General Information
Overview
A shift pattern diagram should be in your vehicle. If it has been lost, a replace-
ment may be obtained by writing to: Eaton Corporation, Transmission Divi-
sion, Service Parts Department, North American Headquarters, P.O. Box 4013,
Kalamazoo, Michigan 49003-4013. Please give the transmission model num-
ber when making request.
The 7-speed transmissions have seven forward speeds and one reverse. All
models are shifted as you would shift any manual transmission, following the
simple 7-speed shift pattern. Coordinate the necessary movements of the shift
lever and clutch pedal to make each gear engagement. Always double-clutch
when making lever shifts (See “Double-Clutching Procedure” Section).
The longer lever throw in 6th and 7th gear positions provide greater clutching
gear tooth contact.
Skip-Shifting
After becoming proficient in shifting, you may want to skip some of the ratios.
This may be done ONLY when operating conditions permit, depending on the
load, terrain and road speed.
Optional Equipment - The Clutch Brake
For easier and faster gear engagement, some Fuller
transmissions may be equipped with a Clutch Brake.
This brake is used to make initial gear engagement into
1st or reverse while the vehicle is standing still.
The brake is applied by fully depressing the clutch pedal
to the floor board. When applied, the brake slows down
the transmission gearing. It is a disc-type brake incor-
porated into the clutch and transmission drive gear assemblies.
Note:
Never use the Clutch Brake when down-shifting, or as a brake to slow
the vehicle.
