Power Shift Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080 15


Description and Specifications Twin Disc, Incorporated

Description

The input section of the transmission consists of two geared-together clutch


shafts. Each shaft contains two 7-inch clutch packs of the orifice type. When
the clutch is engaged, output is from gear and drive rings on the clutch shafts to
and through gears on the compound shaft, and then to gears on the 9-inch
clutch shaft. This shaft contains two 9-inch clutch packs of the orifice type. A
spline-connected output gear on the 9-inch clutch shaft is meshed with the input
gear on the inter-axle differential. The differential includes two independent
output shafts connected through the inter-axle differential. The differential has a
clutch that when applied, locks up the differential providing a solid drive through
the differential to the outputs.

The hydraulic torque converter is a single stage Type 8 design with a modulated
input clutch, integral lockup clutch, and stator freewheel. The converter includes
power take-off mounting ports for the mounting of hydraulic pumps. The lockup
clutch and modulated input clutches are hydraulically controlled in conjunction
with the electronic control unit.

Sump

The bottom of the transmission housing serves as the sump for all oil used in
the transmission/ torque converter system. A suction strainer is installed in the
sump to prevent debris from being drawn into the pump inlet.

Pump

The system pump located on the rear of the torque converter is a positive
displacement gear-type and is driven directly by the engine. The pump inlet
draws oil through a suction strainer. Outlet from the pump is directed through a
filter and regulator valve and supplies pressure for clutch apply, torque converter
and lube. The pump runs at 1.28 times faster than engine speed.

A scavenge pump is attached to the back of the main system pump on the
converter. The scavenge pump draws oil from the bottom of the engine flywheel
and converter housings and returns the oil to the transmission sump.

16 Power Shift Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080


Twin Disc, Incorporated Description and Specifications

Regulator Valve Assembly

Pressure regulating valves for controlling main and lube oil pressures are
contained in the regulator valve assembly on the transmission. Converter
pressure is controlled by a pressure regulator at the converter outlet and the
transmission lube regulator. The regulator valve on the transmission also
includes a cold oil relief for protection of the converter.

Range Selector Valve

Seven identical proportional valves, mounted on the rear of the transmission


housing, control the application of the transmission clutches. The valves are
controlled by electronically modulated signals. Six of these valves are located
in three pairs in a valve body on the end of each of the clutch shafts on the rear
of the transmission housing. These are identified as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The
seventh valve, identified as D, controls the clutch in the transmission differential.
This is located on the right of side A of the transmission housing on 6 x 6 vehicles,
and on the left of side B on 4 x 4 vehicles. These solenoid numbers are
referenced in the electronic control system drawing to aid technicians in
troubleshooting the system.

The lockup and modulated input clutches in the torque converter are controlled
by proportional valves that are mounted on the torque converter, and are
actuated by proportional electrical signals. A solenoid of a different type is
used to control the torque converter mounted power take-off.

The control system is powered by the vehicle’s 12 volts dc battery, and the
solenoids are powered by 12 volts dc that is regulated by an internal voltage
regulator in the electronic control.

Clutch Applied Power Take-off

Mounted on the torque converter is a hydraulically actuated power take-off unit


which is driven by the engine. When the hydraulic clutch is disengaged the
power take-off output does not turn and is held stationary with a single disc
brake. When the engaging solenoid is activated the hydraulic clutch engages
and drives the power take-off output. The power take-off output is driven at
engine speed x 1.28. A 12 volt dc solenoid is used to engage the clutch.

Power Shift Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080 17


Description and Specifications Twin Disc, Incorporated

Special Features

Clutches

Hardened steel plates and organic fiber friction plates are used on all clutches.
The 7-inch and 9-inch clutches are of the orifice type clutch. The clutches are
hydraulically actuated, spring-released, and oil cooled. The outer diameter of
the 7-inch steel plates are polygon shaped.

Bearings

The 7-inch clutch shafts are supported with tapered roller bearings. The end
play of the 9-inch clutch shaft is controlled by a double tapered roller bearing
set, and the other end of the shaft is supported by a straight roller bearing. The
output shafts and differential are supported with tapered roller bearings and
ball bearings. The output end gear and ring assemblies on the clutches are
supported with caged needle bearings, and located with needle thrust bearings.
The input end gear and ring assemblies are supported and located by, and
include, a matched set of double tapered roller bearing assemblies.

Checking Oil Level

The oil level in the transmission must be checked before each use. Procedure
for checking oil is as follows:

1. Visually inspect the transmission, converter and drive line for security of
mounting. Inspect plumbing and electrical components for security of
attachment and/or leaks. Leakage must be corrected.

2. Oil level check: It is best to check the oil level after the truck has been
parked with the engine not running for at least 8 hours (or overnight).
The truck should be parked on a level surface.

a. With the engine not running, both oil level sight glass should show
full. If both glasses do not show full, add oil until both sight glasses
indicate full.

b. Set the vehicle brakes and start the engine. With the engine at
low idle for 1 minute, the transmission in neutral, and with cold oil
(10~35oC) the oil level should be at the middle of the lower sight
glass.

Do not operate the transmission with oil levels above or below the
recommended settings. Either condition can result in overheating or
loss of power and damage to the equipment. When following this oil
check procedure be sure the vehicle parking brakes are on.

input member rotates with the flywheel. The transmission system oil pumps
are geared to the input member, providing oil flow for transmission system
operation. Two pumps are mounted in tandem. One provides oil flow for the
operation of the transmission system, and the other one pumps normal torque
converter drainage back to the transmission oil sump (scavenge pump).

There are two internal clutches in the torque converter. One is a modulated
input clutch that connects the flywheel driven member to the fluid circuit impeller.
The other is the lockup clutch that connects the engine flywheel to the fluid
turbine or converter output shaft. Both of these clutches are controlled by the
electronic controller, based on conditions. There are pressure testing ports
located on the torque converter that can be used in trouble shooting certain
problems. See Figure 3 and 4 in Operation.

Power Take Off (PTO)

The power take-off is mounted on the torque converter, and is used to connect
the engine flywheel power to operate a remotely mounted pump for the vehicle.

Remote Mounted Transmission

The remote mounted transmission contains several clutches that are engaged
in combinations that determine the gear ratio that is used to drive the vehicle.
The input shaft is directly connected to the torque converter output shaft. The
transmission output shaft is directly connected to the axles of the vehicle.
Electric valves are mounted on the transmission that are energized in the proper
combination to engage the appropriate clutches. The transmission housing is
the oil sump for the transmission system. There are several oil pressure test
ports located on the transmission for use in troubleshooting certain problems.
See Figure 9 and 10 in Operation.

Transmission Hydraulic System

See the hydraulic system schematic and piping diagram in the drawing section
of this manual.

The hydraulic system provides oil at correct pressures and flows for operation
and lubrication of the transmission and torque converter. A cascading-type
system is used, wherein the demand for pressure and flow for transmission
functions are supplied in sequence from a single pump. Regulator valves control
and maintain the necessary pressures for each function. As the demand for
pressure and flow are met for one area of the system, oil is cascaded to meet
the demands of the next area. Hydraulic system components and their functions
are as follows:

Transmission Sump

The sump is located in the bottom of the transmission housing and serves as a
reservoir for all oil used in the system. Oil level is checked with two sight glasses
on the side of the transmission. Please refer to Preventative Maintenance for
oil level check and filling procedures. A suction screen installed in the reservoir
prevents debris from being drawn into the pump inlet. This screen is not
serviceable from the outside.

Pump

The pump is a positive displacement gear-type, rated at 46.5 gpm (176 L/min)
for the front element and 15.6 gpm (59 L/min) for the rear element at 2100 rpm
engine speed.

Main Pressure Regulator Valve

The main pressure regulator valve maintains main system pressures for
application of clutches. Please refer to Description and Specifications for
designed pressure limits. Main system pressure, opposed by preset spring
tension on the back side of the regulator piston, causes the valve to open and
cascade excess oil into the torque converter circuit, thereby maintaining system
pressure at the desired value. As main pressure is building up, oil passes through
an orifice into lube to provide for lubrication during start-up.

Cold Oil Relief

A spring and ball located in the main regulator valve sense pressure at the
outlet port. Excessive pressure causes the ball to open and bypass oil to the
lube circuit which protects the converter.

Converter Regulator Valve

The torque converter circuit oil pressure is regulated by the converter regulator
valve that is located in the converter housing of the torque converter. This
regulates the converter circuit outlet pressure to the desired level, and the oil is
then discharged through the oil cooler and into the lube oil circuit of the
transmission.

Lube Regulator Valve

The lube regulator valve maintains lube system pressure at the desired level.
Please refer to Description and Specifications for pressure limits. Lube is
provided for lubrication of bearings and splines, and for lubricating and cooling
clutches. The maximum lube pressure is limited by cascading the excess oil to
the transmission sump.

Transmission Range Clutch Valves

Two proportional cartridge valves are housed in each of three valve bodies that
are also the clutch shaft end caps or collectors. When a range is selected, the
valve coils for that range are energized, permitting regulated main pressure to
apply the desired clutch packs. When another range is selected, the valve
coils for the new range are energized, and the valve coils for the previous range
are de-energized, allowing the passage of clutch apply oil to the sump, thus
releasing the clutch. These valves are powered with signals that are capable
of controlling the pressures at intermediate levels for improved shift quality.

