Manual Truck Transmissions

Shift into Reliability

Let's face it, trucks are expensive to operate; that's why we built the MBT manual truck transmission with an eye on lowering cost. Smart design ensures efficient power transfer to the rear axle, which means better fuel economy. Our special sealed bearings go longer between transmission oil changes, keeping you on the road and out of the shop.

Steely Durability

Designed for strength and durability down to the smallest parts and components, MBT transmissions have special sealed bearings and heat-treated gears and shafts to keep debris from damaging the transmission. All our transmissions are housed in lightweight aluminum alloy to increase payloads, and maintain the highest durability.

Heat-treated Gears and Shafts

Designed tough to withstand the trucking environment, larger gears with helical gear faces reduce noise by allowing more gear contact and a smoother ride.

Lightweight Aluminum Housing

Aluminum alloy housing with an integrated bell increases maximum payload.

Clutch Performance

When it comes to the Mercedes Benz manual transmission, the clutch is clutch. Equipped with an innovative, hydraulic clutch release system for smooth actuation, our easy-shifting transmissions are fully synchronized for lower shift effort through all gears. And because our ZF Sachs clutches are specific to Mercedes Benz transmissions and engines, you get better performance and fuel efficiency every mile.

World-class Customer Support

It takes a network. And we have an extensive one. With over 10,000 factory-trained technicians in more than 800 locations in North America, parts and service are never more than a day away.
