Just installed Eaton reman in 2013 Pete, the original transmission still had four days of warranty left and eaton would not warranty because it still worked. Bearing out, getting hot and pumping oil out the breather, had dealer install rebuilt trans and new clutch and this transmission makes so much noise at idle it truly makes you sick to listen to it. I was told that a lot of them rattle like this after rebuilt. Shifts terrable, then eaton sends me conformation that this carries a three year warranty. WHOOPIE DO!!! Hell they would not warrant the original one. NO MORE EATONS?? What the hell do you do???
Buy me a dam Freightliner so I can have something different??

Mr.Winters isn't at all specific about the complaints. Hard to be of any help with out some more information. I have no affiliation with Eaton but if you think the metric crap is better you go for it. My next question is there an Eaton District rep involved and I mean in a direct way outside the dealership? Don't like results ho over his head. I have had good luck but I'm here. More info might help.
At this point I understand your frustrations. I do. Attacking it with knowledge is your only hope.

Art to be specific, I am not asking for advice on how to solve a problem here, I am asking folks if they have had a positive or negative experience with these transmissions.

My neighbors only lasted one week, and now the factory won't stand behind it. They said he over reved it, and they could tell because the metal inside turned colors. When he offered to have cat down load the ECM and print out a report to prove that he never did that, they got real pissy with him, and told him that if he wanted to spend $500.00 that they would send the metal off to a lab for analysis.

I learned along time ago not to waste my money on reman drive line components. So many people around here have had bad luck, with the "After market rebuilders" that our more reputable shops will refuse to install them. When I heard that eaton started a reman program I thought perhaps we finally had a decent option in the world of reman, but the feed back on this so far hasn't been good.
