While the vehicle is stopped in Drive, the up/down buttons are used to change the starting gear. This selec- tion is used until it is changed again, or the AutoShift is powered down. In Drive mode, all upshifts and downshifts are performed automatically based on vehicle and transmission conditions. -

When switching between types of lubricants, all areas of each affected component must be thoroughly flushed. Note: For a list of Eaton approved synthetic lubricants, see TCMT-0021 or call 1-800-826-HELP (4357). Note: Additives and friction modifiers must not be introduced. - Page 18 Note: The first lube change for a Line-Haul vehicle may be extended to 500,000 miles (800,000 km) when a new transmission has been factory filled with a lube that is Eaton approved for 500,000 miles (800,000 km) (E-500, PS-164).
