STARTING AND DRIVING
ALLISON TRANSMISSION
Oil and Filter Change
WARNING
Avoid contact with the hot fluid or the
sump when draining transmission fluid.
Direct contact with the hot fluid or the hot
sump may result in bodily injury.
NOTE
Do not drain the transmission fluid if only
filters are being replaced.
NOTE
At each fluid change, examine the drained
fluid for evidence of dirt or water. A normal
amount of condensation appears in the
fluid during operation.
Drain Fluid
1 Drain the fluid when the transmission
is at operating temperature of 71–
93°C (160–200°F). Hot fluid flows
quicker and drains more completely.
2 Remove the drain plug from the
control module and allow the fluid to
drain into a suitable container.
3 Examine the fluid for contamination.
CAUTION
Do not use the bolts to draw the filter
covers to the control module. Do not use
an impact wrench to tighten the bolts.
Using an impact wrench to tighten the
bolts may cause stripped threads and
expensive parts replacement. Use a
torque wrench to tighten the bolts.
Replace Filters
1 Remove 12 bolts (6), two filter covers
(5), two gaskets (4), four O-rings (2
and 3), and two filters (1) from the
bottom of the control module.
2 When reinstalling parts, lubricate and
install new O-rings (2 and 3) on each
filter cover (5). Lubricate O-ring
inside filter (1) and push filter onto
cover (5). Install new gaskets (4) on
cover (5) and align holes in gaskets
with holes in cover.
3 Install filter and cover assemblies
into the filter compartment. Align
each filter/cover assembly with the
holes in the channel plate/sump.
Push the cover assemblies in by
hand to seat the seals.
4 Install 12 bolts into filter cover and
tighten to 51–61 Nm (38–45 lb ft).
5 Replace the drain plug O-ring. Install
the plug and tighten to 25–32 Nm
(18–24 ft-lb).
