Air System

Air System Operation

Pressurized air from the vehicle’s air system is used to shift the transmission low/high range and low/high split. The low/high
range and low/high split gearing and shift mechanisms are located in the auxiliary section of the transmission. The vehicle
operator controls these shifts with two separate switches on the shift knob (master control valve). The following components are
part of the air shift systems.

1. Roadranger Knob 5. Splitter Cylinder

2. Air Lines 6. Air Filter/Regulator
3. Slave Valve 7. Range Cylinder
4. Air Hoses

Air System

Shift Knob
The shift knob contains two switches.
A. The range selector lever on the front of the knob is moved down to select low range. When the range selector lever is
moved up, high range is selected.
B. The splitter button or the button on the side of the shift knob is moved rearward to select LO split and forward for HI split of
each lever position. When in LO range a mechanical interlock prevents moving the splitter button to HI.

Air Filter/Regulator
The filter / regulator assembly filters the vehicle supply air and regulates the pressure to 58 - 63 PSI (4.0 daN/cm2). Two holes
in the front face of the filter / regulator assembly supply air to the range cylinder cover. The filter element can be removed
by turning out the end cap.

Slave Valve
The slave valve controls the supply of air to the low and high range sides of the range shift cylinder. A small air line from the shift
knob (master control valve) provides a signal pressure to the slave valve.

Slave Valve Preselection System

This interlock mechanism prevents the slave valve from shifting when the transmission is engaged into gear. The air valve shaft is
moved towards the slave valve by the shift rails when the transmission is shifted into gear. A spring pushes the air valve shaft
back when the front section is shifted into a neutral position.

 Air System Troubleshooting

Use care when removing air lines or checking for air flow from disconnected lines. High pressure air
may exhaust suddenly. Wear safety glasses. Exhaust all air pressure from system before removing air

NOTE: During all testing, the vehicle air pressure must be greater than 90 PSI (620 kPa). If during testing the pressure falls
below 90 PSI (620 kPa), make sure the transmission is in neutral, start the engine and let the pressure build to governor cutoff.
After the pressure reaches the governor cutoff, continue testing. The pressure is critical if the vehicle is equipped with a vehicle
air system Pressure Protection Valve that would shut off the air supply to certain air circuits if the system pressure dropped
below a preset level.

IMPORTANT: Use the following air system troubleshooting procedures for part replacement only if the symptom can be
duplicated. If the problem is intermittent, parts that are not defective could be replaced.

Procedure 1: Symptom - Air Leak at Shift Knob

Normal Operation:
• A burst of air will be exhausted from the shift knob when moving the range selector from low to high. This is the air being
exhausted from the "P" air line.
• A burst of air will be exhausted from the shift knob when moving the splitter button rearward (shifting to low split). This is the
air being exhausted from the "SP" air line.

Possible Causes:
• Incorrectly attached air lines
• Internal leak in slave valve
• Internal leak at insert valve
• Internal leak at shift knob

Procedure 2: Symptom - Air Leak at Slave Valve

Normal Operation:
A momentary exhaust of air at the slave valve occurs during a range shift. The air from the low side of the range cylinder is
exhausted as air pressure is applied to the high range side. Likewise, air from the high range side of the piston is exhausted as air
pressure is applied to the low range side. The exhaust port is located at the slave valve to transmission mounting interface.

Possible Causes:
• Internal leak in range cylinder
• Internal leak in slave valve.

Procedure 5: Symptom - No or Slow Range Shift into Low

Normal Operation:
When the range selector on the shift knob is moved down to select low range, air pressure will flow through the shift knob to the "P"
port on the slave valve. The slave valve will direct air pressure through the low range 1/4" rubber hose to the range cylinder to shift
the range. There will be a brief burst of air at the slave valve as the high range side of the range piston exhausts. Likewise, when
high range is selected, the air pressure in the "P" will be exhausted at the shift knob. This will cause the slave valve to direct air to
the rear side of the range cylinder piston. The air pressure on the low range side will be exhausted at the slave valve.

Possible Causes:
• Incorrect air line hook up
• Insufficient air supply to transmission
• Damaged or defective air filter / regulator assembly
• Damaged or defective shift knob master valve
• Damaged or defective slave valve
• Damaged or defective range cylinder

Procedure 6: Symptom - No or Slow Range Shift into High

Normal Operation:
When the range selector on the shift knob is moved down to select low range, air pressure will flow through the shift knob to the ’P"
port on the slave valve. The slave valve will direct air pressure through the low range 1/4" rubber supply hose to the range cylinder
to shift the range. There will be a brief burst of air at the slave valve as the high range side of the range piston exhausts.
Likewise, when high range is selected, the air pressure in the "P" will be exhausted at the shift knob. This will cause the slave valve
to direct air to the rear side of the range cylinder piston. The air pressure on the low range side will be exhausted at the slave valve.

