General instructions
Practical advice
Prior to any work:
– Clean the major unit and its surrounds (See Driving Servicing Handbook, "Vehicle washing").
– Ensure the batteries are disconnected.
– Mark the pipes and wiring harnesses, if necessary.
– Protect all ports to prevent the ingress of foreign matter.
– Before disconnecting an air pipe, drop the circuit pressure.
– If liquid is splashed onto the bodywork, clean quickly with a cleaning product recommended by RENAULT
TRUCKS.
Preparation prior to assembly:
Carefully clean and check all the parts.
Do not unpack a new bearing until you are ready to install it. Do not clean off the protective grease on new
bearings.
Old seals and lock-plates must be discarded and new ones fitted.
Never force fit parts with copper or brass punches or drifts. Always use a specially adapted driver to prevent
ingress of metal particles into the casings and bearings. Always oil parts prior to force fitting.
Always apply grease on the inside of seal ring lips.
Shrink fitted parts are to be heated with a hot air blower or in an oven. etc. Flame heating is strictly forbidden.
When using a torque multiplier, calibrate the torque wrench/multiplier unit at the required torque loading.
Fastening, locking, sealing and adhesive products:
Prior to assembly, carefully clean the product application surfaces of the parts. Old product residue is to be
removed. Threaded portions are to be brushed, tapped and, if necessary, cleaned with a suitable product.
Using the product:
Always adapt the recommended product while observing the utilization conditions appearing on the pack:
– Surface finish,
– Working temperature,
– Reaction, drying, etc. time,
– Shelf life.
Observe the assembly method so as to guarantee the quality of the repair.

Presentation of the gearbox
The gearbox consists of 3 main parts.
– The clutch casing (7), which also serves as front wall for the gearbox.
– The basic gearbox casing (13), which contains the primary shaft, the secondary shaft, the countershaft, the
reverse shaft, the selector mechanism integrated in the transmission control unit, together with the range
change and the splitter.
– The range change casing (3), which contains the epicyclic gear train for the range change and the output
shaft (10).
The principal gearbox parts are:
– Primary shaft (8),
– Secondary shaft (9),
– Range change (10), with selector mechanism (4),
– Intermediate shaft (11), with disc brake (6),
– Reverse shaft (12), with oil pump drive shaft (5),
– Transmission control unit (1), with gear change mechanism.
The countershaft and reverse shaft gears and all the basic gears are on the secondary shaft, with the range
change sun gear on the secondary shaft. The countershaft gears are fixed.
The range change, which consists of an epicyclic gear train forms integral part of the output shaft.
The oil pump drive shaft forms integral part of the reverse shaft.

Transmission control unit
The transmission control unit is located above the gearbox.
The gears are selected by means of the gear selector. When a gear
is selected, the system first of all reduces the engine torque to an ac-
ceptable level and the gearbox is put into neutral.
When the gearbox is in neutral, the engine speed is adjusted so as
to choose the correct engine speed for the gear selected and the
gear is then engaged.
The control unit casing cover serves to house the following compo-
nents:
– 3 electrical connections,
– 1 transmission control unit (TECU),
– 9 solenoid valves,
– 1 pressure sensor.
The control unit casing cover includes 3 electrical connections:
– I: vehicle communication ,
– II: retarder,
– III: clutch.
The control unit casing cover serves to house 9 solenoid valves:
– 1: solenoid valve 1
