In my 4905 I have a wet clutch Spicer 4 speed. I hear about 4 speed spicers in other buses as well. From my understanding these are a dry clutch.
My question- Is it possible to turn a wet clutch into a dry clutch? I know this is open to wise cracks, ;D but humor me ;)
If this could be done I would not mind shifting so much as the dry clutch seems to shift easier.

Hi Bryan & Folks:
Yes it can be done.
You will need a replacement, transmission, flywheel and 15" double disc clutch assy. & shift & clutch rods.(You may be able to modify your rods).
Best bet would be to find someone parting out a 4106 which would have everything you need.
I Hope this HELPS!!!
Happy & SAFE!! Bussin' to All.

How about going for an automatic?

Richard,
The more I think about it the more I feel I am loosing fuel economy and cruising speed with the auto. As most of the time is spent in fourth anyway. If it shifted and went into gear with less effort I would be fine with it. Just thinking out loud at this point. When we were working on the 7 it just slipped into gear so much easier than the wet clutch. That is what got me thinking about it.

Bryan,
If you decide to go that route, I've got a 4106 transmission, flywheel. and clutch assy that will fix you right up. PM me if you're interested.
