DOUBLE H SHIFT MECHANISM

This shift mechanism divided into 5 adjacent gates.

There is spring loaded neutral position in both gates 3/4 and 5/6.
Different strengths of spring detent enable the driver to navigate effectively through the transmission shift pattern.

The pneumatic selection feature operates automatically when changing from gate 3/4 to 5/6 or back again.

Superimposed H Shift Mechanism

The shift mechanism divided into 3 adjacent gates. There is spring loaded Neutral position in gates 3/4 and 7/8.

Superimposed H Shift Mechanism

The pneumatic selection feature operated via the preselection switch on the shift lever when changing from gate 3/4 to gate 5/6 or back again.

Shifting of Transmission
ZF-Ecomid transmissions are synchromesh transmission. A synchromesh transmission is one which enables all gears to rotate in the same direction at synchronous speeds. This system makes process quicker and more reliable.

Shifting of Transmission
There isnt any problem of double declutching during up shifts. No intermediate throttle application and no double declutching when shifting down, even when driving downhill and in difficult situations.

Double H Shift Pattern

The double H shift pattern has what is known as neutral position in gates 3/4 (low range ) and 5/6 (High Range).

Double H Shift Pattern

To select gates 1/2 or 7/8, move the selector level against spring force in the relevant direction and hold against this force when selecting. The selector lever jumps back to the neutral when released from mid-position of the gate.

Double H Shift Pattern

Gate 3/4 and 5/6 are separated by a more powerful spring detent. During this gate change, an automatic changeover is performed in the range change group. The gate for reverse gear is protected by a pawl stop and requires more force to be applied.

Double H Shift Pattern

The different level of spring force provided good orientation within the shift pattern , i.e. the gates can be located with reliable certainty.

Superimposed H Shift Pattern

The superimposed H shift pattern has a spring loaded return to neutral (idling) in the 3/4 (low range change group) and 7/8 (high range 7 change group) gates.

Superimposed H Shift Pattern

To select gates 1/2 or 5/6, move the selector lever jumps against spring force in the relevant direction and hold against this spring force when selecting. The selector level jumps back to the neutral when released from the midposition of the gate.

Superimposed H Shift Pattern

The reverse gear is secured by means of a bolt detent and additional force has to be exerted to select it.

Gear Selection
Move the selector rapidly without too much force. This is important when the transmission oil is still cold. When selecting gear, hold the selector lever against the pressure point until the synchronizing process is complete and the gear has engaged properly.

Gear Selection
For Double H Change out of the gate into 5/6 gate or vice versa by briefly striking the shift lever with your palm of your hand and swiftly moving the shift lever into the gear required without exerting too much force.

Shift the basic transmission into 1st gear the range change group will by now have shifted into high ratio Engage the clutch Leave preselector switch in the selected range group

Bleeding the Transmission

The transmission oil heats up during travel. This results in formation of excess Why??? removed pressure which is continuously via a bleed valve