Converter Lockup Clutch and Modulated Input Clutch Valve

Two proportional cartridge valves are mounted in the converter regulator valve
body to supply pressure to the lockup clutch and to the converter input clutch.
Main pressure is supplied to this valve from the main pressure regulator on the
transmission.

Differential Clutch Apply Valve

A proportional cartridge valve is located on the front of the transmission housing,


and is used by the control system to apply the differential clutch when the operator
has selected this option, and the control senses the proper conditions.

Power Take-off Actuation Valve

An on/off solenoid is located on the power take-off clutch rate of rise valve
located on the power take-off at the right rear of the torque converter. This
solenoid supplies oil to the pilot spool and rate of rise portion of the valve,
resulting in a controlled pressure rise to the clutch. The power take-off solenoid
is energized by the control system or the operator, depending on the conditions
that exist.

Power Flow Through Transmission System

The torque converter driving ring bolts directly onto the engine flywheel. The
internal teeth of the driving ring mesh with the gear teeth on the rotating housing.
The rotating housing provides input power to the input clutch. The output of this
clutch is connected to the impeller wheel of the torque converter. Power flow
system components and their functions are as follows:

Converter Drive

When in converter drive, with the input clutch engaged, converter fluid is moved
by the impeller blades and directed against the turbine wheel blades, driving
the turbine wheel assembly. Since the turbine wheel assembly is spline
connected to the output shaft, the output shaft is driven.

After the fluid passes through the turbine wheel blades, it is redirected to the
impeller wheel blades by the stator blades. When output torque requirements
exceed input torque, the freewheel unit on the stator is locked up. However,
when output torque requirements are equal to, or less than, input torque, the
stator freewheels.

Disengaging the input clutch disconnects the impeller from the engine. The
pumps will still run at 1.282 times engine speed, and the power take-off will still
run at 1.282 times engine speed.

Lockup Clutch Drive

The lockup clutch is controlled automatically through the electronic control


system.

When the lockup clutch is engaged, power is transmitted from the rotating
housing, through the steel driving plates which are spline connected to the
rotating housing, and to the friction clutch plates by clamping action of the
engaged clutch. The friction clutch plates are spline connected to the turbine
hub. The turbine hub is spline connected to the output shaft. Thus, the lockup
clutch provides direct mechanical drive.

40 Powershift Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080


Twin Disc, Incorporated Operation

Freewheel Function

When the lockup clutch is engaged, the freewheel assembly allows the stator
to freewheel. This improves the unit efficiency. The freewheel assembly locks
the stator to the stator carrier during converter operation. This allows the torque
converter to multiply engine torque.

Transmission

Power flow is from the engine through the torque converter output shaft to the
input yoke on the front of the transmission input shaft. The three driver gears,
one on the rear of each of the two 7-inch clutch shafts and one on the rear of the
9-inch clutch shaft, are connected to their shafts. The gears on the two 7-inch
clutch shafts are connected by a tapered interference fit, and the gear on the 9-
inch clutch shaft is connected by a spline. Whenever the engine is running the
input (7-inch clutch) shaft and its driver gear will turn engine direction. The driven
7-inch clutch shaft is rotated by its interference fit driven gear, which meshes
with the input shaft driver gear, causing the gear and shaft to rotate in anti-engine
direction. If the transmission is in neutral, the power flow stops at this point. In
order to have power to the wheels, one 7-inch clutch and one 9-inch clutch must
be engaged.

Differential Clutch

The function of the differential clutch is to lock the front and rear transmission
output shafts together to assure equal delivery of power to front and rear axles
of the vehicle. The differential lock switch may be selected at any time, however
engagement of the clutch is inhibited in 4th, 5th, and 6th ranges. In neutral,
reverse, 1st, 2nd or 3rd, the differential clutch will be engaged when the
differential lock switch is turned on.

Action of the Differential (50/50) (used in 4 x 4 vehicles)

In the following discussion, the side of the transmission that is opposite the
input shaft will be referred to as Side A. The side of the transmission that the
input shaft is on will be referred to as side B.

In all ranges, input to the differential is through a driving gear on the 9-inch
clutch shaft to a driven gear bolted to the outside diameter of the differential
housing. The differential housing encloses a pinion pivot with four equally
spaced pinion pivots with a 45 beveled gear mounted on each. The four beveled
gears are in mesh with two 45o output beveled gears on opposite sides of the
pinion pivots. The front (side B) and rear (side A) output shafts are splined into
the hubs of the output beveled gears. As the differential housing turns, the pinion
pivots turn with it carrying the beveled gears in the same orbit. Because the
beveled gears are in mesh with the output beveled gears the output gears are
turned by the rotating differential housing causing the front and rear output shafts
to turn with them.

Operation

Should either output shaft meet resistance that causes it to slow down or stall,
the output gear splined to that shaft will slow down or stall. The differential
housing and pinion pivots will also continue to turn around the stalled shaft
causing the four beveled gears mounted on the pinion pivots to roll around the
stalled output gear. The rotating beveled gears now exert pressure on the
opposite output gear causing it to continue to turn at the speed and direction of
the differential housing causing the output shaft to turn as well.
This principle applies when either output shaft meets resistance so that it is
turning slower than the other. When this happens, the beveled gears on the
pinion pivots will walk around the stalled or slow output gear to compensate for
the difference in speed between that gear and the opposite output gear. When
the differential clutch is applied, the differential is locked up so that it turns en
masse and both output gears (and shafts) are forced to turn at the same speed
as the differential housing. This clutch is applied when the transmission
differential lock clutch valve is energized by the control system when a request
for differential lock is seen on the J1939 bus, and specific conditions are met.
See drawing number 1018338 in Engineering Drawings.

Action of the Differential (30/70) (used in 6 x 6 vehicles)

In the following discussion, the side of the transmission that is opposite the
input shaft will be referred to as Side A. The side of the transmission that the
input shaft is on will be referred to as side B.

In all ranges, input to the differential is through the driving gear on the 9-inch
clutch shaft to the driven gear bolted to the outside diameter of the differential
housing. The differential housing is bolted to the planet carrier. All output
torque from the range clutches passes through these driven gears turning the
differential housing and planet carrier. Within the differential are one sun gear,
one ring gear, a planet carrier, and a set of planet gears. There are two output
shafts. The sun gear is spline-connected to the rear output shaft (side A) via
the clutch spider and the clutch housing. The ring gear is spline-connected to
the front output shaft (side B).

Operation

When the planet carrier rotates, the front (side B) and rear (side A) output shafts
are rotated by the planet gear driving the sun and ring gears. If the front (side
B) output shaft meets some resistance, the planet gears will rotate inside of the
ring gear. The sun gear, planet gears, and rear (side A) output shaft will continue
to rotate. If the rear (side A) shaft is stopped and the front (side B) shaft is free,
the planet gears walk around the sun gear. The ring gear, planet gears and
front (side B) output shaft continue to rotate. This principle can be applied
when either shaft must rotate slower than the other. When the differential clutch
is applied, the differential is locked and turns en masse with both output shafts
turning at the same speed as the differential housing. This clutch is applied
when the transmission differential lock clutch valve is energized by the control
system when the differential lock switch is closed and specific conditions are
met. See drawing number 1018205 in Engineering Drawings.

D.C. Power Supply

Input power to the electronic control is supplied by the customer. Refer to drawing
#1019229, 1019230, and 1019233 in Engineering Drawings. The positive lead
should be connected directly to the positive terminal of the 12 volts DC battery
post with no other loads. The circuit protection device must not exceed time/
current characteristics of an ATO type fuse. The neutral disconnect switch is
used to turn the disconnectable solenoid power on and off. The system ground
is through a single wire connected directly to the battery negative. The electronic
control is active when applied voltage is between 10 and 28 volts dc.

Note: The 10 amp input power circuit protection device must


not exceed the time/current characteristics of an ATO type
fuse. If the installed device is larger or slower responding
than specified, the wiring could be damaged and the
system made inoperable.

Interruption Of Power

1. Interruption of power to the electronic control for 100 milliseconds or


more will require resetting the input power to the electronic control by
cycling the key switch once the input voltage has been restored above
the 11 volt dc level.

2. No outputs are enabled unless the selector lever is in N on power up.


This means that after regaining power from some power fault, the
selector lever must be returned to N even if the vehicle is moving.
Movement of the selector out of N will not be acknowledged unless the
selector lever has been in N for more than 0.25 seconds. This is to
ensure that the shift is intentional.

3. When the selector lever is moved out of N after a power interruption, the
electronic control will calculate a gear ratio using the input and output
speed, and shift into the correct range. If a speed sensor error exists,
the transmission will be shifted into 6th range.

Note: If the vehicle is moving, the selector lever should only be


moved to engage a range in the direction the vehicle is
moving. For example, if the vehicle is rolling forward move
the selector lever to a forward position only. Requesting
a direction change following a power interruption could
cause serious damage to the transmission or drive train.

