For easier inspection, the transmission should be kept clean. Make periodic
checks for loose bolts and leaking fluid lines. Check the condition of the elec-
trical harnesses regularly. Check the engine cooling system occasionally for
evidence of transmission fluid which would indicate a faulty oil cooler. Report
any abnormal condition to the Allison dealer.
Help the electronic control system oversee the operation of the transmis-
sion. Minor problems can be kept from becoming major problems if you notify
an Allison Transmission distributor or dealer when one of these conditions
occur:
1. The shifting feels odd.
2. The transmission leaks fluid.
3. Unusual transmission-related sounds (changes in sound caused by
normal engine thermostatic fan cycling, while climbing a long
grade with a heavy load, have been mistaken for transmission-
related sounds).
4. The
CHECK TRANS
light comes on frequently.
Because the transmission fluid cools, lubricates and transmits hydraulic
power, it is important that the proper fluid level be maintained at all times. If
the fluid level is too low, the converter and clutches do not receive an adequate
supply of fluid. If the fluid level is too high, the fluid can aerate. Aerated fluid
can cause the transmission to shift erratically or overheat.
NOTE: The motorhome should be stationary for approxi-
mately two minutes prior to checking the fluid levels to
ensure fluid is stabilized.
Transmission performance, reliability and durability are important
influences in the type of fluids used. The Transmission has been facto-
ry tested using TranSynd
TM
synthetic transmission fluid. Any other
transmission fluid will affect the service intervals and may affect the
warranty. The
ISB-275 ENGINE WITH A 2000 TRANSMISSION
REQUIRES USING TRANSYND
TM
synthetic transmission fluid.
However, for all other engine and transmission configurations, any
fluid meeting
Dexron-III®
specifications are acceptable for use in the
transmission. The dipstick/oil fill is located between the engine and
transmission underneath the engine access door in the bedroom. A
small tag has been attached to the dipstick identifying if using
TranSynd
TM
synthetic transmission fluid.
