Manual transmission and shifting

Note: To shift from low range to high range during acceleration in transmissions with 1H gear system: 1. Press the latch upwards in the 4th gear. 2. Depress the clutch pedal. 3. Select neutral. 4.Shifttheleverfromneutr alto1⁄2rangeandthen1/5gear. Transmission will shift to 5th gear when it is in high range. 5. Slowly release the clutch pedal. 6.Leavethelatchinhighrange. Transmissions have a shift prevention mechanism to protect the transmission against incorrect shifts when the vehicle has reached a certain speed. These mechanisms prevent shifts to 1⁄2 range in certain speeds for low and high ranges, and shifts from high range to low range. Below are the cases re ecting the above mentioned circumstances and where the protection mechanisms are activated for errors likely to be experienced when driving: 1- Driver wants to shift from 4th to 5th, but forgets the switch the latch to high range (upwards) when the vehicle is accelerating: The gear knob cannot be moved to 1/2 position, changing to an incorrect gear is prevented by the system. 2- Driver wants to shift from 6th to 5th, but switches the latch to low range inadvertently when the vehicle is decelerating: As the transmission will try

to shift to 1st in this condition, the shift prevention mechanism is activated and prevents the shift operation, and moves the shift lever to the 3⁄4 range, and changing to an incorrect gear is prevented by the system. 3- Trying to shift from 8th to 5th when the vehicle is movingwithacertainspeed: Selectorlever1 The gear knob cannot be moved to 1/2 position, changing to an incorrect gear is prevented by the system. 4- Trying to shift from low range to high range when the vehicle is moving with a certain speed: System denies the shift to the low range. Driver is not allowed to shift to low range. Prevention mechanisms of the 16 S 2230 transmission specified above are intended to protect the gear and synchronizer mechanisms in the transmission, and these are not error modes. CAUTION Service life of the clutch is proportional with its correct usage. Incorrect usage of the clutch reduces its service life and clutch is damaged because of overheating in a short period of time. Do not hold the vehicle on slopes with semi-applied clutch.

Half Gear – Series

Half Gear 5-6-7-8

Half-Low

There are 16 forward and 4 reverse (in high and low ranges) gears. All gears other than the reverse gears have synchronizers. Shifting from low to high range and selection of half (boost) gears is made via the latches on the gear knob. As shown in the diagram below, the latch in the front side of the gear knob allows selection of the low range (1-2-3-4) and the high range (5-6-7-8). When the latch is down, the transmission is in the low range; and when the latch is up, the transmission is in the high range. The latch on the side of the gear knob allows selection of half (boost) gears. When the latch is down, the transmission is in boost gear; and when the latch is up, the transmission is in normal gear.
