FSO-2405/88
Gear shift lever pattern
FSO-2405 transmissions have 5 forward speeds
and one reverse, all of them synchronized.
To shift the speeds follow the shift pattern shown
by the illustration on the side.
A reverse gear shifting interlocking system prevents
from accidental transmission shifting from 5th to
reverse gear.
Tips for the driver
Always use the clutch to change the gears. The incorrect use of the clutch may cause premature
failures of the synchronizer assembly.
Always select a starting gear that will provide sufficient power (torque) for the vehicle’s load
and working conditions (terrain).
Never slam or jerk the gear shift lever to complete gear engagement.
Never leave the shift lever in the neutral position while going down hill.
