mercedes-benz — Mercedes-Benz Service Manual for Arocs 964 (EN)

Gearshift, manual (G5H) Transmission General In combination with the optionally available trans- missions G 141-9, G 230-16, G 231-16 and G 260-16, the new Arocs features a newly devel- oped cable shift system (Cable Power Shift (CPS)). In the cab the manual shift consists of the shift unit mounted on the engine tunnel which transmits the driver's shift command over two cables to the shift mechanism at the transmission. CPS is a manual shift system with manual power transmission of the shift and selector command from the driver to the transmission over a shift and selector cable. An additional power-assisted gear shifting function reduces the control forces that need to be applied.

The armored cables can transmit both pull and push forces. The manual shift is only available in cabs with a width of 2300 mm and not in vehicles with flat cab floor. In semitrailer tractors the manual shift cannot be combined with the secondary water retarder (B3H) or the hazardous goods package (ADR). The cables mean that driveline vibrations are not transmitted to the gearshift lever. Together with the power-assisted gear shifting function the new shift system provides car-like comfort with short shift travel and low control forces.
