HBW10-2r Gearbox Needs Replacement: Anyone Have Any Advice ?

I'm researching a replacement for a hbw10-2r made by Hurth. i bought a zf10m but i believe it will take a different damper plate and has a little bit different gear ratio. the old hbw10-2r has a 2.14/1 ratio (I believe) and the zf10m has a 2.04/1 ratio. the shaft to the engine is much smaller on the zf10m. the old transmission was working fine except the engine and trany could not be alligned due to slop in the trany. the engine is a universal diesel model 5424. any suggestions? thanks, mike

Welcome to the forum Mike.
I don't know what that tranny is but I wish I had gone with a Twin Disk instead of the Velvet Drive...its damper plate is plastic with just over 2 cm of transmission spline entering it....yeh...I've already trashed the FM splines once.

I replaced my hbw10 with a zf12 at the recommendation of TMI in Ft. Lauderdale FL. I think it is the same as the hurth 2.14/1. (also have the 5424 engine). So far so good after 1300 hours.

Could you give us a little more detail? I'm not sure I understand. Why not just fix it?

Mike, The alignment? Sounds very unusual unless the output flange on the trans was wobbly which is very unlikely. Did you see this or are you taking someons word?

I have a whole rebuilt trany sitting out here in my garage. Too bad you're so far away.
