DIAGNOSIS

NOTE:
Refer to Allison 4th Generation Controls
Troubleshooting Manual (TS3989EN) for in-depth
troubleshooting procedures.

a. Before Starting. Before attempting to repair the


transmission, the faulty condition and its probable
cause should be identified.
b. CHECK TRANS Light. Continued illumination
of the CHECK TRANS light during vehicle operation
indicates the TCM has signaled a diagnostic code. At
start-up, the CHECK TRANS light will briefly
illuminate to indicate that the light is functioning
properly.
NOTE:
The Strip Pushbutton Shift Selector has no display
or diagnostic capabilities. Use the Allison DOC
For PCService Tool to display diagnostic trouble
codes.

4000 PRODUCT FAMILIES SERVICE MANUALALLISON 4 th GENERATION


c. Entering Diagnostic Mode
1. Pushbutton Shift Selector
When Oil Level Sensor (OLS) is present:
Press the (Up) and (Down) arrow keys
twice simultaneously. Diagnostics will be
displayed immediately. The display will list
the diagnostic codes logged by position
(d1, d2, d3, etc.).
When OLS is not present: Press the (Up)
and (Down) arrow keys simultaneously.
The display will list the diagnostic codes
logged by position (d1, d2, d3, etc.).
2. Lever Shift Selector
When OLS is not presentPress the
DISPLAY MODE button. Diagnostics will
be displayed immediately.
When OLS is presentPress the
DISPLAY MODE button twice to enter
Diagnostic Mode. The display will list the
diagnostic codes logged by position (d1,
d2, d3, etc.).
d. Diagnostic Codes. Diagnostic codes can be
displayed on the display portion of the shift selector or
by using the Allison DOC For PCService Tool. A
diagnostic code is either active or historical. An active
code is any code that is current in the TCM decisionmaking process. Historical codes are codes that are
retained in the TCM memory and will not necessarily
affect the TCM decision-making process. Active
codes are indicated on the shift selector by the MODE
ON indicator.
e. Displaying Diagnostic Codes. Press and release
the MODE button to sequentially display the logged
diagnostic codes.
f. Diagnostic Code Displays. The code list position
(d1, d2, d3, d4, and d5) is the first item displayed,
followed by the diagnostic trouble code (DTC). The
following example shows how DTC P0722 is
displayed on pushbutton and lever shift selectors:
SELECT

MONITOR

1
P

18

The display cycles continuously until the next code list


position is accessed by pressing the MODE button.
When all codes have been displayed by pressing the
MODE button, the first code will be redisplayed. Any
log position not containing a diagnostic code will
display at the DTC position. No codes are
logged after a display.
g. Exiting Diagnostic Mode
1. Press the same buttons used to enter the
diagnostic mode.
2. Select any range. The transmission will enter
the selected range if the range is not inhibited.
3. Turn off the ignition switch.
4. The TCM diagnostic mode is exited
automatically after approximately two minutes
have elapsed without an operator input.

19.

PRESERVATION AND STORAGE

a. Storage (New Transmissions, Before Installation).


New transmissions are filled with transmission fluid
and drained before shipment. The residual fluid in the
transmission provides adequate protection to safely
store the transmission without further treatment for
one full year if stored indoors, in conditions of normal
climate, and with all shipping plugs installed.
b. Preservation Methods. When the transmission is
stored or inactive for an extended period (one or more
years), specific preservation methods are required to
prevent damage from rust, corrosion, and organic
growth in the transmission fluid. Preservation methods
described are for storage with or without transmission
fluid and in or out of a vehicle.
c. One Year Storage (Without Fluid)
1. Drain the transmission fluid.
2. Remove the breather and spray 30 ml (one
ounce) of VCI #10 (or equivalent) into the
transmission through the breather hole.
Re-install the breather. Also, spray 30 ml (one
ounce) through the fill tube hole.
3. Seal all openings and the breather with
moisture-proof tape.

GENERAL INFORMATION
4. Coat all exposed, unpainted surfaces with
preservative grease such as petrolatum
(MIL-C-11796, Class 2).

8. Coat all exposed, unpainted surfaces with


preservative grease such as petrolatum
(MIL-C-11796), Class 2.

5. If additional storage time is required, repeat


Steps (2) through (4) at yearly intervals.

9. If additional storage time is required, repeat


Steps (2) through (8) at yearly intervals,
except, it is not necessary to drain the
transmission each year. Just add VCI #10 and
Biobor JF (or equivalents).

d. One Year Storage (With Fluid)


1. Drain the fluid and replace the oil filter
elements.
2. Fill the transmission to operating level with a
mixture of one part VCI #10 (or equivalent) to
30 parts transmission fluid. Add 3 ml of
Biobor JF (or equivalent) for each 10 liters
(1 4 teaspoon per gallon) of fluid in the system.
NOTE:
When calculating the amount of Biobor JF
required, use the total volume of the system, not just
the quantity required to fill the transmission.
Include external lines, filters, and the cooler.
3. Operate the transmission in N (Neutral) for
approximately five minutes at 1500 rpm.
4. Make sure the transmission shifts through all
ranges and the lockup clutch activates.
5. Continue operating the transmission in neutral
at 1500 rpm until normal operating
temperature is reached.

CAUTION:
If the unit does not have a converter-out temperature gauge, do not stall the converter.

