Aiiison 300MH trany service
Our 2004 Cheetah has 73K on it and I have owned it since 2007. Is it time to change the Transynd fluid and filters? Not having any problems to date. Any ideas of what this service might cost?

This is the oil pan I bought for doing my oil changes. A standard oil drain pan won't hold 19 quarts. They make this same one with a pump to pump out the waist oil but I have a forklift so for me I just lift the pan higher than the container I am draining it into and open the valve.
Oil drain pan
I just use the same old Rubbermade bucket I use for oil changes. Line with black HD trash bags for easy clean up. Use an old coffee can and funnel to transfer oil fluid to pail when finished. With a pail you have one quart left over-- I usually just ask the service department at the Allison dealer for an empty Transynd gallon jug and pour off the quart before I put the new fluid in the transmission.
All the mechanic work I have done over the years I wish I had bought this pan years ago. I like the expanded metal grate it has makes it easy to drain oil filters and I can't drop the oil plug in the bottom of the pan. The wheels keep me from sloshing the oil out when getting the pan out from under the vehicle. Now I just have to remember not to run over it.
