Ford 10R vs Allison 10L

There was some discussions on these two transmission a while back about them being the same. Here's a tear down video of these two transmissions. Comment at the end states the 10L will be the next 68 so get ready for the work load.

Enjoy...

  • Ford had some bad torque converters in the gas trucks Completely unnacceptable, but Ford does have a reputation for trans issues on first year trucks for the most part.
  • Paging Dr 12V to weigh in on how ya don’t need more than 6 gears!
  • Weird aboot the 68 thing….since the 10speed “Alli” shifts SOOO much better than a 68….
    It’s literally on par with the 1/2 ton 10speeds and ZF 8 speed in that department.
    (And the few “old” rwd transmissions like the Alli 1000 and the MB NAG1. )

    But if he was referring to reliability, the 68 is pretty decent in that department, good actually.
    If only it wasn’t plagued with the shifting abilities of sloth with a concussion. Slow and confused! Lol.
    What else is there to judge a trans by? How well it shifts and how long it lasts is all I know.
