TRANSMISSION FUNCTION
The transmission must efficiently transfer the engine’s power, interms of torque, to the vehicle’s rear wheels. Torque is the twist-ing or circular force delivered by the engine’s flywheel. Thetransmission’s gear ratios increase or decrease torque depend-ing on the requirements needed to move or start the load.Gearing also increases or decreases speed. The gear ratiosare correctly spaced so that the engine will operate in itsmost efficient RPM range with progressive speedchanges.
To meet the vehicle’s requirements, the transmissionmust have ratios low enough to start the vehicle mov-ing, to maintain movement up grades, and to keepengine operating in its peak efficiency range. The trans-mission, too, must provide an easy method for gearselection.
A simplified diagram of the power flow through a Fullertwin countershaft transmission will help show howtorque and speed are changed, and how torque is di-vided between the two countershafts.
The input shaft and drive gear (1) are in constant meshwith both countershaft drive gears (2); when the inputshaft turns, the countershaft gears are in constant meshwith the “floating” mainshaft gears (3). The mainshaftgears are simply free-wheeling on the mainshaft (4). A

4. Torque delivered by two countershaft gears tomainshaft gear which is engaged. Diagram showsfirst speed gear engaged.
5. Internal splines in hub of mainshaft gear trans-fers torque to mainshaft through sliding clutchgear.
6. Mainshaft transfers torque to auxiliary drive gearthrough a self-aligning coupling gear located inhub of auxiliary drive gear.

TIMING
All Fuller twin countershaft transmissions are “timed” at assembly. It is important that proper timing procedures arefollowed when reassembling the transmission. Timing assures that the countershaft gears will contact the matingmainshaft gears at the same time, allowing mainshaft gears to center on the mainshaft and equally divide the load.
One set of gears must be timed in the front section, and one set the auxiliary section. Timing consists of marking theproper teeth before installation and meshing the marked teeth during assembly. The following is step by step proce-dure for timing:
Front Section
Drive gear teeth correctlymarked for timing.

2. Countershaft Drive Gears - Mark on each drive gearthe gear tooth which is directly over the key-way.This tooth is stamped with an “O” for identifica-tion.
Note: Refer to the appropriate service manual for more detailed timing instructions for the Fuller twin countershafttransmission being assembled.

3. Meshing Countershaft Gears and Main Drive Gear- Install the drive gear assembly. Mesh the markedleft countershaft gear tooth between the twomarked teeth on the drive gear. Repeat the proce-dure with right countershaft.
Auxiliary Section
The gear set which is marked for timing in the auxiliarysection varies, depending on the model. Usually the gearat the rear of the auxiliary is used.
1. Mainshaft Gear - Mark any two adjacent teeth onthe mainshaft gear, then mark the two adjacentteeth directly opposite.
2. Countershaft Gears - On each countershaftasssembly mark the gear tooth which is stampedwith “O”.

COMMON TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS
Vibration
Although the effects of vibration will show up in thetransmission, vibration usually originates somewhereelse in the drive train. Vibration can usually be felt orheard by the driver; however, in some cases, trans-mission damage caused by vibration will occur withoutthe driver’s knowledge. (Refer to the “Torsional Vibra-tion” section for the causes and cures of vibrationproblems.)
Some of the problems found in the transmission dueto drive train vibration are:
1. Gear rattle at idle. (See “Shafts” section.)
Fretted splines
2. Gear and shaft splines “fretted”.
3. Noise. (See “Noise”, this section.)
4. Fretted bearings. (See “Bearing” section.)
5. Repeated rear seal leakage.
Broken synchronizer pins
6. Broken or loose synchronizer pins.
7. Continuous loosening of capscrews, brackets andmountings.
Input spline wear
8. Worn shaft spline wear.
9. Worn universal joints. (Not a transmission symp-tom, but an indicator of vibration.)
6
COMMON TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS (con’t)
Common causes of vibration:
1. Driveline imbalance or misalignment. (See “Trans-mission Alignment” section.)
2. Unbalanced wheels or brake drums.
3. Rough running engine.
4. Broken or worn engine mounts.
5. Worn Suspension.
Gear Slipout and Jumpout
Front Section
When a sliding clutch is moved to engage with amainshaft gear, the mating teeth must be parallel. Ta-pered or worn clutching teeth will try to “walk” apart asthe gears rotate. Under the right conditions, slipout willresult. Some of these conditions are:
1. Transmission mounted eccentrically with engineflywheel pilot.
2. Excessive gear clashing which shortens clutch-ing teeth.
Snubbed clutching teeth
3. Gear clutching teeth wearing to a taper.
4. Insufficient pressure on detent ball from weak orbroken detent spring.
Worn yoke bar
5. Excessive wear on detent notch of yoke bar.
6. Incorrect adjustment of remote shift control link-age resulting in partial engagement. Also checkfor loose connections and worn bushings.
Slipout will generally occur when pulling with full poweror decelerating with the load pushing.
Jumpout will occur when a force sufficient to overcomethe detent spring pressure is applied to the yoke bar,moving the clutch gear to a neutral position.

