the clutch brake; instead, partially depress the
clutch pedal, and move the shift lever into neu-
tral.
4.
Release the clutch pedal, and allow the engine
to decelerate until the road speed and the engine
rpm match.
5.
Partially depress the clutch pedal, and move the
shift lever into 1st gear.
6.
Double-clutch to continue upshifting until in fourth
gear. See Table 8.3.
7.
To upshift into high range—with the transmission
still in 4th gear—push the range selection lever
up to put the transmission into high range, then
partially depress the clutch pedal and move the
shift lever into neutral. As the shift lever passes
through neutral, the transmission will automati-
cally shift from low range to high range.
8.
Release the clutch pedal, and let the engine slow
until the road speed and engine rpm match.
9.
Partially disengage the clutch, and move the shift
lever into 5th gear.
10.
To upshift from 5th gear into 5th overdrive, flip
the splitter control button up to the overdrive po-
sition; then, immediately release the accelerator,
and press and release the clutch pedal. It is not
necessary to move the shift lever when shifting
from direct to overdrive; the transmission will
shift when synchronization with the engine’s
speed is reached. Accelerate the engine only
after the transmission has shifted.
11.
To shift from 5th overdrive to 6th direct, partially
disengage the clutch, shift into 6th—but before
engaging the clutch—flip the splitter control but-
ton down into the direct drive position; then en-
gage the clutch, and accelerate the engine.
Do not move the control button while the shift
lever is in neutral.
12.
Shift upward through each of the high range
gears, alternating the procedures in steps 10 and
11, above.
Downshifting
1.
Downshift from 8th overdrive to 8th direct without
moving the shift lever. Flip the splitter control but-
ton down to the direct drive position, then imme-
diately release the accelerator, and press and
release the clutch pedal. Accelerate the engine
only after the transmission has shifted.
2.
To downshift from 8th direct to 7th overdrive, flip
the splitter control button up to the overdrive po-
sition, then immediately double-clutch through
neutral, moving the shift lever from 8th to 7th
gear.
3.
Downshift through each of the high range gears
alternating the procedures in steps 1 and 2,
above, until reaching 5th direct.
4.
While in 5th direct, and ready for the next down-
shift, push the range selection lever down into
low range. Double-clutch through neutral, and
shift into 4th gear. See Fig. 8.23. As the shift
lever passes through neutral, the transmission
will automatically shift from high range to low
range.
5.
With the transmission in low range, downshift
through the low range gears as conditions re-
quire.
IMPORTANT: Never use the clutch brake when
downshifting, or as a brake to slow the vehicle.

General Information, AutoSelect
Eaton Fuller 10-speed AutoSelect automated trans-
missions have 10 forward speeds and two reverse
speeds. The transmission consists of a 5-speed front
section and a 2-speed rear section. The driver must
use the clutch to start and stop the vehicle.
10-Speed RTAO Models
Eaton Fuller 10-speed transmissions have 10 forward
speeds and two reverse speeds. The transmission
consists of a 5-speed front section and a 2-speed
rear section. The driver must use the clutch to start
and stop the vehicle.
When conditions are right for a shift, the transmission
Electronic Control Unit (ECU) notifies the driver with
a tone from the Driver Command Console (DCC).
See Fig. 8.24. The driver, when ready to shift,
breaks torque and the transmission goes to Neutral.
