Allison 5sp: tools needed to rebuild a 1000 4X4

[Mike L.]

anyone else have any comment on weather or not this is really an issue with leaving solvent in there?? also is it safe to be using mineral spirits etc as solvent?? dont want to damage anything/ dry it out by using the wrong solvent.

Mineral spirits are fine.

One word of advice for anyone building an Allison, unless you're doing an 01 or 02: don't rely on the ATSG manual as gospel. It's 97% accurate, and VERY useful to have, but there are some differences between it and the newer Allisons that had me scratching my head for a few minutes.

X2 some stuff in the manual doesnt make any sence at all, it is very helpful to have though.

The stuff as you call it makes a lot of sense. Some of the parameters are not correct for an upgraded Alli, but will work.
