Eaton Fuller RTOC-16909A Transmission Rebuild

That $1300 is very deceving. For an actual rebuild i.e all new gears and so on your looking at easily $5000-7500 with labor depending on what you got. In some cases it may actully be cheaper just to buy a remanned tranny and do a full swap

 

Loving it more everyday

 

I don’t care what type of clutch brake you have it is possible to replace it without removing the tranny. If it’s not a hinged or two piece style it’s going to be a beetch but it’s doable. If something with the cam type linkage inside the flywheel housing broke it’s also possible to fix without removing the tranny. I honestly doubt it’s either. I would be guessing the end pulled off one of the rods between the pedal and the side of the tranny. The only reason I see to pull the tranny is if the throw out bearing broke or pulled out of the pressure plate. As far as the high mileage on it if you’re really worried you can see quite a bit though the 8 bolt pto port on the bottom. You can usually reach at least one magnet to and see what’s on it. Hopefully just some super fine metal powder, which is normal. If the gears look good and aren’t real floppy on the main shaft I would leave it in there for a while

 

Eaton lists (or did list) all their part and kit info online.

99% of the time the gears last a long time. At one time I had access to Caterpillar's reuse & salvage criteria. A gear has to be pretty rough to be considered scrap by Cat's standards and Cat would tell you to etch each reused gear with the rebuild number and hours. At 3rd overhaul they get scrapped regardless. That could be upwards of 35,000 hours on a gear lol.

 

A clutch brake isn’t going to put the pedal to the floor, it just stops the main shaft so you can put it in gear without grinding, it’s either linkage or a spring on the disk that’s come apart, you can pull a trans in less then An hour, and the linkage is cheap enough to replace it should be done anyway with the trans out.

If you need the whole trans then you are better off buying an new (not reman), but I doubt it, I’ve got 2.2 on my 18 and when I took the cover off to install the pto gears all looked good and fluid was clean.
