I have an 84 E 6 engine in a 1960 B61 , an older crank was installed that required the old lead rope seal , anyone out there that is familar with this and where to get new seal ?

Just completed a trans swap from a 6 speed mack with a lo-hole to a T2090 Mack, one problem clutch stays disengaged , I have about 1" of play in pedal but clutch will not disengage , any ideas ?just thought I would see if anyone else has had this problem before I tear back into it would appreciate feed back--thanks --rocky

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I have been reading up and learning quite a bit through your forum. I'm a long time Mack fan so this site is more than great. I have a 87 R688ST single axle Mack dump that is in great shape. I have been thinking of making a transmission change. It has a 672ci e-6 300 Mack motor with a straight 5 speed(1078). For off road work, backing with a load and just for the heck of it, I would like to put a twin stick six speed in it. The 5 speed is in great shape and I am having a little trouble justifying a swap.. However It's getting to be a long winter and it seams like it might be a good challenge with added rewards. Would anyone give me some advice on weather or not this is a good/bad idea, or if I should just leave it alone. Is it a very straight forward process for someone with good basic skills to be able to handle? Also what should I expect to spend on a used "good condition" six speed, and what would my 5 speed be worth? Thanks -Jason

Jason I have a mack X1071 6speed with low-hole 2 stick it came out of a 1984 mack are you interested --Rocky
