Daniel Jacob Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I have just purchased it 1947 Mack Series EE and I am planning to swap in a 1992 six-cylinder Renault diesel from 1992 Mack Midliner. The engine comes complete with the cab and all the cages and the front end and air compressor etc. but no transmission. It had an automatic previously that failed. I’ll be looking for a five speed that was offered with this engine. Has anyone ever had any similar experience with doing a swap like this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBWhite Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Are you looking for a 5 speed manual or automatic? finding a manual transmission clutch and flywheel for these engines in North America might be costly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 i agree with Mike. those engines and trucks for that matter are unicorns. if you find the parts you need, you are going to pay big bucks for them.

mrsmackpaul Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Daniel Jacob, parts can be from what I understand a little challenging in America for Americans as you cant just go to your local truck parts place and grab a part or even order a part For the rest of the world we are used to this so it isnt a problem or a challenge at all, plenty of these had Roadranger transmissions new from Mack in Australia so the bellhousing must be a common type I think almost every part is still available in Europe, you just need to jump on google and have a look about Good luck and keep us posted on your progress Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
