Built transmission and shift time?
- Thread starter skintback
- Start date
I haven't had to tear into any new builds to check them. Evan did a bunch of testing with them, so he would be able to answer that better
So skint.... is the conclusion that at least some of your delayed shifting can be attributed to mechanical slipping of the clutches rather than a tuning issue?
This has been a golden thread though! Reminds me of the old days!! Thanks gentlemen! :thumb: I hope Tom sees this, he's been dissappointed with the lack of technical discussion on here lately. This one fills that void nicely.

There are less technical discussions here because most of the people here are pretty well educated on the Allison.
It's nice not getting the same old questions like " when should I change my spin on and such " and then arguing with the dumbshit that asked the question.
You should be good to go Mike if that's when you bought them. I've had the new style GPZ in my 06 and have torn it down a few times to try new things and evertime they have been right where I set them. I've seen .175 clearance on some older builds using the original GPZ c1's and so far only one complete failure from a two year old build.
Show i would say i have found a problem with it not shifting on time is it all the problem only time will tell i should have it back up and running in about a month i sent out my injectors for some motorsports nozzles so that should give the new trans set up a run for it's money

How much pressure are you running?
IMO from what i have seen, i believe what led to the failure of c3 was a few things. Growing clearance in c1 (which has since been fixed) probably contributed as much as the poor quality of steel used in the early design Raybestos c3/c4 steels. Overpowering could have also played a factor as clearance grew, possibly poor tuning... multiple factors probably contributed. Quality of material along with coating technology has been an issue but is getting rectified and handled. This is the main reason we went full Alto steels on c3/c4 (3 thick 2 thin) VS (5) Raybestos .086 steels we were using prior to. It's getting worked out though, No one ever said being on the tip of the spear in technology was going to be easy. Send these to me and i will update you free of charge.

unfortunately i will not be able to fulfill that request on the .086 NO one has them.
