TAs on SMTA and into the 50 series and higher that have a direct mechanical link on the side of the Torque tube are substantially different than hydraulic TAs. Never use the clutch pedal with any TA, it has its own clutches. The mechanical TAs have a freewheeling low range and should not be used down hill coasting ever. They should never be moved deliberately or slowly, they should be moved from low to high (direct) with a rapid stroke of the lever (less than 1/2 second) They should be put into low range (TA) with a swift pull of the lever, no hesitation. This action assures the longest life of the friction materials, and is expected of the operator. All other methods shorten the system's life and heat parts beyond acceptable values. The hydraulic actuated TAs do have breaking power when engaged, but they should not be used for brakes. That is the brake's job. Out 350U has the original TA and is 50 years old this spring. It has two rebuilds on the engine, and none on the TA, its clutch, ot the master clutch. I believe we treat it correctly. JimN
