    So about 6 years ago i had an autoshift replaced with a weller 10 speed Part number rtx16710cpwel at a shop down in Atlanta. 3 years later it blew rear shaft out in Bismarck. The Kenworth replaced it with another weller and now its whining again like the first one did before it blew the rear shaft. I haul RVs and am never over 32k. Not looking to put another pos weller in and i dont want to buy a new eaton for 8k or whatever they are. Can someone steer me in the right direction on where to get a used one or good rebuilt one that will last more then 3 years 250k miles. 99 kenworth T2000

    He is saying to get a reman from Eaton Fuller. The people who built the transmission to start with. I have had good luck with remans from Truckpro.

    You don't want a rebuild. You want a remanufactured unit which is put back to new specs. Best to get from the orginal manufacturer like kwswan said. They will only use OEM parts. Cummins and other maufacturers do remans which are much cheaper than a new unit. Cummins states:
    Up to 85 percent of an engine can be remanufactured, and Cummins engines are built to be remanufactured multiple times. Cummins ReCon parts and engines have gone through disassembly, inspection, cleaning, calibration and testing to ensure they meet the same specifications as new Cummins parts or engines.
    Same goes for Eaton reman units.
