The power shuttle is controlled by two proportional
solenoid valves operated by a lever located to the left
under the steering wheel and managed by the tractor
electronic system.

Dynashift input unit assembly


It allows to add four input gear ratios to the main unit,
bringing to 32 the maximum number of gears for a
direction of travel. This function is performed by a
hydraulic control linked to two epicyclic gear trains and
two hydraulic clutches.

Gearbox input gear train


The input gear train consists of two meshed pinions:
- one drive pinion housed to the rear of the input unit
of the power shuttle
- the other, a driven pinion secured to the gearbox
mainshaft by splines.
The purpose of the gear train is to send the movement
from the engine to the transmission via the power
shuttle and Dynashift hydraulic device.

gear ratios. The mainshaft and the layshaft are carried
by tapered roller bearings. The mainshaft bearing cups
are flanged, thus ensuring optimised support against
the housing. The output shaft is fitted on two taper
roller bearings and one needle bearing. All pinions have
helical teeth and are continuously meshed. The lubri-
cating oil for the lower shaftline comes from the front
unit and flows via a channel drilled in the centre of the
output shaft and the mainshaft. Radial drilled holes
send the oil to the various lubrication points of the
pinions, bearings, bushes and synchronizers.
The splines of the Hare / Tortoise synchro hub are lubri-
cated via a radial hole drilled in the output shaft.
The lubrication of the layshaft is ensured by the oil
circulating between it and the PTO shaft. This oil lubri-
cates the end taper roller bearings and the needle
bearing (62). Radial grooves in driven pinions transfer
the oil flow between each pinion.
To ensure correct operation according to the engine
torque sent to the transmission, the bearings are fitted
preloaded: mainshaft, or with clearance: layshaft. The
output shaft may be set either with a slight clearance
or a slight preload.

C . Operation
Remark
On the gearboxes, the gear synchronisers (1st - 2nd
and 3rd - 4th) and the Hare / Tortoise synchronizer are
double cone type.

Synchronizers (double cone) (Fig. 2)


Construction
- The hub of the synchronizer rotates ring G and cone
H by means of three pads I.
- The synchronizer B brake is joined by catches to
coupling flange C which is secured to the pinion by
splines.

Operation
- Axial movement of slider A presses on ring G, which
moves synchronizer B brake towards cone H by
means of balls D and pressure parts E to then drive
coupling flange C and the relevant drive pinion.

Locking position
Axial movement of slider A presses synchronizer B
brake against the flange friction cone C by means of
balls D and pressure parts E. The speed difference
existing between parts to couple generates a radial
rotation limited by pressure parts E, which in turn
creates a pressure on the chamfered teeth of synchro-
nizer B brake against slider A, impeding any relative
movement of it. The pressure applied by slider A and
the angular offset of synchronizer B brake generate
axial pressure between the friction cones of synchro-
nizer B brake and flange C by means of the tooth
chamfers. This axial pressure generates the synchro-
nism by gradually reducing the difference in speed of
the parts to couple. When synchronized, the remaining
pressure applied by slider A against synchronizer B
brake makes it return backwards until the teeth of
slider A are in front of the troughs of the synchronizer
B brake teeth. At this moment, the resistance (until
now preventing the movement of slider A when gears
are shifted) is overridden and slider A can then noise-
lessly mesh in the teeth of flange C of the pinion to
engage. The rigid connection between the shaft and
the pinion is made and the gear is engaged. If, during
gear shifting, the two parts are positioned teeth
against teeth, the chamfers on tooth flanks offset the
gear to engage until each tooth is in front of a trough.

Fig. 2

Massey Ferguson 6400 - Edition 4.a 5A10.9


General - GBA20 operation

Neutral position
Slider A is in the middle position. Balls D are pushed in
the V grooves of slider A by pressure springs F. Pinions
can turn freely on the shaft. In this neutral position,
slider A is locked by three balls D held in place by
springs F.

Low range (Tortoise)


Gear engagement is obtained by moving one of the
synchronizer (11) or (23) sliders to join, in rotation,
mainshaft (69) with one of the idle-mounted pinions.
No matter what gear is selected, the drive is trans-
mitted to the layshaft (54). Output shaft (44) drive is
transmitted via the machined teeth of the layshaft
constantly meshed with idle pinion (36) secured to the
output shaft by moving the synchronizer (31) slider
backwards.

High range (Hare)


This range is selected by moving the synchronizer (31)
slider forward, which directly meshes the driven pinion
(29) and the output shaft. Consequently, in 3rd gear
Hare, the layshaft (54) is inoperative. The other gears
are obtained by moving the sliders of synchronizers
(11) or (23) as with the Tortoise range. Drive is trans-
mitted to the output shaft (44) by driven pinions (29)
(55).

General - GBA20 operation

Overhaul (double cone)


- If synchronizers (11) (23) (31) are disassembled,
check the wear on synchronizer B brakes.
- Stack coupling flange C, cone H, synchronizer B
brake and ring G.
- Correctly position brake B by turning it backwards
and forwards several times and by manually pushing
it.
- Using a set of laminated shims, measure dimension
X (Fig. 3) at three equidistant points. Take the
average of the three readings.

Remark
Value of dimension X (Fig. 3)
- On a new synchronizer, dimension X must be at least
1.6 mm.
- After operation, and if this dimension is less than or
equal to 0.60 - 0.80 mm, replace the synchronizer B
brake.
- Check dimension X again, using the same method.
- If dimension X remains incorrect, also replace ring G
and cone H or, if necessary, the complete synchro-
nizer.

GBA20 input unit

A . General
The input unit with power shuttle is in the form of an
interchangeable module on which a power shuttle is
assembled. It is fitted at the gearbox input.

It is made of two separate parts: Powershuttle (see


section 5) and Dynashift.

The input unit is fed with movement from the power


shuttle and transmits it to the transmission by means
of a drive pinion located in the rear compartment of the
unit.

Dynashift
The Dynashift is used to electrohydraulically control
four powershift ratios using a lever located to the left
under the steering wheel.

The Dynashift function is performed by two epicyclic


gear trains linked to two hydraulic clutches. For opera-
tion, see section 5.

Construction
The forward and reverse clutches of the power shuttle
are of different design.

GBA20 Power shuttle

The pipes (31) connecting the pump housing (1) and


the cover (38) lubricate the reverse clutch braking
device.

The shims (3) located between the closing spacer (4)


and the fixed unit (1) provide end play for the forward
clutch.

Drive from the power shuttle is transmitted to a


mechanical unit located in the rear compartment of the
input box.

This unit comprises:


- a secondary shaft (1) and helical pinion (2) machined
in one piece (Fig. 1).

The shaft is fitted on two taper roller bearings "R", and


is carried by two bearings of the input unit.

The shims (3) (Fig. 1) fitted between the cover and the
unit are used to preload the bearings.

Explanation of the ratios Legend


Ratio A: 1/1.620 reduction (Fig. 3) Lubrication
The two pistons (22) and (37) are simultaneously pres- 17 bar low pressure
surized by the 17 bar circuit.
The secondary ring gear (34) is locked onto the housing Transmission of movement to the gearbox
by means of the front brake.
The secondary sun gear (61) is locked onto the housing
by the rear brake. Pilot flow to the primary sun gear (64)
Consequently, the secondary epicyclic gear train is
locked.
The primary sun gear (64) is locked.

The reduction ratio is only defined by the primary


epicyclic gear train. This is a conventional type of kine-
matics: movement input is by the ring gear and output
is by the planet carrier, the sun gear remaining still.

