Eaton Extends Warranty on Two Manual Transmissions, Clutch
Commercial vehicle supplier Eaton Corp. has extended the warranty coverage for two of its most popular heavy-duty 13-speed and 18-speed manual transmissions and a clutch.
New truck customers who choose either an Eaton RTLO 13-speed or 18-speed transmission, a Solo Advantage clutch and Eaton-approved lubrication will now receive a 7-year/750,000-mile warranty on the transmission and 5-year/500,000-mile warranty on the clutch, Eaton announced through its Truck Components Operations division in Galesburg, Michigan.
Eaton said its PS-386 Synthetic Transmission Fluid is designed to optimize performance in Eaton transmissions.
“Our rugged manual transmissions have been the trucking industry standard for years. That robust design, coupled with the one of industry’s best clutches and lube offerings, has allowed us to provide our customers with these free warranty extensions,” David Karnes, Eaton’s vice president for commercial vehicle sales in North America, said in a statement.
Eaton introduced the program July 1, and it will remain in effect until June 30, 2017, for all makes and models of new trucks purchased in the United States and Canada.
Eaton Corp., with world headquarters in Dublin, Ireland, has its North American regional headquarters in Cleveland.
