IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE


IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to be completely familiar with the Warnings and Cautions described in this Service Manual. These Warnings and Cautions advise against the
use of specific service methods that can result in personal injury, damage to the equipment, or cause the equipment to become unsafe. It is, however, important to understand
that these Warnings and Cautions are not exhaustive. Allison Transmission could not
possibly know, evaluate, and advise the service trade of all conceivable ways in which
service might be done or of the possible hazardous consequences of each way. Consequently, Allison Transmission has not undertaken any such broad evaluation. Accordingly, ANYONE WHO USES A SERVICE PROCEDURE OR TOOL WHICH IS NOT
RECOMMENDED BY ALLISON TRANSMISSION MUST first be thoroughly satisfied
that neither personal safety nor equipment safety will be jeopardized by the service
methods selected.
Proper service and repair are important to the safe, reliable operation of the equipment.
The service procedures recommended by Allison Transmission and described in this Service Manual are effective methods for performing service operations. Some of these service operations require the use of tools specifically designed for the purpose. The special
tools should be used when and as recommended.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES


Three types of headings are used in this manual to attract your attention:
WARNING!
is used when an operating procedure, practice,
etc., which, if not correctly followed, could result
in personal injury or loss of life.

CAUTION:
is used when an operating procedure, practice,
etc., which, if not strictly observed, could result
in damage to or destruction of equipment.

NOTE:
is used when an operating procedure, practice, etc.,
is essential to highlight.

LIST OF WARNINGS
This manual contains the following Warnings
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THEM.
Arc welding equipment requires dangerously high currents and voltages which cannot be sufficiently
reduced to permit its use for jump-starting. To help avoid injury or equipment damage, do not attempt
to jump-start the equipment using an arc welder.
Welding on the equipment may induce currents and voltages in the transmission electronic controls.
Sudden and unexpected movement may occur if the transmission controls are accidentally activated. To
avoid injury or property damage, always disconnect the Shift Pattern Generator (SPG) before welding
on the equipment.
To help avoid injury and property damage caused by sudden and unexpected vehicle movement, do not
begin a stationary stall test until you:

Put the transmission in N (Neutral).... and


Set the parking brake and service brakes, and make sure they are properly engaged... and
Chock the wheels and take any other steps necessary to keep the vehicle from moving... and
Warn people to keep clear of the vehicle and its path.

Electricity must never, under any circumstances, be applied to any electric valve body component while
the engine is running, while the mechanic is working under the vehicle, or while personnel are working
in the vehicle path. Sudden and unexpected movement may occur if the control valve solenoids are
activated by an external power supply. A runaway vehicle could only be stopped by applying the vehicle
brakes or shutting down the engine: removal of the power supply would not stop the vehicle because of
the fail-protection system. To help avoid injury or property damage, always shut off the engine, set the
vehicle brakes, and lock the wheels before any troubleshooting of the solenoids.
Removing the wiring harnesses from the transmission while the equipment power supply is ON can
cause unexpected shifts resulting in sudden, uncontrolled vehicle or equipment movement. To help avoid
injury or property damage, power from the equipment electrical system must be switched OFF before
disconnecting the transmission wiring.
Toxic gases are produced by burning Teflon. Exposure to these gases is extremely hazardous and can be
fatal. DO NOT burn discarded Teflon seals.
Drying a ball or roller bearing by spinning it with compressed air can cause the bearing to disintegrate,
allowing balls or rollers to become lethal flying projectiles. Spinning the bearing without lubrication can
also damage the bearing. To avoid injury and component failure, never dry bearings by spinning them
with compressed air.
To prevent any unexpected shift during removal of the wiring harnesses, be sure that the power supply
from the equipment electrical system is switched off.
Lifting the torque converter drive housing or flywheel assembly from the transmission can dislodge
lockup clutch parts from the housing or assembly. To avoid injury from falling parts, stay clear of the area
beneath the raised components and do not attempt to hold the parts in the assembly using your hands.
The cadmium-plated material used in the brazed joints of the main-pressure hose fittings produces toxic
yellow-brown gases when welded. Exposure to these gases is extremely hazardous and can be fatal. DO
NOT attempt to repair hose fitting joints by welding.
Interference between the main-pressure transfer tube assembly hose and the equipment causes binding
and abrasion of the hose. Failure of an abraded hose releases pressurized, heated fluid (pressures and
temperatures in the assembly can exceed 350 psi (2413 kPa) and 275 F (135C)). To help avoid injury
due to hose failure, prevent physical contact between the hose and equipment when installing the
transfer tube assembly.

NOTE:
For 5861 models, refer to Foldout 1.
For 5961, 5962, 5963, and 5600 Series models, refer

to Foldout 2.
For 6061, 6062, and 6063 models, refer to

Foldout 3.
For 6600 Series models, refer to Foldout 4.

a. Transmission-to-Engine Coupling
1. The direct-mounted transmission has a modified SAE 1 mounting face on the converter
housing which is bolted to the engine flywheel
housing. A flexible flywheel disk assembly
connects the engine crankshaft to the transmission input.
2. The remote-mounted transmission has a front
cover. A customer-selected flange connects the
engine via a drive shaft and universal joints to
the splined hub of the converter drive housing.

2. The variable-capacity (VC) torque converter,


like the fixed-capacity torque converter, contains a pump, stator, and turbine. The one difference is that, in the variable-capacity torque
converter, the angle of the stator vanes can be
changed for optimal use with some PTO applications.
c. Planetary Gearing. The planetary gear train includes constant mesh, straight spur gear planetary sets.
The forward set is arranged for overdrive or direct
drive and is called the splitter planetary. The remaining
sets are the intermediate planetary, the low planetary,
and the reverse planetary. By the engagement of the
clutches in various combinations, the planetary sets act
singly or together to provide six forward ranges and
one or two reverse ranges.
d. Clutches. The clutches direct the flow of torque
through the transmission in accordance with the range
selected by the operator. All clutches are hydraulically
applied and cooled by the transmission fluid. All
clutches, except the lockup clutch, are spring released.
The lockup clutch is released by hydraulic pressure
from the torque converter. The lockup clutch is automatically adjusted to compensate for wear and no
manual adjustment is necessary.
e. Hydraulic System (Foldouts 5, 6, and 7). A common hydraulic system serves the torque converter, the
hydraulic retarder, and the transmission. Transmission
fluid for all hydraulic operations, lubrication, and
cooling comes from the sump and is supplied by the
same pump.
f. Power Takeoff
1. A top-mounted power takeoff gear is available
to drive auxiliary equipment. The spur gear is
engine-driven and operates at 1.21 times engine speed. The eight-bolt mounting flange is
SAE heavy-duty.