Electronic Control System Overview

The electronic control system monitors and coordinates functions of the vehicle,
torque converter, and transmission. Various external components are used to
provide inputs for the control as well as outputs for operation of the transmission/
converter system. Different operating characteristics are obtained through the
positioning of various input switches to the control system.

See Figures 1 and 2 in Operation.

The electronic control system consists of the following components:

Cables

The cables connect the components of the electronic control system to each
other, and also to the sensors, valves, and switches that are located on the
various components in the power transmission system.

Manual Override Switch

The manual override switch is used if normal automatic operation is not possible
because of certain control problems. It allows for limited operation of the vehicle
for emergency or come home operation.

Never actuate the manual override switch, except when the selector is
in neutral with the vehicle stopped, and the engine speed is at idle. The
use of this switch allows vehicle power in 3rd range forward, neutral, or
reverse. It also allows manual selection of the transmission differential
clutch and PTO.

The switches that are contained in the range selector are shown in drawing
number 1019229, 1019230, and 1019233 in Engineering Drawings. The
selected touch pad button communicates to the control the operator’s request
for a desired operation. The control will respond when conditions are correct
for a change. For example, the vehicle may be moving forward and the operator
may select R, but the control will not engage reverse until the transmission
output speed (forward direction) is low enough so the power train will not be
damaged.

The selector must be in N when the starter is engaged (so vehicle does not
lunge forward or reverse unexpectedly when the engine starts). The switch in
the selector closes in neutral to supply power to the start switch. If the selector
is not in N, no power is supplied to the start switch, and the starter will not
engage even if the operator turns or presses the start switch. The electronic
control is not involved in the neutral start feature, although the control logic will
also inhibit range engagement if N is not selected at power up.

A neutral disconnect switch, in the selector, is open when the selector is in N so


the electronic control is not able to energize most of the solenoids. This provides
a redundant neutral for safety - control cannot engage transmission clutches
when the selector is in N.

The reverse alarm is activated when the selector is placed in the R position.
Power is supplied to the reverse alarm switch in the selector. When the selector
is in the R position, the switch closes and passes the power on to activate the
reverse alarm. Note that the electronic control is not involved in operation of
the reverse alarm, only the switch in the selector and the wires connected to it.

fluid. The PTO clutch is engaged, and the engine speed electronically controlled.

SP--Stationary pump mode Selected

This is used to operate the pump with the vehicle stopped. The PTO clutch is

from the transmission solenoids. The transmission must remain in neutral, and
the engine speed controlled manually.

Differential Lock Switch

The differential lock switch is a normally open switch that when closed signals
the control to engage the inter-axle differential clutch. The differential clutch is
controlled by a clutch valve coil and will not be engaged if the differential lock
switch is open (not selected). When the differential lock switch is closed it
signals the control of the operator’s request to turn on the differential lock clutch
in the transmission (locks the front and rear output shafts of the transmission
together). The control will turn the differential clutch valve coil on if the control
has reverse, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd range engaged. The control will not turn the
differential clutch valve coil on if it has 4th, 5th, or 6th range engaged.

Speed Sensors

A voltage signal is generated as each tooth of a gear moves past the sensor.
This results in an ac voltage signal with a frequency determined by the frequency
of a tooth passing the sensor. The control is programmed with the number of
teeth on the gear under the sensor and converts the frequency of pulses to
determine gear/shaft RPM. The input speed sensor is calibrated to measure
torque converter output speed (equals transmission input speed). The sensor
is mounted on the upper part of the transmission. The output speed sensor
measures output speed of one of the output shafts on the transmission. The
control uses the input and output speed information when determining
appropriate transmission range, engagement of the lockup clutch, etc.
Resistance of the sensors is approximately 1100 ohms. The control does not
measure the voltage of the speed sensor signals; it only uses the frequency of
the pulses. The amplitude (voltage) of the signal is determined by the velocity
of the gear tooth as it passes the sensor and the gap between the gear tooth
and the end of the sensor. The sensor must be close to the gear to generate a
signal that is large enough to reach the control where the frequency is measured.
Measuring the voltage of the speed sensor signal would only be useful for
verifying that the sensor is generating a signal.

The control checks resistance of speed sensor circuits frequently. If the value
is found to be out of range, a display message is shown on the display to alert
the operator. This could indicate a fault in a wire to the sensor or in the sensor
itself. The control also calculates what range is engaged based on what
solenoids are energized and the transmission ratio. It alerts the operator if it
does not receive a frequency signal from one of the sensors when it expects to
see a signal. For example, the control will show a display message if it sees a
signal indicating output speed, a range is engaged, and it sees no signal from
the turbine/transmission input speed sensor.

52 Powershift Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080


Twin Disc, Incorporated Operation

Display

The dot matrix liquid crystal display (LCD) is usually installed on the vehicle
dash. It indicates the transmission range that the control has engaged. It is
also used to inform the operator if the control has detected a fault in one of the
external circuits, and is used during the diagnostics test to communicate with
the operator. Two membrane switches are housed in the display for diagnostic
purposes. The diagnostic test mode is entered by simultaneously depressing
these up and down arrow buttons while cycling power to the control via the key
switch.

Clutch Valve Coils

Identical cartridge valves are used throughout the transmission system with the
exception of the pto solenoid. The cartridge valves are identified as
transmission range clutch valve coils, #1 thru #6, transmission differential lock
clutch valve coil, converter modulating clutch valve coil, and converter lockup
clutch valve coil. They are used for controlling high pressure oil being directed
to engage clutches. They are controlled with a signal type that can control
pressure full off, full on, or at intermediate levels as needed for proper vehicle
shifting and control. The oil flow/pressure supplied to the clutch pack can be
precisely controlled with these valves. This is especially important when the
control changes transmission ranges - turning some clutches off and others on.
The pto solenoid is controlled by a full on or off signal.

The resistance of these solenoid coils ranges approximately between 5 and


11 ohms depending on temperature.

The control is programmed with the appropriate resistance of each of the valves
and the wires to/from the valve and checks the external circuits continuously. If
it detects a value that is out of range, it shows a display message on the display
to alert the operator to check the circuit and the valve. This will alert the operator
if a wire is cut or shorted, or if the connector plug becomes disconnected, etc.

Filter Sensor

This sensor reacts to the pressure drop across the oil filter (inlet pressure vs.
outlet pressure). When the pressure drop reaches a high level (filter starting to
plug) the control will alert operator with a display message.

Transmission Oil Temperature Sensor

This sensor is located in the transmission clutch oil supply circuit. It is used to
modify shift profiles to compensate for the affects of temperature. The sensor
is a variable resistance element that provides an analog signal to the control.

System Oil Temperature Sensor

This sensor is located at the outlet of the torque converter to monitor the highest
temperature level and alert the operator of high temperature conditions. The

Accelerator Pedal Sensor (customer supplied)

Potentiometer linked to the accelerator pedal mechanism which provides the


control a voltage signal that indicates the position of the accelerator pedal.
The control requires that the potentiometer be set while in Diagnostics test 7
with a minimum voltage of 0.5 volts dc at idle position, and no more than 4.5
volts dc at full throttle position. A 1.5 volts dc minimum difference is required
between idle and full throttle position. Throttle position tells the control if the
operator is trying to accelerate (pedal is partially depressed) or if the throttle
pedal is released indicating coasting or deceleration. Shifts may be made at
different points or may be quicker (harsher) or slower (softer) depending on a
variety of inputs the control is monitoring.

Output Signal for Engine Control and Speedometer

A pulsed output signal equal to 15 pulses per output shaft revolution is provided

System Operation

Start Up

1. Selector must be in N. This closes the neutral start switch in the selector,
which supplies power to the start switch.

2. Activate the start switch to supply electrical power to the starter circuit.

3. When the operator releases the start switch, the switch returns to the on
or run position.

Vehicle Operating Modes

There are five modes of operation: Drive mode, Stationary Pump mode, Work
(pump and roll) mode, manual override mode, and Diagnostic mode.

Normal Operation in Drive Mode

Electrical power is supplied to some electronic control circuits at all times.


Power is supplied to the disconnectable valve coil circuit when a range is
selected. The electronic control does a self test sequence, and upon passing
this, looks at the various input signals. If the range selector is in N, the operator
is allowed to start the engine. The electronic control continuously monitors the
various inputs, and outputs to prevent improper operation of the transmission
system.

When the operator selects a maximum forward drive range (D), the electronic
control monitors the transmission output speed to select the appropriate
transmission clutches to engage. If the vehicle is stopped, and the transmission
input speed is below a preset speed condition, the transmission will go into 2nd
range. Note that if the differential lock switch has been selected, the
transmission will go into 1st range. The transmission will then upshift and
downshift automatically, between the maximum gear selected and 2nd based
on the transmission input and output speeds, throttle position, and engine torque
signal level, and the converter lockup clutch will be applied to obtain direct
drive through the torque converter. If the differential lock switch has been
selected, the transmission will upshift and downshift automatically between the
maximum gear selected and 1st. The control monitors the throttle pedal position,
and normally, will not allow automatic upshifts if the pedal is not applied. The
display shows the letter D and the corresponding range that the transmission
is in while in forward, and R1 when in reverse.

