Wondering if the new Eaton Procision auto trans is a threat to Allison.

Maybe for a pickup the torque rating is low it won't work in a bus,I heard it was a re labled Asian transmission

That new EATON PROCISION is available in the BLUEBIRD VISION and IC's conventional. I guess it doesn't have a torque converter so I wonder how it drives. Too small for the bigger buses but skoolies it should work ok.

It is a 2 clutch system

I knew that but I'm thinking how smooth it is compared to the forever legendary ALLISON.

60mph is 2300 rpm? Wow that's screamin. I just ran mine this week down the interstate and have no idea what my rpms were but I hit 80 accidentally a time or two with my 748. My tires are rated for 75mph. And taking a pic of your speedo while driving is incredibly dangerous even when there aren't any cars around, and running without clearance lamps is just plain wrong. So please chastise me. I deserve it. Ban me from the board. I deserve that too.
:-D

you'll break your speedo pegging it like that...
and i heard it can twist the tail shaft octagonal bearing off the transmission...good thing you let off the gas when you did...

Every Bus Conversion should go at least 80. Don't some Texas highways have higher speed limits? I wonder why big tires are speed rated slower? Are some special big tires rated much higher? Dunno.

Texas does and the buses run the 85 mph speed limit
