Understanding Your Fuso Canter Duonic Transmission.
The Fuso Canter Duonic transmission simplifies driving by using advanced computers to control clutch operation and gear shifting. This means drivers only need to focus on the accelerator and brake pedals.
The transmission has two oil systems: a hydraulic side for the clutch and a manual transmission side. The hydraulic system uses a dual wet clutch, which is lubricated with hydraulic oil. The oil volume is carefully managed to ensure smooth power transfer from the engine to the transmission.
Why Regular Servicing is important
To avoid premature failure of the clutch and hydraulic components, regular maintenance is essential. This includes:
- Replacing hydraulic oil
- Inspecting and replacing the internal filter
- Reprogramming the clutch
- Gear Position Programming
Gear shifting in the Duonic transmission is controlled by advanced actuators. During servicing, proper gear position programming must be carried out under specific conditions, which is why it should only be handled by experienced technicians.
In the last two weeks alone, Josh has replaced two of these Duonic transmissions, both failing as a direct result of poor maintenance.
The Duonic transmission is a sophisticated automated manual transmission, it’s basically a manual transmission, operating without a clutch pedal or gear stick.
Instead, gear shifting is managed by advanced computers and actuators.
Due to the complexity of the Duonic transmission, it is vital that they are serviced regularly and by an experienced technician.
