Features
Hydraulic PowerShift (hot-shift) operation for 10-bolt automatic transmission apertures, including Allison and Caterpillar
Ductile iron bearing cap - 117% stronger than gray iron predecessor
Enhanced clutch pack with 80% thicker steel discs to resist premature tooth wear
O-ring sealing configuration between housing and bearing cap improves clamp load and reduces vibrational effects
Nine speed ratios including low and high speeds
Wet spline lubrication option provides 7 to 10 times greater shaft life
Electronic Overspeed Control (EOC) protects driven equipment; SmartStart reduces shock load at engagement
Rotatable cast-iron flanges reduce pump clearance interference; positive stop for driveline outputs prevents oil seal damage
Hose included - no separate order required
