seven speeds forward and one reverse reverse and first gear are both torque converter driven with lock-up in first through seventh gears each shift is individually modulated for maximum smoothness shared oil circuit with torque converter Controlled Throttle Shift and Directional Shift Management maximize shift smoothness and minimize shift drive-line stress electronic control has built-in diagnostics and fault code memory, event memory and programmable features single-lever shift control provides automatic shifting in all gears up to the one selected by the control lever

service brakes - forced oil-cooled/variable capacity - Electro-Hydraulic controls - sealed front and rear disc brakes - individually serviceable parking brakes - spring-applied, hydraulically released - uses same disc brakes as service system - toggle switch activated secondary brakes - spring-applied, hydraulically released - common with service brake system

retarding system - hand operated lever provides modulated engagement of service brakes for retarding - retarding applied to all wheels (40/60 split, front and rear) - Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) (std.) traction system - Traction Control System (TCS) (std.)