6. If normal operating temperature is less than


107C (225F), shift the transmission to

TO SERVICE
CAUTION:
Whenever a transmission is overhauled or
exchanged, the Transmission Control Module
(TCM) must be RESET TO UNADAPTED
SHIFTS. This causes the TCM to erase previous
adaptive information and begin to adapt in Fast
Adaptive Mode from the base calibration. Use
the Allison DOC For PCService Tool and
select RESET UNADAPTED SHIFTS. Follow
the instructions in the Allison DOC For PC
Service Tool User Guide GN3433EN to
accomplish the reset.

from the transmission with mineral spirits.
b. Sealed Breather and Openings. Remove all tape
from openings and the breather.
c. New Transmissions. If the transmission is new,
drain the residual preservative oil. Refill the
transmission to the proper level with an Allisonapproved transmission fluid. Refer to Paragraph 210.
d. Stored Without Fluid. If the transmission was
prepared for storage without fluid, drain the residual
fluid and replace the oil filter elements. Refill the
transmission to the proper level with an Allisonapproved transmission fluid. Refer to Paragraph 210.
e. Stored With Fluid. If the transmission was
prepared for storage with fluid, it is not necessary to
drain and refill the transmission with new transmission
fluid. Check for proper fluid level. Add or drain
transmission fluid, as required, to obtain the proper
level.

SCOPE

Proper care and regular maintenance is necessary for


the transmission to meet its duty requirements.
Perform the maintenance procedures described in this
section on a regular basis to prevent premature
transmission or support equipment failure. Allison
transmissions are manufactured to provide long-term,
efficient service in their designed applications.

22.

PERIODIC INSPECTION
AND CARE

a. Exterior Cleaning and Inspection

level is too high, the fluid aerates causing the


transmission to shift erratically and overheat.
b. Oil Level Sensor. The optional oil level sensor
(OLS) allows the operator to determine the fluid level
from either a full-function pushbutton or a lever shift
selector. There is no fluid level reading capability for
an Allison 4th Generation Controls strip-type
pushbutton selector; use the Allison DOC For PC
Service Tool to obtain fluid level data from the OLS.

NOTE:
The oil level sensor compensates for transmission

fluid temperatures from 60104C (140220F).


Any temperature below 60C (140F) or above
104C (220F) will result in an Invalid for
Display condition.

CAUTION:
DO NOT pressure-wash the transmission
electrical connectors. Water and detergent cause
the electrical contacts to corrode and become
faulty.
1. Clean and inspect the exterior of the
transmission at regular intervals. Severity of
service and operating conditions determine the
frequency of inspections.
2. Inspect the transmission for:
Loose boltstransmission and mounting

components.
Fluid leaksrepair immediately.
Loose, dirty, or improperly adjusted throttle

To accurately determine the transmission

fluid level with the dipstick, the transmission


fluid must be at normal operating temperature (7193C; 160200F).
c. Electronic Controls and Protection Circuits.
4000 Product Family transmission electronic controls
and protection circuits alert the operator to a
transmission malfunction or the need for service. The
electronic controls and protection circuits do not
replace regular, manual, fluid level checks. Confirm
the fluid level at the intervals specified in vehicle
service instructions.

CAUTION:
DO NOT start the engine until the presence of
sufficient transmission fluid has been confirmed.
Remove the transmission fluid dipstick and be
sure the static fluid level is near the HOT FULL
mark.
a. Purpose. The purpose of the Cold Check is to
determine if the transmission has enough fluid to be
operated safely until a Hot Check can be made.
b. Cold Check Procedure

WARNING!
If you leave the vehicle and the engine is running,
the vehicle can move suddenly and you or others
could be injured. If you must leave the engine
running, do not leave the vehicle until you have
completed all of the following procedures:

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, chock the


wheels, and apply the parking brake.

Be sure the engine is at low idle (500800 rpm).

2. Run the engine at idle (500800 rpm) for at


least one minute with the transmission in
N (Neutral). Shift to D (Drive), then shift to

FLUID RECOMMENDATIONS

Table 21. Transmission Fluid Preheating


Requirements

a. Fluid Type
1. The hydraulic fluids (oils) used in Allison
transmissions directly affect transmission
performance, reliability, and durability.
Recommended fluids for 4000 Product Family
applications are TranSyndTM, or other TES-295
fluid, and DEXRON-III. Type C-4 fluids are
also approved.
2. Some DEXRON-III fluids are also qualified
as Type C-4 fluids. To be sure the fluid is
qualified for use in Allison transmissions, look
for a DEXRON-III or Type C-4 fluid license,
or approval numbers on the fluid container, or
consult the lubricant manufacturer. Fluid types
such as Type F, and universal farm fluids may
or may not be properly qualified to use in your
Allison transmission. Consult your Allison
Transmission dealer or distributor before using
any fluid types except those fluids qualified for
use in Allison transmissions.

CAUTION:
Disregarding minimum fluid temperature limits
can result in transmission malfunction or
reduced transmission life.
3. When choosing the optimum viscosity grade of
fluid to use, duty cycle, preheat capabilities,
and/or geographical location must be taken
into consideration. Table 21 lists the
minimum fluid temperatures at which the
transmission may be safely operated. Preheat
with auxiliary heating equipment or by running
the equipment or vehicle with the transmission
in N (Neutral) for a minimum of 20 minutes
before attempting range operation.

CAUTION:
Transmission fluid and filter change frequency is
determined by the severity of transmission
service. More frequent changes may be necessary
than recommended in the general guidelines
when operating conditions create high levels of
contamination or overheating.
a. Fluid and Filter Changes. Change the main
filter after the first 8000 km (5000 miles) then follow
the recommended fluid and filter change intervals.
Table 22 is given only as a general guide for fluid and
filter change interval.
Local conditions, severity of operation or duty cycle
may require more or less frequent fluid change
intervals that differ from the published
recommended fluid change intervals of Allison
Transmission. Transmission protection and fluid
change intervals can be optimized by the use of
fluid analysis. Filters must be changed at or before
recommended intervals.

CAUTION:

immediate action to prevent malfunction and possible


serious damage. The transmission must be completely
disassembled, inspected, and cleaned. Remove all
traces of the coolant and varnish deposits resulting
from engine coolant contamination. Replace friction
clutch plates contaminated with engine coolant.
c. Metal

CAUTION:
If excessive metal contamination has occurred,
replace the oil cooler and visually inspect all
bearings in the transmission.
Metal particles in the fluid (except for the minute
particles normally trapped in the oil filter) may
indicate internal transmission damage. When these
particles are found in the sump, the transmission must
be disassembled and closely inspected to find the
source. Metal contamination requires complete
transmission disassembly. Clean all internal and
external hydraulic circuits, cooler, and all other areas
where the particles could lodge.

