Eaton 18 speed transmission

[kjames]

I have a 2020 Peterbilt 389 with 18 speed transmission. When shifting from direct to overdrive the transmission shifts in hard when I let off the accelerator. Peterbilt said o rings leaking oil and replaced them. Still doing the same thing.

Did it based off the troubleshooting manual.


Here’s that manual for the 18 spd…

Where I found that. And the parts manual is there too.

Thank you very much. Peterbilt should know that but so far haven’t fixed it. Still under warranty.

If you haven’t, I’d highly recommend servicing your air dryer too.

Thanks. I’ll do that.
