Introduction
Purpose and Scope of Manual
Introduction
This manual is designed to provide detailed information necessary to service and repair the Eaton® Fuller® transmissions listed on the front.
How to use this Manual
The service procedures have been divided into two sections:
In-Vehicle Service Procedures and Transmission Overhaul
Procedures—Bench Service. In-Vehicle Service Procedures
contain procedures that can be performed while the transmission is still installed in the vehicle. Transmission Overhaul
Procedures contain procedures that are performed after the
transmission has been removed from the vehicle.
The procedure sections are laid out with a general heading at
the top outside edge of each page followed by more specific
headings and the procedures. To find the information you
need in these sections, first go to the section that contains the
procedure you need. Then look at the heading at the top and
outside edge of each page until you find the one that contains
the procedure you need.
Transmission Overhaul Procedures follow the general steps
for complete disassembly and then assembly of the transmission.
Note: In some instances the transmission appearance may be
different from the illustrations, but the procedure is the
same.
Disassemble Precautions
It is assumed in the detailed assembly instructions that the
lubricant has been drained from the transmission, the necessary linkage and vehicle air lines disconnected and the transmission has been removed from vehicle chassis. Removal of
the gear shift lever housing assembly (or remote control
assembly) is included in the detailed instructions (How to
Remove the Gear Shift Lever). This assembly MUST be
detached from the shift bar housing before the transmission
can be removed.
Follow closely each procedure in the detailed instructions,
make use of the text, illustrations, and photographs provided.
Assemblies
When disassembling the various assemblies, such as the
mainshaft, countershafts, and shift bar housing, lay all parts
on a clean bench in the same sequence as removed. This procedure will simplify assembly and reduce the possibility of
losing parts.
Bearings
Carefully wash and lubricate all usable bearings as removed
and protectively wrap until ready for use. Remove bearings
planned to be reused with pullers designed for this purpose.
Cleanliness
Provide a clean place to work. It is important that no dirt or
foreign material enters the unit during repairs. Dirt is an abrasive and can damage bearings. It is always a good practice to
clean the outside of the unit before starting the planned disassembly.
Input Shaft
The input shaft can be removed from the transmission without removing the countershafts, or mainshaft. Special procedures are required and provided in this manual.
Snap Rings
Remove snap rings with pliers designed for this purpose.
Snap rings removed in this manner can be reused, if they are
not sprung or loose.
When Using Tools to Move Parts
Always apply force to shafts, housings, etc., with restraint.
Movement of some parts is restricted. Never apply force to
driven parts after they stop solidly. The use of soft hammers,
soft bars, and mauls for all disassembly work is recommended.
1
Introduction
Inspection Precautions
Before assembling the transmission, check each part carefully
for abnormal or excessive wear and damage to determine
reuse or replacement. When replacement is necessary, use
only genuine Eaton® Fuller® Transmission parts to assure
continued performance and extended life from your unit.
Since the cost of a new part is generally a small fraction of the
total cost of downtime and labor, avoid reusing a questionable
part which could lead to additional repairs and expense soon
after assembly. To aid in determining the reuse or replacement of any transmission part, consideration should also be
given to the unit's history, mileage, application, etc.
Recommended inspection procedures are provided in the following checklist.
Bearings
• Wash all bearings in clean solvent. Check balls, rollers, and raceways for pitting, discoloration, and
spalled areas. Replace bearings that are pitted, discolored, spalled, or damaged during disassembly.
• Lubricate bearings that are not pitted, discolored, or
spalled and check for axial and radial clearances.
• Replace bearings with excessive clearances.
• Check bearing fit. Bearing inner races should be tight
to shaft; outer races slightly tight to slightly loose in
case bore. If the bearing spins freely in the bore the
case should be replaced.
Bearing Covers
• Check covers for wear from thrust of adjacent bearing. Replace covers damaged from thrust of bearing
outer race.
• Check cover bores for wear. Replace those worn or
oversized.
Clutch Release Parts
• Check clutch release parts. Replace yokes worn at
cam surfaces and bearing carrier worn at contact
pads.
Gears
• Check gear teeth for frosting and pitting. Frosting of
gear teeth faces presents no threat of transmission
failure. Often in continued operation of the unit,
frosted gears "heal" and do not progress to the pitting stage. In most cases, gears with light to moderate pitted teeth have considerable gear life remaining
and can be reused, but gears in the advanced stage
of pitting should be replaced.
• Check for gears with clutching teeth abnormally
worn, tapered, or reduced in length from clashing
during shifting. Replace gears found in any of these
conditions.
• Check axial clearance of gears.
Gear Shift Lever Housing Assembly
• Check spring tension on shift lever. Replace tension
spring if lever moves too freely.
• If housing is disassembled, check gear shift lever
bottom end and shift finger assembly for wear.
Replace both gears if excessively worn.
Gray Iron Parts
• Check all gray iron parts for cracks and breaks.
Replace parts found to be damaged.
Oil Return Threads and Seals
• Check oil return threads on the input shaft. If return
action of threads has been destroyed, replace the
input shaft.
• Check oil seal in rear bearing cover. If sealing action
of lip has been destroyed, replace seal.
O-Rings
• Check all O-rings for cracks or distortion. Replace if
worn.
Reverse Idler Gear Assemblies
• Check for excessive wear from action of roller bearings.
• Check pedal shafts. Replace those worn at bushing
surfaces.