COMMON TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS (con’t.)
Conditions which may produce jumpout are:
Cut 8005-11/88
Tapered clutching teeth
1. Extra heavy and long shift levers which swing, pen-dulum fashion, from operating over uneven terrain.Whipping action of the lever overcomes detentspring tension.
2. Mechanical remote controls with the mastermounted to the frame. Relative movement betweenengine-transmission package and frame can forcetransmission out of gear. Worn or broken enginemounts increase the effects of this condition.
Auxiliary section
Slipout in the auxiliary section may be caused by theclutching teeth being worn, tapered, or not fully engaged.These conditions cause the clutch gear to “walk” out ofengagement as the gears turn. Causes of these types ofclutching defects are: clashing or normal wear after longlife. Vibrations set up by an improperly aligned driveline and low air pressure add to the slipout problem.
Jumpout in the auxiliary section usually occurs with thesplitter gear set. If torque is not sufficiently broken dur-ing splitter shifts, the sliding clutch gear may not haveenough time to complete the shift before torque is re-applied to the gears. As torque is reapplied, the partiallyengaged clutch gear “jumps” out of the splitter gear.Since the gears have torque applied to them, damagewill be done to the clutching teeth of the mating gears.
Hard ShiftingThe effort required to move a gear shift lever from onegear position to another varies. If too great an effort isrequired it will be a constant cause of complaint fromthe driver.
Most complaints are with remote type linkages used incab-over-engine vehicles. Before checking the transmis-sion for hard shifting the remote linkage should beinspected. Linkage problems stem from worn connec-tions or bushings, binding, improper adjustment, lackof lubrication on the joints or an obstruction which re-stricts free movement.
To determine if the transmission itself is the cause ofhard shifting, remove the shift lever or linkage from thetop of the transmission. Then, move the shift blocksinto each gear position using a prybar or screwdriver. Ifthe yoke bars slide easily, the trouble is with the linkageassembly. If the trouble is in the transmission, it willgenerally be caused by one of the following:
1. Splines of sliding clutch gear binding onmainshaft as a result of a twisted mainshaft key,bent shift yoke or bowed mainshaft key.

Hard Shifting (con’t)
2. Yoke bars binding in the bar housing as a resultof cracked housing, overtorqued shift block lock-screw, sprung yoke bar, or swelled areas of theyoke bar.
If hard shifting occurs only in first and reverse, the shiftblock detent plunger movement may be restricted. Thiscan result from burrs on the plunger, or from overtight-ening the plunger spring plug. With the plunger blockedin the depressed position, the plug should be tighteneduntil it bottoms out against the spring, then backed out1/4 to 1/2 turn.
Gear clashing should not be confused with hard shift-ing. Gear clashing occurs when an attempt is made toengage the clutch gear before it has reached synchroni-zation with the mainshaft gear. (See “Clashing”, thissection.)
Heat
The transmission operating temperature should neverexceed 250°F. (120°C.) for an extended period of time.If it does, the oil will breakdown and shorten transmis-sion life.
Because of the friction of moving parts, transmissionswill produce a certain amount of heat. In most casesnormal operating temperature is approximately 100°F.(40°C.) above ambient. Heat is dissipated through thetransmission case. When conditions prevent the properdissipation of heat, then overheating occurs.
Before checking for possible causes of overheating theoil temperature gauge and sending unit should be in-spected to make sure they are giving correct readings.
Following are some of the causes of overheating.(See also “Lubrication”)
1. Improper lubrication. Oil level too low or too high,wrong type of oil, or an operating angle of morethan 12 degrees.
2. Operating consistently under 20 MPH:
3. High engine RPM.
4. Restricted air flow around transmission, due totransmission being “boxed in” by frame rails, decklids, fuel tanks and mounting brackets, or by alarge bumper assembly.
5. Exhaust system too close to transmission.
6. High ambient temperature.
7. High horsepower, overdrive operation.
8. Coasting downhill with the clutch depressed.
In some cases an external oil cooler kit can be used tocorrect overheating problems.
Transmission Oil Coolers are:
Recommended-With engines of 350 H.P. and above with overdrive
transmissions
Required-With engines 399 H.R and above with overdrive trans-
missions and GCW’s over 90,000 lbs.
-With engines 399 HR and above and 1400 Lbs.-Ft. orgreater torque
-With engines 450 H.R. and above