Contaminated fluid can leave the oil cooler


contaminated. The cleanliness of the oil cooler
affects the cleanliness of the transmission fluid. If
there is any doubt about the cleanliness of the
cooler, replace the cooler.

212. FLUID AND FILTER


CHANGE PROCEDURE

a. Water

NOTE:
If only filters are being replaced, do not drain the
fluid.

1. At each fluid change, examine the drained


fluid for evidence of dirt or water. A normal
amount of condensation will appear in the fluid
during operation.
2. Obvious water contamination of the
transmission fluid requires inspecting and
pressure testing the cooler (heat exchanger) for
leaks between the water and fluid areas.
Transmission fluid in the water side of the

transmission stall test.
1. The manufacturer concurs with performing a
full-throttle transmission stall test.

b. Maintenance
1. The amount of dust and dirt encountered will
determine the frequency of breather cleaning.
Use care when cleaning the transmission
exterior. Spraying steam, water, or cleaning
solution directly at the breather can force the
water or cleaning solution into the
transmission.

2. The engine programmable parameter for 0 rpm


transmission output speed is set higher than the
value expected at transmission stall speed.

2. Always use a properly sized wrench to remove


or replace the breather. Pliers or a pipe wrench
can crush or damage the breathers stem and
produce metal chips which could enter the
transmission.

5. Make sure the engine air induction system and


exhaust system have no restrictions.

214. TRANSMISSION STALL TEST


AND NEUTRAL COOL-DOWN
CHECK
a. Purpose. Stall testing is performed to determine
if a vehicle performance complaint is due to an engine
or transmission malfunction. Stall testing is a troubleshooting procedure onlynever perform a stall test as
a general examination or during routine maintenance.
Transmission stall speed is the maximum engine rpm
attainable when the engine is at full throttle and the
torque converter turbine is not moving, or stalled.
After a transmission stall test, compare the actual full
throttle engine speed at torque converter turbine stall
with specifications established by the vehicle manufacturer.
NOTE:
Engine speed data can be obtained from the vehicle
manufacturer, or from the equipment dealer or distributor. Some engine manufacturers provide a
programmable parameter to limit engine speed
when the transmission output speed is 0 rpm, such
as at a stop. This parameter should be set to a higher
value than the expected transmission stall speed before performing a stall test.

b. Stall Testing Preparation. If a transmission stall


test is to be performed, make sure the following

3. The vehicle is in an area in which a transmission stall test can be safely performed.
4. Make sure the fuel control linkage goes to full
throttle and does not stick when released.

6. Install a temperature gauge with the probe in


the transmission converter out (to cooler) line.
Allison DOC displays sump temperature
only.
7. Perform a Cold Check of the transmission fluid
level and adjust as necessary.
8. Connect Allison DOC to the vehicle
diagnostic data connector or install an accurate
tachometer (do not rely on the vehicle
tachometer).
9. Install wheel chocks.
10. A driver is in the drivers position.
11. The vehicles service/park brakes are fully applied.

WARNING!
To help avoid personal injury, such as burns,
from hot transmission fluid and/or to help avoid
equipment damage, do not stall the torque converter for more than ten seconds maximum and
monitor transmission fluid temperature. Immediately return the engine to idle if converter out
(to cooler) temperature exceeds 150C (300F).
Operating the transmission at high engine power
at transmission stall or near stall conditions
causes a rapid rise in the transmission fluid temperature. The fluid in the transmission torque
converter is absorbing all of the engine power
and the vehicle cooling system cannot dissipate
the excessive heat load. Extended operation under high heat load conditions causes transmission and cooling system damage, and can
possibly fail hydraulic lines causing leaking high
temperature fluid.

8. Record converter out (to cooler) temperature.

WARNING!
To help avoid personal injury and equipment
damage while conducting a transmission stall
test, the vehicle must be positively prevented
from moving. Apply the parking brake, the service brake, and chock the wheels securely. Warn
personnel to keep clear of the vehicle and its
travel path.

9. Reduce engine speed to idle and shift the transmission to N (Neutral).


10. Raise engine speed to 12001500 rpm for
two minutes to cool the transmission fluid.
11. At the end of two minutes, record converter out
(to cooler) temperature.
d. Driving Transmission Stall Test

c. Performing a Transmission Stall Test


1. Start the engine. While in neutral let the transmission warm to normal operating temperature:
Sump temperature: 7193C (160200F)
Converter out temperature: 82104C
(180220F)
2. Perform a Hot Check of the transmission fluid
level and adjust as necessary.
3. Turn OFF all engine accessories.
4. Use Allison DOC For PCService Tool to
select fourth range. Using fourth range reduces
the torque imposed on the transmission and
driveline. Do not perform a transmission stall
test in Reverse.

CAUTION:
To help avoid transmission or driveline damage,
full throttle transmission stall tests must never be
performed in reverse range (all models) or low
ranges (7-speed models).
5. Notify personnel in the area to keep clear of
the vehicle.
6. Slowly increase engine rpm until engine speed
stabilizes.
7. Record engine speed.

CAUTION:
The transmission stall test procedure causes a
rapid rise in transmission fluid temperature that
can damage the transmission. Never maintain a
stall condition once engine speed stabilizes or
converter out (to cooler) temperature exceeds
150C (300F). During a stall condition, converter out temperature rises much faster than internal (sump) temperature. Never use sump fluid
temperature to determine the length of the stall
condition. If the stall test is repeated, do not let
the engine overheat.
210

NOTE:
If the vehicle is equipped with a smoke controlled or
an emission controlled engine or engine control
programming inhibits engine acceleration, the
following transmission stall test procedure can be
used.