Ratio B: 1/1.386 reduction (Fig. 4) Legend


The front piston (22) is pressurized. Lubrication
Front brake locks the secondary ring gear (34) onto the
17 bar low pressure
housing.
Rear piston (37) is not under pressure.
The secondary sun gear (61) rotates with the Transmission of movement to the gearbox
secondary shaft (53) (clutch clamped).
The secondary planet carrier (39) rotates at a low Pilot flow to the primary sun gear (64)
speed, driving the primary sun gear (64).
The rotational speed of the primary planet carrier (28)
corresponds to the speed difference between the
primary ring gear (31) and the primary sun gear (64).
The reduction effect is therefore minor.

The rear piston (37) is pressurized. Lubrication
The rear brake locks the secondary sun gear (61) onto

The front piston (22) is not pressurized.
The secondary ring gear (34) rotates with the primary Transmission of movement to the gearbox

secondary planet carrier (39). Pilot flow to the primary sun gear (64)
The primary sun gear (64) is driven by the secondary
planet carrier (39) at a greater speed than in ratio B.
Therefore, the reduction ratio is lower.

GBA20 Selector rails

Adjusting the clearance of the Hare /


Tortoise fork pads and the synchromesh
sliding coupler
Principle
- The positioning of fork (20) is obtained by acting
upon the difference between the distance between
the centre lines of the tapped holes "Y" and the
centre lines of the receiving indents "Z" on piston
(13).
- A different fork movement is obtained by acting
either on the front screw or on the rear screw
according to the adjustment required (Fig. 19).

72. Position the control piston (13) and the sliding


coupler "C" in the high range (Hare) (Fig. 21).
73. Maintain the sliding coupler manually against Fig. 19
pinion "L" of the high range (Fig. 21).
74. Adjust the position of the fork (20) using the two
adjusting screws (19) previously cleaned in solvent
and lightly smeared with Loctite 221, in order to
obtain a clearance of J1 = 0.3 mm between the
rear face of the pad and the sliding coupler (Fig. 20
- Fig. 21).
Note: For this adjustment, use the locally made
tool (see § E).

Fig. 20

Fig. 21

5A15.16 Challenger MT500B - Edition 4.a


GBA20 Selector rails

75. Position the control piston (13) and the sliding


coupler "C" in the low range (Tortoise) (Fig. 22).
76. Check that there is a clearance of J2 = 0.3 mm
minimum (this value is determined by the clear-
ance J1) between the pad and the sliding coupler
when the latter rests against the pinion "T" of the
low range (Fig. 22).
Alternatively and progressively tighten the screws
(19) to a torque of 25 - 35 Nm taking care not to
modify the adjustment.
Note: In the Tortoise position, if face "X" of the
fork pad (20) is driven against the sliding
coupler "C" (Fig. 21), increase clearance J1 (Fig.
21).
77. Check for the correct operation of the fork.

Fig. 22

Challenger MT500B - Edition 4.a 5A15.17


GBA20 Selector rails

Adjusting the the Hare / Tortoise fork stop


Principle
- locking is adjusted by an adjustable stop (18) located
on the Hare / Tortoise fork. This adjustment is
obtained using a tool (see § D) whose role consists
of conveying to the stop the positioning of the
indexing pin, mounted on the selector cover.
- The aim of this adjustment is to provide safety to the
Hare / Tortoise mechanism, during operation, by
mechanically immobilising the fork in the Hare or
Tortoise position.

Reminder
- It is essential to adjust the clearance between the
Hare / Tortoise fork pads and the synchromesh
sliding coupler, before adjusting the stop (18).
Fig. 23
On the cover (Fig. 25)
78. Place the indexing pin (35) in the high range (Hare).
79. Engage 3rd gear.
80. Place the tool on the selector cover (Fig. 23).

Special points
81. It is essential to equally share the clearance
between the indexing pin and the plunger (31) (Fig.
25, detail A).
82. Using the tool, measure dimension X according to
Fig. 23 and Fig. 25.

On the gearbox (Fig. 25)


83. Engage 3rd gear. Using the tool, set dimension X
to the gearbox.
84. Apply manual pressure on the fork towards the
Hare range.
Fig. 24
85. Adjust the stop (18) (Fig. 24 - Fig. 25) by placing it
in contact with the tool.
86. Lightly smear the threads of screw (17) with
Loctite 242 or equivalent and tighten it to a torque
of 40 - 50 Nm.

GBA20 Layshaft

A . General
The layshaft and its pinions form the upper transmis-
sion line of the gearbox. The shaft (54) holds the 1st
(60), 2nd (59), 3rd (55) and 4th (56) driven pinions. The
rear teeth are constantly meshed with the Tortoise
pinion.

The front end of the shaft is supported by the taper


roller bearing (63) (64) at the rear of the input unit and
by the bearing (52) (53) fitted in the rear bearing of the
unit.

The pinions (56) (60) are held in position by the spacer


(57) and the pinions (55) (56) by the spacer (82). The
axial clearance of the pinions is obtained by inserting
shim(s) (58) between the pinions (59) (60).

Operation (Fig. 6)
Coupler (8) is secured by splines on the link shaft (21). 4 8 21
Movement of lever A to Snail position moves the
coupler (8) forwards and engages it with planet carrier
(4) via its external teeth. The link shaft speed (21) is
1/14 that of the gearbox output shaft (44).
When coupler (8) is engaged in the output planet
carrier (4), the needle roller bearing (1) allows link shaft
(21) to turn at a different speed to that of the output
shaft (44) (Fig. 6). 44

When the super creeper range is selected, the Snail


indicator light on the instrument panel comes on. The
electrical signal corresponding to selection of the
super creeper range is transmitted via switch C, which
is fitted on the control unit (Fig. 7). 1

In normal gears, the gearbox output shaft (44) is


engaged with the link shaft (21) when coupler (8) is
moved backwards, thus ensuring direct drive (Fig. 8).

B . Operation
Hare / Tortoise synchromesh (69) (double
cone) (Fig. 2)
NOTA: On gearboxes with PowerShuttle, all gears are
synchronised including the Hare / Tortoise function.
The gear synchromeshes are all double cone types.

Locking position
Axial displacement of sliding coupler A provides a
thrust against ring K, which in turn presses against
synchroniser brake B, pushing it towards cone J
through the action of balls D, springs F and pressure
system E.
When the corresponding pinions are at the required
speed, the sliding coupler meshes with the coupling
flange C of the combined gear.
The operating principle is identical for 1st - 2nd gear
synchromesh (16) and 3rd - 4th gear synchromesh
(27).

Advantages of the double cone synchromesh


- Increased reliability
- Increased stress strength

GBA10 - Input unit

A . General
The GBA10 input unit is fitted at front of the gearbox.
It is an interchangeable module upon which a reverse
shuttle is fitted which can transmit power to the
forward and reverse gear ratios.
It is made of two separate parts:
- the PowerShuttle (see section 5) ;
- Dynashift.

Dynashift
The input unit is used to electrohydraulically control
four powershift ratios using a lever located to the left
under the steering wheel.
It is located between the PowerShuttle and the driving
pinion mounted in the rear housing.
The Dynashift function is performed by two epicyclic
gear trains linked to two hydraulic clutches.
For operation, see section 5.

When the previously mentioned lever is moved from

Explanation of the ratios Legend


Ratio A: 1/1.620 reduction (Fig. 3) Lubrication
- The two pistons (22) (37) are simultaneously under 17 bar low pressure
pressure from the 17 bar circuit. Transmission of movement to the
- The secondary ring gear (34) is locked onto the gearbox
housing by means of the front brake.
- The secondary sun gear (61) is locked onto the
housing by the rear brake.
- Consequently:
- the secondary epicyclic gear train is locked;
- the primary sun gear (64) is locked;
- the reduction ratio is only set by the primary epicy-
clic gear train.
- This is standard kinematics, movement comes in via
the ring gear and exits via the planet carrier; the sun
gear does not move.

