Markshr151 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 What where or who is the 13 speed in my 99 CH 613 gold bull. It makes me went to cry thinking it's a Renault trans . It says Mack Renault on the tag. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50532-renault/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renault is on the tag of your superb T2130 triple countershaft Mack-designed Maxitorque transmission because it owned Mack at the time. Your transmission was designed at the former Mack Trucks' Engineering, Development and Test Center (ED&TC) in Allentown, PA, the truck capital of the world, and built at the iconic American truckmaker's powertrain plant in Hagerstown, Maryland. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50532-renault/#findComment-375525 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamsterGrrrl Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 BTW, what was the real torque capacity of the Maxitorque transmissions? I've heard 2250 pound foot, but I've always suspected it could handle more. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50532-renault/#findComment-375532 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackpro Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I believe the T300 series can handle anything but we had a MP10 605 destroy a T318 last week. Good thing it was under warranty. Never seen a counter shaft in the back box break in half before Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50532-renault/#findComment-375582 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bought a shaft retaining plate and I was able to fish the junk out of the front box. Was feeling confident so I had told the boss, before we bought, to avoid T200 cause you wouldn't know if the rear output mainshaft was upgraded. What a jinx, we got 7K miles on it and "pop". Have they come up with any other rear shaft improvements since 2010 (other than the high torque output shaft for cummins)? I don't see any.

fjh Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Have they come up with any other rear shaft improvements since 2010 (other than the high torque output shaft for cummins)? I don't see any. Wouldn't call that an improvement That output shaft CHANGE caused nothing but grief ! Of it ain't broke don't fix it! Kind of like the three bolts on the spur shaft If ya got a good idea don't mess with it!
