Eaton Fuller AutoShift & UltraShift Gen 3 Installation Guide

The Eaton Fuller AutoShift & UltraShift Gen 3 Transmission Installation Guide TRIG0930 EN-US is designed as an OEM reference for the correct installation and integration of Eaton automated transmissions. The publication explains the installation procedures and system requirements needed to achieve satisfactory transmission operation and long service life.

The guide covers a wide range of Fuller AutoShift and UltraShift transmission models, including several F-Series, FM-Series, FO-Series, RTLO, RTO and RTOM configurations. The manual is particularly useful for OEM installers, transmission technicians, electrical technicians and professionals working with automated commercial vehicle drivetrains.

Manual Specifications

Detailed Installation Requirements

The manual provides extensive installation requirements covering the cab floor access plate, clutch systems, transmission lubrication, electrical wiring, battery connections, harness routing, speedometers, neutral switches, oil cooling, engine retarders, lifting eyes, air dryers, fan-drive integration, PTO and Auto Neutral options, gear displays and engine configuration.

Important electrical requirements are also explained, including Transmission Electronic Control Unit (TECU) power and ground connections, fuse protection, wire sizing, Deutsch connector requirements, J-1939 communication, diagnostic connector accessibility and harness installation practices.

Electrical & Communication Systems

A major section of the guide focuses on electrical integration. It includes wiring requirements, power harness information, ignition circuits, J-1587 and J-1939 data links, diagnostic connections, start-enable circuits, ignition interrupt circuits and vehicle harness routing.

The system integration section also documents SAE J1939 broadcast messages, including Electronic Transmission Controller messages and associated SPNs. This information is valuable when integrating the transmission controller with the engine ECU, shift controls, gear displays and other vehicle systems.

Lubrication, Cooling & Air Supply

The manual specifies transmission lubrication requirements and discusses cooling-system requirements for different transmission applications. It also includes air supply requirements and the use of an appropriate air dryer before the transmission.

For heavy-duty applications, the guide specifies a maximum transmission operating temperature of 250°F (121°C) and explains the potential consequences of excessive operating temperatures. UltraShift AW3 applications include specific clutch cooler requirements.

Clutch, PTO & Auto Neutral Information

Installation information is provided for medium-duty and heavy-duty DM clutch applications, including the required clutch arrangements for applicable AutoShift and UltraShift transmissions. The guide also contains dedicated sections for PTO installations, including split-shaft, countershaft-driven and thru-shaft-driven PTO configurations.

UltraShift AW3 Auto Neutral functionality and associated PTO wiring diagrams are also included, making this manual useful when configuring vehicle auxiliary equipment and transmission control functions.

Inspection & Troubleshooting

The manual contains line inspection and road-test instructions together with inspection forms for UltraShift AW3, AutoShift AS3 and UltraShift DM3 systems. It also provides OEM wiring connector and harness inspection information and a troubleshooting section.

Wiring Diagrams & Technical Reference

The appendix contains multiple transmission wiring diagrams covering 6-speed, 10-speed, 13-speed and 18-speed applications. Diagrams are provided for different shift-control configurations, including analog shifters, push-button controls and cable shifters.

The appendix also includes lifting-eye and sensor positions, connector pin descriptions, suggested tools and publications, torque specifications and a vendor list.

Transmission Models Covered

The cover identifies numerous Eaton Fuller transmission models, including F-5405B-DM3, F-5505B-DM3, F-6405B-DM3, F-6505B-DM3, FM-14D310B-LST, FM-15D310B-LST, FO-16D313E-LEP, FO-5406B-DM3, FO-5505B-DM3, FO-6406B-DM3, FO-6506B-DM3, FOM-16D313E-LEP, RTLO, RTO and RTOM configurations.

Always verify the exact transmission model and application before using installation specifications from the manual.