CAUTION:
To help avoid personal injury and/or equipment
damage, a driving transmission stall test must be
performed by a trained driver and a qualified
technician.
e. Driving Transmission Stall Testing Preparation. If a transmission stall test is to be performed, make sure the following preparations
have been made before conducting the transmission stall test.
1. The manufacturer concurs with performing a
full-throttle stall test.
2. Engine programmable parameter for 0 rpm
output speeds are set higher than value expected for stall speed.
3. The vehicle is in an area in which a transmission stall test can be safely performed.
4. Make sure the fuel control linkage goes to full

11. Raise engine speed to 12001500 rpm for two


minutes to cool the transmission fluid. At the
end of two minutes, record converter out (to
cooler) temperature
g. Neutral Cool-Down Check Procedure
1. At the end of two minutes, converter out (to
cooler) fluid temperature should return to
within normal operating temperature range.
2. If the transmission fluid does not cool within
two minutes, the cause could be a stuck torque
converter stator or an issue with the transmission cooler, lines, or fittings.
h. Transmission Stall Test Results

3. Turn OFF all engine accessories.


4. While located in isolated area, begin the driving transmission stall test.

NOTE:

6. Operate the engine at 100 percent full throttle,


maximum governed speed.

Environmental conditions, such as ambient


temperature, altitude, engine accessory loss
variations, etc., affect engine performance/power.
Due to such conditions, stall speed can vary from
specification by +/-150 rpm and still be accepted as
within published stall speed.

7. With the engine at maximum governed speed,


begin gradually applying the vehicle service
brakes while maintaining 100 percent full
throttle.

If engine speed with the transmission stalled is more


than 150 rpm below the stall speed specified, an engine issue is indicated.

5. Select a hold range that will limit road speed


(usually 2nd or 3rd range). Never perform a
driving stall test in Reverse or Low range
(7-speed models).

8. When the vehicle comes to a complete stop,


record engine speed.

CAUTION:

If engine speed with the transmission stalled is more


than 150 rpm above specification, a transmission issue
is indicated.

The transmission stall test procedure causes a


rapid rise in transmission fluid temperature that
can damage the transmission. Never maintain a
stall condition once engine speed stabilizes or
converter out (to cooler) temperature exceeds
150C (300F). During a stall condition, converter out temperature rises much faster than internal (sump) temperature. Never use sump fluid
temperature to determine the length of the stall
condition. If the stall test is repeated, do not let
the engine overheat.

Conditions that can exist to cause stall speed to be


150 rpm above specification could be:

9. Record converter out (to cooler) temperature.

A low stall speed that is at least 33 percent lower than


the published stall speed could indicate an engine issue or a freewheeling stator in the torque converter.

10. Reduce engine speed to idle and shift the transmission to N (Neutral).

a. Purpose. Reading individual clutch pressures


helps to determine if a transmission malfunction is due
to a mechanical or an electrical problem. Properly
making these pressure readings requires transmission
and vehicle (or test stand) preparation, recording of
data, and comparing recorded data against
specifications provided.

C5

NOTE:
Determine if there are diagnostic codes set that are
related to the transmission difficulty you are
evaluating. Proceed to make mechanical
preparations for reading clutch pressures only after
codes have first been evaluated.
b. Transmission and Vehicle Preparation

CAUTION:
Be sure that the hydraulic fittings have the same
thread as the plugs removed (716-20 UNF-2A).
These fittings must be straight thread, O-ring
style. Failure to use properly threaded fittings
will damage the control module.
1. Remove the plug from the pressure tap and
install a hydraulic fitting and a pressure gauge
or transducer at each location where
measurement is desired (refer to Figure 23 or
Figure 24). Pressure gauge set J 26417-A is
available for this purpose. Refer to Table 25
for pressure levels expected.
2. Provide for engine speed to be monitored. (The
Allison DOC For PCService Tool may be
used.)

216. FLUID LEAK DIAGNOSIS
Most fluid leaks can be located and repaired by
visually finding the leak and replacing or repairing the
necessary parts. On some occasions, a fluid leak may
be difficult to locate or repair. The following
procedure may help in locating and repairing most
leaks.

1. Pour the specified amount of dye into the


transmission fill tube.
2. Operate the vehicle under normal operating
conditions as directed in the kit.
3. Direct the black light toward the suspected
area. The dyed fluid will appear as a brightly
colored path leading to the source.

a. Finding The Leak


1. Identify the fluid. Determine whether it is
engine oil, automatic transmission fluid, or
hydraulic fluid from a specific vehicle system.
2. Operate the vehicle to reach normal operating
temperature and park the vehicle. After a few
minutes, look for dripping fluid to identify the
approximate location of the leak.
3. Visually inspect around the suspected area.
Inspect all gasket mating surfaces for leaks. A
mirror is useful for finding leaks in areas that
are hard to reach.
4. If the leak still cannot be found, clean the
suspected area with a degreaser, steam, or
spray solvent. Completely clean and dry the
area. Operate the vehicle for several miles at
normal operating temperature and varying
speeds. After operating, visually inspect the
suspected leak area. If the leak is not located,
use the powder or black light and dye methods.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

a. Ordering Information. Refer to the current issue


of 4000 Product Family Parts Catalog PC2456EN for
parts information. Do not order replacement parts
using the reference numbers in this service manual.
b. Parts Normally Replaced at Overhaul. The
following parts are normally replaced at each
transmission overhaul:
Gaskets
Lockstrips
Washers or retaining rings damaged by

removal or abnormal wear


Oil seals and piston sealrings
Spiral retaining ring 4 (Foldout 8)
Suction filter 5 (Foldout 11)

CAUTION:
Seal all openings and the breather before steam
cleaning the transmission. The material on
friction-faced clutch plates, the bonding agent,
and clutch housing machined surfaces can be
damaged by water, steam cleaning, or
unapproved solvents and detergents. Use only
mineral spirits to clean friction-faced clutch
plates and clutch housings.
1. Clean all metallic transmission parts, except
bearings and friction-faced clutch plates, by
steam cleaning or with mineral spirits. Do not
use caustic soda solution for steam cleaning. If
steam cleaning, do not allow steam or water to
enter the transmission. Clean friction-faced
clutch plates and bearings with mineral spirits
only.
2. Dry all parts, except bearing assemblies, with
compressed air. To prevent rust, lubricate
steam-cleaned parts as soon as they are dry.

