Can a auto shift be converted to manual?

yeah, I did it many times.

what to do mechanically, I sugest you know (swaping tranny cover and some air lines work with range unit/splitter if you have eaton)

Electronic works - to rewire VSS and reprogram ECM. There are some hidden traps, so if you'll start, be carefull with ECM passwords.

 

Are you saying an UltraShift can be converted to a manual with clutch peddle, shifter, and all that good stuff???
if so talk to me...

thx,

There is a good grinding machine man im my town, he made plate to install shiftstick on X-Y motors place and I did conversion w/o changing tranny cover.

To install clutch pedal is easy. I used to install mechanically controlled clutch and hidrolic clutch with air servo (from MAN F2000 with Eaton).

I also installed range inhibitor valve (i programmed ECM out pin for 30 MPH speed) and with this valve I cant shift range down at speed higher 30 MPH.

 

why would somebody want to shift range down at 30mph thats almost 50kmh

i never used to downshift range at more than 15kmh , mostly when i stop some people used to change range down while they braking( for example on red light) i always change down only when i stop this is more healthier for gearbox only

only place when i down shift range group is on steep short hills but max at 20kmh, and gently as possible

 

Ouh, you cant imagine how many dumb drivers ruining transmissions.

 

but 50kmh is too fast -it is already faster than low range , i think now modern eu trucks have 40kmh , even this it too fast i would put 25-30 kmh

 

it is easy to reprogram. 30 kmh, ok, no problem
