Okay, here is my question. My service guys just changed both filters inside the transmission and used Amalie TES-389 to fill it last month. This is a 2001 Allison 3000. It does not have an external filter. So if I change it next time to transynd, then I will have to change the fluid at short intervals whenever I open it up to change the filters, right?
Krivan,
Put in TranSynd and change the filters according to the recommendations, you'll still be money ahead compared to the short TES-389 change intervals. I wrote the original "Value Analyzer" that Allison uses to run a long term comparison on non-TranSynd vs. TranSynd fluids. Taking the drain interval differences into account, the math always so you're money ahead to change to TranSynd when you factor in the labor charges (which is written into the program). Your Allison dealer/distributor should have this program and can run it for you. I'll see if I can get a copy of the latest program and post it so everyone can run it themselves.
