I have a Spicer 1062B 6 speed transmission in beautiful shape for 400.00. Same gearbox used in 1980's vintage Prevosts and MCI's. Includes the clutch assembly. | ||

I was wanting to know more about installing a 10 speed roadranger in a 1970 Eagle 05, now it has a 4speed manual. Bob greeenwood could you tell me more about 4x3 12 speed? Is it a simple change out or is there alot of frame cutting and modifying required? Thanks | ||

almost all swaps you will have to change driveshaft lenghts.the standad H-pattern thru 4 gears,then you hit a air switch on the shifter & go thru the same four again,then you hit another switch on the shifter & go thru the same 4 again,not a simple job, probably needs 200 feet of air hose ,comes with the shifter to install next to driver.if I remember correctly top gear is .84 overdrive,& I imagine you wouldn't use the first 4 gears unless you were tackeling something really steep from take off,I have an extra 4 speed & it apears to be 'about' the same length,but much fatter trans than the 4 speed,it would take someone with knowledge & time to hook it up | ||

Carter. It will fit fine. 9 speed 10 speed 13 speed all fit. The only hard part is the change over to 1 shift bar from 2 assuming you now have a 4 speed stick. | ||

I am just completing a change in my MC-7 from 4 speed to a 10 speed RTO (not all 10 speeds have overdrive), I changed to a pull type clutch, adapter plate on your bell housing and the small trans clutch housing worked for me. | ||

This is one of the assembly befor installation. To clear the turbo we cut a 16" sq. out of the floor and ran the shift rod (from a 5 speed Prevo) down the tunnel and out the floor.  |
