high mileage rebuild questions

[mainer]

Going to be rebuilding my 02 ally come spring time and looking for some advice.

Its got 211k on it now (never been apart) never limped (60hp tune). and I'll probably put another 15k on it before I get around to tearing it out.

I need to know what needs/ should be replaced as far as bearings, seals, bushings etc with the mileage it has....


Other than that I've got: alto power packs and pump shim, and am planning on getting a precision converter, transgo, and lockup valve.


any advice appreciated.

When I tore mine down after 115k I replaced all the thrust bearings. They're 3 bucks ea from an alli dealer. Other then that I'm not sure

Put a complete Allison rebuild kit in it with pistons. Check bushings and replace as needed.

Sorry I have not called Mike, got busy at work blah blah. Anyways, if a person went with a SC stage 4 trans, would they have to replace the pistons or no?

I would if you have high miles. I spoke with Mike before I rebuilt mine. Due to money I chose not to replace the pistons. Its never been quite right.

So change em.

I thought pistons were included with the stage 4 kit, something about them being cut down to increase clutch count?

After high mileage the C1 piston is critical.

c3 piston and c4 piston are included in the stage 4 kit.

I can do a lot better on the rebuild kit and it's OEM Allison with pistons.
