This course is designed to give a basic understanding of the operation and overhaul of the Fuller RTLO 13 and 18-speed transmissions. This includes RTLO-XX713, RTLO-XX913, RTLO-XX718, and RTLO-XX918. This course will also cover vehicle systems and how they interact with each other to cause common vibration complaints. These systems include the complete drivetrain and the vehicle. 

During the classroom portion, technicians will be exposed to the theory of operation and an in-depth review of the shift control system. Additionally, technicians will be instructed on failure analysis techniques specific to this transmission, which are essential in determining the root cause of failures necessary to establish warrantability. They will also be exposed to the theory of operation and troubleshooting procedures for efficiently correcting vibration complaints and on the calculation of joint working angles.

Upon completion of the classroom presentation, the overhaul portion will continue into a hands-on tear down and reassembly of a Fuller RTLO-XX918 performance transmission using the correct tools and techniques. Technicians will also learn the latest troubleshooting techniques and cover common, everyday experiences in repairing vibration complaints. In addition, the technicians will be exposed to the latest industry diagnostic tools including the (DVA) Driveline Vibration Tool.
