Periodic Inspections:
For easier inspection, the transmission should be kept clean. Make periodic checks for loose bolts and
leaking fl uid lines. Check the condition of the electrical harnesses regularly. Check the engine cooling system
occasionally for evidence of transmission fl uid which would indicate a faulty oil cooler. Report any abnormal
condition to the Allison dealer.
Because the transmission fl uid cools, lubricates and transmits hydraulic power, it is important that the proper
fl uid level be maintained at all times. If the fl uid level is too low, the converter and clutches do not receive an
adequate supply of fl uid. If the fl uid level is too high, the fl uid can aerate. Aerated fl uid can cause the transmission
to shift erratically or overheat.
NOTE:
The motorhome should be stationary for approximately two minutes prior to checking the
fluid levels to ensure fluid is stabilized.
TRANSMISSION LUBRICATING FLUID
Transmission performance, reliability and durability are important infl uences
in the type of fl uids used. The Transmission is fi lled with TranSynd™ synthetic
transmission fl uid.
The dipstick and an oil fi ll are located between the engine and transmission
underneath the engine access door in the bedroom. A small tag has been attached
to the dipstick identifying the use of TranSynd™ synthetic transmission fl uid. A
remote fi ll has been installed in the rear of the motorhome. The orange colored cap
can identify this.
CAUTION:
Use of any type of transmission lubricating fluid other than TranSynd™
will void the
warranty.
Fluid and Filter Change Interval:
The transmission has two fi lters: a main fi lter and a lube fi lter. Change the main fi lter at the fi rst 5,000 miles.
Thereafter follow the service intervals listed in the transmission OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers)
manual. Fluid and fi lters may require changing earlier than recommended in the transmission OEM manual,
depending on the severity of operating conditions. Fluid must also be changed whenever there is evidence of
dirt or high temperature operation as indicated by discoloration, strong odor or fl uid analysis. Local conditions,
severity of operation or duty cycle will dictate more or less frequent service intervals.
CAUTION:
Do not mix Dexron III
®
transmission fluid with TranSynd™ Synthetic transmission fluid.
NOTE:
Be sure to retain the receipt for proof of the initial Main filter change. Refer to the Allison
transmission owner’s manual or contact an authorized Allison service center for service
intervals.
