TMS700E SERVICE MANUAL POWER TRAIN
7. Slowly let up on the pedal and check the measurement
from the floor to the pedal at the moment the gauge can
be removed. Measurement should be 12.7-25.4 mm
(0.50-1.00 in). Adjust as necessary and repeat
measurement.
8. For rod linkage, adjust the rod end bearings evenly at
each rod end. Lengthen rod to squeeze closer to end of
pedal stroke.
9. For cable linkage, adjust cable inside frame rail near cab
by loosening jam nuts and turning cable assembly.
Approximately 44.5 mm (1.75 in) total adjustment
available (22.4 mm (.88 in) each way from center). If
more adjustment is needed, obtain by adjusting cable at
transmission end. Clevis at either end may be adjusted if
adjusting both cable ends does not provide enough
travel.
10. Set the clutch pedal free travel to 12.7-25.4 mm (0.50-
1.00 in) using the adjusting screw on the clutch pedal
adjusting lever.
11. Verify free-play: Check distance between yoke tips and
bearing wear pads. This should be 3.2 mm (0.125")
(Figure 7-29). To change clearance, adjust upper pedal
stop in cab.
12. Grease the yoke fingers, cross shaft bushings, linkage
pivot points, and release bearing per instructions in
Lubrication on page 9-1. Apply anti seize to spline shaft.
Lubrication
General
The transmission is designed so the internal parts operate in
a bath of oil circulated by the motion of gears and shafts.
Gray iron parts have built-in channels where needed, to help
lubricate bearings and shafts. Thus, all parts will be amply
lubricated if these procedures are closely followed.
1. Maintain the oil level. Inspect regularly.
2. Change the oil regularly.
3. Use the correct grade and type of oil.
4. Buy from a reputable dealer.
Draining Oil
Drain the transmission while the oil is warm. Remove the
drain plug at the bottom of the case. Clean the drain plug
before installation.
Refilling Oil
Clean the area around the filler plug and remove the plug
from the left side of the case. Fill the transmission to the level
of the filler opening. The exact amount of oil will depend on
the transmission inclination; always fill to the proper level
according to the dipstick. Do not overfill. This will cause oil to
be forced out of the case through the main shaft opening.
Adding Oil
It is recommended that types and brands of oil not be
intermixed because of possible incompatibility.
Operating Temperature
It is important the transmission operating temperature does
not exceed 120°C (250°F) for an extended period of time.
Operating temperatures above 120°C (250°F) will cause
breakdown of the oil and shorter transmission life.
The following conditions in any combination can cause
operating temperatures of over 120°C (250°F).
1. Operating consistently at road speeds under 32 km/h
(20 mph).
2. High engine RPM.
3. High ambient temperature.
4. Restricted air flow around the transmission.
5. Exhaust system too close to the transmission.
6. High horsepower, overdrive operation.
High operating temperatures may require more frequent oil
changes.
Proper Lubrication
If the transmission operating angle is more than 12 degrees,
improper lubrication can occur. The operating angle is the
transmission mounting angle in the chassis plus the percent
of upgrade (expressed in degrees).
Preventive Maintenance
The following checks can be performed without disassembly:
• Air System and Connections. Check for leaks, worn
air lines, loose connections, and capscrews.
