easy box was the 16 speed zf manual. We had one of the first 1998 alpha 1 C10 380 cat with the eaton 16 speed. Very bad gear box we had 3 gearboxes in that truck before it was 12 months old. to our surprise we fitted a eaton twin splitter. Easy fit. never had a problem after that
We recently priced up a new gen DAF XF - asked them if they can put a manual gearbox in and the dealer said “it’s 2023, we don’t do manual lorries any more”