Selection of N, followed by D (i.e. D to N to D) while the vehicle remains in


motion will cause the transmission to be engaged in a range that is based on a
gear ratio that is calculated from input speed and output speed. Subsequent
automatic upshifts or downshifts will be made based on selector lever position,
output shaft speed and throttle position. If one or both of the speed signals are
faulty, the transmission will be shifted into the highest possible range.
If the operator selects N while the vehicle is moving forward, the transmission
will shift into neutral, and the electronic control will monitor the transmission
output speed. If a forward range is then selected, the electronic control will
calculate the appropriate gear range, and shift to it regardless of the maximum
forward range selected. If the operator selects the reverse direction while still
moving forward, the transmission will remain in neutral until the transmission

Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated

output speed slows to a predetermined speed to prevent damage to the


transmission.

The differential lock may be applied in all ranges except 4th, 5th, and 6th. In 1st,
2nd, 3rd, neutral, and reverse, the differential lock clutch will engage immediately
upon closure of the differential lock switch.

Examples of Operation
Basic: Vehicle is on a paved road. Differential lock is not selected. Operator
starts truck. The operator selects reverse. Control looks at all of the inputs and
decides it is appropriate to engage reverse range in the transmission. The
control energizes two transmission range clutch valves to engage two clutch
packs in the transmission. See drawing number 1019229, 1019230, or
1019233 in Engineering Drawings. Appropriate valves for reverse are #4 and
#5. Two clutch packs must be engaged in the transmission to transmit power
to the wheels. Operator releases vehicle brakes. Operator depresses
accelerator, engine provides power to the torque converter, output of torque
converter provides power to the transmission, output shaft provides power to
the driveshafts to move the vehicle in reverse direction. The vehicle speed will
respond to the operator moving the accelerator pedal or activating the brakes.

Operator stops the vehicle using vehicle brakes.

Operator selects the D position. Control looks at inputs, and energizes two
transmission range clutch valves to engage 2nd range. (1st range used in
certain conditions only - differential lock selected or 1 selected). Control will
respond to changes in the inputs. Operator depresses accelerator pedal -
power is provided to wheels. When vehicle speed (transmission output speed)
reaches an appropriate point, the control will engage 3rd range. As the vehicle
continues to accelerate (operator still pressing accelerator), control will engage
higher ranges as they become appropriate. With D selected, the control may
engage ranges up to 6th range. Converter lockup clutch may also be engaged
in all of the ranges when conditions are appropriate. Converter lockup clutch
connects the converter output directly to the engine through the clutch pack,
bypassing the use of the torque converter circuit to transmit engine power directly
to the transmission. This is an efficient operating condition and the transmission
input RPM will equal engine RPM. Control will continue to respond to changes
in inputs. If control has 6th range engaged and the truck approaches a hill, the
vehicle may slow down. Control will engage 5th if output speed reaches
appropriate point.

If operator stops pressing the accelerator and presses the brakes, the control
will select appropriate transmission range as the output speed decreases, all
the way down to 2nd range if the vehicle slows that much. If operator presses

58 Powershift Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080


Twin Disc, Incorporated Operation

the accelerator, the control will continue to select the appropriate transmission
range as the speed changes. If the vehicle is rolling when the operator depresses
the accelerator, the control sees that the operator is trying to accelerate (pedal
depressed), and it may decide it is appropriate to select a lower range to
provide quicker acceleration.

Note: Operator interface consists of having the selector in a


forward position, pressing/releasing the accelerator
pedal, using vehicle brakes as needed. The control will
automatically select and engage appropriate transmission
ranges and engage the lockup clutch when conditions are
appropriate.

Normal Operation in Stationary Mode

Stationary pump mode is accomplished by the operator selecting SP on the


range selector. The power take off will be engaged, and the stationary
disconnect switch contacts in the range selector will be opened, removing all
power from the transmission solenoids. The engine speed will be controlled
manually during this mode.

Normal Operation in Work Mode

The work or pump and roll mode is available in all transmission ranges, and
can be entered at any time that the vehicle is in the drive mode. In this mode,
the vehicle’s engine speed is controlled independent of the throttle pedal. The
vehicle speed and tractive effort is controlled by the throttle pedal that is now
controlling the converter input modulated clutch, which is allowed to slip as
necessary to control the vehicle speed. Work mode is allowed in all ranges,
and the transmission will upshift and downshift as determined by the vehicle
speed.

The converter lockup clutch is not applied in the work mode.

The display shows the letter P and the corresponding range that the transmission
is in. Drive mode is available at any time while operating in the pump and roll
mode.

When the drive mode is selected, the electronic control monitors the vehicle
output speed, and if it is above a predetermined level, engine speed control is
immediately given back to the throttle pedal, and the transmission shifted into

Powershift Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080 59


Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated

the appropriate range for the vehicle speed. If the vehicle output speed is
below this level, engine control is immediately given back to the throttle pedal,
the display shows blank, and the transmission held in neutral for a short period
of time before shifting into the appropriate gear range based on the output
speed. As soon as the transmission is shifted into a gear, the display will again
show D and the corresponding range.

Manual Override Mode

Manual override mode allows limited operation of the transmission in neutral,


3rd and reverse when difficulties with the controller occur. In manual override
mode, the controller is unpowered, the accelerator pedal controls engine speed,
and the modulated converter clutch is fully engaged.

To engage manual override: stop the vehicle, place the selector in N, and rotate
the override switch to the manual override position. To move the vehicle forward,
wait until the engine speed is at idle, then move the range selector to D6. To
move the vehicle backward, wait until the engine speed is at idle, then move
the range selector to R. To limit vehicle speed, apply vehicle brakes. To increase
vehicle speed, depress the accelerator pedal. Moving the range selector to N,
disengages the transmission clutches.

To engage the PTO, select the PR button on the range selector. Both vehicle
speed and PTO speed are controlled by the vehicle accelerator pedal position.

To engage the differential clutch, move the differential clutch switch to the lock
position. Both vehicle speed and PTO speed are controlled by the vehicle
accelerator pedal position.

Operating the engine at high speed with the vehicle brakes applied,
stalls the torque converter and generates considerable heat in the
transmission hydraulic circuit.

If greater power take-off (pump) speed is needed, place the selector in N while
applying vehicle brakes and use the vehicle accelerator pedal to increase engine
speed and pump flow.

To disengage manual override and return to normal controller operation, stop


the vehicle, place the selector in N, allow the engine speed to return to idle,
rotate the manual override mode switch to the normal operating position and
repower the controller.

60 Powershift Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080


Twin Disc, Incorporated Operation

No direction change inhibit occurs in manual override mode. Selected


ranges will be engaged immediately, regardless of engine speed or
vehicle direction of travel.

Direction changes should only be performed with the engine at idle


and the vehicle stopped. Failure to do so could cause harsh
transmission engagement or engagement in a direction opposite of
vehicle travel, either of which could cause injury to personnel or damage
to equipment.

Diagnostics Test Mode

Diagnostics mode is available for controller system tests, and for ease in certain
troubleshooting procedures. These tests verify operation of the controller,
integrity and function of the external circuits, and provide a means to energize
clutches individually. Fifteen separate tests can be individually selected and
performed via the display unit. Please refer to Troubleshooting for the correct

Checking Oil Level

The oil level in the transmission must be checked before each use. Procedure
for checking oil is as follows:

1. Visually inspect the transmission, converter and drive line for security of
mounting. Inspect plumbing and electrical components for security of
attachment and/or leaks. Leakage must be corrected.

2. Oil level check: It is best to check the oil level after the truck has been
parked with the engine not running for at least 8 hours (or overnight).
The truck should be parked on a level surface.

a. With the engine not running, both oil level sight glass should show
full. If both glasses do not show full, add oil until both sight glasses
indicate full.

b. Set the vehicle brakes and start the engine. With the engine at
low idle for 1 minute, the transmission in neutral, and with cold oil
(10~35oC) the oil level should be at the middle of the lower sight
glass.

Do not operate the transmission with oil levels above or below the
recommended settings. Either condition can result in overheating or
loss of power and damage to the equipment. When following this oil
check procedure be sure the vehicle parking brakes are on.s oil check
procedure be sure the vehicle parking brakes are on.

64 Power Shift Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080


Twin Disc, Incorporated Preventative Maintenance

Adding Oil

The oil fill plug is located on the rear face of the transmission. Refer to
Figure 5 in Operation. Add or remove oil as needed to set proper level.

Do not operate the transmission with oil levels above or below the
recommended settings. Either condition can result in overheating or
loss of power and damage to the equipment. When following this oil
check procedure be sure the vehicle parking brakes are on. The vehicle
wheels should also be blocked or the truck parked up against an
immovable object.

Oil/Filter Change Interval

Change the transmission oil after every 1200 hours of operation. Change
the oil filter after each 300 hours of operation or sooner if the filter pressure
indicator shows TRAN OIL FILTER in the display.

Note: The TRAN OIL FILTER message is triggered by a switch


that senses pressure drop across the filter. As the filter
fills with contamination the pressure drop increases. A
filter may show an TRAN OIL FILTER message under
cold oil conditions at high engine speeds even though
the filter is still usable. With oil temperature between 0°
and 35° C at low idle engine speed and with oil at 80° to
100° C at any engine speed the TRAN OIL FILTER
message should not appear. If it does come on under
these conditions, the oil filter must be changed as soon
as possible.