5600, 5800, 5900, 6000, 6600 SERIES TRANSMISSIONS


2. A side-mounted power takeoff is available on
the lower-right side of the torque converter
housing. It is driven by a gear which rotates at
1.00 times engine speed. The eight-bolt mounting flange is SAE heavy-duty.
g. Lockup Clutch
1. The lockup clutch assembly includes a single
clutch plate, a piston, and a backplate. The internal-splined clutch plate is splined to the hub
of the converter turbine. When the clutch is applied, the converter turbine and the converter
pump are locked together and rotate as a unit.
Engine power is transmitted to the transmission gearing at a 1:1 ratio. In some models,
lockup occurs in all ranges and in neutral. In
other models, lockup occurs in all ranges except neutral, first range, and reverse.
2. Electronic-control models are equipped with
electronic-control lockup valve assembly 5
(Foldout 15,A); non-electronic models are
equipped with lockup valve assembly 6 (Foldout 15,B).

15. SHIFT CONTROL SYSTEMS


a. Manual-Electric Shift
1. The manual-electric system includes electrically-controlled valve body assembly 10 (Foldout 22) on the transmission, an operator-controlled manual-electric shift selector 1 (Foldout
33), and wiring harness 76. Also included is
pressure switch 22 (Foldout 15,B) which activates a downshift inhibitor.
2. Electro-magnetic solenoid valves control hydraulic circuits that shift the range control
valves. Six forward ranges, neutral, and reverse
are selected manually by the operator. The
electrical circuit, established by each position
of the operators shift selector, establishes a
hydraulic circuit in the transmission valve
body that produces neutral or drive in the range
selected.
3. Electrical power for actuation of the control
system is supplied by the equipment electrical
system. Electrical components to match the
equipment system voltage (12V or 24V dc)
are provided in the control system. An inte16

gral SFE 9A fuse is provided in the selector


assembly.
4. For models with lock-in-range, if electrical
power is interrupted (either at one solenoid or
completely), the transmission will continue to
operate in the forward range in which it was
operating at the time of the electrical interruption. If the electrical interruption occurs in neutral, the transmission will remain in neutral. If
the electrical interruption occurs in reverse, the
transmission will go into neutral.
5. For models with lock-in-neutral, if electrical
power is interrupted (either at one solenoid or
completely), the transmission will shift to neutral from any range in which it was operating.
An electrical interruption in dual-control
scraper models causes the rear transmission to
lock in neutral from any range.
b. Automatic-Electric Shift
1. The automatic-electric system includes electrically-controlled valve body assembly 10 (Foldout 22) on the transmission. The system also
includes automatic-electric shift selector assembly 1 (Foldout 35), Shift Pattern Generator
(SPG) 1 (Foldout 34), cab and equipment wiring harnesses 6 and 7, and may include either
fourth-range restrictor harness 2 or fifth-range
restrictor harness 3. The system also includes
throttle potentiometer assembly 9 on the engine throttle control mechanism and magnetic
pickup 8 in the transmission rear cover or
dropbox housing. The system may also include
range indicator 22.
2. If electrical power is interrupted (either at one
solenoid or completely), the transmission will
continue to operate in the forward range in
which it was operating at the time of the electrical interruption. If the electrical interruption
occurs in neutral, the transmission will remain
in neutral. If an electrical interruption occurs in
reverse, the transmission will go into neutral.
An electrical interruption in dual-control
scraper models causes the rear transmission to
lock in neutral from any range.
c. Electronic-Control Shift
1. An electronic, microcomputer-based shift system has replaced the Shift Pattern Generator

GENERAL INFORMATION
(SPG) system for some 5000 and 6000 models.
This system is the Allison Transmission Electronic Control. Electronic control models include M 5600 Series, CL(B)T 5962, 5963,
6062, 6063, and M 6600 Series transmissions.
2. Lock-in-range for electronic-control models is
as described in Paragraph 15b(2).
3. The electronic control system consists mainly
of an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) (Figure
16), throttle sensor 19 (Foldout 37), output
speed sensor 17, solenoids, and shift selector
13 or 14. The throttle sensor, output speed sensor, and shift selector transmit information to
the ECU. The ECU processes this information
and then sends signals to actuate specific solenoids located within the control valve bodies
on the transmission. The action of the solenoids affects hydraulic circuits which, in turn,
control the upshifts, downshifts, and lockup
functions. In addition to controlling the operation of the transmission, the electronic controls
monitor the system for abnormal conditions.
When one of these conditions is detected, the
electronic controls are programmed to automatically respond in a manner which is safe for
the operator, the equipment, and the transmission, and to record the proper diagnostic code
in memory. When an abnormal condition occurs, the CHECK TRANS light on the instrument panel lights up, or the CHECK TRANS
and the DO NOT SHIFT lights are activated.
When the DO NOT SHIFT light comes on, a
warning buzzer also sounds. Refer to SA2712,
Electronic Control Troubleshooting Manual,
for information on diagnostics, troubleshooting, and repair.
d. Manual-Hydraulic Shift. Some earlier 5000 and
6000 Series models are equipped with manually-controlled valve body 8 (Foldout 20). The control valve is
connected by mechanical linkage to the shift selector.
Because there is no automatic shifting in this system,
the operator must move the shift selector lever to obtain the desired operating range.

