    M939/A1/A2 ABS vs. Non-ABS Trucks

    The transmission service manuals have to be purchased, but their user manual is available for download. http://www.allisontransmission.com/servlet/DownloadFile?Dir=publications/pubs&FileToGet=OM1334EN.pdf There is a section on lockup clutch function. It is not clear whether the lockup...

    M939/A1/A2 ABS vs. Non-ABS Trucks

    Without some sort of brake input to the trans, the only other way I could see the TCC disengaging is if it were designed to on a decel, via hydraulic circuits and the throttle input.

    Bjorn, my understanding of the 939 torque converter is that it locks in towards the top of 2nd gear and stays locked in for the rest of the upshifts. I can feel this as sort of an extra 1/2 gear "shift" right before going into 3rd. In the civvy junk, a brake pedal electronic input kicks out...
