    Yes, I find 15.06 but that is reverse. I don't find 14.47. But I could be wrong, won't be first time.

    Below is part of Eaton's excel file page for 18 speeds.

    After really looking it shows the 15618A which cannot be compared to the 7 or 9 series. The 6 series used an overdrive back box in stead of the underdrive rear box like the 7 and 9 series. The 6 series is considerably weaker and ends in .85 if I remember correctly
     
    Oxbow and KVB Thank this.

    T318LR & T318LR21 are 16.41 low & .71 top gear. The T318 & T31821 are 13.44 low & .71 top gear. Mack also has a 10 speed transmission with a 17.35 low & .73 top gear with the T310ME21...which has 6 gears in the low range and 4 in the high range, with the entire low range available in both forward AND reverse.

    I've got a Spicer 1241c sitting in the shop floor. Don't really need the 4 speeds and there is some debate if it will hold up behind the N14.

    I've looked at a Fuller AT1202. That seems like the best option if I wanted to go with a auxiliary.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.
