| Transmission | SynchroShift |
| Type | synchronized |
| Gears | 12 forward and reverse |
| Clutch | dry disc |
| Standard transmission | Four gears (1-4) in three ranges (L/M/H) with right-hand shuttle lever. Gear shifts are synchronized. Shifts between medium and high ranges are synchronized, but the tractor should be stopped to shift to or from low range. Sychronized shuttle shifting. The 12-speed SynchroShift was standard on the 7840 SL. Dual power was an option with the SynchroShift, turning it into a 24-speed transmission. |

| Transmission | ElectroShift/Pulse Command |
| Type | four-speed power shift |
| Gears | 16 forward and reverse |
| Clutch | wet disc |
| Oil capacity | 64 qts 60.6 L |
| Standard transmission | Four power shift gears arranged in two synchronized ratio groups (1-4 and 5-8). Two synchronized ranges (low/high) and right-hand shuttle. Clutch must be used to shift range or move between the lower (1-4) and higher (5-8) gear ratio groups. Push-button power shifting between the four gears in a ratio group. Push-button de-clutching on the shuttle lever allow shifting without the foot clutch. The 16 power shift was standard on the 7840 SLE. |
