Symptom
• Air Leak at Shift Knob
• Air Leak at Slave Valve
• Air Leak from Transmission Breather or Transmission Case is Pressurized
• Air Leak at Splitter Cylinder Cover Exhaust Port
• No or Slow Range Shift into Low
• No or Slow Range Shift into High
• Range Shifts with Shift Lever in Gear

WARNING: Use care when removing air lines or checking for air flow from disconnected lines. High pressure air may
exhaust suddenly. Wear safety glasses. Exhaust all air pressure from system before removing air filter/regulator or com-
bination cylinder cover.
Note: During all testing, the vehicle air pressure must be greater than 90 PSI (620 kPa). If during testing the pressure falls below
90 PSI (620 kPa), make sure the transmission is in neutral, start the engine, and let the pressure build to governor cutoff.
After the pressure reaches the governor cutoff, continue testing. The pressure is critical if the vehicle is equipped with a
Pressure Protection Valve that would shut off the air supply to certain air circuits if the system pressure dropped below a
preset level.

IMPORTANT: Use the following air system troubleshooting procedures for part replacement only if the symptom can be dupli-
cated. If the problem is intermittent, parts that are not defective could be replaced.
Instructions
1. Start at “Procedures” for Step A.
2. Based on the “Result” of the procedure, go to the corresponding “What To Do Next”.

Normal Operation:
• Aburst of air will beexhaustedfrom theshift knob when moving therangeselector from low to high. This is the air being
exhausted from the “P” air line.
• A burst of air will be exhausted from the shift knob when moving the splitter button rearward (shifting to low split). This is
the air being exhausted from the “SP” air line.
Possible Causes:
• Incorrectly attached air lines
• Internal leak in slave valve
• Internal leak at insert valve

Air System Troubleshooting

Procedure 2: Symptom - Air Leak at Slave Valve


Normal Operation:
A momentary exhaust of air at the slave valve occurs during a range shift. The air from the low side of the range cylinder is
exhausted as air pressure is applied to the high range side. Likewise, air from the high range side of the piston is exhausted as air
pressure is applied to the low range side. The exhaust port is located at the slave valve to transmission mounting interface.
Possible Causes:
• Internal leak in range cylinder.
• Internal leak in slave valve.

Air System Troubleshooting

Procedure 5: Symptom - No or Slow Range Shift into Low


Normal Operation:
When the range selector on the shift knob is moved down to select low range, air pressure will flow through the shift knob to the
"P" port on the slave valve. The slave valve will direct air pressure through the low range 1/4" rubber hose to the range cylinder to
shift the range. There will be a brief burst of air at the slave valve as the high range side of the range piston exhausts. Likewise,
when high range is selected, the air pressure in the "P" will be exhausted at the shift knob. This will cause the slave valve to direct
air to the rear side of the range cylinder piston. The air pressure on the low range side will be exhausted at the slave valve.
Possible Causes:
• Incorrect air line hook up
• Insufficient air supply to transmission
• Damaged or defective air filter / regulator assembly
• Damaged or defective shift knob master valve
• Damaged or defective slave valve
• Damaged or defective range cylinder
• Damaged or defective range yoke or yoke bar
• Damaged or defective range synchronizer
• Damaged or defective gearing in auxiliary section of transmission

Procedure 8: Symptom - Range Shifts with Shift Lever in Gear


Normal Operation:
Range shifts should only occur when the shift lever is in neutral. Therange selector can be moved up or down while the shift lever is
in a gear position, but the shift will not occur until the shift lever is moved to neutral.
Possible Causes:
• Worn or missing actuating pin or air valve shaft
• Worn shift rail
Procedure:
If the range has been confirmed to shift with the shift lever in gear, unbolt the slave valve from the side of the transmission. Con-
firm that the actuating pin is present and that it is the proper part number for the corresponding slave valve. If correct, remove the
shift bar housing assembly and check for a worn or damaged air valve shaft or worn shift rails. Replace necessary parts.

Combination Cylinder Troubleshooting


The symptoms listed below are covered on the following pages. Before beginning any of those troubleshooting procedures, place
the transmission in neutral and move the range selection lever from low to high. Listen for any constant air leak from the shift
knob, air module base (exhaust), or transmission breather. If a constant leak is heard, go to that particular leak troubleshooting
procedure first.