Possible Causes:
• Incorrect air line hook up
• Insufficient air supply to transmission

Procedure 7: Symptom - No or Slow Split Shift

Normal Operation:
When the splitter button is moved forward to select splitter, air pressure is supplied through the "SP" air line to the insert valve signal
port. This air pressure causes the insert valve to exhaust the air pressure on the rear of the splitter piston and the piston moves
rearward. A burst of air occurs at the splitter cylinder exhaust port as this air is exhausted from the piston back side. A burst of air
also occurs at the shift knob when the splitter button is moved rearward. This is the signal air being exhausted out of the "SP" line.

Possible Causes:
• Incorrect air line hook up
• Insufficient air supply to transmission

Procedure 8: Symptom - Range Shifts with Shift Lever in Gear

Normal Operation:
Range shift should only occur when the shift lever is in neutral. The range selector can be moved up or down while the shift lever is
in a gear position, but the shift will not occur until the shift lever is moved to neutral.

Possible Causes:
• Worn or missing actuating pin or air valve shaft.
• Worn shift rail.
Procedure:
If the range has been confirmed to shift with the shift lever in gear, unbolt the slave valve from the side of the transmission. Confirm
that the actuating pin is present and that it is the proper P/N for the corresponding slave valve. If correct, remove the shift bar
housing assembly and check for a worn or damaged air valve shaft or worn shift rails. Replace necessary parts.

 Timing

Timing Procedures
It is essential that both countershaft assemblies of the front and auxiliary sections are "timed." This assures proper tooth contact
is made between mainshaft gears seeking to center on the mainshaft during torque transfer and mating countershaft gears
that distribute the load evenly. If not properly timed, serious damage to the transmission is likely to result from unequal tooth
contact causing the mainshaft gears to climb out of equilibrium.
Timing is a simple procedure of marking the appropriate teeth of a gear set prior to installation and placing them in proper mesh
while in the transmission. In the front section, it is necessary to time only the drive gear set. And depending on the model, only
the LO range, deep reduction, or splitter gear set is timed in the auxiliary section.

Front Section

Marking countershaft drive gear teeth.

1. Prior to placing each countershaft assembly into the

case, clearly mark the tooth located directly over the
drive gear keyway as shown. This tooth is stamped
with an "O" to aid identification.

Marking main drive gear teeth.

1. Mark any two adjacent teeth on the main drive gear.

2. Mark the two adjacent teeth located directly opposite
the first set marked on the main drive gear. As shown to
the left, there should be an equal number of unmarked
gear teeth on each side between the marked sets.

NOTE: Ideally, the shift arm should be adjusted 90 to

the selection lever as described, but in some chassis
configurations it may be necessary to index the shift
arm in the vertical position. Indexing the shift lever
is done to prevent shift lever jump out. This type of
adjustment will cause an unequal amount of gear shift

Neutral Switch Operation and Testing

Operation
The neutral switch is a normally closed switch. An electrical current flows through it when the transmission shifter is in the neutral
position. When the transmission shifter is in gear, the switch is open and no current flows through it. Likewise, the switch is open
when the ball is depressed. The switch is actuated by the air valve shaft.

To Test

1. Disconnect the wiring from the switch.

2. Connect an ohm meter to check for continuity or a
small reading.
3. Place the transmission shift lever in the neutral position.
The ohm meter should register continuity or a small
reading. If it does, go to the next step. If it does not,
remove the switch and replace it.
4. Shift the transmission into all gear positions. The ohm
meter should read open or infinity. If it does not, remove
the switch. Then, depress the switch ball and check
for continuity. The ohm meter should read open or
infinity when the ball is depressed.
5. Look into the neutral switch hole and verify that the
air valve shaft moves as the transmission is shifted
from neutral into gear.
If it does, replace the switch.
If not, remove the shift bar housing and check the air
valve shaft and shift rails for excessive wear. Also, check
the slave valve plunger and spring for free movement.

Reverse Switch Operation and Testing

Operation
The reverse switch is a normally open ball switch. When the transmission is shifted into reverse, a ramp on the reverse yoke bar
contacts and raises a pin. The pin depresses the ball on the switch, which closes the switch contact, allowing current to flow
through the switch and light up the vehicle’s backup lights.

To Test

1. Disconnect the wiring from the switch.

2. Connect an ohm meter to check for continuity.
3. Place the transmission shift lever in any position except
reverse. If the switch is working properly, the ohm meter
should read open or infinity. If it is not, remove the switch
and recheck it for continuity. Replace it as necessary.
4. Place the transmission shift lever in the reverse position.
If the switch is working properly, the ohm meter should
register continuity, or a small reading. If it does not,
remove the switch and recheck it for continuity. Replace
it as necessary. Also, check for sticking or excessive
wear of the reverse pin.