Introduction
Introduction
Shift Bar Housing Assembly
• Check for wear on shift yokes and blocks at pads and
lever slot. Replace excessively worn parts.
• Check yokes for correct alignment. Replace sprung
yokes.
• Check lockscrews in yoke and blocks. Tighten and
rewire those found loose.
• If housing has been disassembled, check neutral
notches of shift bars for wear from interlock balls.
Sliding Clutches
• Check all shift yokes and yoke slots in sliding
clutches for extreme wear or discoloration from
heat.
• Check engaging teeth of sliding clutches for partial
engagement pattern.
Splines
• Check splines on all shafts for abnormal wear. If
sliding clutch gears, companion flange, or clutch
hub has wear marks in the spline sides, replace the
specific shaft effected.
Synchronizer Assembly
• Check synchronizer for burrs, uneven and excessive
wear at contact surface, and metal particles.
• Check blocker pins for excessive wear or looseness.
• Check synchronizer contact surfaces on the synchronizer cups for wear.
Washers
• Check surfaces of all washers. Washers scored or
reduced in thickness should be replaced.
Assembly Precautions
Make sure that case interiors and housings are clean. It is
important that dirt and other foreign materials are kept out of
the transmission during assembly. Dirt is an abrasive and can
damage polished surfaces of bearings and washers. Use certain precautions, as listed below, during assembly.
Bearings
• Use a flange-end bearing driver for bearing installation. These special drivers apply equal force to both
bearing races, preventing damage to balls/rollers
and races while maintaining correct bearing alignment with bore and shaft. Avoid using a tubular or
sleeve-type driver, whenever possible, as force is
applied to only one of the bearing races.
Capscrews
• To prevent oil leakage and loosening, use Eaton/
Fuller sealant #71225 on all capscrews.
Gaskets
• Use new gaskets throughout the transmission as it is
being rebuilt. Make sure all gaskets are installed. An
omission of any gasket can result in oil leakage or
misalignment of bearing covers.
Initial Lubrication
• Coat all limit washers and shaft splines with Lubricant during assembly to prevent scoring and galling
of such parts.
O-Rings
• Lubricate all O-rings with silicon lubricant.
Shims
• Apply a light coat of Eaton/Fuller sealant #71233 to
both sides of shims
Universal Joint Companion Flange or Yoke
• Pull the companion flange or yoke tightly into place
with the output shaft nut. Make sure the speedometer drive gear or a replacement spacer of the same
width has been installed. Failure to pull the companion flange or yoke tightly into place can result in
damage to the mainshaft rear bearing.
IMPORTANT: See the appropriate Illustrated Parts Lists
(specified by model series) to ensure that proper parts are
used during assembly of the transmission.

Lubrication Information
Proper lubrication procedures are the key to a good all-around
maintenance program.
Eaton® Fuller® Transmissions are designed so that the internal parts operate in an oil circulating bath created by the
motion of the gears and shafts.
All parts will be properly lubricated if these procedures are
closely followed:
1. Maintain oil level. Inspect regularly.
2. Follow maintenance interval chart.
Oil Level
3. Use the correct grade and type of oil.
4. Buy from a reputable dealer.
Maintain Proper Oil Level
Make sure oil is level with the filler opening. Being able to
reach oil with your finger does not mean oil is at proper level.
(One inch of oil level is about one gallon of oil.)
When adding oil, never mix engine oils and gear oils in the

