Upshift/Downshift
Illustration 43 g02160023Rotate the transmission shift lever to shift the transmission.The button on the Implement Controls Console may be used also to downshift the transmission.Note: In cold conditions the transmission will remain in second gear until the transmission oil is warm.Neutral Coast Inhibit
Coasting in neutral is not recommended at high speeds. This feature inhibits the operator from shifting the transmission from engaged to neutral at high vehicle speed. This feature does not interfere with normal machine operations at low vehicle speeds. The operator is provided with a warning that the transmission is locked out of neutral by flashing the gear display. The transmission will not shift into NEUTRAL if the machine speed is above 10 km/h (6.2 mph).Downshift Inhibit
This feature inhibits the operator from downshifting the transmission to a lower gear if the machine speed is too high and will cause an engine or transmission overspeed. A warning is shown that the transmission is locked out of the lower gear by flashing the actual gear on the display. The transmission will not downshift until ground speed conditions are met that will not allow an engine or transmission overspeed.Transmission Mode
Illustration 44 g02723042The following modes can be selected with the auto/manual transmission select button:Manual - Manual shifting mode. No indicators will be illuminated.Auto 2-4 - Autoshifting from gears 2 to 4. No auto downshift to first gear. Indicators B, C, D will be illuminated.Auto 1-4 - Autoshifting from gears 1 to 4. First gear downshift is based on torque required. Indicators A, B, C, D will be illuminated.Note: The auto/manual maximum gear will not exceed the maximum forward gear or the maximum reverse gear setting configured in the software. The machine can be electronically adjusted by a Cat dealer. With the steering wheel the maximum gear is also limited by the gear selected with the transmission shift lever.Manual Shift Control
When the auto/manual transmission mode is set to manual, the operator selects the travel gear. The gear is determined by the gear selected with the transmission shift lever and the down shift switch. The transmission sets the machine gear to the gear number selected on the transmission shift lever. The manual shifting will not exceed the maximum forward gear or the maximum reverse gear that is configured in the software.If the transmission shift lever is set to second gear and the downshift button is pressed, the gear will change to first gear. The shift only occurs if the conditions allow for a downshift at the time. The machine will remain in first gear until the transmission shift lever position increases or the machine direction is changed. The machine will shift to the gear equal to the gear selected by the transmission shift lever.When a change in direction occurs, the machine will shift to the gear selected on the transmission shift lever.The use of the left service brake pedal will also cause the transmission to downshift, if IBS has not been disabled in manual mode. If the transmission neutralizer has not been disabled, the
