The transmission should be kept clean for easy
inspection. Make periodic checks for loose bolts
and leaking fluid. Check the condition of the
electrical harnesses regularly. Check the engine
cooling system occasionally for evidence of
transmission fluid that would indicate a faulty
oil cooler. Report any abnormal condition to an
Allison Service Center.
Prevent Major Problems:
Help the control system oversee the operation
of the transmission. Minor problems can be kept
from becoming major problems if an Allison
Transmission Service center is notified when one
of these conditions occur:
1. Shifting feels odd.
2. Transmission leaks fluid.
3. Unusual transmission-related sounds
(sound made by normal engine
thermostatic fan cycling when climbing
a long grade with a heavy load are
often mistaken for transmission-related
sounds).
4. The Check Trans indicator comes on
frequently.
tranSmISSIon fluID & fIlterS
The transmission is filled with TranSynd™
synthetic transmission fluid at the factory.
TranSynd™ synthetic transmission fluid extends
service intervals. A small tag has been attached
to the dipstick identifying that the transmission
is filled with TranSynd™ synthetic transmission
fluid.
Fluid and Filter Change Interval:
The transmission has two
filters: a main filter and
a lube filter. Change the
main filter at the first 5,000
miles. Thereafter
follow the service
intervals listed in
the transmission
OEM (Original
Equipment
Manufacturers)
manual. Fluid and filters 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 fluid 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.
Proper Fluid Levels:
Transmission fluid cools, lubricates and
transmits hydraulic power. Proper fluid levels
must be maintained at all times. If fluid level
is too low, the converter and clutches do not
receive an adequate supply of fluid. If fluid level
is too high, the fluid can aerate. Aerated fluid
can cause the transmission to shift erratically or
overheat.
An
Oil Level Sensor (OLS)
is built into the
transmission. The fluid level can be checked
easily and cleanly using the shift selector. Check
the transmission fluid level before each trip and
after removing the motorhome from storage.
Fluid Level Check from the Shift Selector:
To Enter Oil Level Sense Mode:
Park the motorhome on a level surface.
Place the transmission in “
N
” and set
parking brake.
The transmission temperature must be at
least at operating temperature or an error
code will appear.
The motorhome must be stationary and in
Neutral for approximately two minutes to
allow the fluid to settle in the sump.
The engine must be idling lower than 800
RPM.
Simultaneously press the Up and Down
buttons once.
The transmission is now in Oil Level Sense
mode. The display will indicate one character at
a time. An “
o
” followed by “
L
” represents oil
level check mode. One of the following will be
indicated:
