: Forgot to Replace Allison Magnet NewEnglandDmax 10-20-2003, 01:40 PM Last night I changed oil, lubed and did the Allison spin on. Driving into work this morning I realized I forgot the magnet. http://dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif Will replace as soon as I get home. Someone put my mind at ease and tell me it's OK. Total drive time without magnet - 100 miles. Thanks. John Max Power 10-20-2003, 01:49 PM Don't worry about it. Most transmissions don't have the external filter or magnet. dmaxalliTech 10-20-2003, 02:07 PM heck, half the dealer out there dont do it, it cant be that big a deal Eric JohnnyO 10-20-2003, 03:28 PM Without the magnet, the compass in the mirror is off 20 degrees north http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif BlueOx03 10-20-2003, 03:38 PM It gets the most junk during the first few thousand miles anyway, should be fine. Jonny O, Mine throws my compass off 30 degrees, I musta got a bigger/better magnet that youhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Tongue.gif Ox chuntag95 10-20-2003, 03:40 PM Without the magnet, the compass in the mirror is off 20 degrees north http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Shocked.gif 100 miles, with no magnet! That's it, get a new tranny, it's http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Dead.gif. NOT! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Evil Smile.gif Mackin 10-20-2003, 04:12 PM Theres a magnet in the pan also ... Regardless I wouldn't sweat it ,but would replace it asap ... Mac Geerrhead 10-20-2003, 05:16 PM Ox, You might be farther away from "true" North. LOL http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif Eric, know's what I'm talking about. There really is a calibration factor for vehicles with navigation systems. Frank Blum 10-20-2003, 07:03 PM There really is a calibration factor for vehicles with the electronic compass in the mirror also depending what part of the country you live in. Later! Frank captainmal 10-20-2003, 10:33 PM John, It's "OK". Now go back and sleep soundly. Son of a gun 10-23-2003, 04:10 PM Hoot (in a long ago post) suggested that leaving that magnet off might adversly affect the brightness of the headlights when they are on high beam but it wasn't on one of his better dayshttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif. Truly, as has been said, no big deal but get it back on for added insurance. Bob Mike L. 10-23-2003, 06:54 PM The magnet is there to catch metal particals before the solenoids grab them first. You didnt hurt anything and you dont need to make a mad rush putting it back in, but get it back in for insurance. mike modified 10-23-2003, 09:17 PM I don't know about you, but I think you should go ahead and replace all the clutch plates. You are better to be safe, than sorry. And as long as your at it, install the TransGo, and might as well throw in the Multi-plate Billet Cover. Ya, thats what I should do. Throw away the magnet, and you know the rest of the story. Think my wife would buy that? Help me out guy's. We need to convince her. Edited by: modified BIGMoe 10-23-2003, 10:43 PM I am sure glad I found this Forum before I changed my external Transmission filter. My neighbor had his changed by a 10 minute Lube place and they didn't know about the Magnet. He had to go buy a new one. I just changed my Filter this afternoon I used a Baldwin Filter. Looks just like the filter I took off except for the color. This was the first change and didn't have much metal on it.

Jonny O, Mine throws my compass off 30 degrees, I musta got a bigger/better magnet that youhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Tongue.gif Ox Would it be bigger and better because it's round and has a hole in the center like a washer and GMC's have thicker washers, or is everything about GMC's just better??http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Ermm.gif JohnnyO 10-31-2003, 03:18 PM Jonny O, Mine throws my compass off 30 degrees, I musta got a bigger/better magnet that youhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Tongue.gif Ox You must have the "Juiced" magnet from JK.

They are the ones that pass the quality controls. You chebby guys get all the substandard washers, sometimes they gotta use two .........