If you do not see the symptom you need to correct, refer to the General Troubleshooting chart.
Symptom
• Air Leak from Air Module Base (Exhaust Leak)
• No or Slow Range Shift into High (Shift into low range is good)
• No or Slow Range Shift into Low (Shift into high range is good)

Troubleshooting
Air System
• Constant Air Leak from Shift Knob
• Range Shifts in Gear
• Air Leak from Transmission Breather or Transmission Case is Pressurized
Note: Use the air system troubleshooting procedures for part replacement only if the symptom can be duplicated. If the problem is
intermittent, parts that are not defective could be replaced.
Note: During all testing, the vehicle air pressure must be greater than 90 PSI (620 kPa). If during testing the pressure falls below
90 PSI (620 kPa), make sure the transmission is in neutral, start the engine and let the pressure build to governor cutoff.
After the pressure reaches the governor cutoff, continue testing. The pressure is critical if the vehicle is equipped with a ve-
hicle air system Pressure Protection Valve that would shut off the air supply to certain air circuits if the system pressure
dropped below a preset level.
Note: A 0-150 PSI (0-1034 kPa) air gauge with a 1/16” male pipe thread fitting attachment is required for some of the test proce-
dures.

WARNING: Prior to removing the air module, exhaust the air from it. Failure to exhaust the air module may result in
personal injury or damage to parts from the sudden release of air.

WARNING: Use care when removing the test port pipe plugs. If air pressure is present on the plug, it can become a
projectile during removal. When removing the “L” plug or “H” plug, pressure can be shut off by selecting the opposite
range mode. If removing the “F” plug, exhaust the air to the module inlet.

Procedure 2: Symptom - Air Leak at Slave Valve


Normal operation:
A momentary exhaust of air at the slave valve occurs during a range shift. The air from the low side of the range cylinder is ex-
hausted as air pressure is applied to the high range side. Likewise, air from the high range side of the piston is exhausted as air
pressure is applied to the low range side. The exhaust port is located at the slave valve to transmission mounting interface.
Possible Causes:
• Internal leak in range cylinder
• Internal leak in slave valve.

Air System Troubleshooting

Procedure 5: Symptom - No or Slow Range Shift into Low


Normal Operation:
When the range selector on the shift knob is moved down to select low range, air pressure will flow through the shift knob to the ‘P
port on the slave valve. The slave valve will direct air pressure through the low range 1/4” rubber hose to the range cylinder to shift
the range. There will be a brief burst of air at the slave valve as the high range side of the range piston exhausts. Likewise, when
high range is selected, the air pressure in the “P” will be exhausted at the shift knob. This will cause the slave valve to direct air to
the rear side of the range cylinder piston. The air pressure on the low range side will be exhausted at the slave valve.
Possible Causes:
• Incorrect air line hook up
• Insufficient air supply to transmission
• Damaged or defective air filter / regulator assembly

Procedure 6: Symptom - No or Slow Range Shift into High


Normal Operation:
When the range selector on the shift knob is moved down to select low range, air pressure will flow through the shift knob to the
‘P” port on the slave valve. The slave valve will direct air pressure through the low range 1/4” rubber supply hose to the range
cylinder to shift the range. There will be a brief burst of air at the slave valve as the high range side of the range piston exhausts.
Likewise, when high range is selected, theair pressure in the “P” will be exhausted at the shift knob. This will cause the slave valve to
direct air to the rear side of the range cylinder piston. Theair pressure on the low range side will be exhausted at the slave valve.
Possible Causes:
• Incorrect air line hook up
• Insufficient air supply to transmission
• Plugged filter

Procedure 7: Symptom - No or Slow Shift into Deep Reduction


Normal Operation:
When the deep reduction button is moved forward to select deep reduction, air pressure is supplied through the “SP” air line to
the insert valve signal port. This air pressure causes the insert valve to exhaust the air pressure on the rear of the deep reduction
piston and the piston moves rearward. A burst of air occurs at the deep reduction cylinder exhaust port as this air is exhausted
from the piston back side. A burst of air also occurs at the shift knob when the deep reduction button is moved rearward. This is
the signal air being exhausted out of the “SP” line.
Possible causes:
• Incorrect air line hook up, Plugged filter.
• Incorrect regulator pressure. Insufficient air supply to transmission.
• Damaged or defective shift knob master valve.

Procedure 8: Symptom - Range Shifts with Shift Lever in Gear


Normal Operation:
Range shift should only occur when the shift lever is in neutral. The range selector can be moved up or down while the shift lever is
in a gear position, but the shift will not occur until the shift lever is moved to neutral.
Possible Causes:
• Worn or missing actuating pin or air valve shaft.
• Worn shift rail
Procedure:
If the range has been confirmed to shift with the shift lever in gear, unbolt the slave valve from the side of the transmission. Con-
firm that the actuating pin is present and that it is the proper P/N for the corresponding slave valve. If correct, remove the shift
bar housing assembly and check for a worn or damaged air valve shaft or worn shift rails. Replace necessary parts.