Fig. 3

Massey Ferguson 6400 - Issue 4.a 5B13.9


GBA10 - Dynashift

Ratio B: 1/1.386 reduction (Fig. 4) Legend


- The front piston (22) is pressurized. Lubrication
- Front brake locks the secondary ring gear (34) onto 17 bar low pressure
the housing.
- Rear piston (37) is not under pressure.
Transmission of movement to the gearbox
- The secondary sun gear (61) rotates with the
secondary shaft (53) (clutch engaged).
- The secondary planet carrier (39) rotates at a low Pilot flow to the primary sun gear (64)
speed, driving the primary sun gear (64).
- The rotational speed of the primary planet carrier (28)
corresponds to the speed difference between the
primary ring gear (31) and the primary sun gear (64).
- The reduction effect is therefore minor.

Fig. 4

5B13.10 Massey Ferguson 6400 - Issue 4.a


GBA10 - Dynashift

Ratio C: 1/1.1704 reduction (Fig. 5) Legend


- The rear piston (37) is pressurized. Lubrication
- The rear brake locks the secondary sun gear (61) 17 bar low pressure
onto the housing.
- The front piston (22) is not under pressure.
Transmission of movement to the gearbox
- The secondary ring gear (34) rotates with the primary
shaft (7) thereby transmitting a higher speed to the
secondary planet carrier (39). Pilot flow to the primary sun gear (64)
- The primary sun gear (64) is driven by the secondary
planet carrier (39) at a higher speed than in ratio B.
- The reduction is therefore lower.

Fig. 5

Massey Ferguson 6400 - Issue 4.a 5B13.11


GBA10 - Dynashift

Ratio D: Ratio 1/1 (Fig. 6)


- The two pistons are not under pressure. The two
clutches are therefore clamped.
- The secondary ring gear (34) rotates with the primary
shaft (7).
- The secondary sun gear (61) is locked on the
secondary shaft (53) thereby mechanically locking
the entire system.
- Consequently, the ratio is 1:1 (direct drive).

GBA10 - Selector cover

A . General
The selector cover is located to the right-hand side of
the gearbox and is composed of the following main
parts:
- a toggle (34);
- a neutral position switch (20).

The single lever, fitted on the cover, controls the gear


shifting for ratios 1 to 4. A hydraulic device provides
the Hare / Tortoise function.

The mechanical locking of the 1st - 2nd / 3rd - 4th


selector rails and the Hare / Tortoise range is carried
out by studs placed between the gear selector rails
and the range selector rail located at the rear part of the
gearbox (see chapter 5).

Press once on the pulse button located on the


right-hand gear lever handle to shift between Hare and
Tortoise range, when the gear lever is in neutral posi-
tion.

NOTA: A cell C, TR19 connector (Fig. 3) linked to a


buzzer, informs the user when a gear is engaged and
the parking brake is on.

B . Identification and functions of


components
Toggle (34) 2
The toggle runs free on pin A (Fig. 3) and pivots with it
by means of a flat. It controls the Neutral position of pin
A (gear shift lever) by means of switch (20) (Fig. 1).
3
Switch (20)
Controlled by the toggle, its function is to supply infor-
mation to the electronic system of the tractor when
the gear lever is in the Neutral position.

1
General operation of the gear shift lever MA-05-05141A

NOTA: By moving the gear shift lever (2) to the left of Fig. 4
the neutral zone, the cable (1) (Fig. 4) allows access to
the track 1 -2. By releasing the lever, it automatically
returns to the intermediate position of track 3 -4.
By moving the lever (2) towards the front or back of the
track concerned, the cable (3) engages the requested
gear.
1
Selecting 1st - 2nd gear ratio
The gear shift lever (2) pushes the lever L with the
cable (1) and engages finger (9) in the 1st - 2nd fork
(Fig. 3).
The first gear ratio is obtained by moving the lever L to
the left and the second ratio by moving it to the right
with the cable (3) (Fig. 5). Simultaneously the toggle
(34) pivots with pin A and leaves the Neutral position 3
(Fig. 3).
MA-05-06002B

L
Selecting 3rd - 4th gear ratio
Fig. 5
In this configuration, the finger (9) integral with pin A is
engaged in 3rd - 4th gear fork.
The third gear ratio is obtained by moving the lever
L to the left and the fourth gear ratio by moving it to the
right with the cable (3) (Fig. 5).
As with the previous ratios the toggle is moved by rota-
tion of pin A.

Safety latch (see chapter 5)


A locking system located on the rear face of the
gearbox, at the end of the selector rails, prohibits the
accidental engagement of a non selected gear.

Selecting the Hare / Tortoise range is carried out in the


Neutral position by pressing the pulse button incorpo-
rated in the gear shift lever handle.

Hare position (Fig. 6)


The solenoid valve (36) mounted on the selector cover
(7) is closed and causes a drop in pressure in chamber
B. The constant pressure (17 bar) in chamber A thrusts
on the annular face of piston (3) which moves forward
and pushes the fork F1 to the Hare position via the
selector S.
The oil contained in chamber B returns to the housing
via the solenoid valve.

Tortoise position (Fig. 6)


A fresh activation of the pulse button (Fig. 3) causes
the opening of the solenoid valve (36) (Fig. 6).
The 17 bar pressure enters chamber B. The pressure
acting on the larger piston diameter is higher than that
on the annular face of the piston and forces it to return,
moving selector S and fork F1 into the Tortoise posi-
tion. The oil contained in chamber A returns to the
17 bar circuit.

Safety latch (see chapter 5)


The Hare / Tortoise selector rail is similarly locked in
each of its positions (Hare or Tortoise) in the 1st to 4th
gear ratios, by the same previously described system.

GBA10 - Selector rails

A . General
The gear selector rails are located to the right of the 2
gearbox and behind the control cover.

The gear selector mechanism comprises the following


selector rails for:
5
- 1st - 2nd gear
- Hare / Tortoise (Hi-Lo)
- 3rd - 4th gear

Each selector rail supports its own fork and respective


selector and moves longitudinally in end-bearings.
4
The front bearing fixed on the rear part of the input unit
is removable and serves as a support for the selector
rails.

The forks are adjustable, thus ensuring a functional


clearance between the pads and the synchromesh 3
sliding coupler.

Safety locking of the gearbox selector


mechanism (Fig. 1) 1
The system comprises two cylindrical locks of
different lengths.
- short locking pin: selector rail 1st - 2nd
- long locking pin: selector rail 3rd - 4th
Their ends are spherical and one of them has an MA-05-02018A
extended pin.
Each selector rail is machined so as to accommodate Fig. 1
and allow the locks to be moved.

Operating principle
Example: Ratio 1 engaged - Hare range
When the selector rail is moved to select 1st gear, it
forces its lock to move out of its lodging place and to
lock the range selector rail in the "Hare" position. At the
same time, this lock pushes another lock that in turn
locks the 3rd - 4th selector rail, thus prohibiting any
undue movement that might block the gearbox.
The same reasoning applies to the Tortoise range and
other gear ratios.

GBA10 - Output shaft

A . General
The output shaft fitted to GBA10 gearboxes with
PowerShuttle, transmits the drive supplied by the
different gears to the drive pinion, via a coupling sleeve
or a coupler (option with the creeper unit).

It is fitted on the lower transmission line at the rear of


the gearbox.

The output shaft is supported by two taper roller bear-


ings; the first is centred in the bore of the mainshaft
and the second in the rear bearing.

The shaft supports:


- the 3rd Hare pinion (35) fitted on two taper roller
bearings and comprising bearing cups and cones (33)
(34) and (36) (37);
- the Hare / Tortoise double cone synchromesh
assembly (69);
- the Tortoise pinion (40) which is free mounted on the
shaft (47).