WARNING!
Do not burn discarded Teflon seals; toxic gases
are produced by burning Teflon.

34.

b. Cleaning Transmission, Parts

3. Clean fluid passages by working a piece of soft


wire through the passages and flushing them
with mineral spirits. Dry the passages with
compressed air.

CAREFUL HANDLING

Handle parts and subassemblies carefully to prevent


nicking, scratching, and denting. Parts that fit together
closely and have a specific operating clearance can
bind if damaged. Parts that depend upon smooth
surfaces for sealing may leak if scratched. Control
valve body assembly parts are especially susceptible
to leaking if scratched (valves, when dry, must move
freely by their own weight). Handle these parts
carefully and protect them during removal, cleaning,
inspection, and installation. Keep control valve body
assembly parts in clean containers until installation.

4. Examine parts, especially fluid passages, after


cleaning to make certain they are entirely
clean. Re-clean parts if necessary.
5. Removal of minor defects with such items as
crocus cloth, honing stones, and scrapers
produces debris and residue. Cover adjacent
parts, ports, and cavities before removing
defects. Thoroughly reclean the affected areas
after rework.
c. Cleaning Bearings

WARNING!

35.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

a. Dirt Causes Malfunction. All parts must be


clean to permit effective inspection. Do not allow dirt
or foreign material to enter the transmission during
assembly. Even minute particles can cause close-fit
parts, such as valves, to malfunction.
36

Never dry bearings by spinning them with


compressed air. A spinning bearing can
disintegrate, allowing balls or rollers to become
lethal flying projectiles. Also, spinning a bearing
without lubrication can damage the bearing.
1. Bearings that have been in service should be
thoroughly cleaned in mineral spirits.

Copyright 2005 General Motors Corp.

GENERAL OVERHAUL INFORMATION


2. Soak particularly dirty bearings or ones filled
with hardened grease in mineral spirits before
trying to clean them.

If a bearing is not installed immediately, wrap

3. Before inspection, lubricate bearings with


transmission fluid.

f. Inspecting Cast Parts and Machined Surfaces

d. Inspecting Bearings

CAUTION:
If excessive metal contamination has occurred,
replacement of all bearings is recommended.
1. Inspect bearings for rough rotation. Replace a
bearing if its rotation is still rough after
cleaning and lubrication.
2. Inspect bearings for scored, pitted, scratched,
cracked, or chipped races, and for excessive
roller or ball wear. Replace the bearing if any
of these defects are found.
3. Inspect a defective bearings bore and mating
shaft for grooved, burred, or galled conditions
that indicate the bearing has been turning in the
bore or on the shaft. If shaft or bore damage
cannot be repaired with crocus cloth, replace
the defective part.
4. When removing a bearing, do not apply
pressure across the balls. This can cause
brinelling and bearing failure.

or cover the lubricated bearing with clean


paper or lint-free cloth to keep out dust.

1. Inspect bores for wear, scratches, grooves, and


dirt. Remove scratches and burrs with crocus
cloth. Clean the part. Replace parts that are
deeply scratched or grooved.
2. Inspect all fluid passages for obstructions. If an
obstruction is found, remove it with
compressed air, or by working a soft wire back
and forth through the passage and flushing it
with mineral spirits.
3. Inspect mounting faces for nicks, burrs,
scratches, and foreign matter. Remove any
defects with crocus cloth or a soft stone. Clean
the part. If scratches are deep, replace the
defective part.
4. Inspect threaded openings for damaged
threads. Chase damaged threads with a
correctly sized tap. Clean the part.
5. Inspect the ribs inside the main housing for
reaction plate wear grooves in the side of the
ribs. Replace housings that have wear grooves
beyond wear limits. (Refer to Wear Limits,
Table 71 in Section 7.)
6. Replace housings or other cast parts that are
cracked.

5. If a bearing must be removed or installed


without the proper tool, press only on the
race which is adjacent to the mounting
surface.

7. Inspect all machined surfaces for damage that


could cause fluid leakage or other malfunction.
Rework or replace defective parts.

e. Keeping Bearings Clean. Ball or roller bearing


failures are usually caused by dirt or grit in the
bearing. Keep bearings clean during removal and
installation. Observe the following rules to be sure
maximum bearing life:

8. Inspect the oil tracks of the control module and


main housing for porosity, broken lands,
cracks, dirt, and land surface imperfections.
These imperfections will cause severe fluid
leakage leading to transmission failure.

Do not unwrap new bearings until they are to

be installed.
Do not remove the grease in which new

bearings are packed until they are to be


installed.
Do not lay bearings on a dirty bench. Place

bearings on clean paper, or lint-free cloth.

g. Inspecting Bushings and Thrust Washers


1. Inspect bushings for scores, burrs, sharp edges,
and evidence of overheating. Remove scores
with crocus cloth. Remove burrs and sharp
edges with a scraper or knife blade. Before
reinstalling, carefully check bushings for signs
of distress. Clean the part.