16. OPTIONS
a. Hydraulic Retarder. The hydraulic retarder consists of a rotor, fixed stator vanes, and an operator-controlled valve. The rotor turns continuously at turbine

output shaft speed. However, the retarder functions


only when the cavity around the rotor is filled with
transmission fluid. The rotor vanes force the fluid into
the pockets between the fixed vanes in the rotor cavity,
making it harder for the rotor to turn. This slows the
transmission output shaft and slows the equipment.
b. Parking Brake. A two-shoe, expanding parking
brake may be mounted at the rear output of the transmission.
c. Transfer Gears (Dropbox) (5800 and 5900 Series Models Only). The transfer gears for the transmission output provide a ratio of 1:1. The transfer gear
housing provides transmission output drive at a point
1812 inches (470 mm) lower than the transmission input centerline. The transmission sump is integral with
the transfer gear housing (dropbox). The transfer gear
housing has output locations at the front and/or rear.
d. Output Disconnects. Some dropbox models have
output disconnects at top rear, bottom rear, and/or bottom front output locations.
e. Flanges. Various models use a variety of input
and output flanges.
f. Speedometer Drive. For non-electronic models,
the speedometer drive is regular, SAE 532 inch heavy
duty. On straight-through models, the speedometer
drive ratio is 0.50:1. Transfer gear models have a
speedometer ratio of 1:1. For electronic-control models, speed sensor 17 (Foldout 37) is provided for speed
monitoring.

17. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS


WARNING!
Arc welding equipment requires dangerously
high currents and voltages which cannot be sufficiently reduced to permit its use for jump-starting. To help avoid injury or equipment damage,
do not attempt to jump-start the equipment using an arc welder.
a. Operators Manual. Refer to the current
OM1318EN or OM2034EN Operators Manuals for
operating instructions.

17

5600, 5800, 5900, 6000, 6600 SERIES TRANSMISSIONS


b. Manual Mode (For Electronic-Control ECU P/
N 1228282 Only)

CAUTION:
DO NOT USE THIS FEATURE TO ACHIEVE
MANUAL SHIFTING FOR NORMAL OPERATION. Transmission life could be significantly
reduced if automatic operation is defeated.
1. Manual mode is to be employed only for service diagnostics or to limp-home under low
speed. Activation of this feature should only be
done by a trained technician.
2. To activate manual mode, activate the key
switch or physically connect wire 311 to wire
309 in the secondary mode wiring harness.
Secondary mode must also be selected by connecting wires 313 and 315 to wire 309.
c. Cold Weather Starts. When the temperature is
below 10F (23C), the DO NOT SHIFT and
CHECK TRANS lights will stay on after the engine is
started. The transmission will stay in neutral, regardless of the range selected, until it is warmer than 10F
(23C). At that point, the CHECK TRANS and the

DO NOT SHIFT lights will turn off and the transmission will operate only in first range or reverse. At 20F
(7C), the transmission is warm enough to safely operate in all ranges.
d. Towing. All lubrication and clutch-apply fluid is
provided by the engine-driven pump. Because the
pump is located ahead of the transmission gearing and
clutches, the pump cannot be motored by towing or
pushing the vehicle. THEREFORE, THE DRIVELINE MUST BE DISCONNECTED IF THE VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED OR PUSHED.

SCOPE

22. MOUNTING, INPUT DRIVES

This section describes the transmission components,


explains their functions, and details the hydraulic system and torque paths. Where features are common to
all models, no reference is made to models. Where
features are specific to a model, the model is noted.
a. Two Configurations
1. Two configurations are included within the basic models. These are the straight-through and
dropbox configurations.
2. The straight-through configuration has the
transmission output at the rear of the transmission, in line with the transmission input (Figures 11, 12).

a. Remote Mounting
1. The remote-mounted transmissions include
converter drive housing 18 (Foldout 8,A) and
front cover 10. The drive housing is bolted to
and encloses torque converter pump 20 (Foldout 9,B). It encloses the torque converter at its
forward end and retains the transmission fluid
in the torque converter. The shaft on the converter drive housing extends forward through
the transmission front cover and is splined to
an output flange. The shaft of the converter
drive housing is supported on ball bearing 12
(Foldout 8,A). The transmission is coupled to
the engine through a drive shaft and universal
joints.

3. The dropbox configuration locates the transmission outputs at the front and/or rear, below the
transmission input (Figures 13, 14). On some
models, the dropbox configuration also includes
an additional output in line with the input.

2. Input seal 9 prevents entrance of dirt and loss


of transmission fluid. Front cover 10 is bolted
to torque converter housing 17 (Foldout 11).
The hub of the cover is machined to provide a
trunnion which supports the front end of the
transmission.

b. Control Systems. Refer to the following paragraphs for description and operation of the various control systems.

3. The rear of the transmission is supported at


mounting pads at each side of the rear cover or
dropbox housing.

1. Flywheel assembly 3 (Foldout 8,B) is bolted to


the front of converter pump 20 (Foldout 9,B)
and retains the transmission fluid in the torque
converter. Starter ring gear 4 (Foldout 8,B) is
shrunk onto the front of the flywheel. The outer
bolt circle of flexplate assembly 2 is bolted to
the flywheel. The hub of the disk assembly is
bolted to the engine crankshaft. Converter
housing 17 (Foldout 11) is bolted to the engine
flywheel housing and supports the front of the
transmission.
2. The rear end of the transmission is supported at
mounting pads at each side of the rear cover.

23. LOCKUP CLUTCH


a. Description. The lockup clutch includes piston 4
(Foldout 9,A), clutch plate 5, and backplate 7. Teflon
sealrings 1 and 2 seal piston 4 in converter drive housing 18 (Foldout 8,A) or in flywheel 6 (Foldout 8,B).

b. Operation
1. On models with non-electric lockup, the
lockup clutch is applied hydraulically in response to pitot pressure.
2. On models with electric lockup, the lockup
clutch is applied hydraulically in response to
the energized solenoid at the lockup valve.
3. When hydraulic pressure is applied against the
front of piston 4 (Foldout 9,A), the piston compresses clutch plate 5 against backplate 7. The
clutch plate then is forced to rotate with the
piston and backplate. These parts are attached
to, and rotate with, torque converter pump 20
(Foldout 9,B). The internal splines of clutch
plate 5 (Foldout 9,A) are meshed with the external splines of turbine 6 (Foldout 9,B). When
the lockup clutch is engaged, the torque converter turbine and pump are locked together.
This provides direct drive from the engine to
the transmission gearing.

