1996 International 3800. dt466. Meritor 10 speed
I've got an International 3800 w/dt466 (mechanical) and an Allison at545. I'd like to swap to a manual. I'm looking at a local and cheap 10 speed, which leads to many questions:
1) Has anyone here done such? (Big truck trans to dt466 mechanical.)
2) The Allison is the SAE #3 housing, does that make my flywheel housing a #3, or is it a #2 with a removable #3 adapter?
3) Was there a #1 flywheel housing made for the dt466 mechanical? If so, what's the part number?
4) Getting rid of the Allison will get rid of my parking brake. Has anyone adapted the brake onto a "big truck" transmission? Or has anyone used a pinion (or other) brake? (I have hydraulic brakes so I need a parking brake.)
5) Where can I find brake/clutch pedals and linkage? (Someone mentioned a 4700 series International...true?)
Thanks for any helpful info, especially any links to great documentation.
