Eagle brake parts have never been hard to find ,they will cross over to the R series Mack trucks in the same time frame.Norris told me that years ago when I needed 2 "S" cams it worked I walked into Mack with one and the parts guy went to the  back and brought me back 2,now you need the model and vin number so the person can look it up on a computer screen for 30 minutes

I'm on my way to the Eagle rally in Ruidoso NM and drove 400 miles yesterday. I tried a few hard stops and never had the clunk sound in the front end.
I am cautious to believe I fixed my problem with new brakes and parts.
Plan to arrive Ruidoso Wednesday to meet the group.

Most of the time when you take up all the slack in air brake system the clunk goes away you will probably be ok.Now I have a question do you have a manual for the Voith transmission ? I am helping a guy that has a Houston Metro.It is nice bus he had a slide installed ,roof raise with 15 caps and windshields he is getting a little down, the conversion process has started yet,I need to get it to move he is thinking about just to forget about it and sell it for what ever  he can out of it.I think he told me he paid Bob 35k for the HWH slide install.What I need to know does Voith have a way to interlock with a add on of any type ,I know the slide has something lock out in the Voith,It is machinal 6v92 with a electronic controlled Voith   P.S I was going to call but lost your number

Yes I have the manuals.  Jim Sheppard gave me his.
The voith has to to be in neutral to start, so there is a circuit through the shift pad that completes the circuit.

It starts in natural ok it just goes to do not shift,I can do the limp mode in 2nd gear by removing the 2 spacers on the transmission at 3 and 9 o'clock but it will start in 2nd with no air build up it's not a good idea, all I need are electrical schematics,thanks David I will call you in a day or so