A seal ring (28) fitted on washer (31) maintains lubri-


cating pressure in the channel. The calibrated port in
washer (31) allows for decompression in the cavity
located behind the bearing cone (23). A channel drilled
in the hub lubricates the double cone of the
syncromesh (69).

The pre-loading of bearings (22) (23), (33) (34), (36) (37)


and (43) (44) is carried out by means of shim(s) (45)
placed behind the bearing cup (44).

A . General
The mainshaft (7) fitted to GBA10 gearboxes with a
PowerShuttle rotates on two taper roller bearings (9)
(10) and (20) (21) lying in the two lower bearing blocks
of the main gearbox. The drive pinion (1), fitted at the
front, is integral with the shaft via splines. It is held by 22
washer (2) and nut (3).
Between the two lower bearing blocks, the shaft holds
the 2nd (13) and 1st (19) driving pinions that run free,
as well as the 1st-2nd gear synchromesh assembly,
the hub of which is splined to the shaft. At the rear the
shaft holds the 4th gear driving pinion (24) that runs
free and the 3rd-4th gear synchromesh assembly.
MA-05-05153A
The synchromesh gears are all double cone types.
The rear bore receives bearing cup (22) of the output
shaft taper roller bearing (Fig. 1). Fig. 1
The lubrication of the 1st gear pinion and 2nd gear ring
is ensured by a central channel with radial ports.
The pre-loading of bearings is adjusted by means of
shim(s) (11) placed behind bearing cup (10).

5B18.2 Massey Ferguson 6400 - Issue 4.a


GBA20 - Layshaft

A . General
The layshaft and its pinions form the upper transmis-
sion line of the GBA10 gearbox with PowerShuttle.
Shaft (51) bears, in this order, the driven pinions of 2nd
gear (64), 1st gear (61), 4th gear (59) and 3rd gear (57).
These pinions are splined to the shaft and separated by
spacers (62) (60) and (58). Axial clearance of the gear
train is provided by one or more shims (63). The rear
teeth of the layshaft (51) continuously engage the
Tortoise pinion mounted on the output shaft. The front
of the shaft is supported by a roller bearing fitted to the
rear of the input unit. Its rear end is supported by two
taper roller bearings (49) (50) and (54) (55).
The adjustment of these bearings is of the "Semi Set
Right" type. It is carried out by placing a shim (53)
between the bearing cones (50) (54) in order to obtain
a clearance of a predetermined value between the
cups (49) (55) (see § G).
Shim (53) has several radial ports allowing for lubrica-
tion of bearings (49) (50) and (54) (55).
The friction ring (76) is smeared with Loctite and fitted
into the rear layshaft bore (Fig. 1). It is in contact with
a sleeve in front of the hydraulic pump drive pinion (see
chapter 9).

G . Shimming the bearings


IMPORTANT: Bearings must be shimmed before refit- 50 53 54
ting the layshaft. If the removed bearings are reusable,
extract the cups (49) (55) from the gearbox housing
and pair them with their respective cones.

Principle (Fig. 8)
The shimming principle consists in defining the thick-
ness of the shim (53) to be fitted between the bearing
cones (50) (54) under load (500 N) in order to obtain a
distance X of 8.60 to 8.68 mm between cups (49) (55)
49 55
mounted free (outside housing).

40. Fit bearing cones (50) (54) and cups (49) (55)
without shim (53) on service tool,
ref. 3378263M11 (see § H). Tighten the tool in a
vertical position in a vice.
41. Compress the spring until the shoulder of the
special screw is in contact with the top of the tool.
NOTE: The spring characteristics and the length of
the screw shoulder provide the correct load to
apply to the bearings.
42. Turn the tool cylinder C several times, in order to
correctly seat the cones in the bearing cups.

Shimming (Fig. 9)
Measure the distance between the bearing
cones (50) (54)
43. Position the pressure plate of the tool on the face
of the bearing cone (54).
Place the dial gauge feeler pin on the end of the
pressure plate.
44. On the dial gauge:
- set the long pointer to zero;
- note the position of the short pointer.
45. Turn the pressure plate half a turn while main-
taining it on the face of the cone (50).
Immobilise the rod by moderately tightening the
stop screw manually.
46. Depending on the measurement noted on the dial
gauge, select the corresponding shim (53) to be
definitively fitted between the bearing cones (50)
(54).
47. Carry out the remaining operations (see § D and E).

5B19.2 Massey Ferguson 6400 - Issue 4.a


GBA10 - Creeper unit

A . General
The creeper unit is made up by two parts:
- a gear reducer unit
- a cable control

Gear reducer unit


The creeper reducer unit (24), optionally fitted to
GBA10 gearboxes, consists of a simple kinematics
epicyclic gear train including a planet gear and ring gear
assembly, housed at the rear of the gearbox (Fig. 1).

Control Fig. 1
The link fitted to the front right-hand side of the inter-
mediate housing operates the control fork of the gear
reducer unit via a cable linked to a lever located in the
tractor cab.
IMPORTANT: The coupler can only be activated when
the tractor is stopped.

Massey Ferguson 6400 - Issue 4.a 5B19.3


GBA10 - Creeper unit

B . Operation
The coupler (29) is secured by splines to the drive
pinion (9) (Fig. 2, Fig. 3). When the control lever is
moved to the Snail position the coupler is moved back-
wards and locked to the planet carrier (20) via coupler
ring (22) (Fig. 2, Fig. 3).

The rotational speed of the drive pinion is one quarter


of that of the output shaft of the gearbox.

In normal gears, the coupler is moved forward to link


the gearbox output shaft to the drive pinion, thus
ensuring direct drive.

Lubrication
The epicyclic hub is lubricated by the splashing caused
by its moving parts.

The main gearbox comprises four synchronised ratios


with two synchronisers (15) and (54). Four gear trains
are distributed on the two shafts (4) and (32).
Each ratio is obtained by engaging only one synchro-
niser at a time.
The first ratio uses three gear trains, while the three
other ratios each use one gear train (see § C).

The primary shaft (4) is supported by two taper roller


bearings (5)(6) and (27)(28). Adjustment is ensured by
shims (3) fitted under the bearing cup (5).
The secondary shaft (32) is also supported by two
taper roller bearings (38)(39) and (34)(33). Adjustment
is ensured by shims (43) fitted under the bearing cup

GBA25 - PowerShuttle

A . General
The PowerShuttle, also called “ISC”, consists of two
electrohydraulically controlled multidisc clutches. It
makes possible to reverse the direction under load. It
is fitted on all tractors with a GBA25 gearbox.

The PowerShuttle is fitted in the centre of the unit. It


links the Powershift section of the gearbox to the
mechanical section of the gearbox.
The PowerShuttle is used as the main clutch of the
transmission.

The PowerShuttle design is simple. It comprises two


multidisc clutches, one for forward travel and one for
reverse travel. The PowerShuttle transmits drive from
the Powershift part of the gearbox to the mechanical
part of the gearbox.

Forward drive is transmitted directly to the mechanical


gearbox primary shaft. For reverse travel, a gear train
and a mainshaft transmit drive to the second ratio
pinion on the secondary shaft of the mechanical
gearbox.

A lever, fitted to the left under the steering wheel,


controls both the PowerShuttle and A, B, C, D gear
shifting of the Powershift ratios.
It is also fitted with a position for manual declutching
of the transmission.

Depending on the position selected by the operator,


the lever controls two proportional solenoid valves via
an Autotronic 5 calculator fitted in the cab floor.
The clutch pedal or manoeuvring pedal also controls
the clutch via sensors and the calculator. It is useful
when carrying out precise manoeuvres or hitching
implements.

