levi schneider Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Well today my the back half of my transmission broke off and almost droped the lower gears on the road. What are some options that i have? Its a triplex in a b61 thermodyne with no turbo. Any help would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifth wheel Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Put another transmission in. I hate to see failures like this, don't see a trace of gear lube anywhere. You come to right siteFW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levi schneider Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 no wasnt towing anything i just got it running and ran it around the block was going about 10 mph and wham thats when it hit do you guys know what kind of options i have on just replacing the case or do i have to change all the gears and everything. Not a tranny man i can usally fix alot of stuff but this is out of my area. I dont think i could weld it to much pressure on it. So we will see i hope it dont cost to much if thats the case i might have to part with her. Wife is deff not happy about the situation.

rhasler Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Not to be flippant, but: your transmission= Gallagher + ripe watermelon! Hope you can find a replacement. Quote "Mebbe I'm too ugly and stupid to give up!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theakerstwo Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I have seen them do that and most time its from getting in two gears at once. Low split and when you go into direct the low side fork comes lose and if your moving slow enough it will stay in low and go into direct then bang. Also a hard pull with big HP may do that. Look at the PAI website for parts. Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkobes43 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Yea... wow thats amazing. My only advice is to get a new tranny. Sorry to hear about the trans tho. Now i should go check my trans fluid before i get it runnin. Tom Quote "Nothing Breaks Wind Like A Bulldog" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levi schneider Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 How do you find out what model transmission you have? Ill need to start there i guess and start searching for parts. Bruckners mack has one mechanic that is a wiz a B models im going to call him tomorrow and get some input from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I've seen the same thing,also.Like Glenn said,most of the time from getting the aux. hung up in two gears.Chances are pretty good your main box is still OK,you'll just have to find a back section.

Mike Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Man I hate it for you. I hope you can find the parts or whatever you need. I would get your mechanic to go through the whole tranny. I've seen on different threads in the BMT web-site this company PAI, and have looked for it and have never found it. PAI must be a short name for this parts company. Can someone shed some light on this company? Regards mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what kind of hoops you have to jump through to create an account with them, but if you know an OEM part number the link above will let you check their catalog.

Mike Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Many Thanks rhasler for the info. I did a quick look but did not pursue the site yet but will in the a.m. I do have the part# from the link you posted yesterday. I took that part off the engine last night by tapping on it with a rubber hammer, so it dropped into the oil drain pan on the floor. Took my water pump to the Machine Shop today to weld back on the bolt hole which was broken off I found. I could not get the pump from the housing so left it on. It was not leaking fluid but it needs to come of. Tried last night putting heat to it but no cigar. Hi Glenn, hope all is well with you. Sorry for stealing the thread! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK Trucking Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Amen to what Glenn & Mike H. said! We had that happen to a DM600 with a quad box. The end of the compound stick was worn, and as the driver rounded a corner, he tried to downshift from Hi Split to Lo Split. The stick apparently jumped out of the hi split/direct rail leaving the compound still in hi split, then the stick got into the lo split/lo lo rail and put the coumpound in lo split at the same time. When any manual trans gets into 2 gears at once while the vehicle is moving, something has to give!!!!!!