24. TORQUE CONVERTER


FIXED CAPACITY
a. Description
1. The torque converter consists of three elements: pump, stator, and turbine (Figure 21).
These vaned elements are cast aluminum.

TURBINE

2. The torque converter pump (Figure 21) is the


input member and is driven by the engine.
The turbine is splined to turbine shaft assembly 5 or 10 (Foldout 16,A). The stator is the
reaction (torque multiplying) element. The
stator is supported on freewheel roller race 9
(Foldout 9,B), which is splined to converter
ground sleeve 39 or 43 (Foldout 11). This stator arrangement provides an overrunning
clutch which permits the stator to rotate freely
in one direction but lock up in the opposite
direction.
b. Operation
1. The torque converter assembly is continuously filled with transmission fluid, which
flows through the torque converter to cool and
lubricate it. When the torque converter is
driven by the engine, the pump vanes throw
fluid against the turbine vanes. The impact of
the fluid against the turbine vanes tends to rotate the turbine.
2. The turbine, splined to the turbine shaft, transmits torque to the transmission gearing. At engine idle speed, the impact of fluid against the
turbine vanes is not great. At high engine
speed, the impact is much greater than at idle,
and high torque is produced by the turbine.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


3. Transmission fluid thrown into the turbine
flows to the stator vanes. The stator vanes
change the direction of hydraulic flow (when
the stator is locked against rotation) and direct
the fluid to the pump in a direction that assists
the rotation of the pump. It is the redirection of
the fluid that enables the torque converter to
multiply the input torque.
4. Greatest torque multiplication occurs when the
turbine is stalled and the pump is rotating at its
highest speed. Torque multiplication decreases
as the turbine rotates and gains speed.
5. When turbine speed approaches the speed of
the pump, fluid flowing to the stator begins to
strike the backs of the stator vanes. This rotates
the stator in the same direction as the turbine
and pump. At this point, torque multiplication
stops and the converter becomes, in effect, a
fluid coupling.
6. The torque converter accomplishes three functions. It acts as a disconnect clutch, because little torque is transmitted at engine idle speed. It
multiplies torque at low turbine/high pump
speed to give greater starting or driving effort
when needed. It acts as a fluid coupling to efficiently transmit engine torque to the transmission gearing while in a drive range.

VANES CLOSED

25. TORQUE CONVERTER


VARIABLE CAPACITY
a. Description
1. The variable-capacity torque converter stator
can operate in either a closed or open mode
(Figure 22). The stator vanes of the converter
are located on cranks. The cranks fit in a
groove of the stator piston, which is located in
the stator hub. Piston movement changes the
angle of the stator vanes.
2. Converter hydraulic pressure, acting continuously against the front of the stator piston,
keeps the piston pushed rearward. In this position, the stator vanes are held open and full
torque from the engine is directed through the
transmission.
3. When more power is desired at a power takeoff (PTO) located between the engine and
transmission, the operator can activate the
variable-stator control. A regulated hydraulic
pressure, higher than converter pressure, is applied to the rear of the stator piston. This
pushes the piston forward, rotating the stator
vanes clockwise to a nearly closed position.
This action diverts a portion of the engine
power to the power takeoff.

b. Operation
1. The function of the stator control valve is to
control the position of the stator vanes (Figure
23). The valve is actuated by an equipmentfurnished, high-pressure, miniature air cylinder. When air pressure is directed to the air
cylinder, the air cylinder stem moves the valve
plug assembly, and the valve plug moves the
spring-loaded ball valve off its seat. Spring
force at the bottom of the stator control valve
pushes the valve upward, allowing input pump
hydraulic pressure to surround the valve stem
and flow through the diagonal passage to an
area above the valve. The pressure in this area
pushes the valve downward and compresses
the spring proportionately to the amount of
pressure at the top of the valve. When hydraulic pressure and spring force are in balance,
stator control pressure is regulated. The apply

circuit directs the regulated hydraulic pressure


to the cavity behind the stator piston, moving
the piston forward against its stop and closing
the stator vanes.
2. When the high-pressure air is cut off at the
valve plug assembly, the spring-loaded ball
valve returns to its seat and closes an exhaust
circuit. The fluid flowing through the orifice is
then trapped, and the resulting increased pressure acts upon the top of the stator control
valve. The valve moves downward against its
spring. In the downward position, apply pressure is blocked at the valve and pressure at the
stator piston is exhausted through its apply circuit. Converter pressure returns the piston rearward against its stop. This movement rotates
the stator vanes to the open position, and full
torque from the engine is directed through the
transmission.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


26. HYDRAULIC RETARDER
a. Description (Foldout 16,A). Rotor 12 is the only
moving part of the hydraulic retarder. The rotor is
splined to and rotates with turbine shaft 5. The vaned
rotor is enclosed in retarder housing 19. Retarder
housing 19 and torque converter housing 17 (Foldout
11) both include vanes.
b. Operation. The retarder is used to slow the vehicle on curves or on downgrades, with maximum retardation occurring in the lowest range. The retarder rotor
turns continuously at turbine output shaft speed. However, the retarder functions only when the cavity
around the rotor is filled with transmission fluid. A
manual valve directs fluid to fill the cavity when retarder operation is desired. The churning of the fluid
by the rotor resists the rotation of the rotor. Part of this
energy is used to circulate the fluid through a cooler to
dissipate the heat generated. When the control valve is
released, the retarder cavity is evacuated.

27. POWER TAKEOFF (PTO) DRIVES


a. Description (Foldout 11)
1. Items 4 through 9 provide for a power takeoff
drive at the top of the torque converter housing.
2. When no top power takeoff is used, Items 12
through 15 cover the top opening in the converter housing.
3. A machined pad for a power takeoff is provided at the lower-right side of the torque converter housing. When no power takeoff is
mounted in this position, Items 30 through 33
are used.
4. The power takeoff pads, at the top and right
side of the torque converter housing, are eightbolt, heavy-duty SAE mountings.
b. Operation
1. A top-mounted power takeoff gear meshes
with idler gear 7 (Foldout 11). Idler gear 7 is
driven by accessory drive gear 23 (Foldout
9,B) or 48 (Foldout 10).

