    2016 Freightliner automatic, my transmission is kicking out and going to Nuetral putting me on the side of the road every day from 4:30 - 6:30 pm when the outside ambient temp is above 94 degrees. I am not running hot or having any radiator issues.
    Anyone know how to fix this Detroit Tranny issue or can I install a 13 speed into this DD15?

    I did a transmission service with new fluid 4 weeks ago. That didn't change anything. I can drive this truck all night with no issues, around 4:30 pm it goes to Nuetral, only when the day temperature is above 93. If it's raining or over cast it does not happen. I flushed the radiator 9 months ago.

    You can, but you'll need to change the parameters in the CPC and MCM. The drive shafts are probably not the same length, you'll need a clutch pedal with a master and slave cylinder, a new clutch and possibly a flywheel. It will probably be faster and cheaper to get the DT12 fixed. Their fairly reliable for being an automated trans.