4000 PRODUCT FAMILIES SERVICE MANUALALLISON 4 th GENERATION


i. Inspecting Gears

CAUTION:
When removing a defective bushing, do not
damage the bushing bore.
2. Replace bushings that are out-of-round, deeply
scored, or excessively worn. Inspect parts
mated to bushings to be sure they are not
damaged or worn beyond use.
3. Inspect thrust washers for distortion, scores,
burrs, and wear. Replace a thrust washer if
defective or worn.
h. Inspecting Sealrings and Gaskets
1. Inspect piston sealrings and lip-type seals for
nicks, cuts, tears, splits, and pattern damage. A
damaged seal can indicate rough or sharp
edges in piston grooves or on a mating surface
that could damage a new seal.
2. Inspect piston sealring grooves for nicks, burrs,
dents, or displaced metal that could damage
the new seal. Remove raised metal, sharp
edges, burrs, or nicks with a soft stone and
crocus cloth. Thoroughly clean all residue
from the piston before assembly.
3. Replace all composition gaskets.
4. Inspect hook-type sealrings for wear, broken
hooks, and distortion. Install a new hook-type
sealring if the old ring shows any wear on its
outside diameter, or if there is excessive side
wear. Install a new sealring if there is wear on
the sealring outside diameter mating surface.
5. Inspect clutch housing sealing surfaces for
nicks, burrs, dents, or displaced metal that
could interfere with mating parts or damage
the piston seal. Remove raised metal, sharp
edges, burrs, or nicks with a soft stone and
crocus cloth. Thoroughly clean all residue
from the housing before assembly.
6. Measure butt-joint sealring end gap by
inserting the sealring into its respective sealing
bore. Use a feeler gauge to measure end gap.
Discard sealrings that do not meet
specifications. Refer to Table 71, Wear Limits
Data, in Section 7.

38

1. Inspect gears for scuffed, nicked, burred, or


broken teeth. If a defect cannot be removed
with a soft stone, replace the gear.
2. Inspect gear teeth for wear that has changed
the original tooth shape. If this condition is
found, replace the gear.
3. Inspect the thrust face of gears for scores,
scratches, and burrs. Remove such defects with
a soft stone. If scratches and scores cannot be
removed with a soft stone, replace the gear.
Thoroughly remove all residue from surface.
4. Inspect gears for load pattern and signs of
distress. Any sign of distress indicates that a
gear failure during operation is possible.
Reusing distressed gears is an individual
customer decision based upon experience.
Backlash cannot be used to establish critical
gear wear. Backlash tolerances are of such
nature that a gear usually pits, scuffs, scores, or
galls long before gear wear becomes critical.
j. Inspecting Splined Parts
1. Inspect splined parts for stripped, twisted,
chipped, or burred splines. Remove burrs with
a soft stone. Replace the part if other defects
are found. Spline wear is not considered
harmful except where it affects the fit of the
splined parts. Thoroughly remove all residue
from surface.
2. Spline wear is determined by measuring and
comparing the unworn and worn areas of the
spline. This can also be checked by comparing
feeler gauge thickness to the depth of the worn
area. Replace parts having excessive spline
wear. Refer to Table 71, Wear Limits Data, in
Section 7.
3. Backlash cannot be used to establish critical
spline wear. Accurate backlash measurement
requires the mating parts to be concentrically
located.
k. Inspecting Threaded Parts. Inspect threaded
parts for burred or damaged threads. Remove burrs
with a soft stone or fine file. Replace damaged parts.
Thoroughly remove all residue from surface.

Copyright 2005 General Motors Corp.

GENERAL OVERHAUL INFORMATION


l. Inspecting Retaining Rings. Inspect all retaining
rings for nicks, distortion, or excessive wear. Replace
the retaining ring if any of these defects are found. The
retaining ring must snap tightly into its groove to
function properly.
m. Inspecting Springs. Inspect springs for signs of
cracking, overheating, permanent set, or wear due to
rubbing adjacent parts. Replace the spring if any of
these defects are found. Refer to Table 72, Spring
Data, in Section 7.
n. Inspecting Clutch Plates (Figure 34)
1. Inspect friction-faced clutch plates for burrs,
embedded metal particles, severely pitted
faces, loose faces, excessive wear, cone,
cracks, distortion, shallow oil groove depth, or
damaged spline teeth. Remove burrs using a
soft stone. Replace plates which have any
defects. Remove all residue from part.
2. Inspect steel plates for burrs, scoring,
excessive wear, excessive cone, distortion,
embedded metal, galling, cracks, breaks, or
damaged tangs. Remove burrs and minor
surface irregularities using a soft stone.
Replace plates which have any non-repairable
defects. Remove all residue from part.
3. The amount of clutch plate cone is determined
by measuring the distance between the inside
diameter of the plate and a level surface
(Figure 34). Discard plates having excessive
cone. Refer to Table 71, Wear Limits Data, in
Section 7.
4. Determine oil groove depth with a depth
micrometer or by measuring the smooth
surface (total) thickness of the plate, measuring
the thickness of the steel part of the plate at the
oil groove, and subtracting this measurement
from the total thickness. Replace plates not
having the minimum oil groove depth. Refer to
Table 71, Wear Limits Data, in Section 7.

LEVEL SURFACE

o. Inspecting Swaged And Interference-Fit Parts.


If there is evidence of looseness, replace the assembly.
p. Inspecting Sealing Surfaces
1. Inspect surfaces in contact with hook-type and
butt-joint sealrings for step wear, nicks,
scratches, and scoring. Use a soft stone or
crocus cloth to remove only the raised metal
portion of these defects. Polishing the area to
remove a defect is neither necessary nor
desirable. If the defects are too severe to
correct, replace the defective part. Remove all
residue from part.
2. Inspect surfaces in contact with spring-loaded,
lip-type oil seals for nicks, scratches,
roughness, or other surface irregularities.
Inspect for embedded particles, step wear, and
dirt on flanges or other components exposed to
external contamination. Remove the defects
and restore the finish. Replace the part if scores
or scratches permit fluid leakage. Remove all
residue from part.

36.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES

a. Parts Lubrication. During final assembly,


lubricate all moving parts with transmission fluid. The
fluid will help protect friction surfaces and ferrous
metals until the unit is in service.
b. Grease Used for Assembly. During assembly use
oil-soluble grease with a low melting point
(petrolatum) to temporarily retain parts, butt-joint
sealrings, scarf-cut sealrings, and hook-type sealrings.
c. Sealing Compounds and Nonsoluble Greases.
Do not use gasket-type sealing compounds, fibrous
greases, or nonsoluble vegetable-base cooking
compounds inside the transmission or where they
could be flushed into the transmission hydraulic
system.
d. Clutches and Pistons
1. Soak each friction-faced clutch plate (twominute minimum) in transmission fluid before
final assembly.

