Maxville Truck Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I have a very unique truck!!! a 1996 Mack MR (former Garbage truck) with a mechanical e-7, and an eaton ceemat automatic manual transmission. I shortened the wheelbase, installed a fifth wheel, retrofitted the garbage truck hydraulics, so i can operate an end dump, or a 2 line hydraulic system. I am using it to haul silage right now pulling a Northern trailer, live chain floor with hydraulic tailgate. Ill get some pics posted soon (ITS KINDA UGLY). It's a joy to drive, with the best of both worlds automatic shifting but durability of manual transmission. Just wondering if anyone has ever had experience with these trannies?

shortstack Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Is it a 10 speed autoshift? Trey Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/20603-eaton-ceemat/#findComment-85996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theakerstwo Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 It is a auto shift with a converter instead of clutch. Quote glenn akers Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/20603-eaton-ceemat/#findComment-86060 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxville Truck Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Its technically a 9 speed..... When you put it in drive it engages "4th", press the accellerator, it picks up speed, then locks the torque convertor, continues to accelerate, then defuels, makes the shift like an autoshift, to next gear, acellerates, shifts and so on....... shifts as fast as humanly possible no grinding....

shortstack Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Don't guess I'm familiar with those. Trey Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/20603-eaton-ceemat/#findComment-86648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
