Allison transmission rebuild tools

[StevenB]

My company wants me to take a Allison transmission class, maintenance and overhaul classes.
I'll like to know what tools are involved in rebuilding a Allison transmission? Any specialty tools needed?

 

[Provincial]

Which Allison?

 

[volvo92906]

Big rigs? Bearing puller, slide hammer, bearing splitters, snap ring pliers, retaining ring pliers, sockets.

Pick ups? Probably about the same. Never had those apart.

[joedodge]

Lol you arent kidding at all there. The Allison's are good trannys not to many issues hell so is the dmax lol.

You'll need a set of these to remove that heavy *** torque converter. That's about as far into them as I have been.

The company looses about $1,500 an hour when a truck is down, trucks run 12-14hr 6 days a week. Service call or take it to a shop takes a 24hrs for someone look at it. The company wants to keep that down to a minimum. They just purchased me the Allison DOC program.
I've got a old th350 in the shed that I'm going to practice on before I attempt rebuilding a Allison, maybe find a broken Allison.
The trucks are Peterbilts 325.

Sorry, looks like I made the internet mad!

 

[LXCam]

If you want a little more in-depth knowledge, go to miller tool. They sell all the kits, that way you can look n drool over the pretty pictures

 

[jam022316]

Thanks for keeping me in a job! Goodluck on the training!

 

[StevenB]

We currently don't have a lift and they really don't have the room for one. Unless they get the mobile lift. I'm not sure if I can get the trucks high enough to even pull them out.
But they're seriously looking into it, it'll be a big plus for me.

 

[joedodge]

Always wanted a set of the torque converter handles ......jealous

 

[redwrench60]

Big bastards don't really give much trouble and when they do it's usually electrical.

I have a set of those T/C handles........what do I win?

 

[GTA Matt]

Its nice that the handles fit all GM converters. I use mine all the time, makes it easier to handle them. Cuts down on messes for sure.

 

[devoncoolman]

Surprised their running the 1000 series alison. Good transmission. Most issues are torque converter, electrical, or valve body related.
