Let Me Know if You Have Allison Transmission Fluid Questions

bump

I'm on hold untill I hear from you. Still have 2 K till I hit the 50 K mark

Tom, I would be interested but I now have Transyd in now-drained the pan and replaced the filter. I also have enough Transynd to change again. I replace the spin-on every 25,000 miles and top off with Transyd. I don't see myself changing again unless I have a transmission failure. 68,800 miles with about 45,000 towing.

Yes Tom I sure am. AS a fyi untill you posted this what I was thinking of doing was to warm up the trans and drain the pain. change the filter and fill it with transend. Drive another 50K and do it again but changing the filter at about 25K. Waiting your PM or post. If it easier email is hottubkid60193@yahoo.com. I post with everyone. Make a lot of friends that way. And thanks for thinking of me and others.

Was just quoted $33.63 a gal for transend

Hottubkid,

Yikes !!!!! I'm working on a replacement that should cost a lot less and still do 100,000 miles. Are you interested? Note: This is not an ad ... I'm just checking to see if folks are interested in such an animal. I would share the data but it wouldn't necessarily be "blessed" by Allison on transmissions still under warranty. Pass this around to see how many are interested !!!!

Not sure how you know it's definitely DEXRON-III if you have no records.

Wait, what? I DID get records, showing, among other things, an annual trans fliter change...and per the head mechanic for the bus yard, they used Dexron III ATF in all the older buses.

I was hoping the MT643 would have a dedicated place for a trans temp sensor...but if not, yeah, it will just go somewhere in the sump. What is the maximum safe temp for a 643?

250F sump
