M916 Replacement Transmissions

[Mark2X2]

Just curious, I see a listing for a M916, it says it has a 9 speed transmission, shows a shift lever and clutch pedal. I have driven quite a few in active duty and reserves, all had the Cat 16 speed. Is this a replacement transmission or did Uncle Sam have them with 9 speeds. Can't post it or I will get in trouble, PM and I could tell you where I saw it.

The only other tranny other than the original cat 7155 is the Allison HT4070 7-speed upgrade. Sounds like someone has done some custom work.

You may be mistaking the Jake Brake actuating pedel with a clutch pedal. I've never seen a military M915/916 or other 900 models with a manual transmission.

I have driven M916 & M920's, I own 3) civilian tractors I know what I'm looking at. It is a clutch pedal and shift lever.

I saw that truck last week, its definitley a road ranger and thats definitley a clutch pedal. I cant tell if they left it 6x6 though. I'd bet its an air actuated clutch set-up.

Got the PM, checked the link, you are correct Sir. The seller may have had issues with the CAT transmission and done a transplant rather than attempting a repair or putting another CAT transmission back in.
