Question on the full manual VB

The only 518 full manual VB that I found is a Grinner with trans brake. This is a overdrive but non lock up 89-93

Is there a full manual VB with out trans brake?

For 518 over drive non lock up?



Diesel Transsmission Technology in British Columbia built the Manual VB i spoke of above , I can't remember if it had a transbrake in it or not. It might have because the Cummins needs to build boost at the line and that would sure make things easier.



Easier on everything except the reverse band and the forward clutch! I don't know if I want to sit on top of a trans being fed 1300FT/LBS of torque from a Cummins seeing 60+ LBS/Boost, being held in both low and reverse. I'm not saying they don't make a Trans/Brake for diesel 618's - I'm just looking at the "mechanicals" of using one. Sorta like "Yeah, I CAN load 600 grains of black powder into my muzzle loader, but should I?



That's why I said ... I can't remember if ... , Bill built the manual VB because he knew the driver would have killed the trans with an auto shifting VB.
