Operating the Eaton 8908LL 10-speed transmission

These transmissions have five
forward speeds in the LO range, and
four forward speeds in the HI range.
These transmissions employ a Deep
Reduction Valve and control to allow
for a LO-LO gear operation for
adverse conditions. Study the
instruction plate on the sun visor
thoroughly and learn the shift
pattern of your transmission.
To go forward
With the engine idling, depress the clutch pedal and move the gearshift
lever to the neutral position.
Place the range selector in the LO
range and the Deep Reduction
Button in the OUT/REARWARD
position or,
place the Deep Reduction in the
IN/FORWARD position if you want
to start in LO-LO under adverse
conditions.