Preventive Maintenance
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive Maintenance
Everyday there are countless vehicles operating over the highways with transmissions in such a neglected mechanical condition, they can be referred to as failures looking for a place to
break down. They lack a proper and organized preventive
maintenance program.
Preventive maintenance is a general term which applies to all
procedures necessary to have maximum life and satisfactory
service at the lowest possible cost, short of removing and
repairing the unit.
Checks Before Transmission Removal
A number of conditions contrary to good preventive maintenance can generally be pointed to when inspecting a failed
transmission. Taking a few minutes every so many hours or
miles to do a few simple checks could help avoid eventual
breakdown or reduce the repair cost. If the transmission is
not cared for, it will breakdown.
Transmission appearance may differ, however the procedure
is the same.
Note: Transmission appearance may differ, the procedure is
the same.
Clutch Housing Mounting (1)
• Check all capscrews of clutch housing flange for
looseness.
Clutch Release Bearing (Not Shown)
• Remove hand hole cover and check radial and axial
clearance in release bearing.
• Check relative position of thrust surface of release
bearing with thrust sleeve on push-type clutches.
Clutch Pedal Shaft and Bores (3)
• Pry upward on shafts to check wear.
• If excessive movement is found, remove clutch
release mechanism and check bushings on bores
and wear on shafts. See OEM literature.
Lubricant (4)
• Change at specified service intervals.
• Use only the types and grades as recommended. See
"Recommended Lubrication Chart".
15
Preventive Maintenance
Filler and Drain Plugs (5)
• Remove filler plugs and check level of lubricant at
specified intervals. Tighten fill and drain plugs
securely.
Capscrews and Gaskets (6)
• Check all capscrews, especially those on PTO covers
and rear bearing covers for looseness which would
cause oil leakage.
• Check PTO opening and rear bearing covers for oil
leakage due to faulty gasket.
Gear Shift Lever (7)
• Check for looseness and free play in housing. If lever
is loose in housing, check Gear Shift Lever Housing
Assembly.
Gear Shift Lever Housing Assembly (8)
• Remove the gear shift lever housing assembly from
the transmission.
• Check the tension spring and washer for set and
wear.
• Check gear shift lever bottom end for wear in the
slots and check for wear of finger assembly and
housing.
Checks With Drive Line Dropped
Universal Joint Companion Flange or Yoke Nut (9)
• Check for tightness. Tighten to recommended
torque.
Output Shaft (Yoke Nut Tightened)
• Pry upward against output shaft to check radial
clearance in mainshaft rear bearing.
Checks With Universal Joint Companion Flange or Yoke Removed
Note: If necessary, use solvent and shop rag to clean sealing
surface of companion flange or yoke. Do not use crocus
cloth, emery paper, or other abrasive materials that will
mar surface finish.
Splines on Output Shaft (11)
• Check for wear from movement and chucking action
of the universal joint companion flange or yoke.
Mainshaft Rear Bearing Cover (12)

Rear Seal Maintenance
Leakage in transmission rear seals is perhaps the most common problem in truck transmissions. The problem is more
than a nuisance because if not repaired, a leaking seal can
lead to catastrophic transmission failure. There have been
strides in reducing leakage through improved designs and the
use of new seal materials. However, the most important way
to reduce this problem continues to be through proper service
and installation procedures.
It can be very time consuming and expensive to replace a rear
seal system, then find the oil seal system was not causing the
oil leakage. Using the following checklist, inspect the transmission to insure proper identification of the leak path.
Before disassembling the rear seal system, clean the rear
bearing cover, the rear seal, and the output yoke. DO NOT
USE A HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY WASHER TO CLEAN THE
REAR SEAL SYSTEM. USE A CLEAN DRY CLOTH. Run the
vehicle, then inspect these areas for oil leaks.

Power Flow
The transmission must efficiently transfer the engine's power,
in terms of torque, to the vehicle's rear wheels. Knowledge of
what takes place in the transmission during torque transfer is
essential when trouble-shooting and when making repairs
become necessary.
1. Power (torque) from the engine is transferred to the
transmission input shaft.
2. Torque is transferred to countershaft drive gear.
FS-5205 First Gear
3. Torque is delivered along countershaft to all countershaft gears.
4. Torque is transferred to "engaged" mainshaft gear.
The cross section view illustrates 1st speed gear
position.
5. The engaged mainshaft gear external clutching teeth
transfer torque to the mainshaft through the synchronizer assembly or sliding clutch.
6. The mainshaft transfers torque directly to driveshaft
through the output yoke.
