well i switched to the suncoast but dont take it to mean that bd trannys wont hold.the problem i had was in the install and getting it setup 100 percent bugg free.i beat the crap out of the bd tranny and it never slipped.the deal with either the bd or the suncoast tranny is haveing someone install it that knows what they are doing.i had a mechanic buddy install mine and we called bd and they told us what to do and how it should feel .problem was we all wernt understanding each other and under or over adjustments were made in error.its a pain to keep taking the tranny pan off trying to reset the pressure ect.....i do like the sun coast very much truck acts like it is 100 percent stock,but for those that are close to a bd install center the bd tranny may be worth taking a look at......jess
Truck is back home with it's new tranny mods. I have been told to put 300 miles on it using my different power settings. Shifts seem to be getting crisper. <font color="red">NO MORE SLIP</font>
. King I have a question did your tranny temp increase with the transmission change? Could the fluid increase the temp?
Time for the extreme program
Have an offer for a kit from TTS, which supposedly is the same kit that Suncoast is using, TransGo parts. That may be the way I go. I have installed a ATS III in Mike Tomacs truck and we got the bugs out of it, works good now, nice and firm when you want it, cant tell its there when yo dont..
If I install the TTS kit, I will document everything for an article/post here on DP for all to see

Diesel Power - " What is the deal with the ATS controller? sounds like a cool gizmo but how do the others get by without? "
Maybe they don't ???
The "bugs" Eric is refering to with the ATS was a tiny spring we left out of a trim cylinoid (sp?) that caused a harsh shift into reverse. Pulled the pan and put the spring back in and the shift into reverse is smooth as silk. Otherwise there was just a few quirky shifts after clearing the Allison's brain and putting it into fast learn mode so it could learn the shift pressures again.
I dont know what that ATS controller"controls" But it sounds to me like the LED shift mechanism on Allison World Class Trannys, where you can push a button and shift/downshift/or hold the same gear..kinda like a tiptronic....but not, on Internationals...(I call em 13 letter shizit spreaders) on the shift stalk theres buttons for each gear..you hit the button as you want em' or not....Bill

New old guy, started a thread trying to get some help with this 0741. After reading as many forums as possible with the multiple checks performed went with TCM R&R was told that A40 replaced by T14A. I received T14 supposably coded with Allison doc to my vin. Same symptoms no matter which TCM is...
So..maybe I wish I had done more research before diving into a project. Not sure yet.
Anyway I had one line that was leaking pretty bad so I figured if I was going through the pain of changing one that I should change them all while in there.
None of the connection points (with the clips)...

While towing my 38 Weekend Warrior, the trans did an "awkward" shift then check engine light came on and it went into limp mode. I could see trans temp starting to climb immediately after. I got to first off ramp about 10 miles and pulled over. Truck...
Ok so I've got a 2005 chevy 3500 duramax with automatic 5 speed allison trans. Its had a tune a long time ago. So recently I hit a bump in the road and the trans disengaged or slips into nuetral and the motor revs. Until I let off the accelerator and it re-engaged immediately and would only...
Ok guys I'm stumped. First of truck is a stock 06 LBZ with 149,000 miles. Driving today I hit big bump going on to a bridge and felt like the rear end came off the ground and when I caught traction again the CEL came on and my truck was running at 2200 rpms at 55 mph. I knew something was up...