2. A side-mounted power takeoff gear meshes


with pump drive gear 92 (Foldout 11). Drive
gear 92 is driven by idler gear 88 which, in
turn, is driven by accessory drive gear 23
(Foldout 9,B) or 48 (Foldout 10).
3. Idler gear 7 (Foldout 11) on top-mounted
power takeoff drives rotates at 1.21 times engine speed, in the opposite direction from the
engine output. Gear 88 on side-mounted power
takeoff drives rotates at 1.00 times engine
speed and in the direction of the engine output.

S 5600 Series models, the splitter-high clutch
includes: backplate 16 (Foldout 17,B), three
external-splined clutch plates 18, three internal-splined clutch plates 17, clutch anchor 19,
piston 22, and piston housing 26.
6. In M 6600 and S 6600 Series models, the splitter-high clutch includes: backplate 1 (Foldout
18,B), four external-splined clutch plates 8,
four internal-splined clutch plates 7, clutch anchor 5, piston 16, and piston housing 18.

5600, 5800, 5900, 6000, 6600 SERIES TRANSMISSIONS


7. In CL(B)T models, the splitter planetary includes: carrier assembly 1 (Foldout 17,B), ring
gear 11, and hub 13.
8. In M 6600 and S 6600 Series models, the splitter planetary includes: carrier assembly 19
(Foldout 18,B), ring gear 29, and hub 31.
b. Operation
1. The two splitter clutches and one splitter planetary are interconnected to provide either direct drive (splitter-low 1.00:1 ratio), or
overdrive (splitter-high 0.67:1 ratio) between the torque converter turbine and the
transmission range gearing.
2. When the splitter-low clutch is engaged, the
splitter planetary sun gear and carrier are locked
together. This causes ring gear 11 (Foldout
17,B) or 29 (Foldout 18,B) and splitter shaft assembly 2 (Foldout 26,A) to be driven at the
same speed as the torque converter turbine. This
is direct drive, which occurs in first-, third-, and
fifth-range, and Reverse-1 operation.
3. When the splitter-high clutch is engaged, splitter sun gear 22 (Foldout 17,A) or 12 (Foldout
18,B) is held stationary, while carrier assembly
1 (Foldout 17,B) or 19 (Foldout 18,B) rotates
around the sun gear. This overdrives ring gear
11 (Foldout 17,B) or 29 (Foldout 18,B), hub 13
(Foldout 17,B) or 31 (Foldout 18,B), and splitter shaft assembly 2 (Foldout 26,A). Overdrive
occurs in second-, fourth-, and sixth-range, and
Reverse-2 operation.

29. HIGH-RANGE CLUTCH (FIFTH


AND SIXTH RANGE)

b. Operation
1. When the high-range clutch is applied, piston
assembly 7 (Foldout 19,B) compresses clutch
plates 12 and 13 against backplate 14. This
locks clutch drum assembly 2 to intermediaterange ring gear 14, 20, 27, or 28 (Foldout 25).
Because clutch drum assembly 2 (Foldout 19,B)
and intermediate-range sun gear 1 (Foldout 25)
are both splined to splitter shaft assembly 2
(Foldout 26,A), the intermediate-range and lowrange systems are locked together and must rotate at the same speed as the splitter shaft.
2. When the splitter-low clutch is engaged while
the high-range clutch is also engaged, the
transmission output shaft rotates at the same
speed as the torque converter turbine (direct
drive 1.00:1 ratio). This is fifth range.
3. When the splitter-high clutch is engaged while
the high-range clutch is also engaged, the
overdrive ratio (0.67:1) produced in the splitter planetary is transmitted to the low-range
planetary ring gear. Turbine speed is transmitted through the splitter shaft to the low-range
planetary. The splitter and low-range planetary
sets are then compounded. This results in the
transmission output being driven at a higher
speed than the torque converter turbine. This is
sixth range.

210. INTERMEDIATE-RANGE
CLUTCH, PLANETARY (THIRD
AND FOURTH RANGE)
a. Description

a. Description
1. The high-range clutch includes: clutch drum
assembly 2 (Foldout 19,B), piston assembly 7,
two external-splined plates 13, three internalsplined plates 12, and backplate 14.

26

2. The high-range clutch does not directly control


any gearing. The clutch transmits the rotation
of splitter shaft assembly 2 (Foldout 26,A) to
intermediate-range ring gear 14, 20, 27, or 28
(Foldout 25) at a 1.00:1 ratio.

1. The intermediate-range clutch includes: backplate 16 (Foldout 25) (5000 Series models
only), anchor 18 or 22, internal-splined plates
29, external-splined plates 30, piston 32, and
piston housing assembly 34.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


2. Anchor 18 or 22 is stationary. Clutch plates 30
are splined to the anchor. Clutch plates 29 are
splined to intermediate-range ring gear 14, 20,
27, or 28.

211. LOW-RANGE CLUTCH,


PLANETARY (FIRST AND SECOND
RANGE)
a. Description

3. The intermediate-range planetary includes: sun


gear 1, carrier assembly 2 or 25, and ring gear
14, 20, 27, or 28. Sun gear 1 is splined to splitter shaft assembly 2 (Foldout 26,A). Carrier assembly 2 or 25 (Foldout 25) is splined to lowrange ring gear 22 (Foldout 26,A). Intermediate-range ring gear 14, 20, 27, or 28 (Foldout
25) is splined to high-range clutch plates 12
(Foldout 19,B) and to intermediate-range
clutch plates 29 (Foldout 25).
b. Operation
1. When the intermediate-range clutch is applied,
piston 32 (Foldout 25) compresses clutch plates
29 and 30 against anchor 18 or 22. This holds
ring gear 14, 20, 27, or 28 stationary.

