Description
About the Cat CX31 Transmission
The Caterpillar CX31 is a 6-speed automatic transmission built for heavy-duty work. It uses a high-capacity torque converter, a hydraulic control system, electronic controls, and heavy-duty gearing, and it is found in construction, mining, and heavy-truck applications paired with Caterpillar diesel engines.
This is a commercial part, not a passenger-car transmission. Fitting it is a commercial driveline job, and the unit is electronically controlled, so it must be matched to the engine ECM and the vehicle controls. Confirm the host machine, the engine, and the exact configuration before you buy.
Because this is a high-value used unit, ask for the serial number, the rebuild and test history, the input and output configuration, and the control-module and software compatibility for your application.
What To Confirm Before You Order
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Host machine and engine | Confirm the exact machine or truck and the CAT engine |
| Configuration | Mounting, input and output, and control module by serial |
| History | Rebuild and test history for a high-value used unit |
Things to Confirm Before Ordering
Confirm the exact host machine or truck and the Caterpillar engine.
Confirm the mounting, input and output configuration, and gear ratios by serial.
Confirm the control module and software compatibility (it is electronically controlled).
Confirm the rebuild and test history for this high-value used unit.
What Is Included, What Is Not Included
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| INCLUDED | The Caterpillar CX31 transmission as confirmed by serial. Call to confirm the exact configuration, the control module, and what is included for your application. |
| NOT INCLUDED | Engine, ECM, wiring, cooler, driveline, fluid, and any control module or software are not included unless specifically confirmed in writing. |
| Tools You Need | Commercial driveline installation only. The CX31 is electronically controlled and must be matched to the engine ECM and vehicle controls by a qualified heavy-equipment or heavy-truck technician. |
Vehicle Compatibility
The live page lists a very broad set of machines, trucks, and engines. That list is too broad to take at face value; the exact fit depends on the serial, the engine, and the control configuration.
| Vehicle | Compatibility |
|---|---|
| Caterpillar machines | Various (per live list); confirm by serial |
| On-highway trucks | Various brands (per live list); confirm by configuration |
| Confirm | Serial, engine, and control module for your application |
The live applications list spans many Caterpillar machines, several on-highway truck brands, and other-brand equipment. Because a single transmission cannot be a universal fit across all of those, treat the list as a starting point only and confirm the exact fit by serial, engine, and control configuration before you order.
Fitment Assistance
Not sure the CX31 matches your machine or truck? Call (240) 301-0095 or email support@vazautosolutions.com with the host machine, the Caterpillar engine, and any serial information. We will help confirm the configuration, the control module, and current availability.
