[. . . ] If the transmission won't go into one of these gears, slowly release the clutch pedal while applying light pressure on the transmission shift lever until it shifts into gear. Note: After engagement of 1 (First) gear, do not use the clutch brake for upshifting or downshifting. If you do, clutch brake life will shorten and gear selection shift efforts may increase. Double-clutch procedures - vehicles equipped with a non-synchronized transmission In order to properly upshift or downshift, perform the following steps: 1. If upshifting, wait until the engine speed matches the transmission speed of the gear you are selecting. If downshifting, accelerate the engine until the engine speed matches the input speed of the gear you are selecting. Depress the clutch pedal immediately and shift into the desired gear, then release the clutch pedal. 120 2004 F650/750 (f67) Supplement USA English (fus) Driving MANUAL TRANSMISSION OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED) Continued use of a damaged or worn clutch, prolonged clutch slippage or downshifting at excessive speeds can result in a failure of the engine, transmission or clutch components. To avoid premature clutch wear and failure, do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal or use it to hold the vehicle at a standstill on an upgrade as when waiting for a traffic light. Manual transmission shift patterns are displayed on either the shift lever knob or the sun visor. R 1 3 5 2 4 6 Study this information carefully before you drive the vehicle even though you may be familiar with similar units. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle without knowing the exact shift pattern of the transmission. Consult your authorized dealer if any questions exist as to the shifting instructions posted in your vehicle. Do not coast the vehicle with the clutch pedal depressed or with the transmission in neutral. Always use a gear ratio low enough to allow the engine to operate above the minimum engine operation speed range. When more power is required, shift to a lower gear and accelerate the engine near the governed speed. Driving hints The following driving hints are provided as a brief, general guide in operating the different manual transmissions used in your vehicle. · When shifting into 1 (First) or R (Reverse) with vehicle standing still, quickly release and depress the clutch pedal (if necessary to complete gear engagement). 121 2004 F650/750 (f67) Supplement USA English (fus) Driving Shifting with a synchronized transmission With the clutch pedal depressed, use 2 (Second) gear synchronizer to stop the clutch disc rotation; this allows smooth engagement of 1 (First) or R (Reverse) To complete the gear engagement, it may be necessary to apply light pressure to the gearshift lever during initial engagement of the clutch. It takes a second or two to match gear speeds; steady pressure on the gearshift lever will help the synchronizer perform its job more quickly. If the gearshift lever is forced into position, this action defeats the purpose of the synchronizer by causing gear clash. Shifting with a non-synchronized transmission Refer to Clutch brake and Double clutch procedures in the Clutch section of this chapter. Operating the Eaton FS-4205A and FS-5205A 5­speed transmissions The 5-speed transmission is equipped with five forward gears R 2 4 and one reverse.