COMMON TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS (con’t.)
Noise
There will always be a certain level of noise due to nor-mal transmission operation. However, excessive noise,or unusual noise such as whine, growl, or squeal indi-cates some kind of a problem.
The transmission itself can be the cause of excessive orunusual noise. Also noise can originate elsewhere inthe vehicle, but be picked up and amplified by the trans-mission.
Transmission Noise
1. Knocking or thudding.
a. Gears - Bumps or swells on gear teeth. Suchbumps or swells can be removed with a hone orsmall hand grinder; these areas can be identi-fied as highly polished spots on the face of thegear tooth. Generally, this noise is more promi-nent when the gear is loaded; thus, the problemgear can be located as the noise occurs in aspecific gear position. Bumps or swells arecaused by improper handling of gears before orduring assembly.
b. Bearings - Noise comes in at low shaft speedsin any position. It is caused by bearings withdamaged balls or rollers, or with pitted andspalled raceways. (See “Bearings” section.)
c. Cracked Gear - A gear cracked or broken byshock loading or by pressing on shaft duringinstallation will produce this sound at lowspeeds. At high speeds a howl will be present.
2. High Pitched Whine or Squeal.
a. Gear Wear - Result of normal gear wear, includ-ing gear tooth pitting from excessive use. Inadvanced deterioration, a howl will result.
b. Mismatched Gear Sets - Such gear sets are iden-tified by an uneven wear pattern on the face ofgear teeth.
c. Bearings - “Pinched” bearings, having insuffi-cient axial or radial clearance. (See “Bearing”section.)
3. Growling
a. Timing Error - Improper timing of the transmis-sion during reassembly, or improper timing dueto gear turning on the countershaft. Both con-ditions produce error in tooth spacing.

1. Rough idling engine. (See “Gears and Shafts” gear rattle.)
2. Engine operating noise.3. Clutch driven plates in which the dampening action of
springs or rubber blocks has been eliminated by wear setor fracture.

GEARS AND SHAFTS
Clashing
Snubbed clutching teeth
Snubbing and clashing gears while shifting are frequentabuses to which unsynchronized transmissions are sub-jected. Light snubbing will do little damage. The realdamage is done by the hard clash shift caused by en-gaging gears which are far out of synchronization. Thiscan break pieces of metal from the ends of the clutch-ing teeth.
Clashing gears can be traced to one of three causes:
1. Improper shifting - This applies to drivers who arenot familiar with the shift pattern or have not learnedthe RPM spread between shifts.
2. Clutch - Clashing when starting up in first or reversegear can be caused by insufficient clutch clearanceor a dragging clutch not releasing properly. Thismakes the transmission countershafts and mainshaftgears continue rotating while the clutch pedal is de-pressed. Clashing results when the non-rotatingsliding clutch is forced to mesh with a rotatingmainshaft gear. Double clutching during lever shiftswill also reduce snubbing and clashing.
3. Inertial Force - Countershafts and mainshaft gearsusually take from 3 to 5 seconds to stop rotatingafter the clutch has been disengaged. Attempting tomesh a clutch gear with a mainshaft gear before themainshaft gear stops will result in clashing. If thetransmission is not equipped with a clutch brake orcountershaft brake, it is necessary to pause a fewseconds after depressing the clutch pedal before at-tempting initial engagement of the transmission.
Gear FailuresAll gear teeth wear because of the sliding action which takesplace as mating teeth mesh. Normal wear is a constantand slow wearing of the tooth surface. Transmission geartooth life can be shortened by various adverse conditions.These conditions and the failures resulting from them arediscussed in the Fuller booklet entitled “Understanding SpurGear Life” (form no. 186).

