STABILIZER GP-BACKHOE 3746876 - Caterpillar

shift management reduces torque spikes in the transmission driveline. Directional shift management reduces the energy spikes of the transmission clutch. The transmission driveline is designed to with stand the torque converter stall. The torque converter stall is the maximum amount of torque that is sent to the transmission by the torque converter.If the engine speed is above 1350 rpm and the operator shifts into the NEUTRAL position, through the NEUTRAL position, or out of the NEUTRAL position, spikes will be generated in the torque converter. The pressure of the spikes is greater than the levels of the torque converter stall. The Power Train ECM stops the pressure spikes by delaying the shift. The Power Train ECM then signals the Engine Electronic Control Module (Engine ECM) for a reduction of fuel and for a lowering of the engine speed. The Power Train ECM then shifts to the requested gear. This reduces the stress on the driveline. This also prevents wear on the transmission and premature failures of the final drive or of the differential.Note: The event will be recorded as an improper shift.
