Upshifting

To start the vehicle moving, press the clutch pedal to the floor, shift into LOW or 1st gear, then engage the clutch with the engine at or near idle speed. Accelerate to 80 percent of engine governed speed.

For 18-speed transmissions:

To start the vehicle moving, press the clutch pedal to the floor, shift into LOW, then engage the clutch with the engine at or near idle speed. To shift from LOW direct to LOW overdrive, move the splitter-control button into the overdrive (forward) position, then immediately release the accelerator. Press and release the clutch pedal. After releasing the clutch pedal, accelerate again.

Upshift from LOW (or 1st gear) through 4th gear, double-clutching during knob shifts, and accelerating to 80 percent of engine governed speed. See Fig..

For 18-speed transmissions:

Upshift from LOW overdrive to 1st direct by first moving the splitter-control button into the direct drive (rearward) position (see Fig. ). Double-clutch and move the shift knob through neutral to the 1st gear position.

Continue upshifting through the shift pattern. Double-clutch during knob shifts (1st to 2nd to 3rd to 4th); single-clutch during split shifts (1st direct to 1st overdrive, etc.).

While in 4th gear, pull the range-preselection lever up into high range and move the splitter-control button to the low (rearward) position. Double-clutch through neutral and into 5th gear, engage the clutch, and accelerate the engine.

To shift from 5th direct to 5th overdrive (or 5th underdrive to 5th direct on RT model transmissions), move the splitter-control button to the high (forward) position, then immediately release the accelerator. Press and release the clutch pedal. After releasing the clutch, accelerate again.

Continue upshifting through the shift pattern. Double-clutch during knob shifts (6th to 7th, etc.); single-clutch during split shifts (6th direct to 6th overdrive, etc.).
