Eaton Fuller FRO Transmission Overview

[@joelconner5936]

In the video, you said the top plate usually can’t be removed without removing the transmission. Well, luckily, I have a truck that ALLOWS top plate removal in the truck!! 2004 Sterling LT 9500 has a big enough access hole around the shifter to allow the top plate to be removed. It’s right, but it can be removed thru that hole!! I’m having low to high issues. Gonna trouble shoot several things today!! Great video!! Thanks for posting it!!

God bless you for this information I'm used to working on school buses recently I started working on boom trucks and Moffett trucks and I am having problems with air dumping on the high-low you just solved my problems thank you God bless you

[@DavidReyes-fd3qz]

Very good explanation

I have a ? Sir I have a 10 speed that from high to low won’t go like it should unless I move my shifter sideways or put it in gear I hear it drop to low , there’s no grinding at all and my synchronizer was changed a few years back because it was doing the same thing but from low to high gears , do you think synchro went bad again?

[@bassin_uce3732]

I'm putting together the same transmission at work but when I try to put the auxiliary (back section) back in the synchro will open up and spit the springs out. is the synchro bad?

I'd love to put one of these behind a 5.9 Cummins in a 2 ton truck I'm piecing together. Where would I go to find a compatible flywheel (maybe off a freightliner, etc) and flywheel housing (is it SAE2 ?) with a good 14" clutch to make it work?

[@CadeIvy]

They do make a SAE 2 flywheel housing for these transmissions, but it’s very rare. I found one on a sterling crane truck with a c7 caterpillar in it. The truck had an 8ll transmission in it but the bell housing is the same for that transmission and a 10 speed

FR O 15 2 10...i believe the 2 Stands for Two Countershafts!

Hey buddy I got RTO ten speed in a Nissan 265 when it's cold it makes this awful smack sound when I change from 4th to fith when I lift the range button .... The gears in fourth whine louder before that shift change so I don't stay in that gear to long the more acceleration the higher the whine... been doing it for years..much respect to you for any help cheers

I mean years

that model number is RTX16710C

[@jacobsouthers9162]

hello sir , i own a differential business and this past Friday i received a call from a gentleman DESPERATE for help !! he had an 2002 freightliner with trans problems ! i explained that that's not what i do however he convinced me to help him !! NOTE ive never seen the inside of a eaton transmission let alone fix one but long story short i rebuilt the rear box over the weekend but the truck wont shift to low range , any ideas on that issue ???

[@CadeIvy]

Check the air lines on the range shift piston it’s on the back of the transmission and it’s located externally because it’s an RTX. Also make sure that the transmission is in neutral before attempting to range shift. The transmission will not range shift while it is in gear

Thanks

Does the back box have to be timed

[@joelconner5936]

Yes the back box needs timed. Theres a dot on the gears that need lined up. There’s a video someone else posted, showing how to time the back box.

Hi..I hav watch ur video.. I got problw with my 10speed gearbox .. Truck goes in high gear , but not in low gear ..

[@CadeIvy]

Check you splitter system first, one thing you can do if you have the FRO transmission is remove the aluminum splitter module on the top of the transmission, and next to me of the bolt holes there will be two small approx 1/4 inch holes with o-rings. The key will be to pressurize these holes one at a time. Pressurizing one will but the transmission in hi range, and pressurizing the other will put the transmission in low range, make sure there are no internal leaks between the two holes, and verify that the internal piston is moving, then troubleshoot accordingly
