Well, the transmission drain is gong to be a recommended 750K miles. It has been 500K miles for many, many years. But this Eaton trans is NOT an automatic. It is a auto shift manual transmission. It has a clutch and is a manual trans. The only difference is that a computer is engaging, disengaging the clutch and shifting the gears. Just an updated critter of what Eaton has already had on the market. And as a class 8 truck owner, will not option them when I buy a truck. For those that just are steering wheel holders and only drive down the interstate, they are fine. For those of us that have to drop and hook trailers in some interesting lots daily, and have to travel the less populated roads of the northern tier of the country, there is not way I am risking a breakdown with this nonsense in my truck.
I'll keep my Eaton 18 spd manual.