The two solenoid valves are fitted on a hydraulic unit


located at the front right of the gearbox. This unit also
comprises the control solenoid valves of the Power-
shift ratios. It is supplied with 20 bar pressure from the
tractor hydraulic circuit.

A speed sensor fitted to the right-hand side of the


gearbox informs the calculator of the rotational output
speed of the PowerShuttle. The measurement is taken
at the second ratio pinion of the secondary shaft.

Control
Pressure is supplied to the pistons (30) and (32) by
internal channels (A) and (B) located in the shaft (1).
Two solenoid valves located on the gearbox right-hand
cover control the clutches. The internal channels are
located in the bearing (57) and in the shaft (1). Tight-
ness between the bearing (57) and shaft (1) is ensured
by three seals (4). The channels are blocked at the end
of the shaft (1) by plugs.

Lubrication
A flow of oil from the tractor hydraulic circuit is sent to
the bearing (57) on the left-hand side of the gearbox.
The oil flow is channelled to the centre of the upper
shaftline. Radial bores distribute the oil to the various
elements. The channels are blocked at the end of the
shaft (1) by plugs. The sealing ring (42), O’ring (41) and
ring (43) prevent the oil from leaking out where the
shafts (1) and (22) join.

PowerShuttle control
Reversing the direction of travel is controlled electro-
hydraulically by an Autotronic 5 calculator used to
control the transmission. The calculator control two
proportional solenoid valves that control the Power-
Shuttle clutches. To control the gradual reverse
shifting or engagement of a clutch, the calculator
receives information concerning engine rotational
speed, ground speed and PowerShuttle output rota-
tional speed (see chapter 11 Electronics).

GBA25 - Powershift module

A . General
The Powershift module is fitted to GBA25 gearboxes.
It is mounted at the gearbox input and is driven directly
by the engine. This module provides the GBA25 trans-
mission with six gear ratios for shifting under load.
These six ratios are supplied by three epicyclic gear
trains that operate with three brakes and three
clutches.
The gear ratios can be controlled with the reverse
shuttle lever (to the left under the steering wheel) or
with the right-hand armrest lever.
During basic operation, gear shifting operates in
“Speedmatching” mode: the most suitable ratio for
shifting under load is automatically selected when
changing range. Depending on the options, gear
shifting can be completely automatic. Fig. 1
The brakes and clutches are controlled by proportional
solenoid valves (N, P, L Fig. 1). They are fitted to a
hydraulic unit to the front right of the gearbox that
operates on the tractor 20 bar circuit (Fig. 1).

B . Operating principle
The Powershift module consists of two modules
comprised mainly of three epicyclic gear trains:
- speed multiplier module: located at the gearbox
input. It comprises an epicyclic gear train with three
planet gears, a brake and a clutch.
- Dynashiftmodule: fitted behind the speed multiplier.
It comprises two epicyclic gear trains with four
planet gears, two brakes and two clutches.

Speed multiplier module


Located in the input unit, the speed multiplier provides
a ratio of 1/1 (gear train locked) or 1.423/1.
Drive enters via the planet carrier and exits via the ring
gear. When the epicyclic gear train ratio is 1/1, the sun
gear is meshed to the planet carrier by a clutch. The
gear train assembly turns at the same speed as the
engine.
When the epicyclic gear train ratio is 1.4232/1, the
brake locks the sun gear on the gearbox housing,
allowing the engine speed to be overincreased (for
ratios E and F).

Massey Ferguson 6400 - Issue 4.a 5C12.3


GBA25 - Powershift module

Dynashift module
This module is located at the speed multiplier output,
and allows four ratios to be obtained when shifting
under load. It comprises two identical epicyclic gear
trains, two clutches and two brakes.
Drive enters and exits via the primary epicyclic gear
train.
The clutches and brakes act on the ring gear and the
sun gear of the secondary epicyclic gear train to vary
the speed of the primary sun gear, thus creating
different ratios.

Lubrication
The Powershift module is lubricated under pressure by
a network of internal channels. Oil enters the upper
transmission shaft of the gearbox, then travels through
radial bores to the elements to lubricate.
The oil flows from the tractor hydraulic circuit (see
chapter 9).

Clutch / brake operation (Fig. 4)


C . Kinematics
The brakes and clutches operate as a 1 brake / 1 clutch
Parts list (Fig. 5) set. The brakes (F) mesh an element to the housing
(fixed), and the clutches (E) mesh two elements in
(Fwd)Forward clutch rotation.
(Rev)Reverse clutch The clutches / brakes are controlled by a single piston
(L) Ring gear brake, 2nd epicyclic gear train of the (P). A junction plate (L) allows the clutch to be released
Dynashift module when the brake is engaged, and vice versa.
(M) Ring gear clutch, 2nd epicyclic gear train of the When there is no pressure on the piston (position A),
Dynashift module the Belleville washer (R) engages the clutch (E). When
(N) Sun gear brake, 2nd epicyclic gear train of the the piston (P) is supplied (position B), it engages the
Dynashift module brake (F) and pushes back the Belleville washer (R) via
(O) Sun gear clutch, 2nd epicyclic gear train of the the plate (L).
Dynashift module
(P) Reduction gear module sun gear brake
(Q) Reduction gear module sun gear clutch
Logic of the ratios (see table) Piston (P)
The six ratios are obtained by linking the four Dynashift
module ratios with the two multiplier module ratios.
Brake (F)
For ratios A, B, C and D the speed multiplier is not P
engaged, and its ratio is 1/1. A B
For ratios E and F, ratios C and D of the Dynashift Junction plate (L)
module are used, linked with the multiplier module, F L
which provides a ratio of 1.423/1.
Clutch (E)
Drive is always transmitted via the primary epicyclic E
gear train, entering via the primary ring gear and exiting Belleville washer (R) R
via the primary planet carrier. The four ratios are
obtained by modifying the rotational speed of the
primary sun gear, which is set by the secondary epicy-
clic gear train.

Ratio A (1/1.698) (Fig. 6)


The multiplier epicyclic gear train is locked in rotation
by clutch Q. It operates at a ratio of 1/1.

The two brake pistons L and N are pressurised. The


ring gear and sun gear of the secondary epicyclic gear
train are fixed in relation to the unit housing. As a
result, the planet carrier of this gear train is fixed and
holds the sun gear of the first gear train.
The reduction is provided by the speed of the primary
planet carrier.

Ratio B (1/1.423) (Fig. 7)


The multiplier epicyclic gear train is locked in rotation
by clutch Q. It operates at a ratio of 1/1.

Brake piston L is pressurised. Clutch O is locked by the


Belleville washer. The sun gear of the secondary epicy-
clic gear train rotates at the same speed as the
secondary shaft, driving the rotation of the planet
carrier and therefore the sun gear of the primary epicy-
clic gear train.
The secondary epicyclic gear train determines the rota-
tional speed of the primary sun gear.
The reduction is given by the speed of the primary
planet carrier and the speed of the primary sun gear.

Ratio C (1/1.193) (Fig. 8)


The multiplier epicyclic gear train is locked in rotation
by clutch Q. It operates at a ratio of 1/1.

Brake piston N is pressurised. Clutch M is locked by


the Belleville washer. The primary shaft drives the ring
gears of the two epicyclic gear trains. On the
secondary epicyclic gear train, the sun gear is fixed in
relation to the unit housing, and the ring gear drives the
secondary planet carrier and the primary sun gear.
The reduction is given by the speed of the primary
planet carrier and the speed of the primary sun gear.

Ratio D (1/1) (Fig. 9)


The multiplier epicyclic gear train is locked in rotation
by clutch Q. It operates at a ratio of 1/1.

The two brake pistons L and N are not pressurised.


