    Ok
    As i said earlier the Air leak from 1st Tank ( out of 3) and the gear issue started simultaneously.

    When driving ODD gears the air was building and leaking all along.

    Now fixed the AIR LEAK and it stopped taking the EVEN gears too

    I have the MANUAL OPTION but i drove it in AUTO MODE....somehow the truck has learned to skip the EVEN and keep itself in ODD gears

    Usually the splitter fails which is responsible for odd and even gears. Either control housing or input shaft has excessive play and not letting gears split. You would feel jumping in reverse if input shaft was damaged so I would look at control housing before anything maybe internal harness
     
    KEVIN S and Siinman Thank this.

    Also changed CLUTCH/ACTUATOR/REAR MAIN SEAL/ SELENOID/small AIR LINE/PILOT BEARING....as we had to take down transmission
