Refilling Correct Oil Level Incorrect Oil Level FSO-2105/02 Clean case area around oil filler plug, remove the plug and refill the transmission until lubricant is level with the bottom of the filler plug hole.
Operation Gear shift lever pattern Tips for the driver FSO-2105 and FSO-2505 transmissions have 5 forward speeds and one reverse speed, all of them Always use the clutch to change gears. The incorrect synchronized. use of the clutch may cause premature failures of the To shift speeds, follow the shift pattern shown by the synchronizer assembly.
Power Flow Power Flow 1st Speed The transmission must efficiently transfer the engine’s power or torque to the vehicle’s driveline. It is essential to know what takes place in the transmission during torque transfer when troubleshooting or making repairs. 1st, 2nd and 3rd Speeds 1.