When changing the oil in the transmission system drain the transmission
sump and the engine flywheel housing. Change the oil filter.

When installing new units or newly rebuilt units it may be necessary to replace
the oil filter after a few hours of operation. Monitor the filter pressure indicator
for the TRAN OIL FILTER message.

Periodic Visual Inspection

Periodically, inspect all transmission and converter mounting points for


security and/or damage. Re-torque any loose mounting bolts and replace
any damaged parts. Check the drive line fasteners at the converter and
transmission yokes.

Check all electrical wiring components (switches, magnetic pickups, etc.)


and connections for security, chafing and/or other damage. Tighten loose
connections and replace any damaged parts. Reroute or otherwise secure
wiring to prevent chafing damage.

Control Cables and Wiring

Inspect and care for control cables and harnesses as follows:

1. The connector end of the control cable or harness must be secured


to its own support six inches back from each connector. The cable or
harness must be secured at 18-inch intervals to its own frame supports
between the cable or harness ends.

2. Keep cable or harness away from hot surfaces, moving parts and oil
locations.

3. Attach cable or harness to machine, making the connector the highest


point of the cable. If not possible, install cable or harness with drip
loop.

4. Protect cable or harness with grommet, loom or flex guard at any rub
point, particularly when passing a sheet metal hole.

5. Locate cable or harness away from potential hazards. For example,


a screw cutting through the jacket and shorting a conductor to the
chassis, welding, drilling, etc.

6. Prevent the cable from becoming a step or hand rail.

7. When mating connectors, make sure they will mate properly. Locate
and use the connector orientation key.

8. Circular connectors must be hand tightened and safety wired if possible.

9. Cable or harness bend radius must not be less than twenty times the
cable diameter.

10. Avoid twisting or winding cable along its axis during installation or
removal.

11. Whenever mating connectors, always inspect each for damage or


defects. For example: bent pins, pushed-back sockets, broken keys,
etc.

12. Check that all circular connectors are hand tight. Check that sure-seal
connectors have clip/clamps in place. Check that Weather Pack, Metri
Pack and Deutsch connectors are snapped together.

13. Check the cable or harness tie downs. Keep cable securely fastened
to machine frame.

14. Check the condition of the cable or harness at any rub point and
wherever the cable passes through a sheet metal hole.

15. Check cable or harness for cracks, effects of vibration, abrasion,

Hydraulic System Pressure Checks

At the time of each transmission oil change the main and lube pressure of the
transmission should be checked. See Figures 3, 4, 9, and 10 in Operation for
pressure test point locations.

Prior to making pressure checks, ensure that the transmission is filled with
oil of the correct type.

Pressures should be measured with gages or instrumentation that


allows the technician to be at a safe distance from the vehicle tires.
Gages must be installed while the engine is not running. Pressure
checks are made with the engine running, the transmission in neutral,
and the vehicle parking brakes on. No one must be allowed in front of,
nor behind the vehicle nor near the vehicle tires.

Check main and lube system pressures as follows:

1. Select desired check point and install 0-300 psi (0-2000 kPa) pressure
gauge to check main and clutch apply pressures, and 0-100 psi (0-
800 kPa) pressure gauge for lube system.

2. Apply the vehicle parking brakes and start the engine. Place the
transmission system into Diagnostics Test 9, and shift to D. This stalls
the torque converter output with the transmission in 5th range, thus limiting
the amount of torque available to the drive axles. Bring the engine up to
1500 rpm. Allow the transmission oil to heat to 80° to 100° C. Shift into
neutral periodically to allow circulation of the oil within the transmission
system.

3. Refer to pressure requirements in Description and Specifications.

2. Vehicle will not move in forward or reverse when selected

Note: If the display is blank, follow the procedures in Step 1.

Note: If the display shows N when N has been selected, and


shows either R or D2 when selected, then the display and
control unit are functioning properly.

Possible causes

Low Transmission Oil Level


With the engine not running the oil level should be above the top sight
level gauge. Start the engine and with the transmission in neutral, the
engine at low idle and the vehicle brakes locked, watch the transmission
oil level. The oil level should drop to the normal operating range within
10 to 15 seconds.

If the oil level is low, add oil to bring to proper operating level. If vehicle
now drives properly, low oil level was the cause of malfunction.

If oil level is high and does not drop when the engine is running, either
the oil level was set over full or the main pump is not supplying oil.

Failed Main Pump


Since the vehicle will not move, it is possible that the pump is not
supplying oil. Check main pressure with a pressure gage at the
transmission main pressure test port “X”. At low idle, while in neutral,
main pressure should be a minimum of 205 psi. If main pressure is at or
near 0 psi, the pump is not supplying oil to the transmission.

Pump Suction Leak


Check for leaks in the suction hose between the pump inlet and the
transmission. Suction leaks can be difficult to find. They may not leak
oil out but they may allow air into the pump causing the pump to loose
the ability to pump oil. Look for loose hose clamps, loose hydraulic
fittings, or worn spots in the suction hose. If no pump suction leaks are
found, remove and replace the main transmission pump mounted on
the torque converter.

Failed Clutch Solenoid


If there is partial or full pressure on a clutch that is not selected even
when the opposite clutch on the same shaft is not selected, then remove
and inspect the selector valve assembly. Check for a valve spool that
may be stuck in the “engaged” position. If the solenoid is good, remove
the shaft end cover and check for damaged or worn seal rings near the
end of the shaft.

Failed Clutch Pack

DO NOT GET UNDER THE VEHICLE FOR THIS TEST!

If the oil level is correct but the vehicle will not move, start the
engine and while at low idle and with all vehicle brakes on, shift
out of N into D, and then R. With the vehicle operator still in the
cab, an assistant should stand off to the side of the vehicle in a
position where the drive shaft between the converter and
transmission can be seen. Use a mirror under the vehicle if
necessary.

When N is selected on the range selector, and N showing on the display,


the drive shaft between the converter and the transmission should be
rotating. If the drive shaft is not rotating when in the N position, the
transmission is locked-up internally or the torque converter is not
transmitting power. When R or D is selected on the range selector, and
R1 or D2 is displayed, the drive shaft should come to a stop quickly. If
the drive shaft stops but the vehicle does not move, the transmission
may be locked-up internally. If the drive shaft does not come to a stop
when shifted out of N, one or more of the transmission clutches or the
converter modulated input clutch are not engaged properly. Further
testing is required to identify the problem.

Install pressure test fittings at each clutch pressure test port. See the
test port locations in Operation. Go to Test 8 of the control system tests.
With the engine running, verify that the pressure at each clutch is at full
pressure when selected and at zero pressure when not selected.

76 Power Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080


Twin Disc, Incorporated Troubleshooting

If there is partial pressure on a clutch that is not selected only when the
opposite clutch on the same shaft is selected, remove the shaft end
cover and check for damaged or worn seal rings on the shaft. For this
reason, it is important to observe pressure on the clutch when the
opposite clutch on the same shaft is engaged.

If no problems are found during the clutch pressure test, it is likely that a
clutch pack has failed. Dark or burnt smelling oil is an indication of a
failed clutch. A clutch pack may be seized, causing the clutch to be
locked up. Or, the clutch pack may be worn out causing it to slip. The
transmission must be removed to repair either condition.

Locked Axle or Brakes


If no problems are detected during the clutch pressure tests, and the
transmission input driveline comes to a stop when D or R is selected,
the cause of the problem could be caused by brakes that are applied or
an axle problem. The vehicle must be jacked up to allow free movement
of the wheels. The tires should rotate freely if the brakes are not applied.

3. Vehicle only moves in forward

Possible causes:

Failed Reverse Transmission Range Clutch Valve # 4


If the display indicates R but the vehicle will not move in reverse, run
Test 8 and check pressure to the reverse clutch pack.

If no reverse clutch pressure when engaged, then inspect, repair or


replace the reverse clutch solenoid.

Failed Reverse Clutch


If reverse clutch pressure is good when engaged but the transmission
input drive shaft does not stop rotating when R is selected, then the
reverse clutch pack is slipping internally. Dark or burnt oil is confirmation
of clutch damage. Remove the transmission to repair.

If reverse clutch pressure is good when engaged and the drive shaft into
the transmission does stop when R is selected, but the vehicle does not
move, it is possible that the opposite clutch on the same shaft is seized
causing the transmission to stall. Run Test 8 and monitor pressures.
Remove the transmission to repair.

78 Power Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080


Twin Disc, Incorporated Troubleshooting

4. Vehicle only moves in reverse

Possible causes:

Failed 2nd/5th Transmission Range Clutch Valve # 1


If the display indicates D2 but the vehicle will not move in forward, run
Test 8 and check pressure to the 2nd and 5th range clutch pack.

If no pressure when engaged, then inspect, repair or replace the clutch


valve.

Failed 2nd/5th Range Clutch


If the 2nd/5th clutch pressure is good when engaged but the drive shaft
into the transmission does not stop when D is selected, then the 2nd/5th
clutch pack is slipping internally. Dark or burnt oil is confirmation of
clutch damage. Remove the transmission for repair.

