Mackpro Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Here is some info on the difference between the 300 series and 200 series. And the ratios are close but there some differences. I'll see if I can find the spec sheet and post them here.t300vs200.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37296-t2180-t318r/#findComment-262537 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullfuel01 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Nice! Thanks.I had bad experience with old t200 series (synchro, shaft update that lead to almost a complete overhaul)Is the t300 series a good one?All my old t200 series shift smooth when theyre about to give up.

Mackpro Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 To me the 300 shifts smoother than the 200 series but both still seem to have syncro problems that cost $3000-$4000 to fix. Most are due to driver error though. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37296-t2180-t318r/#findComment-262568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullfuel01 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 To much part in motion because of the third countershaftfor the size of the synchro. Driver error are the biggest part in my opinion too. An old timer using the clutch to shift every gear will make high mileage with a t200. Average Joe will screw within a very few years.Just didnt knew nothing about the T300. I guess I should care more about new Mack model..Thanks for the advice Mackpro68, how long you've been around Mack?
