4020dt Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Have a '97 CH E7 427 , 18sp All Mack , 740,000mi . We've had it for 300,000 or so mi . Done for the season now and about due for a clutch . 75% use in construction and rest is for farm and most of that is pulling out of fields , grain bins or elevators. Every shop I talk to talks about a 1850# easy pedal eaton new or rebuilt for half the price . Are they on the right track or what other options do I have . I'm going to have the rear main seal changed and anything else that needs to be . It's a good truck and I'm planning to keep it for quite a while so I want to fix it right . Any input will be really appreciated . TIA Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/22272-e7-427-clutch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bollweevil Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 New is the Only way to go. It doesn't matter who the re-builder is. Easy pedal is my choice.

MidniteMechanic Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Yes new is the way to go. Don't forget to resurface the flywheel. New pilot bearing, clutch brake and release shaft bushings. Release shafts and fork and input shaft if needed. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/22272-e7-427-clutch/#findComment-95083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
