Does anyone have or no where i can get a 4 over 4 gearbox for a Volvo FL6 please
A Volvo dealership, perhaps? But Volvo have always done 3-position gearboxes, not 4, even on heavy trucks.

We used to have an fl6 with a 4 over 4 box in it in the early nineties. That was a 17 tonner, another fl6 had a straight 6 in it
Mine has got a straight six and the ratios are too wide apart but a mate has got a 4 over 4 with crawler and reverse
and its much easier to drive when loaded
I got a 3/3 box but the ‘4th’ gear has gone so its a ■■■■■ to drive at 44T as maxing 3rd gets you to just over 20mph but then 5th takes an age as the revs are so low untill 35mph, probably ruins mpg.
