Electric shifter for Allison LCT transmissions: bolt-on unit from stone Bennett designed for simple installation and maintenance

摘要

New from Stone Bennett is the S-ES100-01 electric shifter, which is designed for use with Allison's LCT 1000, 2000 and 2400 series transmissions. According to Tim Ocker, engineering director at Stone Bennett, the new shifter has been engineered to fend off the possibility of early transmission failures that can result from stretched or incorrectly adjusted cable shift systems. Furthermore, he said, the S-ES1OOO-01's passive, "shift-and-release" operation prevents the inherent backlash problems that can be associated with cables, especially on rear-engine vehicles with long cable runs. The mechanism is considered passive because it releases all applied forces from the transmission selector shaft once a range selection has been made. This allows the transmission's detent range to operate freely, resulting in more precise engagement.
