Overview
The PACCAR TX-18 Pro is an 18-speed automated manual transmission developed for severe vocational, heavy-haul, and mixed on- and off-highway applications.
It expands the capability of the standard PACCAR TX-18 by adding an Extreme Duty clutch, as many as six configurable reverse gears, Rock Free mode, Off-Road Calibration, and other programming intended for challenging terrain and low-speed operation.
The transmission is integrated with PACCAR MX-11 and MX-13 engines and is available in selected Kenworth and Peterbilt Class 8 trucks.
It supports engines producing up to 510 horsepower and 1,850 lb-ft of torque. The maximum published operating weight is 140,000 pounds GCWR.
The Extreme Duty clutch allows more controlled clutch slip and greater maneuvering time at high loads than the standard TX-18 clutch. This makes the Pro version better suited to dump trucks, mixers, cranes, heavy wreckers, construction vehicles, and other trucks that spend substantial time at low road speeds.
Six available reverse ratios include three deep maneuvering gears and three higher-speed reverse gears. These can improve productivity when a truck must reverse for long distances.
The TX-18 Pro should not be confused with the Eaton Cummins Endurant XD Pro. The two transmissions use closely related architecture, but the PACCAR version is integrated with PACCAR MX engines and carries a 140,000-pound maximum operating-weight rating.

Key Characteristics
The TX-18 Pro uses 18 closely spaced forward ratios and as many as six reverse ratios.
Its 14.32:1 first gear supports loaded starts, while the 0.70:1 eighteenth gear provides overdrive for road travel.
The 20.46:1 overall ratio spread allows the same transmission to operate at low job-site speeds and highway cruising speeds.
The Extreme Duty clutch uses robust components and additional thermal capacity to improve low-speed maneuverability and durability.
Rock Free mode helps the driver move a truck that is stuck in mud, sand, snow, or loose soil.
Off-Road Calibration changes the transmission’s shift behavior for rough, soft, or changing terrain. It generally reduces unnecessary shifts and keeps the truck in a productive gear.
Secondary Configuration allows the driver to switch between two transmission calibrations, such as highway and off-road or loaded and unloaded operation.
Three high-speed reverse ratios can reduce travel time when long-distance reversing is required.
Standard dual PTO openings provide up to 160 combined horsepower for cranes, pumps, mixers, hydraulic systems, winches, recovery equipment, and other vocational machinery.
How the Transmission Works
The PACCAR TX-18 Pro uses a twin-countershaft mechanical geartrain controlled by electronic shift actuators, engine-transmission communication, and an electronic clutch actuator.
When the driver selects drive, the transmission controller evaluates vehicle weight, grade, throttle position, engine torque, selected calibration, and road or terrain conditions.
The controller chooses an appropriate starting gear and commands the electronic clutch actuator to engage the Extreme Duty clutch.
As the vehicle accelerates, Smart Gear Selection determines whether every gear is needed. The transmission can skip gears when conditions permit or use smaller ratio steps under high load.
Before a shift, the controller requests a reduction in engine torque. This unloads the drivetrain so the current gear can disengage.
The shift mechanism selects the next ratio while engine and transmission speeds are coordinated. Torque is then restored.
Hill Start Aid uses the truck’s foundation brakes to help prevent rollback during a launch on a grade.
Urge to Move allows the truck to inch when the service brake is released.
Creep Mode provides controlled movement at engine idle with the clutch locked.
Rock Free mode allows controlled changes between drive and reverse when attempting to free the vehicle from loose ground.
Off-Road Calibration modifies clutch and shift behavior for natural terrain, soft soil, gravel, mud, and other difficult operating surfaces.
Common Specifications
Transmission Type
The TX-18 Pro is a two-pedal automated manual transmission.
It uses a dry clutch and mechanical geartrain rather than the torque converter and planetary gearing of a conventional automatic transmission.
Forward Speeds

