Two three-speed synchromesh transmissions are used
as standard equipment on 10-20 Series (1/2 and 3/4
ton) trucks. The Muncie transmission incorporates all
helical gears which are machined from drop forged steel
gear blanks, heat treated and shot peened for strength and
long life. The shafts are machined from high grade steel,
heat treated and ground to close limits.
The rear end of the clutch gear is supported by a heavy
duty ball bearing at the front end of the transmission case
and is piloted at its front end in an oil impregnated bush­
ing mounted in the engine crankshaft.
the mainshaft is piloted in a double row of roller bearings
set into the hollow end of the clutch gear and the rear end
is carried by a ball bearing.
The countergear is carried on roller bearings at both
ends while thrust is taken on thrust washers located be­
tween ends of gear and front and rear of the case.
The reverse idler gear is carried on ball-indented
bronze bushings while thrust is taken on thrust washers
located between ends of gear and front and rear of the
case.