FR-1X210 Troubleshooting
The symptoms listed below are covered on the following pages. Before beginning any of those troubleshooting procedures, place
the transmission in neutral and move the range selection lever from low to high. Listen for any constant air leak from the shift
knob, air module base (exhaust), or transmission breather. If a constant leak is heard, go to that particular leak troubleshooting
procedure first. If you do not see the symptom you need to correct, refer to the General Troubleshooting chart at the beginning of
this section.
Symptom
• Air leak from Air Module Base (Exhaust leak)
• No or Slow Range Shift into High (Shift into low range is good)
• No or Slow Range Shift into Low (Shift into high range is good)

Troubleshooting
Air System
• Constant Air Leak from Shift Knob
• Range Shifts While Transmission is in Gear
• Air Leak from Transmission Breather or Transmission Case is Pressurized
Note: Use the air system troubleshooting procedures for part replacement only if the symptom can be duplicated. If the problem is
intermittent, parts that are not defective could be replaced.
Note: During all testing, the vehicle air pressure must be greater than 90 PSI (620 kPa). If during testing the pressure falls below
90 PSI (620 kPa), make sure the transmission is in neutral, start the engine and let the pressure build to governor cutoff.
After the pressure reaches the governor cutoff, continue testing. The pressure is critical if the vehicle is equipped with a Pres-
sure Protection Valve that would shut off the air supply to certain air circuits if the system pressure dropped below a preset
level.
Note: A 0-150 PSI (0-1034 kPa) air gauge with a 1/16" male pipe thread fitting attachment is required for some of the test proce-
dures.
Note: Regulated air pressure is 75 to 85 PSI (517-586 kPa).

WARNING: Prior to removing the air module, exhaust the air from it. Failure to exhaust the air module may result in
personal injury or damage to parts from the sudden release of air.

WARNING: Use care when removing the test port pipe plugs. If air pressure is present on the plug, it can become a
projectile during removal. When removing the “L” plug or “H” plug, pressure can be shut off by selecting the opposite
range mode. If removing the “F” plug, exhaust the air to the module inlet.

Air System Symptom - Air Leak from Module Base (Exhaust)


Short bursts of air leakage from the module base (exhaust) are normal as the range system is shifted. The module base is defined as
both the interface of the module cover and module base and the extreme underside of the module. Leakage is a problem when it is
audible and constant. Air leakage from the module base may result from either a defective air module or a defective range
piston. The following procedure will identify the defective component.
Test Procedure:
1.Check for air leakage from the module base (exhaust) in each of the four following conditions. (Make sure the range is shifted
when the shift lever is in neutral.)
a. Range selection lever in Low and shift lever in neutral.
b. Range selection lever in Low and shift lever in gear.
c. Range selection lever in High and shift lever in neutral.
d. Range selection lever in High and shift lever in gear.

Record the findings (constant leak or no leak) in the following table.


Range Selector in LOW Range Selector in HIGH
Lever in Neutral
Lever in Gear

2. If the information you recorded at step 1 matches one of the following tables, replace the air module. If your table does not
match either of the tables, it will be necessary to isolate and test the air module separately, continue to step 3.
Range Selector in LOW Range Selector in HIGH
Lever in Neutral No Leak Constant Leak
Lever in Gear No Leak Constant Leak

Range Selector in LOW Range Selector in HIGH


Lever in Neutral Constant Leak Constant Leak
Lever in Gear Constant Leak Constant Leak

WARNING: Failure to exhaust the air pressure may cause personal injury or damage to parts.

3.Exhaust the air pressure from the air module. To do so, the vehicle’s air tanks may need to be exhausted.

4.Leaving all air lines connected to the module, remove the four capscrews attaching the air module to the shift bar housing. Lift the
air module and tilt it to gain access to the two air holes at the underside on the rear capscrew location. Do not damage or lose the
two o-rings used to seal the holes.

5.Block off the air ports on the underside of the module. Use a piece of gasket material or rubber material to seal the bottom of
the module as shown in Figure 4-1 under “Air System Nomenclature”.

6.Repressurize the air module with an inlet supply pressure of over 90 PSI (620 kPa). To repressurize the air module, the vehicle
may need to be started and air pressure allowed to build up.

