Tore down a 5 speed tonight. It was murdered inside. Every clutch was burnt. c1s had to be pryed off the input shaft. The c5s were pretty black as well. I know its recommended to leave them stock....But just curious since they had light heat spots in the steels (weren't warped) if I should just replace the frictions and steels or just put new frictions in. I know the steels are selective so just curious what is recommended in a situation like this. Thanks in advance.

Can't say I've seen that bad before. Maybe two or three packs but not all of them. Did it have pressure problems?
He brought me the trans I told him I wanted truck but he insisted. I see it has new speed sensors in it i guess he tried. It creeped forward in drive and had reverse. I'm going to make him bring the truck to me so I can install and test pressure.
And just throwing it out ther, I asked just about replacing frictions because iv seen at trans shops where if steels were okay, they would just replace frictions and gaskets/seals. That's the only reason I ask. It's been a long day and I guess I just wasn't thinking. Gonna mic it out tomorrow and order new everything from the allison dealer.

No no....I'm making him bring me the truck. Ill flush it with our machine at work before it goes back in
thats my plan. A local shop here can steam clean them do you think that would be more beneficial or just use a fluid exchange machine?
Flushing machines have trouble getting all the clutch material out of the honey comb.
