He installed new C5 clutches and the steels were thicker causing the C5 to lock up in the appliied position. He went back in and replaced a few steels with thinner ones and solved the problem.
Glad he got it fixed, I commend those who do there own trany work, but this is why someone way smarter than me puts there hands in my tranny.
The thing is the Allison is like no other transmission inside like you've seen. Pretty simple which has made transmission rebuilders out of many but it is VERY easy to make a simple mistake by not rechecking your work. That and buying your parts from a reputable individual so you end up with a clutch pack that gives you the proper specs.
It never hurts to check the clearance although which can save you hours of time.

This is why you ignore everything someone tells you when you are trying to diagnose there problem. Or at the very least, take it with a grain of salt....
That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. I listened to the guy, who was not a customer and helped him solve his problem.
I guess if you built a couple of Allisons and got lucky, and they worked, you could say you know it all and tell the poor guy with the problem that he is full of shit.
There is more knowledge and info to be had by listening then talking.
