Hzjcm8, I have a rather unusual question. When we first bought our new coach, I could swear that I had a transmission dip stick, I know I checked it once. Then, when I took it into service for it's first 5,000 mile check up and fluid change, I went to check the dip stick and there was no dip stick, just the locking piece on the end.
When I mentioned it to the service shop, they said that they don't have dip sticks that the level is checked from the transmission pad. Again, I know I'm not crazy as I remember pulling a dip stick once when it was new.
Can I get a dip stick from Allison?
Thanks,

Mr. Mark,
I asked my old friend (still at Allison) and he said you should have a dipstick. They must have lost it at the service place. Allison supplies the transmission with a short dipstick only. The chassis manufacturer modifies it to fit the engine compartment. They should be able to supply the dipstick through their P/N (not the Allison P/N). So, who's the chassis manufacturer? You could ask them for a replacement.
Hope this helps !!!
