Allison 5sp: I'm limped, p0872

[NKlamerus]

Well...

So I got it out and removed the electronic plug for e.

There are 2 Burs/cuts where that e plug enters the body. One at about 4 ocklock and one at 8 ocklock. (6 ocklock is the wore terminal)

I'm assuming I am going to break the valve body in half for good cleaning.

You will have to split it if you plan on accessing the E shift valve.

250 dollars worth of transynd. That's 500 dollars in fluid in less than a month.

Yeah that stuff is rediculous ain't it! Hope you have stamina for that reemer tool haha

Update;

Water and dirt entered through a missing dipstick grommet. (Oriellys actually had one on the shelf and advanced and autozone don't even Carry the part)

I called suncoast for last minute suggestions and they said to hook the reamer tool to a drill. That way it could spin and move in and out.

Worked like a charm! Cleaned everything up and we are good to go!

Installing here in about 10 minutes

I always thought about using a paint filter/strainer to clean fluid out in cases like this. Get a pump and run it through a spin on Allison filter....

 

[NKlamerus]

Well shut....

Won't shift out of park.

I had to pull the valve cover off two times to get it to finally work. New filters and new fluid every time.

Was it the p0872 both times?

Ya and also the p0700 and another one the second time

 

[NKlamerus]

Alright true mechanics out there.

If I take the NSBU off can I manually shift the tranmission by grabbing the Lever and twisting it?

Can an NSBU lock up the PRNDL like that?

 

[NKlamerus]

Boom! Done! Truck runs like a champ again!

I missed a pain that aligns in a groove to shift the NSBU.

Nice fix. Nice to see people fix things themselves.

Thank you.

I always wanted to learn how it went together.....just maybe not on these terms!
