GENERAL
INFORMATION
The Getrag G360 transmission
is
used exclusively
with
the
Cummins turbo diesel engine.
It is a
heavy duty, 5-speed, fully synchronized manual transmis­sion
(Fig.
1).
Fifth gear
is an
overdrive range with
a

ratio
of
0.77

HEATING
AND AIR
CONDITIONING

• (e) If compressor clutch cycles 3 to 10 times per
minute with temperature between 20°C-32°C (68°F-
90°F),
the cycling switch is normal. If the compressor
clutch fails to engage, check for continuity in the elec­
trical circuit. Above 32°C (90°F) the compressor clutch
may be continuously engaged (non-cycling) due to the
high heat load. This condition is normal.
(4)
Refer to the Evaporator Heater Assembly for
the Removal/Installation procedures.

TESTING
THE
SYSTEM
FOR
LEAKS
If the air conditioning system is not cooling properly,
check that the refrigerant system is fully charged with

R-12.
Follow the procedures in the Sight Glass Refrig­
erant Level Test section of this group.
If the refrigerant system is empty or low in refrig­
erant charge, a leak at any of the line fittings or
component seals is likely (Fig. 4). To detect a leak in
the refrigerant system, perform one of the following
procedures as indicated by the symptoms.

Leaks

EMPTY REFRIGERANT SYSTEM LEAK TEST
(1) Evacuate the refrigerant system to the lowest
degree of vacuum possible.
(2) Prepare a 14 oz. refrigerant (R-12) charge to be
injected into the system. (3) Connect and dispense 14 ozs. of refrigerant (R-
12) into the evacuated refrigerant system, (4) Proceed to Step 2 of Low Refrigerant Level
Leak Test.

LOW REFRIGERANT LEVEL LEAK TEST
(1) Review the Safety Precautions section of this
group to determine if there is still R-12 in the refrig­
erant system. (2) Position the vehicle in a breeze free work area
to make it less difficult to detect a small leak. (3) With the engine not running, use an Electronic
Leak Detector, or equivalent, to search for leaks in
the most accessible areas first.
(a) Fittings, lines, or components that appear
oily usually will implicate a refrigerant leak.
(b) To inspect the evaporator core for leaks, it is
possible to insert the leak detector probe into the opening on the right side of the instrument panel.
COMPRESSOR OIL LEVEL It is important to have the correct amount of oil in
the A/C system to ensure proper lubrication of the compressor. Too little oil will result in damage to the
compressor. Too much oil will reduce the cooling ca­
pacity of the system and consequently result in
higher discharge air temperatures.
To provide the desired balance for adequate lubri­
cation and cooling capacity, each compressor is
charged with 135 ml (4.6 oz.) of oil at the factory.
The oil used in the compressors is a 500 SUS vis­
cosity, wax-free refrigerant oil. Only refrigerant oil of the same type should be used to service the sys­
tem. Do not use any other oil. The oil container should be kept tightly capped until it is ready for

use,
and then tightly capped after use to prevent en­
trance of dirt and moisture. Refrigerant oil will quickly absorb any moisture it comes in contact with.
After the compressor has been installed and operated
in the A/C system, the oil will be distributed through­
out the system. Some of the oil will be trapped by com­
ponents in the system. An equivalent amount of oil
must be added to the system to compensate for the
trapped oil when replacing the following: • Evaporator Coil: 59.2 ml (2 oz.)
• Condenser: 30 ml (1 oz.)
• Filter-Drier: 30 ml (1 oz.) It will not be necessary to check oil level in the
compressor or to add oil unless there has been an oil

loss.
Oil loss at a leak point will be evident by the
presence of a wet, shiny surface around the leak. Replacement compressors are also charged with
135 ml (4.6 oz.). When replacing compressor; remove,
drain oil, measure amount and discard old oil. For
the replacement compressor use the same amount of refrigerant oil as recovered from the failed compres­sor. This adjustment is not needed if the system has
been flushed, removing retained oil. The Compressor Oil Level Adjustment Chart
should be followed to determine the need to perform
an oil level adjustment. Check oil level (basic fill) as follows: (1) Slowly discharge complete system.
(2) With system discharged, disconnect suction and
discharge lines and remove compressor. Drain and dis­ card oil through suction port and discharge port on top.

(3) Add 50 ml (1.7 oz.) of clean refrigerant oil
through the suction port.
(4) Install compressor.
(5) Install the suction and discharge lines to the
compressor. Use new gaskets to prevent leakage.
Tighten the line nuts to 23 N*m (200 in. lbs.) torque.

OVER-ALL
PERFORMANCE
TEST
Humidity has an important bearing on the temper­
ature of the air delivered to the vehicle's interior.
This is true of all air conditioning systems It is im­
portant to understand the effect humidity has on the
performance of the system. When humidity is high,
the evaporator has to perform a double duty. It must lower the air temperature and the temperature of the
moisture carried in the air. Condensing the moisture
in the air transfers a great deal of heat energy into
the evaporator fins and tubing. This reduces the amount of heat the evaporator can absorb from the
air.
Evaporator capacity used to reduce the amount of
moisture in the air is not wasted. Wringing some of
the moisture out of the air entering the vehicle adds
to the comfort of the passengers. However, an owner may expect too much from their air conditioning sys­
tem on humid days. A performance test is the best
way to determine whether or not the system is per­
forming up to standard. This test also provides valu­ able clues to the possible cause of trouble.
To perform the test the air temperature in the test
room must be 21°C (70°F) minimum. (1) Connect a tachometer and manifold gauge set
(Fig. 5).
(2) Set A/C controls to MAX A/C, temperature le­
ver on full cool and blower on HIGH. (3) Start engine and adjust rpm to 1,000 RPM with
A/C clutch engaged.
(4) Engine should be warmed up with doors, win­
dows and hood closed.
(5)
Insert a thermometer in the left center A/C
outlet and operate the engine for 5 minutes. The A/C
clutch may cycle depending on ambient conditions.

(6)
After 5 minutes note the discharge air temper­
ature. (If the clutch cycles take the reading before
the clutch disengages).
(7) Open the hood and disconnect the gray vacuum
line going to the heater water control valve. Observe
the valve arm for movement as the line is discon­ nected. If it does not move refer to the heater valve
controls sections of this group. Plug the vacuum line
to prevent leakage.
(8) Operate the A/C for 2 more minutes and take
the discharge air temperature reading again. If the
temperature increased by more than 2°C (5°F), check

the blend air door cable for correct operation. If tem­

(9) If the discharge air temperature fails to meet
the specifications in the Performance Temperature Chart, refer to the diagnostic analysis charts for fur­
ther test information.
