How to Drive a FAW J6 Heavy Truck Without Using the Clutch and Correctly Shift Gears?
1 Answers
When upshifting and accelerating in a heavy truck, you can shift gears by releasing the throttle momentarily without using the clutch. However, during deceleration, it becomes difficult to control the engine speed and driveshaft speed, so it is recommended to use the clutch for shifting operations. Here are the relevant details: 1. Features: The FAW J6 platform's engine, transmission, and drive axle—the three major assemblies—have reached international standards, setting a new benchmark for the development of commercial vehicles in China. The core power of the 2490 series is the independently developed 6DN and 6DL engines, which meet international standards, with power ranging from 280 to 460 horsepower. Among them, the 6DN engine is one of the largest displacement and highest torque engines in China. 2. Main Power Configuration: The 2250 series primarily features engines introduced from Germany's DEUTZ, with power ranging from 130 to 280 horsepower. The transmission is the FS10209, jointly produced by FAW and the U.S.-based EATON. The drive axle is China's largest φ500 single-stage reduction axle and φ485 through axle, independently developed by FAW based on Nissan Diesel technology, with an optional self-developed φ300 wheel-side reduction axle.