7.Check for air leakage in both high and low range. If air continues to leak constantly from the exhaust, the air module is defective. If
air does not leak, a range cylinder piston or piston seal failure has occurred. Remove the shift bar housing to gain access to the
range shift cylinder.

Air System Troubleshooting

Air System Symptom - No or Slow Range Shift into High (Shift into Low Range is Good)
This transmission contains a SynchroSaver feature to protect the high range synchronizer. When high range is selected and a front
section gear is engaged, air pressure is supplied to both sides of the range piston, which reduces synchronizer force. Therefore, if
the driver engages a front section gear before the high range synchronizer engages, the high range synchronizer will remain in
neutral. When a front section gear engages before the synchronizer shift completes, the driver must shift the lever back to neutral to
allow the high range synchronizer to complete its shift. Once the range shift is complete, the driver can complete the front sec- tion
shift.

If the high range synchronizer hangs up or is slow to synchronize, the front section may engage first. The driver complaint will be
that the transmission “neutralizes” on a shift to high range. If this condition occurs, perform the following test of the air system to
eliminate the air system as the source of the problem. If the air system performs properly, then the problem is internal to the
transmission range synchronizer system.

Troubleshooting
Air System
Note: The driver must preselect all range shifts.
Note: If a capscrew or stud is installed too far into the right side (air module side) rear support hole, the fastener can extend too
far into the transmission. The fastener may contact the range yoke and bind the range synchronizer assembly during the
range shift.

other “L”. (See Figure 4-1 “Air System Nomenclature”). Install a 0-150 PSI (0-1034 kPa) air gauge in the port marked “H.”
Note: Prior to removing the pipe plug, turn off the air flow by flipping the range selector down into the low range position. The
transmission must be in neutral.

Move the range selector up to the high range position and record the pressure on the gauge. Match the pressure to one of those

selector from low to high (up) position. If range now shifts properly, inspect and correct the source of binding between lock cover
and range yoke bar.
Note: To prevent binding, range alignment lock cover capscrew must be tightened when transmission is in Low Range. If trans-
mission does not shift properly, continue to Step 8

8.Remove the auxiliary section, and inspect range synchronizer, range yoke, range yoke bar, range yoke snap rings, range sliding
clutch, and mating gears for excessive wear, binding, or damage. Repair as necessary. If these components do not need repair,
continue to step 9.

9.Remove shift bar housing and inspect range piston, piston bar, and cylinder for excessive wear, binding, or damage. Repair as
necessary.

Air System Troubleshooting

Air System Symptom - Constant Air Leak from Shift Knob


In normal operation, a burst of air will be exhausted from the shift knob when moving the range selector from low to high range.

If a constant air leak is detected, first check for a leaking fitting. If the leak occurs when both high and low range are selected and
the leak is from the exhaust “E” port on the shift knob. Repair or replace the shift knob.

If the leak only occurs in high range, check for reversed hook up of “P” and “S” air lines. If the air lines are connected properly,
repair or replace the shift knob.

Air System Troubleshooting

Air System Symptom - Range Shift While Transmission is in Gear


The interlock mechanism allows the driver to move the range selection lever while still in gear (preselect). The range will then shift
when the shift lever moves into neutral. If the driver preselects a range shift and the shift occurs while the shift lever is in gear, a
problem is present.
Test Procedure:

WARNING: Failure to exhaust the air module may cause personal injury or damage to parts due to the rapid release of air.

1.Exhaust air pressure from the air module. To do so, the vehicle air may need to be exhausted.

2.Remove the four capscrews attaching the air module to the shift bar housing. Lift the air module and tilt it to gain access to the
module interlock finger. Do not lose or damage the two O-rings at the rear mounting capscrew.

3. Inspect the module interlock finger for excessive wear. Replace, if necessary.

4.Shine a bright light into the hole the interlock finger engages. Inspect the chamfer on the shift shaft for excessive wear. To
inspect the chamfer, the transmission may need to be shifted into gear so both the forward and rearward chamfers are visible. If
the chamfer is excessively worn, remove the shift bar housing, disassemble, and replace the worn parts.

5. If the shift shaft is not excessively worn, replace the air module.

Air System Troubleshooting

Air System Symptom - Air Leak From Breather or Case is Pressurized


If the air leak occurs when the transmission is in high range, the problem is with the range cylinder in the transmission. Remove
the shift bar housing, and disassemble and inspect the range cylinder for worn or missing o-rings. Also, inspect the shift bar hous-
ing for cracks or porosity.

