Gearbox construction
The gearbox construction consists of three main parts:
a clutch housing, a basic housing and a range housing.
The clutch housing forms the front end plate of the
gearbox. The base housing contains the main, counter
and reverse shafts along with a selector unit which is
integrated into the control housing. The range housing
contains the range gear planetary gear and the output
shaft.

are located on the main shaft. The range gear’s sun gear
is also integrated with the main shaft. The countershaft
has fixed gears.

The emergency steering servo pump is located on the
gearbox and is driven by the gearbox output shaft. The
emergency steering servo pump is activated when for
some reason the normal power steering circuit fails.

Control housing
Gears are selected using the gear selector. Once a gear
has been selected, the system reduces the engine torque
to a suitable level, after which the gears are shifted to
neutral.
After the gearbox has been put into neutral, the engine
speed is adjusted to accommodate the speed of the
selected gear, after which the gear shift takes place.

The control housing cover has two or sometimes

three electrical sockets.

When there is no retarder, the following applies:

• Four inductive sensors for the positioning of the
pistons.
• Two speed sensors, one for the main shaft and one
for the countershaft. The input shaft speed is set by
the countershaft sensor.
• An oil temperature sensor, selector forks for split
gears and main gearbox. The oil temperature sensor
is located on the cabling for the rpm sensor.
• A pressure sensor.

Countershaft brake
The counter shaft brake is located at the front of the
counter shaft and brakes the rotating parts the gearbox
when a start gear is selected, which eliminates gearbox
wear, deposits and noise. The brake is also sometimes
used during changing up to give quicker gear changes. It
is activated using an integrated pneumatic cylinder.

Lubrication system

T4023570
Volvo Truck Corporation Date Group No. Release Page
Service Bulletin 12.2010 431 228 10 12(31)

The gearbox is lubricated through a combination of

pressure and splashing.

The oil is led into the main shaft to lubricate and cool the
range gears as well as the input and main shaft bearings.

The countershaft brake, output shaft bearings, emergency

steering servo pump drive, retarder gear and power
take-off are also lubricated.

The lubrication system has two overflow valves. One

valve ensures that the gearbox is lubricated if the
filter gets blocked while the other prevents excessive
pressures in the system, e.g. during cold start. The valves
T4021730
are made up of a compression spring and a valve peg.

The overflow valve which ensures that the gearbox is

lubricated.

T4021729

Overflow valve which prevents excessive pressure.

Oil pump
The oil pump is an eccentric pump driven by the
countershaft via a gear. The pump is mounted in two
needle bearings in the reverse shaft.

There is a full flow oil filter of the insert filter type on the
pressure side of the pump. It is located in the oil filter
housing in the main housing. A support pipe is fitted
in a cover that is fastened to the bottom of the oil filter
housing. The support pipe prevents the filter, which sits
on the outside, from collapsing.

Function description
Standard functions
The following standard functions are available in the
gearbox:
• Automatic choice of start gear.
• Possibility to change automatically selected gears
when the accelerator pedal is released.
Optional functions
• I-Roll (VEB or retarder required)
This function automatically engages and disengages
the freewheel to reduce fuel consumption. When
you release the accelerator, the transmission shifts
to neutral, so that the vehicle can roll freely and the
engine goes down to idle.
• Smart Cruise Control
The function is only active when cruise control is
activated. Saves fuel by deactivating the auxiliary
brakes under certain conditions. The function releases
the auxiliary brakes after a downhill stretch, which
improves cruise control performance.
• Launch Control
Allows driving with the engine idling without slipping
the clutch.
Regulates engine torque when pulling away for
optimum gear changing and avoid high engine speed.
The following functions in “Launch control” require
EBS:
Improved comfort when pulling-up through smoother
disengagement when pressing lightly on the brake
pedal.
Automatic application of the brakes when the vehicle
rolls in the wrong direction, in relation to the selected
gear.
Automatic application of the brakes to stop the vehicle
and change from a forward to a reverse gear or vice
versa.
HSA, “Hill Start Aid”, which is only active on inclines.
See also the description of “Hill Start Aid”: Function
group 593, Information type Description “Electronically
controlled braking system (EBS)”.
• Enhanced Shift Strategy
Date Group No. Release Page
12.2010 431 228 10 28(31)
• A display that shows the gearbox oil temperature and
a warning system that informs the driver when the oil
temperature is too high.
Automatically selects the lowest possible gear when
the air suspension is in manual mode in order to obtain
optimal manoeuvrability. ECS required.
Improves engine brake performance by selecting gears
that increase engine speed.
Temporarily applies the wheel brakes when changing
gear to compensate for the engine brake when
the brake program is active. This function requires
ABS-EBS. If a trailer without ABS is hitched up, the
function is deactivated.
• Heavy Duty GCM Control
This function makes it possible to adjust the gearing
strategy to suit the rolling weight - up to 180 tonne.
• Gear Selection Adjustment in Auto including
Kickdown
The function makes it possible to adjust automatically
selected gears even when the accelerator pedal is
depressed. There is also a Kick Down function for
maximising the acceleration of the vehicle.
• Enhanced Power Take Off Functions
Optional functions that support power take-off
operations, e.g. “Auto Neutral” and splitbox. Optional
functions:
Makes it possible to determine software parameters
that limit engine speed when power take-off is used.
The function forms a gear selection strategy to suit
engine speed limitations.
Disengages the transmission at the request of the
options module, irrespective of the gear lever position,
when “Auto Neutral” is activated.
Blocks reverse gear when the options module requests
“ reverse inhibit”.
Makes it possible to use the splitbox for driving the
power take-off at high capacity.
