I'm fully briefed on the differences b/w HST and gear transmissions....how does a shuttle shift compare/differ b/w those two?

Over simplistic, but essentially you have the same number of gears going back as forward, the shuttle shift simply determines whether you go forward or backward. Some SS are non synchro so you have to come to a full stop to change directions, others are synchro, so you can change at low speed without coming to a full stop. Then there is the hydraulic shuttle shift where the clutch is activated by moving the SS lever and you don't need to come to a full stop.
We have owned all three. I am sure someone else can go into more detail.
Aren't these also known as Reverser transmissions?
