vision386 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Came up in conversation today with a fellow driver,i know you could get a vendor trans. behind a Mack engine ( Spicer,Fuller,Eaton etc.) but wondered if you could get a Mack trans. behind a vendor engine? Ie: Cat,Cummins,Drip-Troit. I was not 100% sure but do not recall seeing any such installation (at least not factory) anybody know for sure?.......................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

turckster Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 A Mack trans should work on all those engines. Bell housing bolt patterns should be the same. Only problems would be adapting clutch linkages and rear mounts-if equipped.

Solution Superdog Posted March 22, 2014 Solution Share Posted March 22, 2014 Tons and tons of old Cummins powered Macks had Mack transmissions. I've also seen a RWS770 with a 12 speed,and a CL733 with a 18 speed Mack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35122-not-sure/#findComment-238544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
