Downshifting

108SD d 14.04.006

Note: With the transmission in drive in the automatic mode, downshifts require no driver interaction.

  1. With the transmission in drive in the manual mode, push the control lever down (away from the driver) to downshift. If the requested gear is available, the transmission will downshift.

    2. Note: Two consecutive, momentary downward pushes will cause a skip shift, when the next two lower gears are available and conditions are appropriate.

  2. To skip shift, move the control lever two times in less than ½-second. The number of the gear engaged will appear on the gear indicator.

    Note: The Eaton Fuller AutoShift transmission is able to perform triple downshifts when the next three lower gears are available and conditions are appropriate. To triple shift, move the control lever three times in less than ½-second.
      If the gear requested is unavailable, a tone will sound. An unavailable requested downshift is stored in memory and the shift will be made when the gear is available. The time limit for this memory is a programmable parameter.
