This sucks. Need a hoist to put myself in upside down. Would make things better

looks like the only wAy to get torque converter bolts off is by removing the starter? Can’t find any other way. If the other option is that small access plate below it, there is no chance.

Here we go.

I’m fielding all your ideas but how do I get a take out from a military truck that does not have oil? Or do you mean. Buy a take out. And before I install it. Service it and put in dex. ?

Someone in Utah got this. Any one know who? Want to sell it? https://www.govplanet.com/for-sale/Parts-Allison-MT654CR-Transmission-Fits-5-Ton-Cargo-Trucks-Kansas/1544661?h=5000%2Csm%7C1%2Ck%7Cmt654cr%2Cmf%7C1&rr=1&hitprm=&pnLink=yes

Anyone know if (wartimefinds) on ebay is a member here?

Big question is can I put it back together fill it back up and drive it to a better location where I can get help pulling out and putting in. Assuming those pieces are just from reverse??

All those little black strips are metal shards. Maybe 20 pieces. All stuck to the magnet. Other than that. Clean as a whistle.

So I assume this is bad. Not a trans guy but a handful of little strips of metal in the pan.

The truck is back in it's home. Will have to wait till next week as I work all weekend. I will check out these things and probably drop the pan. I did confront the shop with these questions and they said that if the gov. filter was clogged pressure check would not have come out ok. Truck ran...

Wes. I had sent you a PM. Did you get it?

Had just done a filter change a couple months ago. Will take it off and have a look.

what did you put back in?

Ok. Spoke with Allison shop. Answer...pressure test came back at 300. Said the valves are shifting? (did not drop pan). According to trouble shooting guide it means bad clutches? So there answer is bad trans. Fluid seems fin to me. Not convinced.

have not. Just had a pressure check done and was fine. Problem is intermittent no reverse and no current 5th gear on my drive home. Is that on the inside or outside?

But there has to be a point where replacing the entire trans. Out weighs chasing the demons? With the way the trans is acting it seems more like a blockage over burned up. Just need the shop to be honest with thier investigation and not just tell me it needs a trans. The other Allison shop I...

So I had the pressure check done today at Western Branch. The big Allison people by me. They of course had the truck first thing this morning and left me a message as they were closing. Could not get tech on the line but was told pressure was good. Guess I will find out in the morning what they...

so does that trash the trans?

will make that call tomorrow as no one open today.

temps are good. Saw a YouTube video of a guy checking pressure but that was for checking no forward gears. Those seem normal accept reverse and now 5th.
