Tanc Crusher 07-05-2010, 02:44 PM This might help you out. Found it in the DIY section. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5563 I have seen some other post. if i run across will post links. You might goto the allison sections and select the Search this forum option and see what you may find. Brian Rader2146 07-05-2010, 03:28 PM Moved to Allison Aftermarket. Off the top of my head: -Clutch spring compressor -big snap ring pliers -couple of big flat tip screwdrivers -a good pick set Its been over a year since I was last in an alli, so I may have missed something. The rest should be common hand tools. Be sure and check the DIY section for the Allison removal thread. It will help you out a lot if you've never removed an Alli. Edit: Get an ATSG manual!!! Probably the best $25 you could ever spent on your trans build. turfin8705 07-08-2010, 08:41 AM yea the guy who built it works at a dealer as a transmission specialist but he screwed me around...i did find what looked to be a 1/2in section of rubber hose in the stock pan when i pulled it to put the deep one on....ne ideas where that came from? 2006gmc 07-09-2010, 07:30 PM ok guys thank you for imput do not no what a clutch spring compressor is but will try to get one and i have one other question does anyone know where the drainback for the convertor is located mine sets over night then have to let it run in nuetral for a while in morning b4 you can put it in gear so would like to know how the convertor drain back works so i no when i install the kit i am fixing it Diesel Tech 07-09-2010, 08:11 PM The drainback issue is solved by changing two springs in the stator support. This means you pull the transmission and disassemble. At that point if your going to add power it's time to put in some upgrades while you are there.

Rader2146 07-20-2010, 09:37 PM Snap Ring Pliers... http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=87306&group_ID=3578&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=12017&group_ID=3578&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog We didnt use a stand. Some have fab'd an adapter that bolts in place of the PTO cover so that they can use an engine stand. We used a very larger drain pan (2'x4') and some wood blocks. Position the wood blocks so that you can stand the trans up on the tail housing leaving enough room for the output shaft between the blocks. Just be careful not to knock it over. :eek: The blocks are not needed when you need to stand it on the bellhousing. Eat you Wheaties the morning of the build....it's fn heavy! | ||