Driver and Operator Experience
The TX-18 Pro provides two-pedal automated operation.
The driver selects drive, neutral, reverse, manual, or low mode with the column-mounted selector.
The transmission chooses a starting gear based on vehicle weight, grade, engine torque, throttle position, and selected calibration.
Hill Start Aid helps prevent rollback during loaded starts on grades.
Urge to Move allows the truck to begin inching when the service brake is released.
Creep Mode provides controlled low-speed movement at engine idle with the clutch locked.
The Extreme Duty clutch permits greater low-speed maneuvering time, but the driver should still avoid unnecessary clutch slipping.
Rock Free mode can help when the truck becomes stuck in loose material. It should be used only according to PACCAR’s procedure.
Off-Road Calibration can reduce unnecessary shifting on rough terrain and keep the truck in a more productive gear.
High-speed reverse ratios can improve productivity, but drivers must account for visibility, steering response, trailer movement, spotters, and job-site safety.
Maintenance and Ownership Notes
The TX-18 Pro uses PACCAR-approved transmission lubricant.
A cooler-less, non-PTO configuration holds approximately 25.4 pints.
Maximum published on-highway lubricant intervals extend to 500,000 miles or five years.
Vocational service uses a shorter maximum interval of approximately 250,000 miles or three years.
Logging, mining, oilfield, mixer, construction, and other severe applications require maintenance planning based on miles, hours, PTO use, terrain, temperature, and contamination.
The Extreme Duty clutch is self-adjusting, but clutch wear, heat events, and actuator operation must still be monitored.
The electronic clutch actuator requires proper calibration after applicable repairs.
Fluid-pressure and oil-temperature warnings should be investigated immediately.
PTO mounting bolts, seals, pumps, hydraulic lines, controls, and driven equipment should be inspected regularly.
Cooling-system components require inspection when a transmission cooler is installed.
Software updates, calibration changes, and fault diagnosis require approved PACCAR tools and service information.
Common Transmission Problems
Transmission Will Not Engage a Gear
Possible causes include low battery voltage, an electronic clutch-actuator fault, speed-sensor failure, low air pressure, an active fault code, communication loss, or internal damage.
Extreme Duty Clutch Overheating
Repeated creeping, prolonged backing, holding the truck on a grade with the accelerator, or excessive Rock Free use can overheat the clutch.
High-Speed Reverse Problems
Incorrect programming, axle-ratio mismatch, tire-size errors, sensor faults, or unsuitable application settings can affect high-speed reverse operation.
Rock Free Mode Will Not Activate
The feature may be unavailable because of excessive clutch temperature, an active fault, incorrect vehicle conditions, programming, or improper control use.
Off-Road Calibration Problems
The transmission may shift poorly off highway if the incorrect calibration is selected or if vehicle programming does not match the application.
Electronic Clutch Actuator Faults
A failed actuator, damaged wiring, incorrect calibration, clutch wear, or heat damage can interfere with launches and shifts.
Harsh or Delayed Shifts
Shift-quality problems may result from sensor faults, software, engine communication, clutch condition, driveline problems, or unsuitable calibration.
Transmission Stuck in Neutral
The transmission may remain in neutral if it cannot confirm gear position, match shaft speeds, complete a shift, or communicate with the engine.
Fluid-Pressure or Temperature Warnings
Low lubricant, leakage, incorrect fluid, heavy load, inadequate cooling, sensor problems, or internal damage can trigger warnings.
PTO Engagement Problems
PTO operation may be prevented by failed interlocks, incorrect conditions, programming, hydraulic overload, or an active fault.

Regulatory and Compliance Notes
The TX-18 Pro must be installed in a PACCAR-approved Kenworth or Peterbilt powertrain configuration.
The engine’s programmed torque must remain within the transmission’s 1,850-lb-ft rating.
The completed truck must remain within the TX-18 Pro’s 140,000-pound maximum operating-weight rating.
The truck must also remain within its GVWR, axle ratings, tire ratings, suspension limits, frame ratings, brake capacity, fifth-wheel rating, and trailer ratings.
PTO equipment must remain within the combined 160-horsepower and 610-lb-ft limits.
High-speed reverse must be configured for the truck’s axle ratio, tire size, vocation, visibility, and safe operating requirements.
Oversize and overweight operation may require permits, approved routes, bridge compliance, escort vehicles, travel restrictions, signs, flags, and additional safety equipment.
Real World Operating Notes
The TX-18 Pro’s greatest advantages appear in operations that combine highway travel with frequent job-site or off-highway work.
The Extreme Duty clutch provides additional low-speed capability but does not eliminate clutch heat.
Rock Free mode can assist in loose material, but it should not be repeatedly used after a temperature warning appears.
Off-Road Calibration can keep the transmission in gear longer and reduce unnecessary shifting on rough or soft terrain.
High-speed reverse ratios can save substantial time in logging, mining, construction, recovery, and specialty operations where long reverse travel is unavoidable.
The driver must still reverse at a speed appropriate for visibility, trailer behavior, terrain, spotter instructions, and company safety procedures.
