Lubrication
Proper lubrication procedure is the key to a good and complete maintenance program. If the
oil is not doing its job, or if the oil level is ignored, all the other possible maintenance procedures
1
will not be enough to keep the transmission running or to assure long transmission life.
Eaton transmissions are designed so that all the internal parts operate in oil circulating bath,
created by the motion of gears and shafts. Thus, all parts are correctly lubricated if these
procedures are closely followed:
1. Maintain proper oil level, inspecting it regularly.
2. Change oil regularly following maintenance interval chart.
3. Use the recommended grade and type of oil.
4. Buy oil from a reputable dealer.
Oil change and level inspection

Periodic transmission oil change eliminates possible bearing failures, ring wear and seizures,
since the products of normal wear in service (tiny metal particles), which circulate in the
transmission oil, are harmful to these parts. In addition, the oil changes its chemical
characteristics due to the repeated heating and cooling cycles of a transmission in use.
As a general guide, the following chart provides maintenance interval recommendation to
level inspection and oil change.
WARNING! Always follow the vehicle manufacturer maintenance recommendation,
that prevails over this chart.
Recommended lubricant oil: SAE 80W90 API GL3 or API GL4
Highway use
After first 50,000 km Change transmission oil
Every 25,000 km Inspect oil level and check for leaks
Every 100,000 km Change transmission oil
Off-highway use
After first 25,000 km Change transmission oil
Every 12,500 km Inspect oil level and check for leaks
Every 50,000 km Change transmission oil

Lubrication
Draining
It is important to drain the transmission while it is warm. To drain the oil, remove the magnetic
drain plug. Clean the drain plug before reinstalling it.
Refilling
1
Correct Oil Level Incorrect Oil Level
FSO-2405/87
Clean the case around the oil fill plug, remove the plug and refill the transmission to the level
of the filler opening.
Oil quantify necessary to refill the transmission depends on the transmission angle. So, refill
the transmission with the vehicle on a flat and leveled surface.
Do not fill the transmission above the recommended level. This will cause oil to be forced out
of the case through the front bearing cover, the control cover, the shift lever housing, etc.
Lubricant capacity
4.6 liters
NOTE: The supplied oil volume may vary according to engine and transmission operating
angle. Always refill the transmission with proper grade and type of lubricant up to the
level of the filler plug opening.
Oil level inspection

Every time the oil level is being checked, clean the area around the filler plug and, if necessary,
add sufficient oil to maintain the proper oil level.
WARNING! Do not mix oils of different types and brands, as they might not be
compatible.

Operation
Gear shift lever pattern
1
FSO-4305/FSO4405 transmissions have 5 forward
speeds and one reverse, all of them synchronized.
To shift the speeds follow the shift pattern shown
by the illustration aside.
A reverse gear shifting interlocking system prevents
from accidental transmission shifting from 5th to
reverse gear.
FSO-4405A/151
Tips for the driver

Always use the clutch to change the gears. The incorrect use of the clutch may cause premature
failures of the synchronizer assembly.
Always select a starting gear that will provide sufficient reduction (torque) for the vehicle’s load
and working conditions (terrain).
Never slam or jerk the gear shift lever to complete gear engagement.
Never leave the shift lever in the neutral position while going down hill.

Power Flow
The transmission must efficiently transfer the engine’s power or torque to the vehicle’s driveline.
It is essential to know what takes place in the transmission during torque transfer when
1
troubleshooting or repairs are required.
1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th Speeds

1. Torque from the engine is transferred to the transmission’s input shaft.
2. The torque is transferred from the input shaft to the countershaft, through its drive gear. In
this way, input shaft and countershaft always run together.
3. The torque from the countershaft is delivered to all main shaft gears, assembled on bearings.
These gears rotate free unless one of the gears is shifted.
4. When a gear is shifted, the torque is transferred from the corresponding engaged main
shaft gear to the clutching teeth of the synchronizer assembly and then to the synchronizer
hub, that runs together with the main shaft. Torque is, then, delivered along the main shaft
to the driveline components through output yoke.

Power Flow
4th Speed
The 4th speed gear is also named direct speed gear.
Torque comes from the input shaft, which transfers the torque directly to the main shaft, despite
of moving the counter shaft at the same time. This torque is transferred through the input shaft
clutching teeth, which are engaged to the 4th speed synchronizer hub, directly connected to
the main shaft.
1
The transmission’s noise level in this speed is really low, since torque is delivered directly from
one shaft to another and there are no gears under load.
4th Speed
FSO-4405A/166

Power Flow
Reverse Speed
When the reverse speed gear is shifted, torque is transferred from countershaft to the reverse
1 idler gear, that changes the rotating direction, and then, from that gear to the main shaft
reverse speed gear.