GEARS AND SHAFTS (con’t.)
Manufacturing Marks
Sometimes gears are replaced or thought to be defec-tive because of marks left on the gear by manufacturingprocesses. These blemishes, however, do not contrib-ute to gear failure and the gear should not be replacedbecause of these marks.
1. Hob Marks — These are cutting marks or linesformed during the initial cutting of the gear teeth.Hob marks on the tooth face will be removed bythe shaving process, but hob marks in the root ofthe tooth will most likely remain, and may be foundeven on gears with much wear on them.
2. Shaving marks — The shaving operation leavesdistinct diagonal marks on the face of the geartooth. These marks can be distinguished fromscoring marks by the fact they are diagonal, whilescoring marks are more nearly vertical. Most shav-ing marks are removed during normal gearoperation.
3. Lipping — Lipping or shaving burrs, is the for-mation of “lips” at the tip of the gear teethmachining. These “lips” will do no harm to thegear.
Gear Rattle at Idle
Mainshaft gears are designed to have a specified amountof axial clearance which allows them to rotate freely onthe mainshaft. The amount of clearance is governed bythe use of washers. A rough idling engine can set upvibrations, causing the mainshaft gears to rattle as theystrike mating gears. This condition can usually be curedby improving the idling characteristics of the engine.Tolerance washers may have to be changed to bring theaxial gear clearance to within tolerance on high mileageunits.
See the service manual for procedure and specifications.

GEARS AND SHAFTS (con’t.)
Shaft Twist and FractureFailure of transmission shafts through fracturing ortwisting is caused when stresses are imposed on themwhich are greater than they were designed to withstand.The main causes for these failures are:
1. Improper clutching techniques.
2. Starting in too high of gear (either front or aux-iliary section).
3. Lugging.
4. Attempting to start with brakes locked.
5. Transmission used for application it was not de-signed to withstand.
6. Bumping into dock when backing.
7. Improper mounting of adjustable 5th wheel.
Fractured mainshaft
As with gear teeth, shafts may fracture as a result offatigue or impact.
Twisted mainshaft
Loads not severe enough to cause shaft fractures maycause the shaft to twist.

BEARINGS
Fatigue
Bearing race “flaking”
Bearing fatigue is characterized by flaking or spalling ofthe bearing race. Spalling is the granular weakening ofthe bearing steel which causes it to flake away from therace. Because of their rough surfaces, spalled bearingswill run noisy and produce vibration.
Normal fatigue failure occurs when a bearing “lives out”its life expectancy under normal loads and operatingconditions. This type of failure is expected and is a re-sult of metal breakdown due to the continual applicationof speed and load.
Ball path pattern caused by out-of-round squeeze
Premature fatigue failure may occur in transmissionswhen the bearing bore is undersized or out of rounddue to poor quality resleeving. Extreme care should betaken when reboring the housing. Boring the housingoff center will result in misalignment of the shafts. Al-ways use precision equipment such as a jig boringmachine. Never prick punch the bearing bores to tightenthe fit.
Lubrication
Burnt and spalled bearing
Bearing failure due to poor lubrication is characterizedby discoloration of the bearing parts, spalling of the race,and possible breakage of the retainer. Failure may re-sult not only from a low oil level, but also fromcontaminated oil, improper grade oil, or mixing of oiltypes (including the use of additives).
To prevent this type of failure, the transmission shouldalways be filled to the proper level, using a recommendedtype and grade of oil, and changed at regular intervals.(See “Lubrication” section.)
14
Brinelling
Brinelled raceBrinelling can be identified as tiny identations high onthe shoulder or in the valley of the bearing raceway.They can be caused by improper bearing installation orremoval. Driving or pressing on one race, while sup-porting the other is the primary cause. To preventbrinelling always support the race which has pressureapplied to it. In addition to brinelling, damage can alsooccur to the bearing shields, retainers and snap ringsby using a hammer and chisel to drive bearings. Thisdamage can be avoided by using correct drivers or pull-ers.
Fretting
Fretted outer race
The bearing outer race can pick up the machining pat-tern of the bearing bore as a result of vibration. Thisaction is called fretting.
Many times a fretted bearing is mistakenly diagnosedas one which has spun in the bore. Only under extremeconditions will a bearing outer race spin in the bore.
Contamination
Contaminated race
When bearings fail as a result of contamination, it isdue to either contaminants entering the transmissioncase or the bearings have been improperly handled dur-ing service or storage. Bearings affected fromcontamination are identified by scoring, scratching orpitting of the raceways and balls or rollers, or a build upof rust or corrosion on the bearing parts. In addition,the presence of very fine particles in the oil, such asabrasive dust, or the use of overly active EP (extremepressure) oils, will act as a lapping compound and pro-duce a very highly polished surface on the racewaysand balls or rollers. This lapping process will signifi-cantly shorten the life of the bearing.
Impurities will always enter the transmission during itsnormal breathing process. This will not seriously affectthe bearings if the transmission oil is changed as rec-ommended.
New bearings should be stored in their wrappers untilready for use. Used bearings should be thoroughlycleaned in solvent, light oil or kerosene, covered with acoat of oil and wrapped until ready for use. Always usea new wrapping after reoiling.