CLUTCH PLATE

2. Apply a generous amount of transmission fluid


to the piston cavity before final assembly.

e. Threaded Plugs and Hydraulic Fittings

h. Butt-Joint Sealrings

CAUTION:

CAUTION:
Teflon

Do not use
tape on threaded parts
where slivers can enter the transmission and
cause a malfunction.
Improperly installed plugs or fittings can
cause leakage and cracked housings.
Threaded plugs in 4000 Product Family transmissions
are the straight-thread, O-ring type. Be sure that the
O-ring is in like-new condition and tighten all plugs to
the torque value specified in the assembly procedure or
in the exploded views.
f. Coated Threaded Fasteners. Control module
bolts are manufactured with a band of sealant on the
threads. Coated bolts may be reused, however repeated
removal and installation may reduce the effectiveness
of the coating. If fluid leaks are detected around the
bolts, replace the coated bolts. Do not attempt to
re-apply a sealing compound. The coated bolts sizes
are M10 x 1.5 x 55 mm and M10 x 1.5 x 100 mm.
g. Lip-Type Oil Seals
1. When replacing lip-type seals, make sure the
spring-loaded lip is toward the fluid to be
sealed (toward the inside of the unit). Coat the
inside of the seal with high temperature grease
(MIL-G-3545A or equivalent) to protect the
seal during shaft installation and to provide
lubrication during initial operation.
2. The circumference of some seals is precoated
with a dry sealant. The sealant is usually
colored for easy identification. Precoated seals
do not require any additional sealant before
installation.

If humidity is allowed to penetrate and expand a


butt-joint sealring, the sealring can be damaged
during installation. A damaged sealring will
permit transmission fluid to leak from the clutch
piston cavity and cause clutch slippage. Do not
open the sealed package until you are ready to
install the sealring.
1. Butt-joint sealrings require special handling
during assembly. The sealrings contain
materials that absorb moisture from the
atmosphere causing the sealring to expand.
Check sealring end clearance before
installation to make sure the sealring has not
expanded.
2. Remove the sealring from its package and
place the sealring in its operational position
inside the bore that it will be sealing.
3. Use a feeler gauge to check the end clearance
of the sealring. The end clearance must not be
less than the specifications. Refer to the
respective rebuild Steps in Section 5.
4. If the end clearance is less than specifications,
bake the sealring in an oven at 93149C
(200300F) for 24 hours or get a new
sealring. Repeat Steps (2) and (3).
5. Pack the sealring and its groove with a liberal
amount of oil-soluble grease.
6. Roll the sealring to about half its free diameter
and hold it for about 10 seconds. Being careful
not to spread the sealring more than necessary,
slide it onto the hub. Place one end of the
sealring into the groove and gradually work the
seal into the groove.
i. Bearings

3. Before installation, apply a non-hardening


sealant to the circumference of seals not
precoated with a dry sealant.

310

1. When removing a bearing, do not apply


pressure across the balls. This can cause
brinelling and bearing failure.

GENERAL OVERHAUL INFORMATION


2. If a bearing must be removed or installed
without an installation sleeve, drive or press
only on the race which is adjacent to the
mounting surface. If a press is not available,
carefully seat the bearing with a drift and a
hammer, driving against the supported race.
j. Bushings. Whenever a new bushing is being
installed, NEVER allow the pressing tool to bottom
against a needle thrust bearing. ALWAYS make sure
that the pressing tool bottoms against the part that the
bushing is being pressed into.
k. Electrical Components. For inspection and
repair of electrical components, refer to the 3000 and
4000 Product Families Troubleshooting Manual
TS3989EN.

REMOVING TRANSMISSION
FROM VEHICLE (Figure 35)

NOTE
A significant amount of fluid may drain from a
hydraulic hose when it is disconnected from the
transmission.
4. Disconnect all hydraulic hoses from the
transmission. If a retarder is installed,
disconnect the accumulator line from the
retarder housing. Remove the hoses from the
vehicle if they interfere with the transmission
removal. Plug all openings to keep dirt from
entering the hydraulic system.
5. If an integral cooler is used, drain coolant from
the cooler and disconnect coolant hoses.
Remove the hoses from the vehicle if they
interfere with transmission removal. Plug all
openings to keep dirt from entering the cooling
system.
b. Disconnecting Controls

WARNING!
Avoid contact with the hot fluid or the hot sump
when draining transmission fluid. Direct contact
with the hot fluid or the hot sump may result in
bodily injury.
1. Drain the transmission fluid before removing
the transmission from the vehicle. The
transmission fluid should be warm to promote
complete drainage.
2. Remove the drain plug from the control
module. Examine the drained fluid for evidence
of contamination (see Paragraph 211).
Reinstall the drain plug. If the drain plug
threads are damaged, see Paragraph 212 for
corrective action.
3. Remove transmission fill tube if it interferes
with transmission removal.

1. Disconnect or completely remove controls. If


controls are not removed from the
transmission, position them so that they do not
interfere with transmission removal.
2. Loosen bolt in 20-way
feedthrough harness connector.

transmission

3. Disconnect the transmission external harness


from the 20-way transmission feedthrough
harness connector. Also disconnect the external
harness from the engine, output, and turbine
speed sensors (Figure 35). Place a cover on
the transmission electrical connector to keep
out dirt. Also be sure to disconnect the
transmission feedthrough harness from the
harness bracket.
4. If PTO(s) are used, disconnect the PTO(s)
harness.
5. Disconnect the transmission external harness
from the retarder temperature sensor and the
retarder control valve body.
c. Uncoupling Transmission From Vehicle and
Engine Driveline

WARNING!
DO NOT disconnect the hydraulic fluid line
between the accumulator and the retarder until
air and hydraulic pressure have been bled from
the line.

