General Information, Automated Transmissions
Refer to the Eaton website (www.roadranger.com) for additional information.
The Eaton Fuller UltraShift is a heavy-duty fully automated transmission. The UltraShift uses a dry clutch system, so no clutch pedal is required to shift gears.
The Eaton Fuller AutoShift transmission requires the driver to use the clutch to start and stop the vehicle. However, the driver does not need to use the clutch to shift gears.
The Eaton Fuller automated transmissions use a shift selection module located on the dash control panel. See Fig.. Shifts can be made automatically, or manually using the shift selection module.
The current gear is displayed on the indicator shown in Fig.. At the start of a shift, the current gear continues to display until the transmission has been pulled into neutral. As the transmission is synchronizing for the new (target) gear, the gear indicator flashes the number of the target gear. When the shift is complete, the gear indicator displays the new gear, without flashing.
