I have a 2006 Freightliner Columbia with the Mercedes MBE 4000and Eaton Ultra Shift transmission. 650,000 miles on it.
Recently I had a problem with the truck failing to go into 2nd gear when coming to a full stop. The truck would not move. I set the brakes, put on my 4 ways and kept trying to shift it from F to N to R to N to F. After about 2 minutes of doing this and reving up the engine a bit while in N it finally went into gear.
It has done this 3 times now. About a month apart.
Anyone know what causes this or how to fix it.
I am suspecting that the clutch brake is not engaging and that the clutch may need adjusting.