If the 2nd/5th clutch pressure is good when engaged and the drive shaft
into the transmission does stop when D is selected, but the vehicle does
not move, it is possible that the opposite clutch on the same shaft is
seized causing the transmission to stall. Remove the transmission to
repair.

As additional troubleshooting methods, try other selector positions or


operating modes. This process of elimination will help to identify a failed
clutch pack.

Select 1 rather than D on the selector.


D starts the truck moving in 2nd range but 1 starts the truck moving in
1st range. If the truck will drive in 1st but not 2nd range, then the low
range 9" clutch is good and the 2nd/5th range clutch is likely bad. If the
truck will not move in 1st, 2nd, or reverse, the low range 9" pack is failed.
Check pressure on the low range 9" pack.

Go into Test 9 and select D on the selector.


This puts the transmission in 5th range. If the vehicle drives in 5th but
not reverse, 1st or 2nd, then it is likely that the low range 9" pack has
failed. Check pressure on the low range 9" pack.

Do not drive the vehicle more than a few feet in Test 9.

Power Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080 79


Troubleshooting Twin Disc, Incorporated

5. Vehicle will not upshift into the upper ranges

Possible Causes:

Low Engine Power


With the selector in N and the vehicle brakes on, fully press the throttle
pedal. Maximum engine speed should agree with the manufacturers
no-load engine specification.

With the transmission in Test 9, apply the vehicle parking brakes and
the foot brakes. Shift the selector to D (transmission will be in 5th
range) and fully depress the throttle pedal. The loaded engine speed
(loaded against the torque converter) should agree with engine
application specifications.

If the engine speeds do not agree with engine specifications it is possible


that the engine is not performing as expected.

Poor Engine Flywheel Scavenge


Another possibility is that the engine flywheel housing is running with too
much residual oil. The lube oil and normal leakage from the torque
converter must be removed (scavenged) from the flywheel housing and
returned to the transmission sump. This is done with the scavenge pump
mounted on the torque converter. If the oil is not completely scavenged
from the flywheel housing, the excess oil will cause drag on the engine.
This will create both heat and loss of power.

Poor flywheel housing scavenging can be detected by looking for heat


discolored paint on the torque converter housing or on the transmission
at the scavenge oil return port area. Or, after running the engine at low
idle for a few minutes, shut the engine off, set the parking brakes on and
feel the transmission housing in the area of the scavenge oil return port.
If this area is much hotter than the other areas of the transmission, the
scavenge return system is not working properly.

Inspect and clean the strainer screen at the inlet side of the scavenge
pump.

Disconnect the hose at the outlet side of the scavenge pump and direct
it to a bucket. Start the engine and observe if oil is coming from the
pump. Initially the hose should run full until the oil from the flywheel housing
is evacuated. While the hose is running full, catch the oil in a 2 liter or ½
gallon container and measure the time to fill the container. At 700 RPM,
the pump should deliver 19.7 liter/minute (5.2Gal/minute) or fill the
container in about 6 seconds. When the flywheel housing is evacuated,
the hose should flow a mixture of air and oil. If the pump outlet is below
the expected value, check for damaged or loose hose or fittings in the
suction side of the scavenge pump. Also, check the drain port at the
bottom of the engine flywheel housing for obstructions. Replace the
scavenge pump if necessary.

Failed Converter
If the pump continues to deliver a solid stream of oil and the pump is
delivering as expected , it is likely that the leakage from the torque
converter is greater than normal and the scavenge pump can not keep
up. The torque converter must be removed for repair. Raise engine rpm
to approximately 1000 rpm and run for several minutes. Repeat the oil
flow measurement at this engine rpm. A solid oil stream at this rpm
supports the decision to remove the torque converter because of
excessive leakage.

6. Converter/transmission does not go into converter lockup

Repeat the engine performance and flywheel housing scavenge checks


as in step 5.

Other possible causes:

Lockup Clutch Solenoid


With the engine running at low idle go into Test 8, and select LOCKUP
to verify that the converter lockup clutch pressure is following the pressure
versus current %. Observe main pressure at the same time. Follow the
instructions as outlined in the electronic test mode section.

If lockup clutch pressure is low but main pressure remains normal, replace
the proportional valve on the converter.

Lockup Clutch
If lockup clutch pressure is low and main pressure drops significantly as
lockup is applied, then an internal leak in the lockup clutch apply section
is likely. The converter must be removed for repair.

82 Power Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080


Twin Disc, Incorporated Troubleshooting

7. Shifts harsh into certain ranges

Possible causes:

Improper Main Pressure

Improper Speed Signal

Improper Throttle Position Signal or Engine Load Signal

Worn Clutch Pack


Check for dark or burnt smelling oil.

Defective Transmission Temperature Sensor


Go into Test 7 to verify proper display values from the throttle position
sensor and the transmission temperature sensor. Replace the
temperature sensor if necessary.

Slow Response from Solenoid Valve


Select Test 8 to verify the proper pressure versus % current for the
clutches. Use the MODULATE option and observe the pressure rise
and drop during the ramp test. Watch main pressure at the same time.
If main pressure drops and stays low when a clutch is engaged, there
may be an internal leak to the clutch. Remove the shaft end cover and
inspect the piston rings. If main pressure drops only for a split second
and then recovers to full, but the clutch pressure is still low, check or
replace clutch range valves.

8. Transmission and/or torque converter oil runs hot

Possible causes:

Too Much Oil in Transmission


Adjust the transmission oil to the proper fill level.

Poor Scavenge from Engine Flywheel


Follow engine flywheel scavenge checks as outlined in step 5.

Low Oil Flow Through the Converter and Cooler


Measure transmission main and lube pressures and converter outlet
pressure. Low pressure, especially low lube pressure is an indication
of low oil flow through the torque converter. Replace the transmission
main pump on the torque converter.

Cooler Not Working Properly


Check vehicle cooling system.

84 Power Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080


Twin Disc, Incorporated Troubleshooting

9. Vehicle is poor in performance, lacks power

Possible causes:

Poor Engine Flywheel Scavenge


Run flywheel scavenge checks and engine performance checks as
outlined in step 5.

Engine Not Performing Properly

Too Much Oil in Transmission


Adjust transmission oil level.

Low Converter Outlet Pressure


Measure converter outlet pressure. With the transmission in neutral and
the vehicle parking brakes applied, measure converter outlet pressure
at low engine idle speed and at 2100 RPM. Converter outlet pressure
should be 50 to 70 psi (345 to 483 kPa) at low idle and 70 to 90 psi
(483 to 621 kPa) at 2100 RPM. Values will vary somewhat with oil
temperature. Pressure well below specification will produce poor
converter performance. Check the converter pressure regulator for a
broken spring or stuck spool.

Check the transmission lube pressure as well. Low lube pressure is an


indication of low transmission main pump flow. Replace the main pump.

Power Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080 85


Troubleshooting Twin Disc, Incorporated

10. Transmission system loses oil

Possible causes:

Leaks in Hoses and Fittings


Check all hoses and fittings for leaks. Repair as needed.

Seal Leak Between Engine and Torque Converter


Check the engine oil. If the transmission continues to lose oil and the
engine gains oil, it is likely that the engine crankshaft oil seal at the rear
of the engine is leaking. The converter must be removed from the truck
and the engine crankshaft oil seal replaced.

11. Transmission inter-axle differential action not present

Possible causes:

Transmission Differential Seized


Remove the output shaft driveline from either end of the transmission
with the engine off. The transmission output yoke should be free to turn
when a torque of 50 lb. ft. is applied. If it will not turn, the differential has
internal damage such as the clutch. Remove the transmission to repair.
If the differential is free to turn, but does not turn when the engine is
running, clutch may be applied due to a faulty solenoid valve.

86 Power Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080


Twin Disc, Incorporated Troubleshooting

12. Inter-axle differential not locking up when selected

Possible causes:

No Pressure to Differential Clutch, Failed Differential Clutch


Pack
Disconnect the output shaft driveline from one of the ends of the
transmission. Completely remove the input driveline between the torque
converter and transmission. With the engine running, the vehicle brakes
applied, and the differential clutch applied in Test 8, measure pressure
in differential test port as shown in Figure 10 in Operation. With correct
pressure, the transmission output yoke should not be able to be rotated
when torque is applied. If the yoke can be rotated while the differential
clutch is pressurized, remove the transmission to repair.

13. No vehicle ground speed in work mode

Possible causes:

Converter Modulated Clutch Pressure Incorrect


It may be necessary to monitor the clutch apply pressure to the Modulated
Input Clutch, Clutch 5 and Clutch 6 to ascertain release of Clutch 6 and
the increase in the Modulated Input Clutch pressure when throttle is
applied while in the work mode. Refer to Pressure Test of System in
Troubleshooting.

Modulated Clutch Failed


Select Test 8 to verify the proper pressure versus % current for the
clutches. Use the MODULATE option and observe the pressure rise
and drop during the ramp test. Run Test 8, as identified in
Troubleshooting, to determine if the problem is caused by the solenoid
or due to an internal mechanical failure within the torque converter.

Internal Braking Action of Transmission Not Releasing.

