Transmission Mounted

Cable Actuated Transmission-Mounted Parking Brake

A transmission mounted manually operated parking brake is mounted to the transmission extension housing and it incorporates a case assembly and a cable actuated 9x3-inch Bendix brake assembly.

The case assembly consists of opposed mounted roller bearings, companion flange and mainshaft assembly installed in a one-piece aluminum housing. On F-Super Duty Motorhome vehicles only, the speedometer is driven by the speedometer drive gear, splined to the mainshaft. The case assembly has its own lubrication supply, separate from the transmission. The parking brake is applied and released by a parking brake control.
