Jeds Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Hi, Awesome site here, looks like a lot of information is held here. My first of many question to come. Just brought home a 1965 B 61 twin screew I has the 5 speed main but it seems like the aux is a 3 speed it will not shift over left and up. Could this be right? There is no shift pattern plate.ThanksJ Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40177-new-guy-with-b61-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Sounds like Triplex. Look at drivers side of transmission for model number. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

j hancock Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 If it is a triplex is there any combination I should avoid using?The gear ratios are fairly progressive. Depending on which transmission number you have, there may be some overlap or redundant gear ratios.Check out this link. Open the pdf up, scroll down with your trans number and it will give the ratios in each gear.http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/tutorials/article/37-b-model-transmission-data/ Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Freightrain Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 If a double OD version things are a bit different compared to single OD version. The model number will tell all.IE: TRT 722 is single over. TRT 7220 is double over. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