14. Engine Cranking Problems

Vehicle engine cranking system and power supply is mentioned here,


because the customer supplied range selector contains a neutral start
switch and vehicle circuitry supplies input power to the transmission
control.

The Engine must ONLY Crank when Neutral is Selected.

Any engine cranking problems must be investigated using the vehicle wiring
schematic as a guide.

88 Power Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080


Twin Disc, Incorporated Troubleshooting

15. Vibrations in vehicle

Possible causes:

Unbalanced or Bent Drive Shaft


Inspect the input drive shaft between the torque converter and the
transmission. Look for bad universal joint assemblies. Verify that the
universal joints are phased properly (universal joint yokes at each end
of the center section must be parallel with each other).

Inspect cross and bearing journals for brinelling or other damage.

With the selector in the N position, run the engine speed up slowly. If
there is vibration present in the speed range, the drive shaft between
the torque converter and transmission may be bent or out of balance.
Repair or replace the drive line.

Tire Damage

Inspect the tires for damage that could cause imbalance that results in
vibrations.

Problems that Show Fault Messages in the Display

The purpose of this section is to help troubleshoot the TDEC-400 control system.
This section is divided into component groups and/or specific fault messages.
See the following pages for specific display fault information. The diagnostics
test in Troubleshooting may be used to perform the initial tests. A volt-ohm
multimeter will be required to complete the troubleshooting.

Note: Problems are usually caused by wiring faults or other parts


of the system rather than the control itself. Voltage and
resistance measurements will be required throughout the
troubleshooting section. When making resistance
measurements, the power to the control must be off. DO
NOT use a test light to check for voltage. Control damage
can result.

Fault Message Definitions

General
The control system is designed to maintain safe operation in all modes of
operation. The system also runs special software routines in conjunction with
the main program to check system integrity. For example, if a range is engaged,
a test routine checks that the correct range clutch valves are turned on and that
all others are off. If not, the system reacts by going to neutral. At the instant
such faults are detected the operator is notified by a fault message on the
display. Only fault messages that are listed on the following pages should be
displayed. If unusual codes are displayed, use diagnostics Test 1 in
Troubleshooting to check the operation of the display.

In most instances, additional information regarding the fault can be obtained


by simultaneously depressing the two (up and down arrow button) switches on
the display while the fault message is displayed. The additional information
will contain a fault log message and in some instances, a status code. This
fault information is also logged in memory along with the date and time that the
fault occurred.

CONTROL ERROR Fault Message - Log Code I1 through I24


The control continuously tests its internal functions, and if a problem is detected,
a Log Code will be recorded and displayed that identifies the type of problem.
Vehicle operation may continue for a limited time, depending on the type of
internal problem. The control must be replaced except for power problems
identified as I15 and I16.

PWR PROB Fault Message

Log Code: I15, Status Code: High


This fault message indicates that the supply voltage is too high as a
result of a vehicle power supply problem. If this condition exists for more
than 5 seconds, the control will display the message, and after 2 minutes,
will shut down. Check the vehicle charging system.

Log Code: I16, Status Code: Low


This fault message indicates that the supply voltage for the control has
dropped and stayed below 10 volts dc for more than 0.1 second. The
10 volts dc is necessary to sustain the outputs. The electronic control
will go to computer neutral. The manual override will not function because
the low voltage will not energize the solenoids.

Note: Voltage dropping below 10 volts dc for longer than 0.1


seconds followed by restoration of voltage above 10 volts
dc will cause the electronic control to repower (act as if
the power was turned off, then on). If the selector is in a D
position, or R, a SELECT NEUTRAL fault message will
appear.

Possible causes:

A. The code may appear briefly when electrical power is removed


from the control during activation of the starter or when the run
switch is turned off. This is a normal response to input power
dropping off.

B. Battery voltage low. Power is supplied to the control from the


battery via J4X2 and J4Y2. The power is then routed from J2C1
to the neutral disconnect switch in the selector, and then to J2C2
of the control. The battery ground is connected to J4X3 and
J4Y3 of the control.

102 Power Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080


Twin Disc, Incorporated Troubleshooting

C. Loose or poor connection between the control and the power


source or ground. Poor connection may briefly remove power or
limit the amount of current being supplied to the electronic control.
D. Charging system of the vehicle not functioning properly, resulting
in low supply voltage during operation.

E. Key switch contacts are not disconnecting during the start cycle.

SELECT NEUTRAL Fault Message


This fault message will be displayed at any time that the Neutral position of the
selector must be verified for continued operation of the vehicle. The message
will be cleared when the switches indicate that Neutral has been selected.

TRAN OIL FILTER Fault Message -OIL FILT PLUGGED Log Code
This fault message will be displayed if the hydraulic system filter differential
pressure switch indicates a high pressure drop across the filter for more than
30 seconds. The message will be cleared when the switch indicates a normal
pressure drop for at least five seconds. This message will not affect the operation
of the transmission system.

TRAN SYS FAULT Message -- ACC PEDL Log Code


This fault message will be displayed if the value of the accelerator position
signal is out of the proper range. Operation of the vehicle will continue in drive
mode, however shifts will be made using a predetermined shift profile based
on a full throttle position. Operation in the work mode will not be allowed. The
control requires a potentiometer set up to give a display reading in Diagnostics
Test 7 of not less than 0.5 volts with the pedal up, and not more than 4.5 volts
with the pedal down. A 1.5 volt minimum spread is required between the pedal
up and the pedal down positions.

TRAN SYS FAULT Message -- CONV MOD Log Code


This fault message will be displayed if the control detects an open circuit to the
converter modulated input clutch valve. Computer neutral will be selected, and
the message displayed until the fault is corrected and the control power cycled
by the key switch. The circuit can be checked by removing the J4 cable and
checking terminals J4M1 AND J4L3. The proper impedance for each coil is
5 to 11 ohms. Note that the electrical circuit includes a bulkhead connector
between the control and the transmission.

Power Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080 103


Troubleshooting Twin Disc, Incorporated

TRAN SYS FAULT Message -- DIF LOCK Log Code


This fault message will be displayed if the control detects a short or open circuit
to the differential lock range clutch valve. The valve will be turned off, and the
message displayed. Operation of the vehicle will continue, however differential
lock will not be available. The message will be displayed until the problem is
addressed, and the control power cycled by the key switch. The circuit can be
checked by removing the J4 cable and checking terminals J4P2 and J4R1, If
the measured impedance is not proper at these points, the cable must be
disconnected at the sensor, and at the transmission junction to determine the
location of the fault. The proper coil impedance is 5 to 11 ohms. Note that the
electrical circuit includes a bulkhead connector between the control and the
transmission.

TRAN SYS FAULT Message -- ENG LOAD Log Code


This fault message will be displayed if the engine load signal that is received
from the J1939 Data Bus is outside the allowable range of 0% to 125%.
Operation of the vehicle will continue, and shifting will be done from a
predetermined load zone table. The message will be cleared when the signal
is in the proper range.

TRAN SYS FAULT Message -- INPT SPD Log Code


This fault message will be displayed if the control recognizes an open or short
in the transmission input speed sensor circuit. The transmission output speed
sensor signal will be used to determine the engagement of the torque converter
lockup clutch, based on the range that the transmission is in. The display
message will not be cleared until the fault is corrected and the controller is
repowered by cycling the key switch. The proper impedance of the sensor when
checked by using an ohmmeter should be 1000 to 1300 ohms. This can be
checked across terminals J3E1 and J3E2 at the plug when it is removed from
the control. There should be no circuit between either of these terminals and
the chassis ground which is J4X3. If the measured impedance is not proper at
these points, the cable must be disconnected at the sensor, and at the
transmission junction to determine the location of the fault. Note that the
electrical circuit includes a bulkhead connector between the control and the
transmission.

104 Power Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080


Twin Disc, Incorporated Troubleshooting

TRAN SYS FAULT Message -- INPUT SPD FREQ Log Code


This fault message will be displayed if the control recognizes a speed signal
from the transmission input speed sensor that is zero when the transmission is
above the minimum automatic shifting range, and there is an output speed
signal. The torque converter lockup clutch will be engaged based on the
transmission output speed and the range that the transmission is in. The display
message will not be cleared until the fault is corrected and the controller is
repowered by cycling the key switch.

The likely cause of this problem is a transmission input speed sensor that is
out of adjustment or damaged. The sensor is located on the upper part of the
transmission. The sensor can be adjusted as follows.

A. Remove the turbine speed sensor.

B. Thoroughly clean the turbine speed sensor or replace if damaged.

C. Align the gear seen through the turbine speed sensor hole so the gear
tooth is in the middle of the hole.

D. Screw the turbine speed sensor into the hole until it just contacts the
gear tooth.

E. Back out the turbine speed sensor 1 to 1 1/4 turn. *

F. Use jam nut to lock the turbine speed sensor in place (50 in-lbs, 5.7
Nm).

* Turbine Speed Sensor.


