Forced Lube System

Issue/Background

The trucking industry has shown a continuing growth of available engine horsepower and torque
with demand for improved product durability, reliability and performance. These demands have
led to product upgrades which will include the internal forced lube system for the 1650 lbs-ft and
1850 lbs-ft 13 and 18 speeds.

The lube system is the same as the RTLO/F-20913 and RTLO/F-22918 but without the filter. The
filter is not included on the 1650/1850 lbs-ft models but may be added as an option.

Installation Effects
Installation requirements to the vehicle are identical to current RTLO/F-1650/1850 lbs-ft 13 and 18
speeds. Part of the lube system is external to the main case but is not visible with the clutch hous-
ing installed. All Service and Exchange units will still be shipped from the plants without a clutch
housing. NOTE: When replacing a transmission model that is not equipped with the lube
tube assembly the correct clutch housing must be ordered. A clutch housing that is not
machined to accommodate the lube tube assembly cannot be installed on a transmis-
sion with this assembly. If installation is attempted, damage will result. See part numbers
on attached parts list for the correct clutch housing.

Cut In Date
Listed below are the transmission models that will include the forced lube system and the date
manufacturing began production.
