transmisson

I have a 2006 HR Vacationer on a workhorse chassis. I have had it for two weeks now and I am changing all the fluids, filters etc. and was I don't know if I have the 1000 or 2100 Transmission. It is a 5 speed Allison. I would appreciate any help on this.

Thanks in advance.

  • If the trans is a conventional column shift, then you have the 1000, if it is a pushbutton shift, then it is the 2100..
  • To do the Allison correctly you need to change it to Transend (SP) Synthetic. Do a search on this forum, and IRV2.com, for "Allison fluids change". The step by step is to drain, change filter, fill, drive it 25 miles, then change fluid & filter again. Very costly but the only way to get all the old fluid changed.

  • Since it has Transend Synthetic in it already, Would I need to change it twice?
    According to the files I have on it it already had trasend in it, I am changing because it sat so much.
  • If it already has Transend, the two time flush probably is not necessary, The one time change might not be necessary. What ever makes you feel comfortable. I might just change the spin on filter, its pretty much a sealed environment in the transmission..
    Donnt forget to go have fun.
  • Transsyn still has to be changed on the regular schedule after the first time it was switched, then it's good for the extended service mileage on that service. I was told this on my 3000 Allison.