1 to 1 1/4 turn gap corresponds to approximately .0.060 to 0.075

TRAN SYS FAULT Message -- OUT1 SPD Log Code


This fault message will be displayed if the control recognizes an open or short
in the transmission output speed sensor circuit. The transmission input speed
sensor signal will be used to determine the transmission shift speeds. Shifts
from neutral into forward will engage the highest transmission range, and then
shifts will occur based on the transmission input speed. The display message
will not be cleared until the fault is corrected and the controller is repowered by
cycling the key switch. The proper impedance of the sensor when checked by
using an ohmmeter should be 1000 to 1300 ohms. This can be checked across
terminals J3A1 and J3B1 at the plug when it is removed from the control. There
should be no circuit between either of these terminals and the chassis ground
which is J4X3. If the measured impedance is not proper at these points, the
cable must be disconnected at the sensor, and at the transmission junction to
determine the location of the fault. Note that the electrical circuit includes a
bulkhead connector between the control and the transmission.

Note: If both the transmission input speed sensor and the


transmission output speed sensor fail simultaneously
while the vehicle is in motion, the following will happen:

A. The torque converter lockup clutch range valve will be de-energized.

B. The present transmission range will be held until the operator selects
neutral.

C. Reverse will not be allowed.

D. If a forward range is selected, the highest available range will be engaged


and maintained.

The above actions will be maintained until the fault is corrected and the control
is repowered by cycling the key switch.

TRAN SYS FAULT Message -- OUT1 SPD FREQ


This fault message will be displayed if the control recognizes a speed signal
from the transmission output speed sensor that is zero when the transmission
is above the minimum automatic shifting range, and there is an input speed
signal. The transmission input speed sensor signal will be used to determine
the proper shift speeds. Shifts from neutral to forward will engage the highest
transmission range, and shifted based on the transmission input speed. The
display message will not be cleared until the fault is corrected and the controller
is repowered by cycling the key switch.

The likely cause of this problem is a transmission output speed sensor that is
out of adjustment or damaged. The sensor is located on the lower part of the
transmission. The sensor can be adjusted as follows.

A. Remove the output speed sensor.

B. Thoroughly clean the output speed sensor or replace if damaged.

C. Align the gear seen through the output speed sensor hole so the gear
tooth is in the middle of the hole.

D. Screw the output speed sensor into the hole until it just contacts the

An intermittent status code may be caused by an intermittent or a


temperature sensitive fault in the valve or the wires between the control
and the valve. Look for any trends in occurrence of the status code,
such as only when transmission oil is cold or hot. Try to check valve and
harnesses immediately after an intermittent code occurs.

Unplug the pigtail of the indicated valve and measure the resistance of
the solenoid valve itself. Expected resistance values are listed in Table
4. Place ohmmeter leads on the two sockets corresponding to the
solenoid in question. See Table 3. A proper ohmmeter reading for the
solenoid is shown in the chart. Also verify that the solenoid leads are not
shorted to the chassis by measuring resistance between the connector
and the transmission housing, there should be no connection.

110 Power Transmission System Operator’s Manual #1023080


Twin Disc, Incorporated Troubleshooting

A. If an incorrect resistance is measured at the valve pigtail, the


fault is in the pigtail wires or in the internal coil of the valve. Valve
may need to be replaced.

B. If correct resistance is measured into the valve and there is no


connection to the chassis, reconnect the harness to the valve.

a. Unplug the J4 cable from the electronic control.

b. Measure the resistance between the contacts shown.


Resistance value should be the same as measured at
the valve itself. If the resistance is very high, there is a
fault in one of the harnesses from the control to the valve
or there is a poor connection in one of the cable
connections. Note that the electrical circuit includes a
bulkhead connector between the control and the
transmission.

c. If the resistance measured is very low, the two wires going


to the valve are shorted together in the harnesses between
the control and the valve.

d. If the correct resistance is measured between the


connections shown, check for connections between the
solenoid wires and other wires in the harness or
connections to the chassis. Place the ohmmeter on the
first contact shown in the chart for the valve indicated.
Measure the resistance to each of the other contacts in
the P4 harness and also to the chassis.

If EC RELAY is selected, the first line of the display will show EC RELAY, and
the second line will show OPEN or CLOSED. Depressing the down arrow
button will toggle between these states. Depressing the up arrow button will
open the relay and return to the sub menu.

After selection of an individual coil, a sub menu will be displayed, showing the
following options: FULL ON, MODULATE, PRESET, and EXIT SUB MENU.

If FULL ON is selected, the selected coil will be powered with full on current.
The display will show the coil selected and display FULL ON. Depressing the
up arrow button will turn the coil off and go back to the sub menu.

If MODULATE is selected, the selected coil can be toggled on in increments of


5% of full current with the use of the up arrow button. It can be reduced in
increments of 5% of full current with the use of the down arrow button. The
display will identify the coil selected, the percentage of full current, and the
current value. (Example: TranSol2 55% .13A) The test can be terminated by
reaching 100% with the use of the up arrow button, or by simultaneously
depressing both the up and down arrow buttons at any time. These actions will
both result in EXIT SUB MENU being displayed.

If PRESET is selected, current to the selected coil will be ramped linearly from
zero to full current in 15 seconds, and then from full current to zero current over
the next 15 seconds. This cycle will be continuously repeated until the up arrow
button is pushed. This will turn the current to zero, and return the control to the
sub menu listing the choices. While the cycling is continuing, the display will
identify the coil, the percentage of full current, and the current level.

If the range selector is moved into the neutral position after FULL ON,
MODULATE, or PRESET has been selected, the test will be terminated, current
turned off, and DESELECT NEUTRAL will be displayed.

Note that the PTO solenoid is an on/off device, and this test sequence sends a
current level in each of the test modes that is the same regardless of the valve
coil selected. The PTO clutch pressure will respond only when the current level
is sufficient to turn it fully on, and it will remain on fully until the current level is no
longer sufficient to keep the coil fully energized. The pressure level will not
modulate.

Table 6 shows expected pressure values for the electric modulating valves tested
in troubleshooting Test 8. The oil temperature range is between 100° F and
180° F, and the system main pressure is 250 psi or less, and SAE 10W oil is
used. The pressure at an intermediate setting is not affected by the main supply
pressure, but will level off when main pressure is reached. The important things
to consider when testing a valve are that there should not be any pressure at
zero current, and full pressure when 100 is displayed. The orientation of the
axis of the valve coil with respect to the horizontal plane affects the
resulting pressure. The maximum pressure results when the coil axis is
vertical with the coil end up. Conversely, the minimum pressure results
when the coil axis is vertical with the coil end down. A plot of pressure vs.
current should result in a reasonably smooth line from minimum current to
maximum current.

the selector is placed in a forward range. The transmission will be shifted into
5th range, and the display will indicate 5th ENGAGED. The engine speed will
be controlled by the accelerator pedal. The transmission will remain engaged
until the up arrow button is pushed or the selector is moved to the neutral position.
This test should only be performed for short periods of time to allow the
transmission system oil temperature to cool sufficiently.

During the operation of test 9, it is necessary to have all personnel and


any obstacles clear of the vehicle. If vehicle brake failure occurs, the
transmission will accelerate in 5th range. Operation can be stopped by
any of the following.

‰ Selecting N

‰ Turning the vehicle power off

‰ Depressing the up arrow button on the Display

Note: Measurement and recording of all of the pressures listed


can be very helpful in determining the cause of and a
solution to a problem. A shortcut taken here to only
measure the pressure that is of concern can result in
erroneous conclusions.

Multiple gauges should be used, otherwise fewer gauges must be moved to


accomplish the test. One fitting with a short open ended hose should be used
to vent the suggested port. The measurement of leakage from the vented port
will aid in determining if internal leakages could be causing partial application
of the opposing clutch on the same shaft. It is normal that a few drips will be
present from the vented location when the opposing clutch is engaged. A steady
stream may be an indication of excessive leakage due to seal ring damage.

Refer to Troubleshooting for instructions for Test 8 procedures.

Engine speed should be held at approximately 715 rpm during test if possible.
If not possible, run complete test at a consistent engine rpm.

Oil temperature should be warmed to operating temperatures if possible. If


not, this must be taken into consideration during the analysis of the results.

Use Test 8 to select the converter and transmission range clutch coil. Use the
FULL ON option when recording pressures in Table 6 in Troubleshooting.
Troubleshooting the proportional effects of the shift profiles requires that
pressure versus current be measured using the MODULATE option, and
recorded in Table 7 in Troubleshooting. The charts that follow will aid in
determining if a possible problem may exist.

Note: All of the valve coils except the pto clutch solenoid are
interchangeable, and any two of them could be swapped
to aid in troubleshooting.

Refer to Description and Specifications for expected pressures. Note that


these values may differ somewhat with temperature and engine speed
variations. An analysis of the measured results will aid in determining the cause
of potential problems. Significant variations from the specifications and
differences among the individual clutches are indications of problem areas.

Transmission In Vehicle Test

Following the installation of any major components such as the transmission or


torque converter, it is important that certain tests be performed to insure proper
installation and function of the components.

This vehicle is equipped with an oil filtering system with a filter bypass warning
indicator. During the following engine running tests, be alert to the TRAN OIL
FILTER fault warning on the transmission system display unit. If the fault
message is indicated, and the engine is at idle, it is important to change oil
filter elements. Repeat this as necessary to clean up the oil of contaminants
that may have been trapped in various locations in the transmission hydraulic
system.

A data sheet and procedure guide are on the following pages.
