The other thing is marking the correct teeth, correctly for the timing of both front and rear counter shafts. The service manual is correct when it says that you need an extra race to install the front counter shaft bearing, it goes much easier.

When I did this one, I spent more time cleaning than anything. The only 2 parts that didnt go through my parts washer were the main case and bell housing. Those 2 parts were washed with the pressure washer.

Its not a terrible job, just nice to know exactly how it works. It was just a blue that napa had I wanted to paint it blue for something different. When I bought the truck two years ago it always wanted to pop out of direct.

Then last month I was on the mass pike going west and it started to super growl. I stopped to look over a few things and decided to run it home to get the tow bill as low as possible. All I had left was direct in high and low. Perkins engine repair manual download. When I got the clutch off it was evident tha the monkey that drove it before I bought it had beat the hell out of it because there was springs loose inside. So as it seems I should have tore it apart before it grenaded. Might have been cheaper. I used all fuller parts.

The basic overhaul kit was $600. The gears I needed were $890 shipped. It took about 8 hours total. It took me longer because that was not the only thing I was doing at that time. You need a 25ton+ press to press the first three gears off of the counter shafts together. I detail cleaned every part I could.

Keeps someone from ordering just enough parts to do one transmission. I ran a bunch of 9 and 10 speed Meritors and I liked them better than the Eatons to drive, until I got this one with a DD15 in front of it.

I got a remanned Eaton in a previous truck when a cooling line rubbed through and ate it up inside. The Meritor reman was a better rebuild,IMO, although it was very tight when I first got it back.
