Topic Forced Lube System – Clutch Housing Information

An internal forced lube system has been added as a running change to Eaton® Fuller® 13 and 18-speed
transmissions rated for applications at and above 1650 lbs.-ft.

Important note: If you are replacing a transmission that was not originally produced with the
internal forced lube system, you will be unable to reuse the original clutch housing. A clutch
housing that is not machined to accommodate the forced lube assembly cannot be installed on a
transmission with this feature.

A “halo-style” tube (see illustration) between the transmission

clutch housing and main case is a feature of the forced lube
system. If installation is attempted with an incorrect clutch
housing, damage to the tube and transmission will result.

Note: The correct clutch housing gasket, 4304815 must be used with the forced lube system. The
gasket must be in place before installing the lube tube assembly with the beaded side facing towards
the transmission case.
Following are models affected by the changeover to the forced lube system and production timing for
the change. Transmissions built prior to the changeover will require a clutch housing change to
accommodate the lube system.
