e9500v8 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Is the Mack T310MLR any good? I'm not up on all the new stuff. But I have a 12 speed now and thinking of going with the 310. It is the only trans I can find that will give me close to the same ratios for low gears an I like my low gears. For I do a lot of off roading (log truck). Thanks in advance for your input !!

kt_Engineer Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 T310MLR has starting gear ratio of 27.31:1 and is a pretty popular Mack transmission. You can run side mounted PTO's in stationary mode if you pick the range neutralize feature. The other option you might want to consider is T313LR (13 forward speeds and 3 Reverse). T313LR does not have a deep crawler gear like T310MLR but has starting gear ratio is 16.42:1 and reverse starting gear is 23.98:1 (better than T310MLR reverse starting ratio of 23.96:1). You might want to cost compare and see which ones serves you better.

e9500v8 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Can you make the t313lr an 18 speed ?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41343-mack-t310mlr/#findComment-301330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kt_Engineer Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Yes. T313LR is same as T318LR as far as transmission goes. The only difference is the shift knob and pneumatic plumbing which prevents the high-split from engaging for T313LR. If you ever want to convert it into a T318LR all you need is to buy and shift knob, pneumatic lines and change the range/air valve for locking pin.

rick harper Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 You don't even have to buy the knob. Just cut the tit off the selector. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41343-mack-t310mlr/#findComment-301337 Share on other sites More sharing options...