1. The low-range clutch includes: anchor 23


(Foldout 26,A), four (CL(B)T models) or five
(6600 Series models) internal-splined plates
26, four (CL(B)T models) or five (6600 Series
models) external-splined plates 27, piston 29,
and piston housing assembly 31. The lowrange clutch plates compress against intermediate-range clutch piston housing assembly 34
(Foldout 25).
2. The low-range planetary includes a sun gear
that is integral with splitter shaft assembly 2
(Foldout 26,A), carrier assembly 11, and lowrange ring gear 22.
b. Operation

2. Driven by sun gear 1, carrier assembly 2 or 25


rotates within stationary ring gear 14, 20, 27,
or 28 and drives low-range ring gear 22 (Foldout 26,A) at reduced speed. In the low-range
planetary, a further reduction in speed occurs
because its ring gear is rotating slower than its
sun gear (splitter shaft).
3. In third range, the splitter-low clutch is applied. The intermediate-range sun gear and the
low-range sun gear (splitter shaft) rotate at
equal speeds (at turbine speed). Speed reduction is accomplished in the two planetaries as
explained in Paragraph 210b(2). The reduction ratio is 2.01:1.
4. In fourth range, the splitter-high clutch is applied, resulting in a speed increase of the intermediate-range sun gear. The same reduction
occurs in the two compounded planetaries as
explained in Paragraph 210b(2), but the resulting speed is higher because of the higher
speed of the intermediate-range sun gear. The
reduction ratio is 1.35:1.

1. When the low-range clutch is applied, piston


29 (Foldout 26,A) compresses plates 26 and 27
against housing assembly 34 (Foldout 25) and
holds ring gear 22 (Foldout 26,A) stationary.
2. Driven by splitter shaft assembly 2, carrier assembly 11 rotates at reduced speed within stationary ring gear 22.
3. In first range, the splitter-low clutch is applied.
The low-range sun gear (splitter shaft) is rotating at turbine speed and drives planetary carrier assembly 11 at reduced speed. This
produces a ratio of 4.00:1.
4. In second range, the splitter-high clutch is applied resulting in a speed increase of the lowrange sun gear (splitter shaft). The same reduction occurs as explained in 211b(1) and (2),
but the resulting speed is higher because of the
higher speed of the low-range sun gear. The reduction ratio is 2.68:1.

212. REVERSE CLUTCH, PLANETARY
a. Description
1. The reverse clutch includes: anchor 15 (Foldout 26,B), five internal-splined clutch plates
18, five external-splined clutch plates 19, and
piston 20. Plates 18 and 19 compress against
piston housing assembly 31 (Foldout 26,A).
Piston 20 (Foldout 26,B) uses the transmission
rear cover assembly or dropbox housing as its
piston housing.
2. The reverse planetary includes: sun gear 1
(Foldout 26,B), reverse ring gear 5, and carrier assembly 6.
b. Operation
1. When the reverse clutch is applied, piston 20
(Foldout 26,B) compresses plates 18 and 19
against low-range piston housing assembly 31
(Foldout 26,A). This holds ring gear 5 (Foldout
26,B) stationary. Reverse sun gear 1 is attached
to low-range ring gear 22 (Foldout 26,A). The
low-range and reverse planetaries are compounded to provide reverse rotation in the lowrange planetary, and further speed reduction in
the reverse planetary.
2. Low-range sun gear assembly 2 drives the pinions of carrier assembly 11. The pinions, in
turn, drive ring gear 22 in a reverse direction.
Ring gear 22, being splined to reverse sun gear
1 (Foldout 26,B), drives carrier assembly 6 in
the reverse direction within stationary ring gear
5.
3. Reverse carrier assembly 6 is splined to the
transmission output shaft and drives it in the
reverse direction also. All of the transmission
torque is carried by the transmission main shaft
assembly.
4. For models with a single reverse or with
Reverse-1, the splitter-low clutch is engaged in
Reverse (or Reverse-1), but does not multiply
torque. The reverse reduction ratio is 5.12:1.
5. For models with Reverse-2, application of the
splitter-high clutch while in Reverse-2 range
results in a speed increase of the low-range sun

28

gear (splitter shaft). The same reduction occurs


as explained in Paragraph 212b(1), (2), and
(3), but the resulting speed is higher because of
the higher speed of the low-range sun gear. The
reduction ratio is 3.46:1.

213. SPEEDOMETER DRIVE


(Some Vehicle Models)
a. Description
1. On dropbox models, the speedometer drive includes: speedometer drive plug 52 (Foldout
29), 49 (Foldout 30), or 69 (Foldout 31),
speedometer drive shaft 82 (Foldout 29), 95
(Foldout 30), or 88 (Foldout 31), and drive
sleeve assembly 85 (Foldout 29), 98 (Foldout
30), or 91 (Foldout 31).
2. On straight-through models, the speedometer
drive includes: speedometer drive gear 10 or
13 (Foldout 28), bushing 6, speedometer drive
shaft and gear 37, and sleeve assembly 40.
b. Operation
1. On dropbox models, the speedometer drive
plug fits into the output idler gear. The plug
drives the speedometer drive shaft at output
shaft speed (1:1 ratio).
2. On straight-through models, drive gear 10 or 13
(Foldout 28) drives speedometer drive shaft and
gear 37 at one-half output shaft speed (0.50:1
ratio).

214. PARKING BRAKE


(Some Vehicle Models)
a. Description
1. The parking brake is two-shoe, internal-expanding, and mechanically operated.
2. Components of the brake assembly are shown
on Foldout 32. Brake assembly 5 is bolted to
bearing retainer 20 (Foldout 28), bearing retainer 76 (Foldout 29), or bearing retainer 82
(Foldout 31). Brake drum 25 or 26 (Foldout
32) is bolted to flange 21 or 22, which is
splined to the transmission output shaft.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


b. Operation
1. A lever is connected by linkage to brake-apply
lever 3 (Foldout 32). When the brake is applied, the brake-apply lever rotates and expands shoes 18 against the inner surface of
brake drum 25 or 26. When the lever is released, springs 17 retract the shoes.
2. For adjustment of the parking brake, refer to
Paragraph 315.

