Gasoline powered chassis can use either a column mounted transmission gear selector lever or a dash mounted shift selector keypad. Diesel pushers almost exclusively use the electronic keypad. So, just how does this keypad work? There are a number of different keypad styles used. While the above keypad may not exactly represent your particular keypad, it's functions and features are similar.
The keypad has a few buttons on it to select the various functions. In addition, there is an LED display to display information as well as an amber 'mode' LED.
The Allison 3000 and 4000 series transmissions as used in diesel pushers do not utilize a park brake. That function is supported by the big yellow know on the coach's air brake system. You begin by putting your foot on the brake and selecting either R to go into reverse and backup or D to go into Drive and move forward. The left display will illuminate 6, which indicates that it will automatically shift into 6th gear. This doesn't mean that you are actually 'in' 6th gear. It means that this is the maximum gear that you have selected.
When driving in mountainous terrain you may find that you will want to drop down a few gears when descending grades to let the engine better retard your descent. In this case you can use the up and down arrows to change this setting. Note that the Allison is a smart transmission and will automatically upshift to a higher gear if the RPMs get excessively high.