Misalignment
Bearing misalignment
Misalignment can occur in the input shaft drive gearbearing if the transmission is mounted eccentrically withthe pilot bearing bore in the flywheel. An indication ofthis condition would be damage to the ball separatorsand shield.
The clutch housing, clutch housing mounting face, andpilot bearing should be checked for eccentricity, foreignmatter and proper mounting position when trying tolocate the cause of the misalignment. (See “Alignment”section.)
Electric Arcing
Electric arcing
When an electric current passing through a bearing isbroken at the contact surfaces of the ball or roller andraces, arcing results, which will pit the bearing compo-nents. In extreme cases, the balls or rollers may actuallybe welded to the bearing races, preventing the bearingfrom rotating.
This condition may occur in truck transmissions as aresult of electric welding on the truck with an improperground. When doing either A.C. or D.C. welding, neverplace the ground so as to allow current to pass throughthe transmission.

Common concerns resulting frommisalignment
• Direct gear slipout
• Drive gear bearing failure
• Premature input shaft spline wear from rear hubof two plate clutches.
Concentric alignment means that the engine and trans-mission must have a common axis. The purpose of thissection is to set forth the procedures to use in checkingfor possible misalignment.
The basic instrument needed for taking readings is ataper pointed dial indicator. Accuracy of readings is es-sential for correcting alignment problems. Clean allsurfaces thoroughly before proceeding.
IMPORTANT. When taking the following readings, ro-tate engine by hand, do not crank engine with starter.Remove spark plugs on gasoline engines, and releasecompression on diesel engines. NOTE: Before dial indi-cating engine flywheel or flywheel housing, make sureengine crankshaft does not have excessive end-play. Ifit does, accurate readings cannot be obtained. Place dialindicator finger against flywheel. Force crankshaft backand forth with pry bar. If end-play movement exceedsmaximum as specified by engine manufacturer, it willhave to be corrected.
Worn Housings
Inspect for worn or fretted pilot on both the transmis-sion clutch housing and the engine flywheel housing.The 1/4" pilot lip of transmission clutch housing canwear into the flywheel housing either by transmissionloosening up or after high mileage just from road andengine vibration. Any appreciable amount of wear oneither part will cause misalignment and the part shouldbe replaced.
The wear will generally be found from the 3:00 o’clockto 8:00 o’clock position.

Torsional Vibration
Checking Driveline U-Joint Operation Angles
The action of a drive line with a universal joint at eitherend working through an angle results in a peculiar mo-tion. The drive line will speed up and slow down twicefor each revolution. If the working angles at either endof the shaft are unequal, torsional vibration results. Thistorsional vibration will tend to cancel itself out if bothjoint working angles are equal.
Types of Noise
Noise or vibration which occurs only at certain roadspeeds and diminishes as speed increases is generallycaused by unequal working angles of drive line joints.
Noise or vibration which is persistent throughout thespeed range and varies in intensity with change of speedmay be caused by unbalanced drive lines, unbalancedbrake drums or discs, or drive lines with universal jointsout of phase.
Preliminary Checks
Make checks of the following before taking angle read-ings:
1. Check companion flange or yoke nut for loose-ness and torque to proper specification ifnecessary.
2. Drive line slip joints that do not have the arrowsor other markings pointing to each other will re-sult in the drive line universal joints being out ofphase. In other words, the transmission universaljoint may be turned one spline or more to the rightor left of being aligned with the universal joint atopposite end of the drive line. NOTE: Some com-puter designed drive lines are purposely built withU-joints out of phase. Check manufacturers speci-fications for proper setting. Also, check closely tomake certain no twist has occured to the tubing,causing these two joints to be out of phase.
Make sure the slip joint works freely and is not boundor seized. Slip joints must absorb axle housing move-ments.
3. Unbalanced drive lines can cause vibration thatoccurs throughout the speed range of vehicle andvaries in intensity with change of speed. The driveline may be at fault in respect to balance and con-centricity. A quick field check to determine driveline balance can be made by securing a small pieceof metal or similar weight with a hose

