General
The gearbox is a 12 speed overdrive/direct drive gearbox. The gear shifting system is electronically controlled by the
TECU (Transmission Electronic Control Unit). This provides fully automatic gear shifting with the possibility of manual
shifting.

The gearbox has three basic gears, an integrated split gear (high and low) and a range gear (high and low). The split
and range gears are mechanically synchronized whereas the basic gears are electronically synchronized by using the
engine and the countershaft brake to control the input shaft speed.
An oil cooler, PTO (Power Take-Off), compact retarder and emergency power steering pump can be optionally fitted to
the gearbox. (The available optional components can be different in different markets)
Gearbox construction
The gearbox construction consists of three main parts: a clutch housing, a basic housing and a range housing. The
clutch housing forms the front end plate of the gearbox. The base housing contains the main, counter and reverse
shafts along with a selector unit which is integrated into the control housing. The range housing contains the range
gear planetary gear and the output shaft.

2. Main housing
3. Range housing for the retarder
The main parts in the gearbox are the input shaft, main shaft, range gear with selector unit, countershaft, oil pump with
reverse shaft, as well as the control housing with selector unit.
The trailing wheels for the reverse gear and basic gears are located on the main shaft. The range gear's sun gear is
also integrated with the main shaft. The countershaft has fixed gears.
The range gear incorporates a planetary gear and is integrated with the output shaft.
Gearboxes equipped with a power take-off also have a drive shaft fitted.

Range gear
The range synchronising is located outside the ring gear which reduces the unit's length. The large synchronising area
makes for short gear-shift times and the wide planet gears with their helical teeth contribute to a robust and silent
planet gear.

Control housing
Gears are selected using the gear selector. Once a gear has been selected, the system reduces the engine torque to
a suitable level, after which the gears are shifted to neutral.
After the gearbox has been put into neutral, the engine speed is adjusted to accommodate the speed of the selected
gear, after which the gear shift takes place.
The control housing cover has two or sometimes three electrical sockets.

The counter shaft brake is located at the front of the counter shaft and brakes the rotating parts the gearbox when a
start gear is selected, which eliminates gearbox wear, deposits and noise. The brake is also sometimes used during
changing up to give quicker gear changes. It is activated using an integrated pneumatic cylinder.
Countershaft brake
Clutch cylinder
The clutch cylinder is located in the clutch housing, concentrically round the input shaft with a position sensor which
measures clutch wear. A valve unit controls the clutch cylinder and is located on the outside of the clutch housing.

The oil is led into the main shaft to lubricate and cool the range gears as well as the input and main shaft bearings.
The countershaft brake, output shaft bearings, emergency steering servo pump drive, retarder gear and power take-off
are also lubricated.
The lubrication system has two overflow valves. One valve ensures that the gearbox is lubricated if the filter gets
blocked while the other prevents excessive pressures in the system, e.g. during cold start. The valves are made up of
a compression spring and a valve peg.

Oil pump
The oil pump is an eccentric pump driven by the countershaft via a gear. The pump is mounted in two needle bearings
in the reverse shaft.
There is a full flow oil filter of the insert filter type on the pressure side of the pump. It is located in the oil filter housing
in the main housing. A support pipe is fitted in a cover that is fastened to the bottom of the oil filter housing. The
support pipe prevents the filter, which sits on the outside, from collapsing.

The ventilation in the previous version runs through a hose that goes past the control housing and down behind the
valve assembly.

The ventilation in the later version runs through a built-in air duct with two valve holes on the main housing.
The later version of ventilation also has a different design of the main shaft cover (as well as the basic housing).
The complete gearbox is ventilated through its main shaft cover and further through the air duct with two valve holes.
