High efficiency, high output transmission

An automated truck transmission, comprising:

• an input shaft configured to couple to a prime mover by a clutch;
• a countershaft having a first plurality of gears mounted thereon;
• a main shaft having a second plurality of gears mounted thereon;
• an output shaft selectively providing a torque output to a driveline;
• a shift actuator structured to selectively couple the input shaft to the main shaft by rotatably coupling at least one of the first plurality of gears to the countershaft and the second plurality of gears to the main shaft, wherein the shift actuator is mounted on an exterior wall of a housing, and wherein the countershaft and the main shaft are at least partially positioned within the housing;
• an integrated actuator housing, wherein the shift actuator is operationally coupled to the integrated actuator housing, and
• further comprising a clutch actuator housing, wherein a linear clutch actuator is positioned at least partially within the clutch actuator housing for actuating the clutch and wherein at least one of the linear clutch actuator and the clutch is self-adjusting, wherein the integrated actuator housing comprises a single external power access for the shift actuator and the linear clutch actuator.