clamp to the front of the tube where the splined shaft iswelded. Road test the vehicle and continue to move theweight around tube until balance point is found and vi-bration disappears, or is minimized.
Drive lines are dynamically balanced to their intendedrotational velocity and not to infinite speeds. Thus, vi-bration can be expected when this rotational velocity isexceeded.
Check concentricity of drive line by mounting on lathecenters and dial indicating. Check manufacturer’s speci-fications for runout allowance.
4. Engine supports that are worn, broken or loose,and mounting pads that are worn or deterioratedmust be corrected to restore the engine suspen-sion to its original vibration tolerance.
Taking Readings
Take readings with protractor from machined surfacesof yokes or companion flanges. Plain, wing or flangetype joints may be encountered. Some will require par-tial disassembly to obtain accurate readings.
On plain type joints, it may be necessary to remove thebearing cap. When taking readings, make sure the uni-versal joint is in a vertical plane.
At the rear axle, take readings from a machined surfacedifferential carrier that is in the same plane as the axlepinion shaft, or from machined surface that is perpen-dicular to pinion shaft, whichever is easier.
If vibration occurs while operating empty, take readingsin empty condition. If it occurs when loaded, take read-ings when loaded.
When it is necessary to measure drive line lengths,measure from joint center to joint center.
Limits
Manufacturer’s specifications should be followed whenmaking initial angularity check. Some manufacturershave found it necessary to vary from the ideal due togeometrical limitations. If vibration persists after ad-hering to manufacturer’s specifications, contact themanufacturer’s representative.
Angularity Checks – Parallel Flanges or Yokes
1. Single Axle Vehicles
a. Transmission angle. Take reading of transmis-sion angle. This angle is the angle to which therear axle joint angle must match. The transmis-sion angle will have a declination reading of from0 to 5 degrees in most cases.
20
Cut 8580F-11/86
DRIVELINE ANGULARITY (con’t.)
b. Axle angle. Take reading either from machinedsurface of axle housing or pinion bearing re-tainer. This angle must be within one degreeof the transmission angle.
c. Example: If transmission angle reading is 3 de-grees down to the rear, the rear axle angle shouldbe 3 degrees up.
2.Tandem Axles or Vehicles with Auxiliary Units
a. Take transmission angle reading.b. Take reading from joint of front tandem axle or
auxiliary joint. This reading should be withinone degree of transmission angle. NOTE: Therear joint of front tandem axle will be the sameas the front joint.
c. Take reading of joint angle at tandem rear axle,or axle to rear of auxiliary. This angle must bewithin one degree of transmission angle.
Joint Working Angle Limits (Parallel)
Universal joints have a maximum working angle, de-pending on type and manufacture. It is recommendedthat the joint working angle for parallel joint assemblynot exceed 8 degrees for main drive lines over 40" long.For main drive lines under 40" the maximum angle shouldnot exceed Length (L) divided by 5. (This limit does notapply to interaxle drive lines.) Example: For a 35" driveline, the maximum joint working angle would be 35 + 5or 7° This working angle must not be exceeded.
Place protractor on drive line to obtain angle of drive linefrom transmission to axle. The difference between thedrive line angle and the joint angle is the joint workingangle. For instance, if the transmission is 3 degrees down,and the drive line angle is down 7 degrees, the transmis-sion joint working angle is 7 minus 3 or 4 degrees.
On tandem drive or auxiliary installations, take readingsin the same manner, comparing the universal joint anglesto the drive line angle to which it is attached.
Angularity Checks - Non Parallel Compensating Anglesor Flanges or Yokes
With short wheel base vehicles which have a minimumdrive line length from transmission to axle, the driveline is required to operate through very severe workingangles on some installations. This also applies to inter-axle drive lines. These severe joint working angles inducevibration.
To decrease working angles, the axle is tilted upwarduntil the pinion shaft centerline and transmissionmainshaft centerline intersect midway between the jointcenters.
With tandem drive axles, the rearward axle is tiltedupward until its pinion shaft centerline and forward axlepinion shaft centerline intersect midway between jointcenters.
When figuring non-parallel joint installations, it is nec-essary to take the drive line angle readings as well astransmission and axle angle readings.
1.Single Axle Vehiclesa. Take angle reading of transmission.b. Take angle reading of drive line.c. Take angle reading of axle joint.d. To compute for correct angles:
(1) The difference between the drive line angleand the transmission angle will be the trans-mission joint working angle.
(2) The difference between the drive line angleand the axle angle will be the axle joint work-ing angle.
(3) The two working angles of transmissionand axle must be equal.
e. Example:Transmission is 3 degrees down.Drive line is 7.5 degrees down.Rear axle is 12 degrees down.Thus 7.5 minus 3 equals 4.5 degrees.12 minus 7.5 equals 4.5 degrees giving 4.5,equal working angles.