The two clutches M and O are locked by the Belleville
washers. The primary and secondary ring gears
receive the input speed. The secondary sun gear is
integral with the secondary shaft, thus mechanically
locking the Dynashift module.
The input and output speeds are identical. The oper-
ating ratio is 1/1.

Ratio E (1.423/1.193) (Fig. 10)


Brake P is locked, locking the multiplier sun gear to the
unit housing. The multiplier epicyclic gear train can
therefore turn.
It increases the input speed with a ratio of 1.423/1.

The position of the other clutches/brakes is identical to


ratio C.

GBA25 - Robotic mechanical gearbox

A . General
The GBA25 gearbox is fitted to tractors with Dyna 6
transmission. This transmission is entirely automatic.
It allows shifting between all the ratios without
declutching.
The gearbox is divided into two parts:
- the Powershift module, with six ratios for shifting
under load (see relevant section)
- the robotically-controlled mechanical gearbox with
four ratios.

The transmission assembly is controlled electronically


by an Auto 5 calculator (see chapter 11).

Fig. 1
B . Operating principle
Lubrication
The GBA25 gearbox has 24 ratios. These are provided
by 6 Powershift module ratios for shifting under load, The lubricating oil coming from the 5 bar valve of the
and 4 mechanical gearbox ratios. tractor is sent to the gearbox lower shaftline and upper
shaftline.
The mechanical gearbox ratios are controlled like a
ratio for shifting under load. A network of internal channels directs the oil to the
elements requiring lubrication.
The ratios can be controlled manually or automatically
using Autodrive mode.
Two levers control the ratios in manual mode:
- Powercontrol lever located under the steering wheel
(1 Fig. 1)
- gear shift lever located on the armrest (2 Fig. 1).

The mechanical gearbox is located between the


Powershift unit and rear axle. It comprises two shafts
(upper and lower shaftlines) on which four gear trains
of pinions with helical teeth rotate.
Input drive arrives from the PowerShuttle and is trans-
mitted to the upper shaftline.
Output drive is transmitted via the lower shaftline to a
creeper unit or directly to the bevel gear drive pinion.

Selecting ratios
Ratios are selected using two synchronisers, one
single cone and one double cone. Each synchroniser is
engaged individually.
The synchronisers are controlled by two selector rails
and two forks. Each selector rail has a double-acting
piston, allowing ratio shifting.
The selector rail pistons are controlled hydraulically via
the tractor 20 bar circuit (arrow Fig. 2).

Four solenoid valves (L52, L53, L54, L55, see Fig. 2)


located on the right-hand side of the gearbox control
selector rail movement.
Four switches (L56, L57, L58, L59, see Fig. 2) inform
the calculator of the selector rail positions.
NOTE: The switches are pressed in by pins (130 Fig. 5).
Fig. 2

Each ratio has a corresponding solenoid valve and


switch (see table).

C . Description and kinematics of


ratios 1 N

The robotic gearbox allows four ratios to be obtained


with only four gear trains, two shafts and two synchro-
nisers.

Kinematics (Fig. 6)
Range 1
The reduction is carried out on three gear trains.
The first gear train drives the second train via the 1st
1
gear synchronisers, then the third train.

Range 2
The reduction is carried out on the first gear train. The 2 N
2nd gear synchronisers secure the 2nd gear pinion to
the secondary shaft.

Range 3
The reduction is carried out on the third gear train. The
primary shaft is secured to the 3rd gear pinion by the
3rd gear synchronisers.

Range 4
2
The reduction is carried out on the fourth gear train.
The primary shaft is secured to the 4th gear pinion by
the 4th gear synchronisers.

NOTE: In forward position, input drive comes directly
from the PowerShuttle to the primary shaft (1).
In reverse position, drive comes from the Power-
Shuttle via the pinions (124), (119) and (116) and the
shaft (121). It enters via the second driven pinion (25)
which is constantly meshed to the primary shaft (1)
(see Fig. 4).

A . General
The creeper gear reduction unit consists of an epicyclic
gear train with a planet carrier and ring gear assembly
mounted to the rear of the main gearbox. This unit is
controlled by a lever located on the cab console and
linked by a cable to an guide rod link mounted to the
front right-hand side of the centre housing. This link
moves the coupler control fork.

B . Operation
The coupler (8) is splined to the link shaft (21). Move-
ment of lever "A" to Snail position (Fig. 4) moves the
coupler (8) backwards and firmly joins it to the planet
carrier (1) via its external teeth. The speed of the
shaft (21) is 1/4 in relation to the output shaft.
When using normal gears, the gearbox output shaft is
firmly joined to the link shaft (21) when the coupler (8)
is moved forward, thus ensuring direct drive.
The creeper speeds can only be used with ranges 1
and 2 of the Dyna-6 unit. It allows 36 forward and
reverse ratios to be obtained.
The electrical signal corresponding to selection of the
creeper range is sent via switch "C" fitted on the
control unit (Fig. 4).

Operation (Fig. 6)
Coupler (8) is secured by the splines on link shaft (21). 4 8 21
Movement of lever A to the Snail position moves
coupler (8) forwards and engages it with planet carrier
(4) via its external teeth. The link shaft speed (21) is
1/14 that of the gearbox output shaft (44).
When coupler (8) is engaged in output planet carrier
(4), the needle roller bearing (1) allows link shaft (21) to
turn at a different speed to that of output shaft (44) 44
(Fig. 6).

When the super creeper range is selected, the Snail


indicator light on the instrument panel comes on. The
electrical signal corresponding to selection of the
super creeper range is transmitted via switch C, which 1
is fitted on the control unit (Fig. 7).

In normal gears, the gearbox output shaft (44) is


engaged with the link shaft (21) when coupler (8) is
moved backwards, thus ensuring direct drive (Fig. 8).

GBA15 - General - Operation

A . General
The GBA15 gearbox provides four basic synchronised
ratios and six ratios for shifting under load. The
24 ratios can be engaged manually or automatically in
forward and reverse position, without using the clutch
pedal.

The gearbox is divided into two sections (Fig. 1):


• front housing
Fitted behind the engine, the front housing supports:
- the multiplier module (1) to obtain ratios E and F for
shifting under load;
- the Dynashift (2) module with ratios A, B, C and D
for shifting under load;
- the PowerShuttle (3).
NOTE: The multiplier module and the Dynashift
module make up the Powershift module.
• rear housing
Fitted behind the front housing, the rear housing
supports:
- the main gearbox (4) with its four roboti-
cally-controlled mechanical ratios;
- the creeper gearbox (5).

In this section, description is mainly limited to the


gearbox. Only a partial description is given of the major
components, since a specific and more detailed
description can be found in each component's relevant
section.

controlled hydraulically by the brakes via two propor-
tional solenoid valves (with ON/OFF control) and two
multidisc clutches under pressure from the Belleville Lubrication
washers. The lubricating oil is directed by the tractor hydraulic
circuit. It penetrates the two ports located to the left of
the main gearbox and PowerShuttle housings respec-
tively. It lubricates the bearings, pinions and synchro-
niser hubs via axial channels and ports.

The main gearbox has four synchronised ratios with
two double cone synchronisers (111)(124) (see § D).
Four gear trains are divided between two shafts (94)
(119).
Each range is engaged via a synchroniser. A safety
finger on the selection mechanism prevents two
ranges being engaged simultaneously.
The first ratio uses three gear trains. The last three
ratios each use one gear train (see kinematics).

