    Stupid 5-Ton Allison Transmission Question

    The more I think about it , if you weren't having problems prior to your air brake issues and adding fluid. What changed. Spent a lot of years rebuilding slush boxes They usually give you lots of hints. Some discreet. Some very bold . Were there any symptoms ?

    Robo impact tool

    They gave me good service, If you had hard plastic chips also get the new KEVLAR shield assy and BRUSHES , they are an easy rebuild , just observe during disassembly , I have no problem taking off nuts, It keeps up with my YELLOW electric impact easily. I thought parts were cheap , service was...

    M1078 4x4 non existent

    The small bearings and metal particals are an old school BIT code device "BS in Transmission" It wont light any code enunciators but it means the same thing, Be on the look out for a rebuilt!

    Stupid 5-Ton Allison Transmission Question

    When you were referring to the emergency brakes valve at the handle, here is the result of a tear down inspection , All the white is exfoliated aluminum residue, ( would be rust if it were steel. ) , no saving the valve, worked it for an hour , cleaning lubing ect, quicker to change it .
