TRANSMISSION FUNCTION
The transmission must efficiently transfer the engines power, in
terms of torque, to the vehicles rear wheels. Torque is the twist-
ing or circular force delivered by the engines flywheel. The
transmissions 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 ratios
are correctly spaced so that the engine will operate in its
most efficient RPM range with progressive speed
changes.

To meet the vehicles requirements, the transmission

must have ratios low enough to start the vehicle mov-
ing, to maintain movement up grades, and to keep
engine operating in its peak efficiency range. The trans-
mission, too, must provide an easy method for gear
selection.

TIMING
All Fuller twin countershaft transmissions are timed at assembly. It is important that proper timing procedures are
followed when reassembling the transmission. Timing assures that the countershaft gears will contact the mating
mainshaft 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 the
proper teeth before installation and meshing the marked teeth during assembly. The following is step by step proce-
dure for timing:

COMMON TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS
Vibration
Although the effects of vibration will show up in the
transmission, vibration usually originates somewhere
else in the drive train. Vibration can usually be felt or
heard by the driver; however, in some cases, trans-
mission damage caused by vibration will occur without
the drivers knowledge. (Refer to the Torsional Vibra-
tion section for the causes and cures of vibration
problems.)
Some of the problems found in the transmission due
to drive train vibration are:
1. Gear rattle at idle. (See Shafts section.)

Broken synchronizer pins

6. Broken or loose synchronizer pins.
7. Continuous loosening of capscrews, brackets and
mountings.

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. Input spline wear
8. Worn shaft spline wear.
9. Worn universal joints. (Not a transmission symp-
tom, but an indicator of vibration.)

COMMON TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS (cont)
Common causes of vibration:
1. Driveline imbalance or misalignment. (See Trans-
mission Alignment section.)
2. Unbalanced wheels or brake drums. Detent

3. Rough running engine.
4. Broken or worn engine mounts.
5. Worn Suspension.

Gear Slipout and Jumpout 4. Insufficient pressure on detent ball from weak or
Front Section broken detent spring.
When a sliding clutch is moved to engage with a
mainshaft gear, the mating teeth must be parallel. Ta-
pered or worn clutching teeth will try to walk apart as
the gears rotate. Under the right conditions, slipout will
result. Some of these conditions are:
1. Transmission mounted eccentrically with engine
flywheel pilot.
2. Excessive gear clashing which shortens clutch-
ing teeth.

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 check
for loose connections and worn bushings.
Slipout will generally occur when pulling with full power
or decelerating with the load pushing.
Jumpout will occur when a force sufficient to overcome
the detent spring pressure is applied to the yoke bar,
Snubbed clutching teeth moving the clutch gear to a neutral position.
3. Gear clutching teeth wearing to a taper.

COMMON TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS (cont.)
Conditions which may produce jumpout are:
Jumpout in the auxiliary section usually occurs with the
splitter gear set. If torque is not sufficiently broken dur-
ing splitter shifts, the sliding clutch gear may not have
enough time to complete the shift before torque is re-
applied to the gears. As torque is reapplied, the partially
engaged clutch gear jumps out of the splitter gear.
Since the gears have torque applied to them, damage
will be done to the clutching teeth of the mating gears.

Hard Shifting
The effort required to move a gear shift lever from one
gear position to another varies. If too great an effort is

COMMON TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS (cont.)
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 or
unusual noise. Also noise can originate elsewhere in
the vehicle, but be picked up and amplified by the trans-
mission.

Transmission Noise c. Cracked Gear - A gear cracked or broken by

speeds. 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. In
advanced deterioration, a howl will result.
b. Mismatched Gear Sets - Such gear sets are iden-
tified by an uneven wear pattern on the face of
gear teeth.

GEARS AND SHAFTS

Clashing 1. Improper shifting - This applies to drivers who are
not familiar with the shift pattern or have not learned
the RPM spread between shifts.
2. Clutch - Clashing when starting up in first or reverse
gear can be caused by insufficient clutch clearance
or a dragging clutch not releasing properly. This
makes the transmission countershafts and mainshaft
gears continue rotating while the clutch pedal is de-
pressed. Clashing results when the non-rotating
sliding clutch is forced to mesh with a rotating
mainshaft gear. Double clutching during lever shifts
will also reduce snubbing and clashing.
3. Inertial Force - Countershafts and mainshaft gears
usually take from 3 to 5 seconds to stop rotating
after the clutch has been disengaged. Attempting to
mesh a clutch gear with a mainshaft gear before the

Manufacturing Marks
Sometimes gears are replaced or thought to be defec-
tive because of marks left on the gear by manufacturing
processes. These blemishes, however, do not contrib-
ute to gear failure and the gear should not be replaced
because of these marks.

the tooth will most likely remain, and may be found
even on gears with much wear on them.
Gear Rattle at Idle
Mainshaft gears are designed to have a specified amount
of axial clearance which allows them to rotate freely on
the mainshaft. The amount of clearance is governed by
the use of washers. A rough idling engine can set up
vibrations, causing the mainshaft gears to rattle as they
strike mating gears. This condition can usually be cured
by improving the idling characteristics of the engine.
Tolerance washers may have to be changed to bring the
axial gear clearance to within tolerance on high mileage
units.

GEARS AND SHAFTS (cont.)
Shaft Twist and Fracture
Failure of transmission shafts through fracturing or
twisting is caused when stresses are imposed on them
which 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.

As with gear teeth, shafts may fracture as a result of
fatigue or impact.

Impurities will always enter the transmission during its

New bearings should be stored in their wrappers until
ready for use. Used bearings should be thoroughly
cleaned in solvent, light oil or kerosene, covered with a
coat of oil and wrapped until ready for use. Always use
a new wrapping after reoiling.

Fretted outer race

The bearing outer race can pick up the machining pat-
tern of the bearing bore as a result of vibration. This
action is called fretting.
Many times a fretted bearing is mistakenly diagnosed
as one which has spun in the bore. Only under extreme
conditions will a bearing outer race spin in the bore.

When taking readings on tandem drive axles or between

between axles or between auxiliary and axle. In other
words, take angle readings for each set of universal

Joint Working Angle Limit
(Non-Parallel)
It is recommended that the maximum joint working angle
for non-parallel joint assemblies not exceed the main
drive line length divided by 10. For example, if the main
drive line length is 55, the maximum joint working angle
is 55 10 or 5-1/2 degrees. (This limit does not apply
to interaxle drive lines.)
Axle Adjustments
Axle angles may generally be adjusted by one of the
following 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 angle
with types of suspensions which have a parallelogram
movement. These allow differential housings to move
up and down in a straight vertical during operation.
Suspensions not having a parallelogram movement will
allow axle pinion shaft to oscillate in an arc, thereby
constantly changing pinion shaft angle during opera-
tion. A varying amount of vibration can occur caused
by working angles of the universal joints being momen-
tarily unequal.
Single drive axle vehicles have little or no change of
axle pinion angle during operation.

Fuller transmissions require rotation of the front sec-

tion countershaft and mainshaft gears to provide
adequate lubrication. These gears do not rotate when
the vehicle is towed with the rear wheels on the ground
and the drive train connected. The main-shaft, however,
is driven at a high rate of speed by the rear wheels. The
friction between the mainshaft splined washers, due to
the lack of lubrication and the extreme difference in ro-
tational speeds, will severely damage the transmission.
Coasting with the transmission in neutral will produce
the 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 disconnet
the drive line, or tow with the drive wheels off the
ground.
