    Allison 5sp: Allison overheated still runs and shifts fine aluminum shavings in the heat exchanger

    What would cause my flex plate to torque converter bolts to break? I have about 2000 miles on my rebuild and I started to get a loud noise from under the truck. I decided to pull out the starter and check the bolts. Two were sheared off and I tried to remove the rest and three more twisted...

    Allison 5sp: Allison overheated still runs and shifts fine aluminum shavings in the heat exchanger

    I finally put the tranny all back together and it runs great again. I replaced all the bushings, seals, bearings, torque converter rebuilt w/ billet stator and installed a new radiator. All of this because the torque converter failed. Thanks for all the help with this project.

    Allison 5sp: Allison overheated still runs and shifts fine aluminum shavings in the heat exchanger

    Mike, that is not a picture of my pump above mine looks brand new. The build is 4 years old and has only been used as a daily driver with light towing. I run a ppe excelerator on level 3 no racing at all. My truck lives a boring life lol.

    Allison 5sp: Allison overheated still runs and shifts fine aluminum shavings in the heat exchanger

    Update.... My dad and I tore apart the transmission and everything seems to look good inside. I pulled apart the pan filter and there was not much debris inside of it (see picture). I cut apart the spin on filter and there was only a fine metallic color to the fluid inside. Most of the...

    Allison 5sp: Allison overheated still runs and shifts fine aluminum shavings in the heat exchanger

    Quick update on my tranny problems..... I pulled out the tranny over the weekend and pulled off the torque converter. I looked down inside the end and it looks tore up inside see pictures. The heat exchanger is also packed with this same material im guessing aluminum.

    Allison 5sp: Allison overheated still runs and shifts fine aluminum shavings in the heat exchanger

    After reading what Mike L had to say and a nice chat with Rick at PPE, I will be pulling my transmission out and going through it with a fine tooth comb along with a torque converter rebuild. I also noticed today that the truck wanted to creep a little at the stoplights so I had to apply a...

    I have a 2003 6.6l with a PPE Xcelerator level 3 and a PPE stage5 Allison build with the billet torque converter. Three weeks ago I was towing about 10,000 pounds to California when for the first time ever the Allison started to get hot and overheat. I pulled over and did a quick google...
