Page 8: General Information
General Information 18-speed Operation The “MT” 18-speed is an Eaton® Fuller® 18-speed Roadranger® transmission that uses a converter to multiply torque. The 18-speed transmission has eighteen forward speeds and four reverse, consisting of a five-speed front section and a 2 x 2 speed auxiliary section. The auxiliary section contains LO and HI range ratios, plus an overdrive splitter gear. -
Page 9: Transmission Features
Transmission Features Features Range Shift The range lever selects LO or HI range. It is used once during an upshift sequence and once during a downshift sequence. Split Shift When in LO or HI range the ratios can be split by using the splitter button. The rear- ward (direct) position provides for the LO through 8th speed direct gear ratios. -
Page 10: Operation
Operation Driving Operation Driving Tips • Always select an initial starting gear that provides sufficient reduction for the load and terrain. • Always use normal double-clutching procedures when making lever shifts. • Never slam or jerk the shift lever to complete gear engagements. •... - Page 11 Operation Initial Start-Up Warning: Set the parking brakes before starting a vehi- cle, always be seated in the driver’s seat, move the shift lever to neutral, and depress the master clutch. Make sure the shift lever is in neutral and the parking brakes are set. Turn on the key switch to start the engine.
- Page 12 Operation Then IMMEDIATELY release the accelerator, depress the clutch pedal once to break torque, release the pedal to engage the clutch, and accelerate the vehi- cle. The transmission will shift from direct to overdrive when synchronous is reached. EXAMPLE: To shift from 1st direct to 1st overdrive. Upshift from overdrive to direct changing shift lever position.
- Page 13 Operation Downshifting Downshift overdrive to direct in the same gear shift lever position Move the splitter button into the rearward (direct) position. Then IMMEDIATELY release the accelerator, depress the clutch pedal once to break torque, release the pedal to engage the clutch, and accelerate the vehi- cle.
- Page 14 Operation Remote Throttle Warning: BEFORE OPERATING THE REMOTE THROT- TLE, MAKE SURE THE TRANSMISSION IS IN NEU- TRAL. To Make Sure the Transmission in Neutral: Move the shift lever to the neutral position. Move the shift lever side to side in the neutral position to insure neutral. Push the shift lever to the far right.

Page 15: Lubrication
Eaton® Fuller® Transmissions are designed so that the internal parts operate in an oil bath circulated by the motion of the gears and shafts. - Page 16 Lubrication Operating Temperatures Transmissions must not be operated at temperatures above 250°F [120°C]. Operation at temperatures above 250°F [120°C] causes loaded gear tooth temperatures to exceed 350°F [177°C] which will ultimately destroy the heat treatment of the gears. If the ele- vated temperature is associated with an unusual operating condition that will recur, a cooler should be added, or the capacity of the exsisting cooling system increased.
- Page 17 Lubrication Transmission Operating Angles If the transmission operating angle is more than 12 degrees, improper lubrication can occur. A special kit may be required for sustained operation on grades greater than 12 degrees. Lubrication Change and Inspection HIGWAY USE First 1,000 to 1,500 miles Flush hydraulic system and change trans- mission oil filter on new units.
- Page 18 Lubrication Oil Dipstick WARNING: Before working on a vehicle, place the transmission in neutral, set the parking brakes, and block the wheels. Maintaining Oil Level Make sure oil is within dipstick marks for the corresponding oil temperature. Oil should be checked at idle speed in the neutral position using the corresponding temperature band.
- Page 19 Lubrication Lubrication Change Draining Oil Drain transmission while oil is warm. To drain oil, remove the two (2) drain plugs at the case bottom and oil pan. Clean the drain plugs and flush thecooler circuit before re- installing. Refilling The operational level should always be within the appropriate temperature bands on the dipstick.
- Page 20 Lubrication Hydraulic System Flush A complete hydraulic circuit flush should be completed when: • First 1,000 to 1,500 miles for highway use or 30 hours for off-highway use. • A catastrophic failure has occurred. Assumption: The transmission is at ambient (65°F +/-20) temperature. Begin draining the transmission from the two drain locations.
- Page 21 Lubrication 16. Remove the transmission dipstick and slowly pour 7 gallons of the prescribed oil into the transmission. 17. Apply the vehicle parking brakes and place the transmission lever in neutral. Start the engine and let it idle for 5 minutes. Check the dipstick periodically while the engine is idling, adding oil as needed, to obtain a level that is in the cold band on the dipstick.

Preventative Maintenance Maintenance Checks Note: Item numbers refer to the illustration. - Page 23 Use only the types and grades recommended (See TCMT-0021). • Check lubrication lines and cooling circuit for leaks. • Use only genuine Eaton® Fuller® filter elements, when servicing the fil- ter. Air System • Annually replace the filter regulator element. If excessive contamination is present, service the vehicle air/dryer system.
