When your RPMs get down to 1000, you take it out of gear, press the accelerator to tach the motor up to 1500 RPMs, and drop down into the next lowest gear. Assuming you're operating this truck in North America, your transmission will either be an Eaton-Fuller or Spicer 10 speed unsynchronised transmission, and you must tach up to motor to compensate for the lack of a synchroniser gear in the transmission.
If you drop your RPMs down to 700 - 800 before downshifting, you can skip a gear in downshifting, and downshift two gears.
No such thing. Are you asking about a Super Ten transmission, or a 13 speed transmission?
The transmission shift solenoid on a Volvo s80 is located in the gearbox. It is inside the side cover and not easy to reach.
VERY CAREFULLY.

That's how you're taught - use the tach to determine when to shift, and the speedometer for recovery speed if you lose a gear. After a while, you get to the point where you know when to shift by the sound of the motor.
If you are driving a loaded tractor trailer, you would downshift to gain more power when going up hill and downshift to control speed when going down hill.
three is a fill plug at the base of the gear shift lever on top of the transmission in front of the driver seat.
Tractor trailer shift patterns refer to the specific arrangements and sequences of gears in a truck's manual transmission system. Common shift patterns include 5-speed, 10-speed, and 13-speed configurations, where drivers must navigate through low and high ranges to optimize power and fuel efficiency. Each pattern typically involves a combination of direct and split gears, allowing for smoother transitions and better handling of varying loads and road conditions. Understanding these patterns is crucial for drivers to effectively manage their vehicle's performance.
It means that not all gears in the transmission can be power shifted. Some require the clutch.
You would do better by searching on "Allison transmissions" or Eaton transmissions" or "Fuller transmissions". Maybe "Cat motors" or "Detroit Series 60 engines". The things you want to know have nothing to do with the brand of truck but with the motor and transmission and rear end.new answerthe information u need is available thru Volvo dealers mack trucks are now the Volvo dealers thru out the usathey will need last 6 numbers of your vin number to know what transmission you have, to give you the right informationI met a driver today who has a Volvo VN tractor with a 10-speed transmission, and asked him this.His truck uses an Eaton Fuller 10-speed manual, and the shift pattern on it is the same as any other Eaton Fuller 10 speed: reverse is up and to the left, 5th is down and to the right, and there's a two-speed rear axle with a splitter on it.He uses progressive shifting on his tractor: he shifts at 1100rpm from 1st to 2nd, 1400rpm to shift from 9th to 10th, and tries to space out the other shift points somewhat evenly.To get information about the Volvo iShift transmission, contact Volvo.As the above answer stated call a Volvo dealer with the last 6 of vin. Get them to send you the build sheet for your truck. Every truck is specified different from motor to trans to rear end gear. No 2 are exactly the same unless they were all built for the same company and at the same time using the same build sheet or spec sheet.
It is a type of transmission where you can shift forwards to backwards or the other way around with out having to come to a complete like normal tractors have to.
