What is AutoShift transmission?

The AutoShift transmission, based on the RT Series manual transmission, is an advanced shift-by-wire system that communicates with the engine utilizing the SAE-J1939 protocol for precise control of the engine and transmission functions.

Are UltraShift transmissions any good?

They are just as reliable as any other. Most of what you hear is people spewing off BS that they’ve heard from someone else. It does take a little to get used to just because it’s different. I can also tell you that my left knee no longer hurts and stop and go traffic is a breeze.

What is an UltraShift transmission?

Built upon the Fuller 13- and 18-speed manual transmissions, the UltraShift PLUS Performance Series uses an electronic clutch actuator to provide faster shifting and smoother engagement. At idle, it fully engages the clutch giving the driver ultimate control in challenging situations.

Is UltraShift transmission automatic?

The UltraShift PLUS MXP 18-speed automated manual transmission is the workhorse of the transmission lineup. Fleet managers and drivers alike will appreciate the improved safety and greater fleet-wide fuel efficiency these automated transmissions deliver compared to their manual counterparts.

What is the difference between AMT and at transmission?

BRANDEN HARBIN: The primary difference between a fully automatic transmission and an automated manual transmission (AMT) is the launch device. A fully automatic transmission employs a hydraulic torque converter coupling the engine to a planetary-geared transmission providing uninterrupted, continuous power shifts.

What is the difference between auto shift and automatic?

In a manual transmission, the driver is responsible for shifting the gears, while in a vehicle with an automatic transmission, the car does the shifting for you.

How does an 18 speed transmission work?

The 18 speed transmission is laid out in an ‘H’ pattern. The easiest way to become familiar with the 18 speed is to practice shifting in an H pattern. The driver uses second, third, fourth, and fifth, then splits up into high range and then shift the H pattern again for sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth gear.

What is an XY shifter?

Briefly, X-Y shifters are devices which control the X—X (or selection directional) and the Y—Y (or engage/not-engaged directional) position of a shift member, such as a shift finger or the like. Typically, two separate fluid or electric motors are used to control the X—X and Y—Y positions.

What is an Endurant transmission?

Endurant HD is the lightest heavy-duty transmission and includes breakthrough innovations such as a transmission fluid pressure sensor to protect the transmission from burn-up. There’s even a new dual-PTO model designed for bulk haulers.
