FAQ on How we check out your Off Highway Transmission (what we do)

Allison Transmission Troubleshooting Diagnostic Chart

1) Linkage check:
    (a) Check the Shift selector position at the transmission in all ranges
    (b) Check the modulator, modulator cable, vacuum modulator, air modulator, or electric modulator

2) Start engine (verify engine idle rmp)

3) Verify oil temperature

4) Verify oil level and for oil leaks

5) Install pressure guages

6) Road Test vehicle to confirm complaint.
    a) At idle reverse PSI
    b) First gear PSI
    c) Second gear PSI
    d) Third gear PSI
    e) Fourth gear PSI
    f) Fifth gear PSI
    g) Sixth gear PSI
    h) Lockup PSI

7) Remove the transmission oil pan for inspection, check to see if there is any foreign material, clean, varnished, water, metal, other.
