1965 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 All I could find on eaton website was a easy pedal for Mack with only 1760lb of torque rating; MP8 has 1860lbs. Part#208925-92 everything I've heard & read says you need torque rating above engine rate any help here would be greatly appreciated thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47480-easy-pedal-clutch-for-mp8/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 The only thing I see different is the # of springs in the clutch discs; Mack,Volvo calling for 9 where others only have 7 wonder what difference that would make?

mrgumby Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 the pressure plate should have more clamping force also Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47480-easy-pedal-clutch-for-mp8/#findComment-350422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Yes & that's what I want; higher torque rating; springs in the disc I think are for clutch chattering & for shock on crankshaft Mack/Volvo wants or has to be different Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47480-easy-pedal-clutch-for-mp8/#findComment-350429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkruss82 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 If your MP8 is rated at 1860 ft-lbs you'll need a VCT+ clutch rated at 1860 or higher. The Mack 9-spring will be getting a rating increase in April of 2017 to match the 1860 ft-lb engine rating but Eaton will not warranty the current 9-spring at 1860. your correct about the springs in the disc dampening the chatter and shock from the crankshaft.
