Was that tear caused by the material left in the trans by the previous builder or does it just randomly happen?
Riddle me this..

My Allison engineer told me it was a common problem and Allison had a lot of warranty issues due to the improper bonding of the C3/C4 pistons. This can happen at any time on a stock piston. I've seen many C3 pistons do this but this is the first time I saw a C4 piston do it. It doesn't surprise me since they are identical but C3 is under more stress than C4.
I have yet to see an Alto piston do this.
I have seen c3s tear like that, i have also heard from mike and an allison guy that the oe pistons had this issue.
I seem to be having a stupid moment here, can some one please explain to me how tuning can tear a apply piston?

Tuning cannot tear a piston. It is a bonding issue. Only the bottom lip touches the case surface. These pistons tear above the lip on the side wall and that part of the piston doesn't touch anything.
I knew tuning didnt cause it, but i seen the lets blame the tuning talk starting so i wanted them to explain how it caused it!! Basiacly i was stiring the pot!!!
Soooo....
How does she run now???
I think we took a second or better off his 1/4 mile time.

Nah its fine you can blame me....everyone else does.
between me not knowing shit about ifs and you not knowing shit about tuning, i think we make a good team

All red everything and cranked t-bars makes for blazing fast 1/4 mile times. :nana:
It's all Steve's fault!!!!
If he could figure out how to use the C4 apply piston table.......
Think maybe he used the C4 apply chair instead.:roflmao:
I was wrong. I knew what I wanted to say, but my brain sometimes lags behind. It was not tuning as Mike said, and as you know, but I dont think the tuning it had in it before I bought it helped any. It scared me.
I have wasted 3/4 tank of fuel driving around. It's doin alright..
:hug:Thought that was a "X not reported" in the MIL? No...??? :rofl:It's all Steve's fault!!!!
