Does the Eaton FS6306x Transmission Have a Clutch Brake?

[FawnaFox]

I've recently learned that some medium to heavy duty manual transmissions have clutch brakes, and they require different clutch work then ones without clutch brakes. I'm worried that my bus might have a clutch brake and that I've been burning it out by pushing the clutch all the way down for every shift! I don't want to destroy my bus. I get conflicting answers, so please if anybody knows is an Eaton FS6306x transmission has a clutch brake, please let me know!

(Also is there a thread for just transmission problems? My bus has a Cummins engine but this problem isn't really a Cummins problem so..)

You shouldn't have a clutch brake. Those are usually on large constant mesh transmissions. Think Eaton road rangers. Your transmission is a synchromesh unit. The clutch brake is to stop the input gear so it can be put in gear without clashing.

Ok, I was just worried.. and I couldn't get reliable enough information. Thank you for clarity.

I know that with International you can get a "build sheet" (line set) on the bus and it will detail ALL the major components used to build you bus.
You might want to reach out to Freightliner parts counter and see if they have something similar. Have your vin handy as they will need it.
I'm betting they have something similar.

IF you have been clutching to shift, and the shifts happen nice and smooth, you DEFINITELY do not have a trans that is equipped with a clutch brake. You DEFINITELY have a synchronized transmission, much like a car or light truck.
