JoeH Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago (edited) Loooong shot but does anyone have experience putting an electronic transmission on a mechanical engine? I have a 1988 RD690S with an EM6-300L and a 7 speed Mack trans. We're rebuilding a volumetric mixer for this truck, and I'm wondering if I could modify the truck to run an Allison HD4560p transmission. I have a cable shift HT740 which would be easy, but it only has a PTO on the top which is a horrible setup. Useless. Pros of auto trans: PTO isnt clutch dependent. Can put any idiot in it to drive. Cons: grafting the trans and engine to work together. From what I can figure so far, I'd need a flywheel/housing, Bell housing, etc, Throttle Position Sensor adapter, and a few other sensors to feed into the Transmission Control Module.