1. Disconnect the vehicle drive shaft from the


transmission output flange or yoke. Position
the disconnected shaft to avoid interference
with removing the transmission.

To help prevent premature thrust bearing


failure, make sure that the locating lip on either
the inner or outer thrust bearing race is not
preventing the race from contacting the thrust
surface of the mating part. Failure to do this
leads to premature thrust bearing failure and
incorrect shim selection to maintain proper
internal part clearance.

4. Install seven bolts 3 into the inside of converter
housing 1. Use mechanical fingers, or a similar
tool, when installing these bolts.
5. Remove the two guide bolts and install the
remaining bolts 3. Tighten all bolts 3 to 5161 Nm
(3845 lb ft).

v. Installation of Torque Converter Module


(Figure 624)
1. The torque converter is installed over the
turbine shaft which rotates inside the stator
shaft or ground sleeve. The splines on the
ground sleeve engage the converter stator. The
splines on the turbine shaft engage the
converter turbine. The end of the turbine shaft
is threaded and machined to accept the
converter retaining bolt and lockup sealring.
2. The splines of the ground sleeve and turbine
shaft must engage with their respective splines
in the torque converter module. The tangs on
the converter-pump hub must engage the
charging pumps drive gear or the PTO oil
pump drive hub.
3. Using a hoist and sling, install torque converter
module 6 into the converter housing module
(Figure 624, View A).
4. Make sure that the torque converter is properly
seated. If PTO equipped, rotate the PTO gear to
engage the pump hub with the charging pump.
Proceed with the selective shim measurement.
5. Install converter end play gauge J 38548
and tighten the attaching bolt to 2734 Nm
(2025 lb ft). Prevent turbine shaft rotation by
using one of the following methods:
Insert a screwdriver into the vanes on the

rotating clutch module (Figure 624,


View B).

If the control module is in place, apply air

TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Dimension C shown in Table 61 includes a
correction due to internal deflection caused by the
2734 Nm (2025 lb ft) bolt torque applied to gauge
J 38548. Correct torque value is critical to selection
of the proper shim.
6. Measure from top of tool J 38548 to face of
turbine shaft and record it as dimension B
(Figure 624, View D). Subtract dimension B
from dimension A to determine dimension C.
(Dimension A is the height of tool J 38548,
100.00 mm; 3.937 inch.)

7. Use dimension C and Table 61 to determine


proper selective shim part number. Remove
tool J 38548 and continue with installation of
the torque converter.
8. Keep the torque converter cover from turning
by using a heel bar, two bolts, and a screwdriver (Figure 624, View C).
9. Install threaded plug 7 and O-ring 8 using a
34 inch Allen socket. Tighten plug to 5060 Nm
(3744 lb ft).
10. Install converter shipping brackets 1
(Foldout 12,B), or equivalent, to prevent
torque converter movement. Tighten the shipping bracket bolts to 5161 Nm (3845 lb ft).

SECTION 8CUSTOMER SERVICE


81.

OWNER ASSISTANCE

The satisfaction and goodwill of the owners of Allison


transmissions are of primary concern to Allison
Transmission, its distributors, and their dealers.
As an owner of an Allison transmission, you have service locations throughout the world that are eager to
meet your parts and service needs with:
Expert service by trained personnel
Emergency service 24 hours a day in many
areas
Complete parts support
Sales teams to help determine your
transmission requirements
Product information and literature.
Normally, any situation that arises in connection with
the sale, operation, or service of your transmission will
be handled by the distributor or dealer in your area.
Check the telephone directory for the Allison
Transmission service outlet nearest you or utilize
Allison Transmissions Sales and Service Locator tool
on the Allison Transmission web site at
www.allisontransmission.com. You may also refer to
Allison Transmissions Worldwide Sales and Service
Directory (SA2229EN).
We recognize, however, that despite the best intentions
of everyone concerned, misunderstandings may occur.
To further assure your complete satisfaction, we have
developed the following three-step procedure to be
followed in the event a problem has not been handled
satisfactorily.
Step OneDiscuss your problem with a member of
management from the distributorship or dealership.
Frequently, complaints are the result of a breakdown
in communication and can quickly be resolved by a
member of management. If you have already
discussed the problem with the Sales or Service
Manager, contact the General Manager. All Allison
Transmission dealers are associated with an Allison
Transmission distributor. If the problem originates
with a dealer, explain the matter to a management
member of the distributorship with whom the dealer
has his service agreement. The dealer will provide his
Allison Transmission distributors name, address, and
telephone number on request.

Step TwoWhen it appears the problem cannot be


readily resolved at the distributor level without
additional assistance, contact the Allison Technical
Assistance Center at 800-252-5283. They will place
you in contact with the Regional Customer Support
Manager for your area.
For prompt assistance, please have the following information available.
Name and location of authorized distributor or

dealer
Type and make of vehicle/equipment
Transmission model number, serial number,

and assembly number (if equipped with


electronic controls, also provide the TCM
assembly number)
Transmission delivery date and accumulated

miles and/or hours of operation


Nature of problem
Chronological summary of your transmissions

history
Step ThreeIf you are still not satisfied after contacting the Regional Customer Support Manager, present
the entire matter to the Home Office by writing to the
following address:
Allison Transmission
Manager, Warranty Administration
P.O. Box 894, Mail Code 462-470-PF9
Indianapolis, IN 46206-0894
The inclusion of all pertinent information will assist
the Home Office in expediting the matter.
When contacting the Home Office, please keep in
mind that ultimately the problem will likely be resolved at the distributorship or dealership utilizing
their facilities, equipment, and personnel. Therefore, it
is suggested that Step 1 be followed when experiencing a problem.
Your purchase of an Allison Transmission product is
greatly appreciated, and it is our sincere desire to
assure complete satisfaction.
