ARGO Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 The guy I drive for had an I-Shift go bad in a truck w/ several hundred miles. Any guess what a factory reman goes for? How about 13 LARGE ? And if the core is bad, add another 5, not incl labor. You'd have to see the movie to understand.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Mayer Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I guess I'm missing something....if the truck only had several hundred miles on it, why is it not covered under warranty....which is 750K miles.

Seems something is missing in the OP's post. Maybe it was a used (out of warranty) truck and the tranny failed after "several hundred miles"........which could be lack of due diligence prior to purchase - or just bad luck. (??)

ARGO Posted December 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 No, I said "several" because I didn't know the actual mileage. I know if there was a warranty in effect, this guy would be ON IT. He owns 14 Volvos, and this one was bought new several years ago, could be a mil by now. Just stunned by the price.

That price isn't a whole lot different than any manual transmission re-man. Gold-plated manual reman is $3500 Manual IRAN ( Inspect / Repair As Necessary) runs $1200 to $2000.... The spare 10 speed RoadRager that came in the spare parts with the old Freightshaker had all bearings and a some gears replaced and reassembled for $1600. Millions of manuals are in the system so the shear numbers keep the prices regulated fairly low......auto-trannys are a far less precentage of the tranny population so the high prices reflect this as well as the much more complicated / complex nature of the autos increase the high dollar parts count that is missing in the manual tranny.... When you lose your auto tranny you have no real choice but to buy a gold-plated replacement......the auto-trannys truck is tied to the original tranny and to change to other tranny is a large chore so best just bite the bullet and pay $$$ and consider the price the cost of playing the hobby-trucker-game. Now the actual replacement cost for a manual transmission might seem cheep compared to a auto...... but......the $hifter / computer for a manual tranny tends to consume a lot of cheese burgers and beer so.....might cost more eventually.....

I have a vibration that comes from the shift lever. As soon as I put my hand on the shifter it stops. Mine did the same. Just split a piece of heater hose so it fit tight around the air lines and round lever and tape back together. Really works. Eaton started putting a shift lever isolater on the lower part of lever just above the trans. You can buy them or there's an aftermarket also. Your lever has to be taken out of trans cut apart welded in. I really didn't need the isolater. Heard about the hose on an antique trucking forum. Truckers like to use synthetic oil (more noise) but I still use mineral oil in my eaton 13 speed RTO 14613 I even modified a old school chrome L-D-OD shift knob to work.
