Downshifting

SD DM 13.01.04
  1. With the transmission in high range, shift progressively downward to the bottom gear in high range, double-clutching between shifts.
  2. When in the bottom gear of the high range shift pattern, and ready for the next downshift, push the range preselection lever down into low range. Double-clutch through neutral, and shift into the top gear of the low range shift pattern. As the shift lever passes through neutral, the transmission will automatically shift from high range to low range.
  3. Important: Never use the clutch brake when downshifting, or as a brake to slow the vehicle.

  4. With the transmission in low range, downshift through the low range gears as conditions require.