215. PAN, STRAINER


a. Description
1. The straight-through configuration includes pan
assembly 2 or 20 (Foldout 24,A) and strainer assembly 6. The pan is bolted to the lower opening
of the transmission main housing.
2. The dropbox configuration includes strainer
assembly 37 (Foldout 29), 34 (Foldout 30), or
53 (Foldout 31) and cover 4 or 7 (Foldout
24,B), which returns the transmission fluid
through drain hose(s) 6 to the sump in the
transfer gear housing. The cover is bolted to
the lower opening of the transmission main
housing.
b. Operation. All transmission fluid returns to the
sump and is drawn by the pump through the strainer
assembly before delivery to the hydraulic system. Debris which may be in the sump is separated from the
fluid by the strainer. A magnet inside the strainer helps
to collect the debris.

216. INPUT PRESSURE AND


SCAVENGE PUMP
a. Description
1. The pump has two two-gear sections within
common assembly 10 (Foldout 12). The pressure section has one inlet and one outlet port.
The scavenge section has one inlet and one
outlet port.

2. The pump is driven by coupling 32, which is


splined to gear 23. Various external tubes and
internal passages direct the hydraulic flow to
and from the pump.
b. Operation
1. When the equipment engine is running, the
pressure section draws fluid from the transmission sump (the pan in a straight-through configuration, or the transfer gear housing in a
dropbox configuration). The outlet from the
pressure section directs fluid to the hydraulic
system (refer to Foldout 5, 6, or 7).
2. The scavenge section of the pump draws excess fluid that drains to the bottom of the
torque converter housing and returns it to the
transmission sump. Screen 30 (Foldout 12)
prevents debris from entering the suction side
of the scavenge pump.

217. HOUSING, COVERS


a. Front Cover (Remote Mount Models). Converter
housing front cover 10 (Foldout 8,A) encloses the
transmission front end and provides support for ball
bearing 12. Cover 10 is bolted to the front flange of the
torque converter housing.
b. Torque Converter Housing. Torque converter
housing 17 (Foldout 11) provides an enclosure for the
torque converter, power takeoff (PTO) gearing, and
pump gearing. It provides mountings for the pump,
PTOs, and the lockup shift valve (or cover). The front
flange provides a means to support the front of the
transmission. The rear of the housing provides vanes
for use with the hydraulic retarder rotor.
c. Main Housing. Housing 11 (Foldout 19,A) is the
main structural member of the transmission. It houses
the splitter and range gearing and clutches. The front
surface provides a mounting surface for the torque
converter housing or retarder housing. The rear surface
provides a mounting surface for the rear cover assembly or dropbox housing. The lower surface provides a
mounting surface for the pan or drain cover. The right
side provides a mounting surface for the main control
valve components.

(All Models)

d. Lockup Clutch Shift Valve


NOTE:

NOTE:
References to up, down, left, or right refer to positions or movements of components on Foldout 5, 6,
or 7.

For models with non-electric lockup, proceed with

a. System Functions. The hydraulic system generates, directs, and controls the pressure and flow of hydraulic fluid within the transmission. Hydraulic fluid
(transmission oil) is the power transmitting medium in
the torque converter. Its velocity drives the converter
turbine. Its flow cools and lubricates the transmission.
Its pressure operates the control valves and applies the
clutches.

1. For models with non-electric lockup, the hydraulically-actuated lockup clutch shift valve is
controlled by pitot pressure to engage the
lockup clutch as a function of torque converter
turbine speed.

b. System Schematics (Foldout 5, 6, or 7). Colorcoded foldouts of the hydraulic systems are presented at
the back of this manual. The illustrations represent each
system as it functions in neutral with the engine idling.
c. Filter, Main-Pressure Regulator Valve
1. The transmission fluid passes through disposable cartridge filter elements. The filters are arranged for full-flow operation.
2. For earlier models, when filter elements are
badly clogged and the transmission hydraulic
pressure differential (P) in the filter base is 20
psi (138 kPa), filter bypass valve 47 (Foldout 13)
opens and allows the transmission fluid to bypass the filter elements.
3. For later models, when the high efficiency filter
elements are starting to clog and the transmission hydraulic pressure differential (P) in the
filter base is 35 psi (240 kPa), an OEM-supplied
and installed signal light in the cab may be activated by a differential pressure (P) switch. At
50 psi (345 kPa), the filter bypass valve in the
filter base will open and allow the transmission
fluid to bypass the filter elements.
4. Main pressure in the hydraulic circuit is regulated by a spring-loaded, spool valve 7 (Foldout
13, 14,A, or 14,B), located in main-pressure
regulator valve body 6. Its movement opens or
closes ports, determining the volume of hydraulic flow and main pressure for various requirements. Function and movement are fully
automatic. Refer to Paragraph 311b to check
and adjust main pressure.
210

Step (1).
For models with electric lockup, proceed to Step (4).

2. Flow of transmission fluid to and from the


lockup clutch piston cavity is controlled by the
lockup clutch shift valve. Movement of this
spool valve in its bore opens or closes ports,
determining whether the lockup clutch is engaged or disengaged. This valve is located in
lockup valve body 7 (Foldout 15,B). Operation
of the hydraulically-actuated lockup valve occurs as a result of pitot-driven hydraulic pressure acting on lockup shift valve 8 at high
turbine shaft speeds.
3. Lockup operation occurs either in all ranges
(refer to Foldout 5 or 6) or in all ranges except
neutral, first, and reverse. This is accomplished
by using different lockup valve body assemblies. To prevent lockup in neutral, first, and reverse, a lockup valve body is used which directs
hydraulic pressure to the spring end of the
lockup shift valve, preventing the movement of
the lockup clutch valve in its bore during operation in those ranges. Proceed to Paragraph 2
18e.
4. For models with electric lockup, operation of
the electrically-actuated lockup valve is a result
of main pressure acting on lockup clutch shift
valve 9 (Foldout 15,A). The ECU senses output
shaft speed and energizes the lockup solenoid.
This vents main pressure from the spring-loaded
end of the lockup clutch shift valve (refer to
Foldout 7). Main pressure, acting on the other
end of the valve, overcomes the force of the
spring and moves the valve upward in its bore.
This allows main pressure to be applied to the
lockup clutch piston cavity to engage the lockup
clutch. Lockup operation occurs in all ranges.
Proceed to Paragraph 218g or h.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


