What is the model of the 10 speed? My dad bought a W900L with a 10 speed (don’t remember the model number, but it has a goofy number). But from everything I’ve heard they’re bullet proof.
My dads W900 has high gears in the rears (3.55, IIRC) but drive by around town you don’t get into high gear. Shifts nice and smooth.

Anyone know what's involved in putting an auto shift in place of a regular manual trans? 3 pedal setup?

Don't remember. I think it's a FRO15210C but I laid the build sheet down somewhere and can't find it.

Ah. The one in my dads W900L is FRO-16910. Guessing if they’re anything like the road rangers it’s the same trans just different torque ratings?

Should be very similar, but yes, different rating. I think a 16910 is an Autoshift...

That sounds like the perfect formula for a successful business model.

Simple solution, they ship container loads of squatting Slavs in Nike track pants to drive for them too.

FRO is the metric series, good transmissions.

What makes a metric transmission vs a standard SAE transmission?

Not sure the reasoning, but all the bolts are metric and it's a metric series u joint. They say "metric" on them in big letters, and all the ones I've looked at have an external speed sensor.

I knew I forgot this. The only time I've seen a tanker like that was one hauling out of a sewage treatment plant.
