...$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.

Sorry but your transmission is toast. Any water on the clutch discs will cause "delamination" of material. Since this set for three years there is no way any clutch disc will be good. That includes the torque convertor lock-up clutch too. Also the rust factor on the valves and other hard parts...

That V10 engine develops more power then the Spicer 3053 can handle. You will tear up your transmission and clutch every time you "get on it" . If your determined to use this engine, then use the whole package. Engine, transmission and transfer case. You can always beef-up the transmission and...

...a beast of a thing. Weighs a ton and the gears are massively over built. Same for the Rockwells (differentials) too. Just don't "shock" them. You know, rev up the engine and drop the clutch sort of thing. Or down shift fast and hard. All that puts shock to the system which is not good for any...

...a 350 V8 in front of it. Then find a good body M135 and put it in it. I even have all the parts stashed away around here. Got the good 1948 Brass clutch plates, and a really rare gear to gear front pump ! Usually they came with the 10 vane style pumps which could break vanes under hard pressure.

If anyone has tried to find replacements for their clutch shaft expansion plugs you know how hard it is to find them cheap. They are half the thickness of a standard 1.5" expansion plug which makes it even more difficult to find let alone cheap. So I bit the bullet and bought some from "Teds...

Heat cracks are quite common on most all diesel engine flywheels. Most can be ground out when the flywheel is resurfaced.

This is great advice from cattlerepairman. I would listen to it. I was going to give you the information after you bought the truck. No need to increase the value before you buy it !

Forget the Spicer 3053. Just go with the Allison ! With a six speed overdrive that should really make the Deuce fly down the road !

...I'm still working on. I have three spare transmissions, two spare transfer-cases and three differentials. Plus four NOS alternators, two NOS clutch assemblies, four spare drivelines with new 'U'-joints (one NOS), two NOS water pumps and four rebuilt injection pumps. Also two full sets of...

The Deuce was just marking it's territory ! Now that you cleaned it up it will have to remark it's spot ! :D

...then. You did it yourself or it didn't happen. Since I was rebuilding Allison's along with TH400's I soon found out the similarities. "You know this clutch plate looks just like that clutch plate ! This pump bushing is the same diameter as that one but it's wider ! " . That was how it happened.

...in parts alone. You will need the 6 pinion planetary's along with the "300M" or better steel mainshafts and drive hubs. Also "Blue Alto" clutches and "Kolene" steels are mandatory. Of course you can rebuild a 4L80E to take 800HP for under $1000.00. I have done it. Used to build transmissions...

There's lots of little "secrets" transmission rebuilders find out through the years. Since I worked on the larger trucks I had more opportunity's to find out these little gems about the early Allison's and the connections between "GMC" and "Detroit Diesel Allison". Glad this knowledge is finally...

Glad I could help Toby.

OK Toby. Here are several places I have bought parts from. All sell good quality parts www.transmissioncenter.com Good quality race parts www.transpartsonline.com General good quality kits and parts www.transmissionpartsusa.com General good quality kits and parts www.coanracing.com...

Thanks Toby. I'm still feeling pretty sick from the anti-biotic treatment, but I'm getting better. I hope ! Since I retired I no longer have access to my wholesale suppliers. There are several "performance" venders I still use. I'll send you the information. This is fun ! When I rebuilt the...

...a lot of rebuilders (myself included) used to use Allison 540 converters in heavy truck TH400 applications. Now the newer Th4L80E uses a lock-up converter and is physically deeper in width (due to the lock-up clutch) then the TH400. Can it be adapted to fit the Allison 1540 ? Interesting...

One nice thing you can use is TH400 plates in the Allison Forward and Direct clutches. This way you can benefit from all the racing clutch plates out there including the heavy duty "Kolene" steels. The early trick for racing TH400's was to use the Allison AT540 clutches since they where very...

Actually that is pretty good news ! Sometimes it takes something like this to motivate me into actions that I've been meaning to do for years sometimes ! I've been meaning to remove and rebuild that steering gear, but what a pain in the butt job ! I've been meaning to paint that engine...