Torque Recommendation
Tightening capscrews, plugs and nuts to the proper torque is important to prevent oil leakage
and loosening of components, assuring a long working life to the transmission. Additionally,
1
always apply sealant to the threads whenever recommended.
WARNING! Always use a torque wrench to tight to the recommended torque.

Precautions
Precautions during disassembly and assembly
1
WARNING! When assembling the transmission, it is important to lubricate gear
bearings, needle bearings, non-sealed bearings and all other parts under friction
conditions, with the same transmission lubricant oil, in order to prevent damage
to transmission parts during initial gears movement.
Cleaning and handling

In order to completely clean the parts, wash them into a solvent bath (kerosene, for instance),
moving every part slowly up and down until all the old lubricant and foreign material have
been dissolved.
WARNING! Care must be taken to avoid skin rasher, fire hazard and vapor
inhalation when using solvents.
Non-sealed bearings
Immerse the bearings in clean solvent. Move them slowly up and down in order to loosen the
deposits. Dry the bearings with moisture free compressed air, avoiding the direct air flow to
the bearing in order not to rotate it in high speed. Repeat the above mentioned operation until
the bearings are thoroughly clean.
WARNING! Never drive the air jet directly to bearing in order to rotate it in high
speed. That can damage the bearing.
Synchronizer assemblies
Avoid bad handling of synchronizer assemblies. Either drops or bumps when disassembling
or assembling may lock them.

Precautions
Housings
Clean thoroughly the interior and exterior of cases, covers, etc. Cast parts may be cleaned in
1 mild alkaline solution baths (a 7% soluble degreasing oil solution is recommended). The parts
are to remain in the bath for the time required to become completely clean. The parts cleaned
in alkaline solutions should be rinsed with clean water to remove any alkaline trace after
cleaning process.
WARNING! Care must to be taken to avoid vapor inhalation and skin rashes when
using alkaline solutions. Every cleaned part must be totally dried at once by means
of moisture free compressed air, or else, by means of a lint free soft cloth, free of
any abrasive material such as metal filings, contaminated oil or polishing
compounds.
Inspection
A thorough and careful inspection of every part is very important for the transmission life. The
replacement of parts showing either wear or fatigue will avoid future expensive and foreseen
failures.
Gears, shafts and synchronizer assemblies

Whenever magna-flux is available, this process should be used to check the parts.
Check carefully gear teeth for wear, pitting, chipping and cracks. If gear teeth show areas
where the hardening layer is worn out or cracked, the gear should be replaced by a new one.
Check shafts for warping and excessive wear or damaged splines.
Cases, covers, etc.

Make sure cases, covers, etc. are completely clean and that mounting surfaces and bearing
bores are free from chips or burrs. Check carefully every part for cracks, excessive wear or for
any other condition that may cause oil leak or a future failure.
Needle bearings
Check carefully every needle roller for wear, pitting or cracked areas to determine whether
they are suitable for reuse or should be replaced. After inspection, dip the needle bearings in
an oil bath and then wrap them in a lint free cloth or paper, so as to protect them until they are
to be reassembled.

Precautions
Oil seals and snap rings

Any oil seal, snap ring, etc. damaged during maintenance, should be replaced by a new one.
Replacement of oil seals and snap rings is cheaper when unit is disassembled than a premature
overhaul to replace these parts in a future time.
An oil leakage through a worn seal may result in failures of other more expensive components
of the transmission. The sealing elements should be handled carefully, particularly during
assembly. Cuts, scratches or rolled up seal lips decrease the sealing efficiency.
1
WARNING! Snap rings have proper assembling position due to the angle of their
opening ends. The side with shorter opening should be faced outwards to facilitate
the installation with pliers.
This side out
FSO-2405/98

Precautions
Parts replacement
1
When it is necessary to replace parts, use only genuine Eaton transmission spare parts to
assure continued performance and extended life of the transmission. The use of either non
genuine or remanufactured spare parts, besides not having the factory’s warranty, may lead to
severe damage of the unit.
Since the cost of a new part is generally a small fraction of the total cost of downtime and
service labor, do not reuse a questionable part which could lead to additional repairs and
expenses soon after assembly.
To aid in determining the reuse or replacement of any transmission part, considerations should
also be given to the unit’s history, mileage, application, etc.
