Eaton ® Procision ™ Transmission
The Eaton Procision dual-clutch automatic transmission
combines the gear efficiency of a manual with the smooth shifting
of an automatic. It consists of two independent but interlocked
manual transmissions, each with its own independent clutch.
Electronically controlled and hydraulic-actuated gear changes
are achieved by preselecting the correct gear and swapping
torque between the two clutches. The result is smooth and
continuous delivery of torque to the wheels.
The Eaton Procision offers a host of features designed to instill
confidence and maximize efficiency:
• Brake-pedal-actuated Tap Down Shifting gives the
driver more control by downshifting on grades or other
conditions without removing hands from the wheel or
eyes from the road.
• Hill Helper technology prevents roll back or roll forward
for up to 3 seconds, based on grade and vehicle weight,
for a controlled launch.
• Creep Mode allows controlled low-speed parking lot and
loading dock driving without applying the accelerator.
Forward and Reverse creep speeds are independently
adjustable to allow a lower speed in Reverse.
• Eaton Dynamic Shifting uses grade, vehicle weight and
driver demand to select optimum shift points for balance
of economy and performance
