The shift forks and rails are all located within the aluminum cover which is bolted to the top of the gear case. Let me know what you all think and if you can point me in the direction of other topics here to research that would be great. The SunCoast Type-D Full Synthetic transmission fluid also has a slightly lower viscosity at lower temperatures than the competitors fluid, decreasing parasitic drag during normal driving conditions. For use in worm gearboxes and in gearboxes that have bronze gears and thrust washers which require extreme pressure gear oil. These environments are not limited to hot shot driving, sled pulling, drag racing, and the Texas Mile. Features and Benefits: Outstanding low temperature performance and sheer resistance Dramatic improvements in thermal stability during endurance environments Optimized frictional properties that can provide smoother shifting during low temperature operation, reducing shudder and vibration Outstanding resistance against sludge and deposit formation Improved anti-wear protection, which directly contributes to extended transmission life Unsurpassed low temperature stability Resists foaming and thereby promotes outstanding operation Sold as a 1-gallon bottle.
As technology has evolved, so has transmission fluid. Yes others testimonial reports are helpful and appreciated but I like proven data. Here, I want to be specific. This coincided with a boost to 610 lb-ft torque and 325 horsepower from the Cummins 5. Should be used where drain periods may be longer than normal due to equipment being away from home terminals or difficult access. The new system should hold around 15 quarts give or take a little.
Another popular lube came up to temperature with just one pass. Especially appropriate for bowl mills, pellet mills, rock and coal crushers, machine tool gearboxes, gear heads, soy bean oil extractors and other industrial applications. Either the engine specs lie, or the transmission can take more than 450 lb-ft, despite its rating. Using helical gearing with all speed gears in constant mesh and all speeds synchronized, this transmission will handle 450 ft-lbs of torque, and vehicles with a combined gross weight of 19,000 pounds. If you cant afford to service the vehicle properly you shouldn't own it.
. Now since this transmission is new and literally sitting on my shop floor now with zero miles, I wanted to start its life off with some quality fluids. The shift lever is located in the shift cover bolted to the top of the shift cover and operates the shift forks and rails directly. The reverse gear and forward gears 1-4 are mounted inside the main transmission case. However, with several years, and many miles under their belts, most of the manufacturers have determined the best methods to manufacture bullet proof replacement parts, leaving a wide selection of proven parts now available. The main differences between the two versions concern the larger input and output shafts used in the heavy duty version. This way I could truly track what its addition to service life would be and overall quality.
This is when SunCoast made the decision that this was an area they should definitely become more familiar with, knowing this is how they are protecting their units. Over the next 2 days I plan on getting the swap completed. Dodge set out to revise this attitude with the release of the 6. We provide incredibly reasonable prices on quality parts. Sadly this society is more about throw it away after it breaks instead of preventing it from breaking. Drive gear thrust reaction is controlled by a needle type thrust bearing located at the forward end of the mainshaft. The clutch is 330 mm in diameter instead of the 300 mm version found in the 2000 and prior years.
Block the front tires with four pieces of small 2x4 boards. I have always had transmissions flushed and changed out and always demanded a new filter be installed. I know companies like Royal Purple have testing facilities and groups of mad scientist cooking stuff up and trying it out. Unfortunately, many of these facilities do not drop the pan or change the filter, which I find scary. I threw a couple small parts at it and in doing so I realized overall wear was a factor and I think a bad seal deep within needed replaced.
In addition, they have also added very specific viscosity modifiers, seal and swell additives, and anti-foam additives. I'm hoping maybe someone here can shed some light on this topic or add to it. The 450 Lb-ft input rating is a continuous and conservative input rating for a long transmission life. If this is a canister spin-on type filter, you can dissect the filter and check for metal and frictional material in the filter. Okay back to the topic lol. We're concerned about the chemical engineering that goes into the replacement oil. Amsoil Series 2000 75W-90 - Many have reported success with with this oil.
For automatic transmissions, here's the Valvoline approach:. Tapered roller bearings support the drive gear, mainshaft, and countershaft in the gear case. You won't be shy about towing or any 5. For the best online deals you can visit which always have good deals listed. Dual cone synchronizers are used for first and second gears, similar to the T5 design. Sun Coast can use this to determine the amount of degradation that transpires during a drive cycle. A new fly-wheel has an improved, larger pilot bearing, too.
The transmission can easily withstand higher torque from diesels with aftermarket power kits, but transmission life will be reduced in proportionately. At SunCoast, they have been on the leading edge of this development. My truck is sitting around 80k miles with limited modifications for performance. The transmission kit also included a remote mount transmission filter that must be installed with the new transmission. I will take plenty of pictures of the transmission upgrade to share with you guys later.
I had planned for some power enhancement later so it seemed wise to get a better built transmission first. Through their independent testing, they were able to verify that this was an improvement over anything they had seen to date. That goes for all fluids in my opinion. Thanks for the thoughtful questions and the humor that never ceases to put a smile on my face when I read your comments. Well at 80k miles you have to be honest with yourself and assume a rebuild for this transmission isn't out of the question. It basicly keeps the sulfer in check and does not have an effect on the light metals. That was another fear of my local shops.
