Do you have to split every gear??? What about down shifting???

Shouldn't it be a hi-lo split for the first 4 gears and reverse? I always learned to downshift by double clutching...although I'm sure you're more well versed than I am, that was a really long time ago when I learned and I've never used it since.

Nah man it's 9 in low grab the switch and 9 in high just like a 10 speed
Depends on which 18 it is. The one truck I have is a 18 double o and has a deep reduction that will split the 1st 5. It's pretty much the same as a 15 speed if you've ever driven one of those.
My favorite is my 85 Pete with a 5 and 4 though
Oh yeah they down shift just like what you are used to. A little seat time and you'll figure out where it likes to be rpm wise and it's like butter

I c. what's the difference between the 18sp transmissions???

Usually the deep reduction is different. The only real difference is the double o has the big hole up next to the dash and the regular 18 it's not if you can drive a 10 spd or a super 10 or a 15 sp you will be fine.
It's a 15 plus 3 you split em all 1 lo 1 hi 2lo 2hi etc then change range and do same 5 lo 5 hi 6 lo 6 hi etc
