    Manual Transmission P02.02

    500 — General Information


    The transmission must efficiently transfer the engine’s power, in terms of torque, to the vehicle’s drive wheels.
    Torque is the twisting force delivered by the engine’s flywheel. The transmission’s gear ratio increases or de-
    creases torque depending 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 vehicle’s requirements, the transmission must have ratios low enough to start the vehicle moving,
    maintain movement up grades, and keep the engine operating in its peak efficiency range. The transmission
    must also provide an easy method for gear selection.
    Refer to the transmission vendor for specific troubleshooting and service information. Look for the serial tag on
    the transmission to identify which specific model transmission you have, then use this model number to refer-
    ence the appropriate troubleshooting and service information. See Fig. 1.

    Refer to the transmission vendor’s literature for specific troubleshooting and service information. This information
    can be viewed or downloaded from the internet, or paper manuals can be ordered from the vendor.

    Possible Causes / General Complaints


    Gear Jumpout— Jumpout usually occurs with the splitter gear set. If torque is not sufficiently broken during
    splitter shifts, the sliding clutch gear may not have enough time to complete the shift before torque is reap-
    plied 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.
    Gear Slipout— When a sliding clutch is moved to engage with a main shaft gear, the mating teeth must be par-
    allel. Tapered or worn clutching teeth will try to “walk” apart as the gears rotate.
    Hard Shifting— Shift linkage is a common cause of hard shifting complaints. Another common cause is the
    splines of a sliding clutch gear binding on the main shaft as a result of a twisted main shaft key, bent shift
    yoke, or bowed main shaft key. Also, yoke bars binding in the bar housing as a result of cracked housing,

    over-torqued shift block lock-screw, sprung yoke bar, or swelled areas of the yoke bar may cause hard shift-
    ing.
    Heat— Excessive heat may be caused by improper lubrication, operating consistently under 20 mph, high en-
    gine rpm, high horsepower, overdrive operation, or coasting downhill with the clutch depressed.
    Transmission Noise, Growling— A growling noise may be audible if there is an error in tooth spacing, which
    can be caused by improper timing of the transmission during reassembly, or improper timing due to gear
    turning on the countershaft.
    Transmission Noise, High Pitched Whine or Squeal— High-pitched whining or squealing can be caused by
    normal gear wear, including gear tooth pitting from excessive use (in advanced deterioration, a howl will re-
    sult), mismatched gear sets (identifiable by an uneven wear pattern on the face of the gear teeth), or
    pinched bearings (insufficient axial or radial clearance).
    Transmission Noise, Knocking, or Thudding— Bumps or swells are present on gear teeth. Generally this
    noise is more predominant when the gear is loaded; thus, the problem can be located as the noise occurs in
    a specific gear position. Bumps or swells are caused by improper handling of gears before or during assem-
    bly. Also, a gear cracked or broken by shock loading or by pressing on the shaft during installation will
    produce this sound at low speeds (at high speeds a howl may be audible). Bearing noise comes in at low
    shaft speeds in any position. It is caused by bearings with damaged balls or rollers, or with pitted and
    spalled raceways.
    Vibration— Although the effects of vibration will show up in the transmission, vibration usually originates some-
    where else in the drivetrain. Vibration can usually be felt or heard by the driver; however, in some cases,
    transmission damage caused by vibration will occur without the driver’s knowledge.

    Diagnostic Tests
    Refer to vendor literature for diagnostic tests.