The primary shaft (94) is supported by two taper roller
bearings (92)(93) and (114)(115). It is preloaded under
the bearing cup (92) using the shims (90).
On the primary shaft (94), the double 1st/3rd gear
pinion (98) forms a single unit supported by:
- two taper roller bearings (99)(100) and (101)(102)
fitted in an X shape;

Advantages
The double cone synchroniser has the following advan-

Robotic control (Fig. 11)


The synchronisers are controlled conventionally by
forks (1) and (2) and selector rails (3) and (4).
The selector rails are controlled hydraulically. The
selector rails are fitted on double-acting pistons (5) (6).
On the selector rail (4) that controls the 1st/2nd gear
synchroniser, the piston (6) is damped by a spring (7)
to allow gradual movement of the fork in ranges 1 7
and 2.
The selector rails are adjusted by tightening or loosening
the adjustable stops (8) (9). Once adjusted, the stops are 5 4 6 1 7

Check
If the double cone synchronisers are disassembled,
check the cones (2) and (8) for wear as follows:
1. Stack the coupling flange (3), cones (2) and (8) and
ring (7).
2. Correctly position the ring (7) on the cones (2) and
(8), revolving them alternately each several turns
and applying pressure manually.
3. Using a set of thickness shims, measure
dimension X (Fig. 12) at three equidistant points.
Calculate the average of the three values and
proceed as described below, depending on the
result obtained.
On a new synchroniser, dimension X must be
1.6 mm minimum.
After operation, if X is less than or equal to
0.60–0.80 mm:
- replace the cones (2) and (8);
- check the measurement of X again, using the
same process.
If dimension X remains incorrect, also replace
ring (7) or, if necessary, the complete synchro-
niser.

This comprises:
- a bell housing;
- a hydraulic piston fitted with Quadring seals;
- a set of ten Belleville washers;
- a hub splined to the primary shaft of the robotic
gearbox;
- a set of nine discs and nine intermediate plates;
- a cover plate.
• the rear multidisc clutch for reverse travel (Fig. 1)
It comprises the same hydraulic and mechanical
components as the front clutch with the exception
that, for the rear clutch, the hub forms a unit with the
reverse driving gear (12).

clutch concerned and a main line (36) comprising two
gears (35) (37).
NOTE: The forward and reverse position ratios are iden-
tical.

Electrohydraulic control
A lever situated on the left underneath the steering
wheel is used to reverse the tractor's direction of
travel via an alternate hydraulic supply. When the
forward multidisc clutch is under load, the hydraulic
pressure of the reverse multidisc clutch is suspended
and vice-versa.
This lever is equipped with a position for manual
declutching. It also controls the shifting of ratios A, B, C,
D, E and F for the Powershift module (see chapter 5).
Pressure to the Power Shuttle pistons (14) (18) is
provided via the tractor's 21-bar low-pressure hydraulic
system. This pressure travels through the bell housing
shaft channels (3). It is controlled by two
PWM-controlled solenoid valves via an Autotronic 5
unit. The solenoid valves are fitted on a hydraulic unit
located at the front right of the gearbox. This hydraulic
unit also supports the solenoid valves for the Power-
shift module.
The clutch pedal, also called the manoeuvring pedal,
also controls the Power Shuttle via sensors and the
controller. It is useful for manoeuvring and/or accu-
rately hitching certain implements.
The Power Shuttle output speed is transmitted to the
tractor's electronic system via:
- the rotational speed of the 2nd gear of the gearbox
output shaft (see chapter 5);
- the sensor located on the right of the gearbox;
- the controller.

21-bar low pressure


The 21-bar Power Shuttle circuit is sealed by a set of
three rings (41) fitted in its front support.

Lubrication
The Power Shuttle front support acts as a manifold to
direct the lubrication oil from the tractor's hydraulic
system to the upper shaftline of the robotic gearbox.

GBA15 - Powershift module

A . General
The GBA15 transmission Powershift module is housed
inside a housing located between the engine and the
gearbox. It provides six ratios at the gearbox input for
shifting under load.
N P L

B . Operating principle of the Power-


shift module and its control
The Powershift module comprises:
- the multiplier module
- the Dynashift module. MA-05-05236A
Fig. 1

The multiplier module


The multiplier module is controlled by proportional
solenoids valves N and P (Fig. 1).
It comprises:
- a standard epicyclic gear train;
- a clutch;
- a brake.

Direct drive (ratio 1/1)


The sun gear is attached to the planet carrier via the
clutch. Drive enters via the planet carrier and exits via
the ring gear.

Overdrive transmission (ratio 1.423/1)


The sun gear is immobilised on the gearbox housing by
the brake. It allows the engine speed to go into over-
drive when ratios E and F are engaged.

Massey Ferguson 6400 - Issue 5.a 5D12.3


GBA15 - Powershift module

The Dynashift module


The Dynashift module provides four ratios for shifting
under load - A, B, C and D - controlled by proportional
solenoid valves L and N (Fig. 1).
It comprises: B
- two standard epicyclic gear trains (primary and secondary);
- two brakes; E
- two clutches.
I
Drive enters and exits via the primary epicyclic gear
F
train.
The clutches/brakes operate on the secondary epicy- P
clic gear train ring gear and sun gear at an opportune
moment in order to modify the rotational speed of the
primary sun gear, thus creating ratios A, B, C and D of MA-05-05237A

the Dynashift module.


Fig. 2
The clutches/brakes that select the multiplier module
ratios (Fig. 2) and the Dynashift module ratios (Fig. 3)
are each controlled by a piston P. When a brake is
engaged, the related clutch is disengaged, and vice
versa.
Control pistons P operate act both on brake discs F and
on junction plate I. When piston P is under pressure, B
plate I pushes back Belleville washers B of clutch E.
When the pressure is released, Belleville washers B E
push piston P back via junction plate I and tightens
clutch discs E. I

MA-05-06032A

Fig. 3
Powershift module control
The Powershift module ratio can be changed via
(Fig. 4):
- the multifunctional Power Control lever (1) located
on the left underneath the steering wheel;
- the lever (2) fitted to the right-hand armrest.
In basic operating mode, ratios are shifted in Speed-
matching mode. The most suitable ratio under load is
then selected automatically when shifting range.
Depending on the option, ratio shifting can be
completely automatic.

GBA15 - Powershift module

Lubrication
The Powershift module is lubricated under pressure by
a network of internal channels. Oil from the tractor's
hydraulic system is supplied via the upper shaftline of
the gearbox and travels through the radial holes to the
elements to be lubricated.

GBA15 - Powershift module

Explanation of the ratios


The six ratios are obtained by combining the four
Dynashift module ratios with the two multiplier
module ratios.
For ratios A, B, C and D, the multiplier is not engaged:
its ratio is 1/1.
For ratios E and F, ratios C and D of the Dynashift
module are used in combination with the multiplier
module, which provides a ratio of 1.423/1.

Drive is always transmitted via the primary epicyclic


gear train, entering via the primary ring gear and exiting
via the primary planet carrier. The four ratios are
obtained by modifying the rotational speed of the
primary sun gear, which is set by the secondary epicy-
clic gear train.

GBA15 - Robotic mechanical gearbox

A . General
The GBA15 gearbox is fitted to tractors with Dyna-6
transmission. This transmission is fully automated. It
allows shifting between all the ratios without
declutching.

The GBA15 gearbox is divided into two sections:


- the Powershift module, with six ratios for shifting
under load (see relevant section);
- the robotic mechanical gearbox, with four ratios.

The transmission assembly is controlled electronically


by an Autotronic 5 controller (see chapter 11).

Fig. 1

B . Principles of operation
The GBA15 gearbox has 24 ratios provided by:
- the six Powershift module ratios for shifting under
load and
- the four mechanical ratios of the gearbox, which are
controlled like a ratio for shifting under load.

The ratios can be controlled manually or automatically


using Autodrive mode.
In manual mode, the ratios are controlled by two levers
(Fig. 1):
- the Power Control lever (1) located under the
steering wheel;
- the range lever (2) located on the armrest.

