I need some info on a Spicer 6453 transmission common on the bigger 5 Ton military trucks...anyone familiar with them? My Autocar had a Spicer 6452 direct drive. My trucks never going back into serious work & so I decided to swap it for the 6453 which I was told was identical except gear ratios were faster & 5th gear OD instead of direct on the 6452.
So theres 4 or 5 fittings on the shift cover with plastic plugs in them. The 6452 doesnst have this & I have no idea what theyre for??
Any help greatly appreciated.
Here’s a picture of a 6453. Note the plastic cap plugs...what gets plumbed into here...what does it do & where can I get a schematic?