2. Tandem Axles or Vehicles with Auxiliary Units
When taking readings on tandem drive axles or betweenauxiliary and rear axle, the same principles apply as withsingle axle vehicles. Take readings between transmis-sion and front tandem axle, or auxiliary. Take readingsbetween axles or between auxiliary and axle. In otherwords, take angle readings for each set of universaljoints.
Joint Working Angle Limit(Non-Parallel)
It is recommended that the maximum joint working anglefor non-parallel joint assemblies not exceed the maindrive line length divided by 10. For example, if the maindrive line length is 55, the maximum joint working angleis 55 ÷ 10 or 5-1/2 degrees. (This limit does not applyto interaxle drive lines.)
Axle Adjustments
Axle angles may generally be adjusted by one of thefollowing ways, depending on the type of axle.
1. Adjust torque rods, if adjustable type.2. Add to or reduce length of non-adjustable torque
rods.3. Add or reduce the number of shims behind torque
rod brackets.4. Use correct amount of wedge shims under spring
to axle pad.
Suspensions – Pinion Shaft Angle
There will be little or no change of axle pinion anglewith types of suspensions which have a parallelogrammovement. These allow differential housings to moveup and down in a straight vertical during operation.
Suspensions not having a parallelogram movement willallow axle pinion shaft to oscillate in an arc, therebyconstantly changing pinion shaft angle during opera-tion. A varying amount of vibration can occur causedby working angles of the universal joints being momen-tarily unequal.
Single drive axle vehicles have little or no change ofaxle pinion angle during operation.

Proper Lubrication. . .the key to long transmission life
Proper lubrication procedures are the key to a good all-around maintenance program. If the oil is not doing its job, orif the oil level is ignored, all the maintenance procedures inthe world are not going to keep the transmission running orassure long transmission life.
Eaton® Fuller® Transmissions are designed so that the in-ternal parts operate in a bath of oil circulated by the motion ofgears and shafts.
Thus, all parts will be amply lubricated if these proceduresare closely followed:
1. Maintain oil level. Inspect regulary.2. Chang oil regularly.3. Use the correct grade and type of oil.4. Buy from a reputable dealer.

Do not use mild EP gear oil or multi purpose gear oil whenoperating temperatures are above 2300F (110°C). Many of thesegear oils, particularly 85W140, break down above 2300F andcoat seals, bearings and gears with deposits that may causepremature failures. If these deposits are observed (especially acoating on seal areas causing oil leakage), change to EatonRoadranger CD5O transmission fluid, heavy duty engine oil ormineral gear oil to assure maximum component life and to main-tain your warranty with Eaton. (Also see “OperatingTemperatures”.)
Additives and friction modifiers are not recommended for use
in Eaton Fuller transmissions.
Proper Oil LevelMake sure oil is level with filler opening. Because you can
reach oil with your finger does not mean oil is at proper level.One inch of oil level is about one gallon of oil.
Draining OilDrain transmission while oil is warm. To drain oil remove the
drain plug at bottom of case. Clean the drain plug before re-installing.
RefillingClean case around filler plug and remove plug from side of
case. Fill transmission to the level of the filler opening. If trans-mission has two filler openings, fill to level of both openings.
The exact amount of oil will depend on the transmission in-clination and model. Do not over fill this will cause oil to beforced out of the transmission
When adding oil, types and brands of oil should not be mixedbecause of possible incompatibility.

