    Got a 2008 Cascadia, Series 60 motor with a 13 speed Ultrashift. It is Eaton RTLO-16913L-DM3.

    I did a bit of digging and the X-Y shifter motors are the same for the Ultrashift and Ultrashift PLUS. The computer connectors look the same, so does anyone know if I can swap my older generation Eaton AMT for a newer generation? Maybe a FO-18E313-MHP? I would love the Hill Aid, Neutral Coast, Skip Shifting and all the other cool features that the new generation of Ultrashifts have?

    I don’t know why in the world anybody would want ‘Neutral Coast’, one of the basic things one is taught about operating a manual transmission vehicle of any type, is to never ever put the transmission in neutral, or push the clutch in going downhill!!

    Neutral Coast gets a 1% improvement in fuel mileage.

    You trust that computer? It’s also a get way to end up in a ditch at the bottom of a hill. Go ahead, it’s your truck, your life.
