...of what you'll see ? You spent time with your father, that's great. But your father was not operating the truck properly if he never used the clutch. You cannot blame him though as they didn't have the schools back then. So you learned to drive from your father then. You didn't go to a...

Did you go to the website I posted ? This is "EATON's" site. The manufacturer of the transmission. They say use the clutch ! Go to the site, look at the video's posted and then come back here and tell me why I'm wrong to say "use the clutch" . The "stories" or "MYTHS" about all the truckers...

Evidently you never took EATON/Fuller's advice on how to use their transmissions. No one said you needed to "double clutch" the Deuce transmission. Just use the clutch to shift.

...for a reason. This allows the smooth shifting they are known for. But for all there upgrades the manufacturer still says you are to "Double Clutch" their transmission. Don't believe me ? Than look at this video on "EATON's" wedsite. RT-18 manual transmission | 18-speed transmission| Eaton...

...the gears!" They always were bragging about their skill in shifting the transmission so "smoothly" . Most all professional truckers use the clutch, especially if their split shifting. That is why all big transmissions have a "clutch brake" which acts like a input shaft brake, built in. It's...

...make this noise again do this check. Make sure the park brake is on. Check your transmission oil level. Then start up your truck. Push in the clutch and put the transmission in first gear. With the clutch fully depressed, does the noise get louder or changes ? If so than the throw-out bearing...

...align up. If they don't then you could have bad torque rods or other serious suspension issues. Once the engine is started check the clutch and transmission and transfer-case. Check to make sure your alternator is charging. I also like to have a good cab, so I check for rust and door...

Glad to help. Now about the cone clutch. Yes, they are as hard to find as "hens teeth" . I never saw anyone resurface one as you would also need to resurface the not only the aluminum cone but the housing as well. That would make your clearances a problem. The seal could be changed out to a...

Our Deuce already has a "SAE" adapter for the Spicer transmission. That is how my Allison will adapt to the engine. The problem is the "flywheel" which I have. It was designed to fit the Allison 540 transmission which corresponds to the Allison 1000/2000 transmission. I was going to have my...

Hey M1010plowboy, how you doing ? The problem with the old dual range hydro's wasn't so much the valve bodies since they are extremely simple but the many lines and servo's used in this transmission. The rear band servo holds almost a half a quart of fluid in itself ! Then there is the rear pump...

OK I know this sounds weird but, do you have the older style transfer-case ? If you do, then you could have a bind-up with the over-running clutch. This can cause all kinds of problems, including ones that look at first glance like a bad clutch. It can also cause the truck to not move, like the...

Yes. With the torque converter "lock-up" clutch engaged you're basically acting like a manual clutch. Since all the newer Allisons lock-up the torque converter in third gear (some will lock-up earlier if manual mode is selected) their basically an automatic "manual" transmission for the rest of...

...fortune to buy or rebuild and take a week to rebuild. I know as I have rebuilt them. They also don't last that long either. As far as the clutch material in an automatic transmission go's, they are all made from special synthetic fibers. There are no paper clutches anymore. Having been in the...

Driving in snow with an "automatic" transmission-ed vehicle is always easier. You don't get what I call the "clutch factor" . Thats the extra torque to the rear axle due to reving up the engine to allow the time to shift gears and still keep speed up and the jerking it always causes. I don't...

The heavy wear side will go to the rear of the engine. Remember the crank is "pushed" by the clutch . That causes the wear on the rear facing side of the bearing.

...worked on. Then there was the one getting major work done on it, like getting the engine, transmission, or differential replaced. Then of course there was the daily ones like the clutch slipping, lights out, coolant leaks etc. We had over 20 mechanics in our shop and they all were busy everyday.

Now take that up one notch and learn to shift without using the clutch. It is a real good feeling to be able to shift by throttle and engine RPM alone. I had to drive a platoon of my fellow Marines back to base after the clutch got stuck and would not release. That was three hours of fun !

Hate to say it but you might have clutch damage. That screeching sound is a lack of fluid and the clutch trying to engage. That is also why your performance is bad. The clutch packs are slipping. There are not many transmission shops left that can work on a AT1540/AT540 transmission. Even though...

Boy you got that right ! Cheaper just means it will cost you more later. I replaced all my rubber hoses with the "Braided Stainless Steel" covered Teflon hoses. They should last my lifetime and that of my son too !

...$350.00 . They are not popular anymore because of the lack of an overdrive gear. A good TH4L80E is around $700.00 and just as strong as a AT540 when built right. They actually share the same "forward" and "direct" clutches. Of course it is longer and it would be a pain to find the correct yoke.