Operating Temperatures– With Eaton® Roadranger®
CD50 Transmission FluidHeavy Duty Engine Oiland Mineral Oil
The transmission should not be operated consistentlyat temperatures above 250°F (120°C). However, inter-mittent operating temperatures to 300°F (149°C) willnot harm the transmission. Operating temperaturesabove 250°F increase the lubricant’s rate of oxidationand shorten its effective life. When the average operat-ing temperature is above 250°F, the transmission mayrequire more frequent oil changes or external cooling.
The following conditions in any combination can causeoperating temperatures of over 250°F: (1) operating con-sistently at slow speeds, (2) high ambient temperatures,(3) restricted air flow around transmission, (4) exhaustsystem too close to transmission, (5) high horsepower,overdrive operation.
External oil coolers are available to reduce operatingtemperatures when the above conditions are encoun-tered.
Transmission Oil Coolers are:
Recommended- With engines of 350 H.P. and above with over-
drive transmissions
Required
- With engines 399 H.P. and above with overdrivetransmissions and GCW’s over 90,000 lbs.
- With engines 399 H.P. and above and 1400 Lbs.-Ft. or greater torque
- With engines 450 H.P. and above
-With ED or Multipurpose Gear Oil
Mild EP gear oil and multipurpose gear oil are notrecommended when lubricant operating temperaturesare above 230°F (110°C). In addition, transmission oilcoolers are not recommended with these gear oils sincethe oil cooler materials may be attacked by these gearoils. The lower temperature limit and oil cooler re-striction with these gear oils generally limit theirsuccess to milder applications.
Proper Lubrication Levels as Related to TransmissionInstallation Angles.
If the transmission operating angle is more than 12degrees, improper lubrication can occur. The operatingangle is the transmission mounting angle in the chassisplus the percent of upgrade (expressed in degrees).
The chart below illustrates the safe percent of upgradeon which the transmission can be used with variouschassis mounting angles. For example: if you have a 4degree transmission mounting angle, then 8 degrees(or 14 percent of grade) is equal to the limit of 12 de-grees. If you have a 0 degree mounting angle, thetransmission can be operated on a 12 degree (21 per-cent) grade.
Anytime the transmission operating angle of 12 de-grees is exceeded for an extended period of time thetransmission should be equipped with an oil pump orcooler kit to insure proper lubrication.
Note on the chart the effect low oil levels can have onsafe operating angles. Allowing the oil level to fall 1/2"below the filler plug hole reduces the degree of gradeby approximately 3 degrees (5.5 percent).
Proper Lubrication Levels are Essential!

TROUBLESHOOTER’S GUIDELINEFollowing is a basic procedure guideline for troubleshoot-ing transmissions:
1.Preliminary Inspection.
a. Personal Observation – look for signs of misusesuch as broken mounts, fittings or brackets; checkair lines.
b. Question the Owner or Operator – gather informa-tion on operating conditions and vehicle use, onhistory of problem, and on shifting characteristicsif affected.
c. Gather History of Unit – including maintenance andlubrication procedures, past failures, and mileageor hours of use.
2.Disassemble Transmission.
a. Keep oil sample for impurities, check if needed.
b. During disassembly, check for incorrectly installedparts, missing parts, and nongenuine parts.
c. Clean and inspect each piece closely.
3.Determine Type of Failure.
4.Determine and correct Cause of Failure.
To Use Guide Line Chart
The Troubleshooter’s Guideline chart is used to locate andcorrect transmission problems.
To use the guideline, 1) Locate the transmission problemin the left hand column; 2) Trace line horizontally acrossthe page until a rectangle with a number in it is reached; 3)Trace up vertical column to find a possible cause. The num-ber in the intersection of the vertical and horizontal linestell which corrections to use; 4) Possible corrections arelisted below. There may be more than one possible causeand possible correction for each problem.
POSSIBLE CORRECTIONS1. Instruct driver on proper driving techniques.2. Replace parts. (After trying other listed possible corrections)3. Loosen lockscrew and retighten to proper torque.4. Look for resultant damage.5. Smooth with emery paper.6. Reset to proper specifications.7. Install missing parts.8. Check air lines or hoses.9. Tighten part.
10. Correct the restriction.11. Recheck timing.12. Clean part.13. Apply thin film silicone.14. Apply sealant.

TOWING OR COASTING
Fuller transmissions require rotation of the front sec-tion countershaft and mainshaft gears to provideadequate lubrication. These gears do not rotate whenthe vehicle is towed with the rear wheels on the groundand the drive train connected. The main-shaft, however,is driven at a high rate of speed by the rear wheels. Thefriction between the mainshaft splined washers, due tothe lack of lubrication and the extreme difference in ro-tational speeds, will severely damage the transmission.Coasting with the transmission in neutral will producethe same damage.
To prevent this kind of damage:
Never coast with the transmission in neutral.
Never coast with the clutch depressed.
When towing, pull the axle shafts, or disconnetthe drive line, or tow with the drive wheels off theground.
