Thank you. It just seamed as though everyone was against him. Yeah he could have had more info and such but since he's in college he's probably young and inexperienced just like all of us was at one point in our life. Allison trannys are some tough critters to build, I am sure Mike will vouch for that. We all need to step back and get off our high horse sometimes and remember where we came from. Myself included.
those of us posting to take it to someone reputable and quit dicking with it have seen these threads time and time again.
They are not hard to build till a problem arises. then nothing in the install book will help you. The diy guys that fix their issues that built their trans generally dont know what they did to fix it OR they break things internally over and over till they fix/replace something they didnt realize caused the issues to begin with. It sounds like im quote Mike L to the T but its just cause ive seen him post that same stuff for years about guys doing their own installs and Mike aint wrong. Ive seen it be true time after time.
There is no high horse involved, we are trying to save the him from creating more issues or spending even more money due to broken parts or torn up clutches/converter. Flat out, we dont know what he did inside that trans and only someone well versed in Allisons can look inside and see where the issues lay. Just being blunt and to the point with him. He bought the kit and installed himself to save money but that doesnt look to be doing him much favors now and its a common issues with Allison DIYers that have problems inside. your money ahead taking it to someone who can do it right the first time UNLESS you plan on sitting down, learning the hydraulics of the allison, understanding the workings of the TCM, know to then start seeing where the failure points are and how they can be fixed, and then understand every mod you do to the trans and what its doing. If you dont want to do that, buy a kit that has a damn good guy's help that is just a phone call away like Evan.
No scuff at you Slim and none of this means we wont help, thats not how this forum works and we have given him points to start at. Until we get that info back, its a waiting game.
