Attn: Pablo, need info on Volvo Vt1414 transmission

try to find as VT1412 in EU. really in EU volvo calls 14 st tranny as 12 st becouse low gears are marked ad C (Crawler). 14 - is the top torque tranny is designed for, so it is 1400 NM, and really they use this tranny on FM trucks with 380 HP enginerys. But tranny is not so weak.

Try to find transmission ID plate on top of bellhousing, you can easily find parts numbers with Impact On Line using this ID, but some parts are in EU only.

Really this tranny is popular, really popular, but IMO, I like fuller for cheapper parts.

I saw VT on conventinals but I'm not sure is it sychro version ore not. With synchro Volvo install clutch servo (you can depress it so easily, like in car) but you can skip gears and use clutch for shifting, like you drive a car.

 

what engine? VT1414 was used with low power D12A-C engines. In EU 6 gears and splitter were synchro, C-(low-low) and R had no synchro. Tranny had no brake.

what a truck? Wight? ore Early FH/FM? what engine?

Really old Volvos were sweet, but unfortunatly it is not so easy to find so old truck in good shape....

 

This is D12A, the first one, was made from '93 to '98. Really old engine, mechanically it is similar the d12d and D12C.

As I can see 380HP version

Engine ECM is very simple, does not support J1587 and J1939 so cant be used with newer auto transmissions.

The ECM core is weak, so newer use non Volvo priming pump. Exessive fuel pressure destroys ECM cooler and boards inside. Use only priming pump on filter unit.

Really it was greate truck, but so hard to find in good condition