The gearbox is located between the Powershift


module and the rear axle. It comprises two shafts
(primary shaft on the upper shaftline and output shaft
on the lower shaftline), on which four constantly
engaged helical gear trains rotate.
Input drive is transmitted via the Power Shuttle to the
primary shaft. Output drive is transmitted via the output
shaft to a creeper gearbox or directly to the pinion of the
crownwheel and pinion.

Lubrication
The oil from the lubrication system coming from the L54 L55 L59 L58
tractor's 5 bar valve is sent to the lower shaftline and
the upper shaftline of the gearbox. A network of chan-
nels and ports in the gearbox channels the oil to the
parts requiring lubrication.

Selecting ratios
The range is selected by two double cone synchro-
nisers. Each synchroniser is engaged individually.
The synchronisers are controlled by two selector rails
and two forks. Each selector rail has a double acting
piston, which allows range shifting. This piston is
controlled hydraulically via the tractor's 21 bar L52 L53 L57 L56
MA-05-05142A
hydraulic system. Fig. 2

Four solenoid valves L52, L53, L54 and L55 (Fig. 2)


located on the right-hand side of the gearbox control
selector rail movement.
Four switches L56, L57, L58 and L59 (Fig. 2) inform
the controller of the selector rail positions.
NOTE: The switches are pressed in by pins (131)
(Fig. 3) controlled by the selector rails.
Each range has a solenoid valve and switch (see table
below).

Adjusting the position of the 1st/3rd double


gear (2)
The position of the double gear (2) must be checked or
adjusted in relation to the position of the 3rd/4th
double cone synchroniser. This adjustment is essential
for the correct operation of range 3 synchronisation. It
can be achieved:
- either by first adjusting the position of the 1st/3rd
double gear (2), then shimming its tapered roller
bearings (solution 1, see steps 83 to 90);
- or by first shimming the tapered roller bearings of the
1st/3rd double gear (2), then adjusting the position of
this gear (solution 2, see steps 91 to 94).

Massey Ferguson 6400 - Issue 5.a 5D13.25

Solution 1

83. Place the primary shaft (63) fitted with its elements
(4) (13) (14) (15) in a vertical position on a work-
bench (Fig. 30).
84. Onto the primary shaft, slide the 1st/3rd double
gear (2) fitted with its elements (3) (5) (9) (10) (11)
(12).
85. Temporarily exclude:
- the bearing cup (6);
- the shim(s) (7);
- the thrust washer (16);
- the circlip (17).
86. Fit the snap ring (8) (Fig. 30).
NOTE: The snap ring (8) acts as a stop for the
3rd/4th double cone synchroniser (1).
87. Rotate the 1st/3rd double gear (2) several turns to
correctly position the cone (14) in the bearing cup
(5) (Fig. 30).
88. Slide tool ref. xxx (see § L) onto the primary shaft
(63), against the snap ring (8) (Fig. 30).
NOTE 1: The spherical section of the snap ring (8)
prevents a depth gauge from being used to
measure distance A.
NOTE 2: The service tool acts as a gauge. The
simplified sketch (Fig. 30) clearly displays distance
A, which must be between 17.50 and 17.56 mm.
89. Apply manual pressure to the tool.
Using a set of thickness shims, gauge space E at
three equidistant points (Fig. 30) in order to vali-
date the correct position of the 1st/3rd double gear
(2).
Calculate the average of the three readings (this
average will be referred to as E):
- if E < 0.05 mm, the position of the 1st/3rd
double gear (2) is correct;
- if E > 0.05 mm, fit a 0.4 mm shim between the
shoulder of the 1st/3rd double gear (2) and the
bearing cup (5) (Fig. 31).
IMPORTANT: The position of the 1st/3rd double
gear (2) must be corrected with a single shim
0.4 mm in thickness. Do not fit a shim with
different dimensions.
90. After setting the position of the 1st/3rd double
gear (2) (Fig. 31), shim its tapered roller bearings
(see steps 73 to 82).

91. As the tapered roller bearings of the 1st/3rd double


gear (2) are shimmed (see steps 73 to 82), fit the
snap ring (8) (Fig. 32).
NOTE: The snap ring (8) acts as a stop for the
3rd/4th double cone synchroniser (1).
92. Slide tool ref. xxx (see § L) onto the primary shaft
(63), against the snap ring (8) (Fig. 32).
NOTE 1: The spherical section of the snap ring (8)
prevents a depth gauge from being used to
measure distance A.
NOTE 2: The service tool acts as a gauge. The
simplified sketch (Fig. 32) clearly displays distance
A, which must be between 17.50 and 17.56 mm.
93. Apply manual pressure to the tool.
Using a set of thickness shims, gauge space E at
three equidistant points (Fig. 32) in order to vali-
date the correct position of the 1st/3rd double gear
(2).
Calculate the average of the three readings (this
average will be referred to as E):
- if E < 0.05 mm, the position of the 1st/3rd
double gear (2) is correct;
- if E > 0.05 mm, fit a 0.4 mm shim (7) between
the shoulder of the 1st/3rd double gear (2) and
the bearing cup (5) (Fig. 33).
IMPORTANT: The position of the 1st/3rd double
gear (2) must be corrected with a single shim
0.4 mm in thickness. Do not fit a shim with
different dimensions.
94. If it was necessary to correct the position of the
1st/3rd double gear, check that the shimming of
the tapered roller bearings of the 1st/3rd double
gear (2) is still correct.

A . General
The creeper unit mechanism comprises two parts:
• the creeper final drive unit (24)
It is fitted as an option to GBA15 Dyna-6 gearboxes.
It comprises an epicyclic gear train of simple kine-
matics including a planet carrier/ring gear assembly
housed at the rear of the gearbox (Fig. 1).
• the cable control
The rod fitted to the front right-hand side of the
centre housing operates the control fork of the final 22 24
drive unit via a cable linked to a lever located in the
cab.
IMPORTANT: The coupler with spur cut teeth can only
be activated when the tractor is stopped.

MA-05-05341A
Fig. 1

Massey Ferguson 6400 - Issue 5.a 5D14.3


GBA15 - Creeper

B . Operation
The coupler (29) is splined to the pinion (9) (Fig. 2).
When the control lever in the cab is moved to the Snail
position, the coupler is moved backwards (detail C,
Fig. 2) and locked to the planet carrier (20) via the
coupler ring (22) (Fig. 1, Fig. 2).
The rotational speed of the pinion is one quarter that of
the output shaft of the gearbox.
In normal gears, the coupler is moved forwards (detail
A, Fig. 2) to link the gearbox output shaft to the pinion,
thus ensuring direct drive.

Lubrication
The final drive is lubricated by the splashing caused by
its moving parts.

Adjusting the creeper fork (Fig. 7)


26. If the creeper fork requires adjusting, proceed as
follows:
- Fit the detent plunger (35) and the spring (36).
Partially screw in the plug (37).
- Place the coupler (29) and the fork (27) in the
direct drive position as per F1 (the locking device
(35) (36) (37) in the front slot of the selector rail
(28)).
- Hold the fork pads lightly in contact with the
coupler as per F4.
- Hold the special nut (26) in position to prevent it
from turning (detail A). Screw or unscrew the
selector rail (28) in the nut, to obtain a distance of
51.75 mm between the front surface of the
coupler and that of the centre housing (45).
IMPORTANT: During fork adjustment, the special
nut (26) must be held against face B of the centre
housing (45) as per F3.
- Definitively tighten the plug (37) to 50-70 Nm.
- Check the movement of the coupler (29) in each
position (creeper gears and direct drive), while
holding the special nut (26) against face B of the
centre housing as per F3.
NOTE: When the tractor is coupled between the
gearbox and rear axle, the selector rail (28) is
immobilised by the contact of the special nut (26)
with rear surface F2 of the gearbox (detail A).
