General Information, AutoShift Transmissions

Eaton Fuller AutoShift transmissions have ten or eighteen forward speeds and two reverse speeds. The driver must use the clutch to start and stop the vehicle. However, the driver does not need to use the clutch to shift gears. The transmission signals the engine controller when to break torque and the engine controller automatically increases or decreases engine speed. When engine speed is correct, the transmission engages the next gear and signals the engine controller to resume operation.