If the leak only occurs when the transmission is shifted to low range, the air module may be leaking into the transmission at the
interlock finger location. Prior to removing the shift bar housing, perform the following test to determine the problem.
Test Procedure:

attaching the air module to the shift bar housing. Lift the air module and tilt it to gain access to the two air holes at the underside at
the rear capscrew location. Do not lose or damage the two small o-rings near the rear capscrew location. Block off the air ports on
the underside of the module (Figure 4-4 “Air System Nomenclature”). Repressurize the air module with an inlet supply pressure of
over 90 PSI (620 kPa). Repressurizing the air module may require starting the vehicle and allowing the air pressure to build. Shift
the transmission into low range. Answer the question on the chart below, and follow the instructions corresponding to the result.

Question Result What to do Next


Can any air leakage be detected at the Yes Replace the air

7, 8, 9 and 10-Speed Range Air Systems


Air is supplied to the system at the air supply port (1) by the vehicle's air system. The air filter (2) removes foreign matter from
the air then allows it to pass through the air regulator (3) where the pressure is adjusted for 58 to 63 PSI (4.0 daN/cm2). From
there the air passes through the supply air hose (4) and the slave valve supply port (5) through the supply air line (6) to the range
control valve (7). With the range control valve lever or knob down (LO range), air passes through the air line connected to the
slave valve "P" port (8). The slave valve then directs air to the LO range hose (9) and exhausts the HI range hose (10). With the
range control valve lever or knob up (HI range,) the air line connected to the slave valve "P" port (8) is exhausted. The slave valve
then directs air to the HI range hose (10) and exhausts the LO range hose (9).

Deep ReductionAir System (with Dash Mounted Valve)


In addition to the components of the range air system, the deep reduction air system utilizes a reduction cylinder and a separate
dash mounted deep reduction valve. Air is supplied to the system at the air supply port (1) by the vehicle's air system. The air
filter (2) removes foreign matter from the air then allows it to pass through the air regulator (3) where the pressure is adjusted for
58 to 63 PSI. From there the air passes through the supply air hose (4) to the slave valve supply port (5) through the supply air
hose (6) to the deep reduction valve (7). Depending upon the position of the deep reduction valve lever, if air passes through the
air hose (8) connected to the reduction cylinder center port (9) then the deep reduction gearing is disengaged. If there is no air,
the constant air from the air filter/regulator assembly (10) moves the reduction piston rearward to engagedeepreduction gearing.

Air is supplied to the system at the air supply port (1) by the vehicle's air system. The air filter (2) removes foreign matter from
the air then allows it to pass through the air regulator where the pressure is adjusted for 58 to 63 PSI (4.0 daN/cm2). From there
the air passes through the supply air hose (3) to the range actuator valve supply port through the supply air line (4) to the
Roadranger valve.

Depending upon the position of the splitter button (5), if air passes through the air line (6) connected to the splitter cylinder top
port (7) then the even numbered gear positions are engaged. If there is no air, the constant air from the air filter/regulator as-
sembly (8) moves the splitter piston rearward to engage odd numbered gear positions.

The transmission shift lever automatically activiates LO and HI range depending on gear position.

This system consists of a A-6910 Roadranger valve, range actuator valve, a splitter shift cylinder and a range cylinder. The splitter
cylinder shifts the transmission between odd and even numbered gear positions. The range cylinder shifts the transmission be-
tween LO and HI range.

Air is supplied to the system at the air supply port (1) by the vehicle's air system. The air filter (2) removes foreign matter from
the air then allows it to pass through the air regulator where the pressure is adjusted for 58 to 63 PSI (4.0 daN/cm2). From there
the air passes through the supply air hose (3) to the range actuator valve supply port through the supply air line (4) to the
Roadranger valve.

Depending upon the position of the splitter button (5), if air passes through the air line (6) connected to the splitter cylinder top
port (7) then the even numbered gear positions are engaged. If there is no air, the constant air from the air filter/regulator assem-
bly (8) moves the splitter piston forward to engage odd numbered gear positions.

The transmission shift lever automatical activiates LO and HI range depending on gear position.

Insert Valve
The insert valve is a self-contained 1-13/16" valve assembly located in the splitter cylinder cover. It cannot be disassembled except
for the three (3) O-rings on the outer diameter. The O-rings provide a stationary seal and do not move in the cylinder.

Insert valve piston travel is only 1/32". When no air is applied to the valve piston top side through the signal line, constant air
supplied from the air filter/regulator moves the yoke bar rearward to engage the rear auxiliary drive gear (LO and HI range direct),
while air is exhausted out the insert valve.
