It is compatible with Volvo models including FH series, FM series, FMX, and VNL, as well as Mack Granite and Pinnacle trucks. It is also fitted to Renault Trucks Kerax, Magnum, and Premium models to ensure precise gear selection.

Installation and maintenance

For professional installation, technicians should verify the end-fitting geometry and cable length against the specific gearbox model. Ensuring correct routing through the cab transition helps prevent premature wear. Check the compatibility list to ensure exact fitment for your specific chassis and engine configuration.

Troubleshooting and selection
