All LENCO transmissions can be shifted with levers or a CO2 system. Since all LENCO transmissions utilize the same internal gearing design you can easily change from a manual shift set up to the CO2 configuration or vice versa.

No alterations to the transmission, other than the external operating system itself, are required.

A LENCO launch ratio is determined by the sun and planet gear ratio (CLICK HERE FOR RATIOS). In all instances the transmission is then shifted to a 1:1 direct drive ratio by depression of the adjustable shift tower plunger. This action compresses an internal clutch pack which results in a final driveratio of 1:1. Remember that each separate case contains it’s own gearset/ratio and when connected to additional cases multiple ratios are realized. The shifting process removes multiplication factors and subsequently results in all gear-sets, after the final shift, being locked to a 1:1 ratio.

Shift pressure is adjustable, whether it be for one case, all cases or anindividual case in a multiple case configuration. This pressure adjustability gives you considerable control when fine tuning your available power application to specific track conditions.

If the first 300 feet of track is excellent, for instance, full shift pressure and instant lock-up may be desired. If, however, the track is loose from 300’ through 500’ you can soften the shift pressure to maintain desired wheel speed and traction. Every track differs from day to day or hour to hour. With a simple shift pressure adjustment you can easily compensate and control slippage. This is not possible with a traditional cluster gear transmission.
