Fuller RTX-14710C Transmission Vehicle Compatibility

The Fuller RTX-14710C Transmission for sale is compatible with numerous heavy-duty Class 8 truck models, including but not limited to:

• Freightliner Cascadia (and predecessor Columbia, Century Class)

• Kenworth T680 (and predecessor T660, T600)

• Peterbilt 579 (and predecessor 387, 386)

• Volvo VNL (multiple model years)

• International LT Series (and predecessor 9200, 9400, ProStar)

Note: Newer model years of these tractors increasingly use automated manual transmissions (Eaton Endurant, Detroit DT-12, Volvo I-Shift) rather than the RTX-14710C 10-speed manual. The 1998 production date on this RTX-14710C suggests it’s well-suited for older model year applications where manual transmissions remained the standard option.
