SAFETY INFORMATION
Service Procedures and Tool Usage
Anyone using a service procedure or tool not recommended in this manual must first satisfy himself
thoroughly that neither his safety nor vehicle safety will be jeopardized by the service method he selects.
Individuals deviating in any manner from the instructions provided assume all risks of consequential
personal injury or damage to equipment involved.
Also note that particular service procedures may require the use of a special tool(s) designed for a
specific purpose. These special tools must be used in the manner described, whenever specified in the
instructions.
1. Before starting a vehicle, always be seated in the driver’s seat, place the
transmission in neutral, be sure that parking brakes are set, and disengage
the clutch.
2. Before working on a vehicle, place the transmission in neutral, set the

parking brakes, and block the wheels.
3. Before towing the vehicle, place the transmission in neutral and lift the rear
wheels off the ground, or disconnect the driveline to avoid damage to the
transmission during towing.
Engine driven components such as Power Take-Off (PTO) units, fans and fan
belts, driveshafts and other related rotating assemblies, can be very
dangerous. Do not work on or service engine driven components unless the
engine is shut down. Always keep body parts and loose clothing out of range
of these powerful components to prevent serious personal injury. Be aware of
PTO engagement or nonengagement status. Always disengage the PTO when
not in use.
REMEMBER,
SAFETY . . . IS NO ACCIDENT!

The organization of MACK service manuals has SYSTEMS
been upgraded to standardize manual content GROUP 600 — CAB, TRUCK BODY

component identification. The new reference
system will help to link the information contained The second two digits of the 3-digit code
in this publication with related information are used to identify the system, assembly or
included in other MACK service-warranty subassembly, as appropriate, within each of
publications, such as associated service the groupings. The codes applicable to this
bulletins, warranty manuals, and the TS477 publication are shown at the COMPONENT
Service Labor Time Standards Manual. HEADINGS as necessary, and may also appear

first digit of which identifies the general
component grouping as listed here: Additionally, a two-character alpha code (i.e.,
[GA] CASE, MAIN) may be shown with each
GROUP 000 — GENERAL DATA operation. This alpha code, in combination with
GROUP 100 — CHASSIS the three-digit Group number, identifies the
GROUP 200 — ENGINE specific assembly, subassembly or part, and
GROUP 300 — CLUTCH, TRANSMISSION, directly relates to the first five positions of the
TRANSFER CASE AND PTO operation code listed in the Service Labor Time
Standards Manual, TS477.

T2130/T2180 TRANSMISSIONS The main case and the bell housing of the
T2130/T2180 are a one-piece casting, made from
aluminum and heat-treated for strength.

The main case has six and eight bolt openings

Magnetic Oil Filter
A magnetic oil filter assembly is built into the right
side of the main case. It consists of a trough
arrangement cast into the inside wall of the case
and a removable cover plate (1). The trough is
open at the top to collect oil. The oil is then
channelled past a magnetic plug (2), which
removes ferrous metallic particles from the
passing oil. After passing the magnetic plug, the
oil is channelled upward to an outlet, where it
returns by gravity down into the transmission
case sump. The magnetic plug is removable from
the outside of the transmission without the
necessity of draining the oil since this plug is
above the oil level. The drain plug at the bottom of
the case is also magnetic.

During disassembly, remember the sequence

in which components and individual parts are

measurements taken at four locations. Compare
one side of the shaft to the other, AB–CD as
shown in the following figure. Be careful when installing a shaft through a new
seal (or seal over shaft). Lubricate the shaft
before inserting it through the seal. Splines,
keyways and holes in a shaft can damage seals
unless care is taken. Lubricate the seal to prevent
damage during the initial start-up period, before
normal lubrication begins. Keep anti-seize and
sealing compounds away from oil seals.
If an oil seal does not have a preapplied sealant

on its outer diameter, apply an appropriate sealer
around the outside diameter to prevent leaks.
Lip-type oil seals are precision elements requiring

close attention and care during installation.

General Reassembly Instructions

Refer to the Torque and Tolerance Specification
tables for fits and limits.
Coat all working metal parts, especially the

bearings, with fresh, clean, specified gear oil
while reassembling the transmission. This
ensures immediate lubrication and helps prevent
parts seizure during start-up. (Refer to
Recommended SAE Grade Gear Oil in
TRANSMISSION SPECIFICATIONS AND
CAPACITIES.)
When installing bearings, use proper bearing

drivers. When pressing a bearing onto a shaft,
apply force to the inner race of the bearing. When
Figure 285 — Main Drive Pinion Oil Seal Tools pressing a bearing into a housing (bearing cover),
apply force only to the outer race. Do not apply
force that is transmitted through the bearing
rollers, balls or cage. Damage and premature
bearing failure can result. Always apply even
pressure to the bearing to prevent it from cocking
or distorting during installation.
As moving parts are installed, check the parts

frequently to see that they are moving freely.