e. Flow (Lockup Cutoff) Valve (Models With NonElectric Lockup). Flow valve 16, located in lockup
valve body 7 (Foldout 15,B), works in conjunction
with the lockup clutch shift valve. This spool valve
momentarily interrupts the flow of main pressure to
the lockup clutch when shifts occur from one range to
another. When a shift (other than to neutral) occurs, a
rapid flow of fluid is required to engage different
clutches. This fluid must pass through the flow valve
bore. During the initial part of this flow, the valve
moves upward, cutting off main pressure to the lockup
clutch and exhausting the lockup clutch circuit. When
the oncoming clutch is filled, the valve returns downward and restores pressure to the lockup clutch circuit.
This enables the torque converter to cushion fullpower shifts.
f. Check Valve (Models With Non-Electric Lockup).
Orificed check valve 18 (Foldout 15,B) is located in
lockup valve body 7. During shifts, valve 18 permits the
rapid exhaust of fluid from the top of flow valve 16, and
a gradual return of fluid through the orifice.
g. Hydraulic Retarder Valve
(Models With Retarder)
1. Hydraulic retarder control valve body assembly 6 or 20 (Foldout 16,B) is located at the leftfront side of the transmission. This valve body
assembly is mounted vertically. It is connected
by linkage with an operator-controlled hand lever or foot pedal.
2. The retarder is applied when the spool valve is
pushed downward in the body and released
when the valve is pulled upward (Foldout 5 or
6). Transmission fluid supply for the retarder,
having passed through the torque converter to
the cooler (heat exchanger), is directed to the
retarder when retarder operation is activated.
Fluid flow from the retarder is cooled by the
heat exchanger.
h. Converter Pressure Relief Valve (All Models).
The converter pressure relief valve is located in the
main transmission housing. The function of this valve
is to limit converter-in hydraulic pressure to a maximum of 80 psi (552 kPa). The valve protects the torque
converter from excessive hydraulic pressure (such as
during cold starts) by dumping the excess fluid directly to the sump. Refer to Items 1 through 4 (Foldout
19,A).

i. Converter Pressure Regulator Valve (Models


With Retarder). The converter pressure regulator valve
is located in the main transmission housing. The valve
works against spring force and exhausts to the sump
any transmission fluid with pressure in excess of 22.5
psi (155 kPa) coming from the torque converter,
through the cooler. The valve regulates converter hydraulic pressure, plus any restriction in the cooler and
converter-out circuit. Refer to Items 23 through 26
(Foldout 19,A).
j. Lubrication Pressure Regulator Valve (Models
Without Retarder). The lubrication pressure regulator
valve is located in the converter housing. The valve
regulates lubrication pressure at 2025 psi (138172
kPa), allowing excess transmission fluid to flow to the
sump. Refer to Items 67 through 74 (Foldout 11).
k. Converter-In Check Valve (Models With Retarder). A check valve is located in the torque converter housing. This valve does not allow converter-in
hydraulic pressure to drop below 20.5 psi (141 kPa).
Hydraulic pressure on one side of the valve, regulated
at 22.5 psi (155 kPa) by the converter pressure regulator valve, is opposed by converter-in hydraulic pressure and a valve spring on the other side with a cumulative result of an increase of 2 psi (14 kPa). If
converter-in pressure should drop below 20.5 psi (141
kPa), transmission fluid from the cooler, regulated at
22.5 psi (155 kPa) by the converter regulator valve,
opens the valve and maintains a minimum converter-in
hydraulic pressure of 20.5 psi (141 kPa). Transmission
fluid is allowed to recirculate to the converter from the
cooler, and the system is referred to as an auto-flow
hydraulic circuit. Refer to Items 77 through 85 (Foldout 11).

5600, 5800, 5900, 6000, 6600 SERIES TRANSMISSIONS


a. Manual Selector Valve
1. Manual selector valve 34 (Foldout 20) is a
spool valve located in the control valve body
at the right side of the transmission. The selector valve is operated manually and connected
by linkage to the shift selector. Its movement
determines the range in which the equipment
operates. Each range position on the shift selector positions the selector valve. This valve
then directs transmission fluid to the selected
range clutches, and exhausts all other clutches.
Spring-loaded steel balls locate the selector
valve accurately in each shift position and restrain valve movement until the valve is manually shifted.
2. The selector valve has eight positions which
provide neutral, six forward speeds, and one
reverse speed. In addition to directing fluid to
the range clutches, the valve directs fluid to the
splitter clutches, neutral and intermediate trimmer valves, and to the lockup shift valve and
flow valve.

the trimmer lower valve reaches the stop, the


trimmer springs move the trimmer upper valve
back, closing the exhaust port, and allowing
main pressure to return to maximum pressure.
c. Intermediate-Range Trimmer Valve
1. The intermediate-range trimmer valve assembly
consists of trimmer lower valve 21 (Foldout 20),
trimmer upper valve 18, and springs 16, 17, 19,
and 20 in a common bore.
2. This trimmer functions only during application
of the intermediate-range clutch. It provides an
initial reduction of pressure to the clutch during application, followed by a rise in pressure
to equal main pressure. The valve provides a
smooth and gradual application of the clutch.

220. MANUAL-HYDRAULIC CONTROL


SYSTEM CIRCUITS
(Foldout 5)

b. Neutral Trimmer Valve


1. The neutral trimmer valve assembly (Foldout
5) consists of trimmer upper valve 45 (Foldout
20), trimmer lower valve 42, and springs 41,
43, and 44, located in a common bore. The
neutral trimmer valve reduces main hydraulic
pressure momentarily when shifting from neutral to reverse, or to any forward range, ensuring a smooth and positive clutch apply.
2. Main pressure is present at the neutral trimmer
valve in all ranges (Foldout 5). Neutral signal
pressure is present at the lower valve in neutral
only. When a shift is made from neutral, neutral signal pressure fluid is exhausted, allowing
main pressure to move the trimmer upper
valve. This exhausts part of the clutch-apply
fluid to sump, and main pressure is reduced for
range clutch application.
3. As clutch-apply fluid is escaping to the sump,
it also flows through an orifice in the neutral
trimmer upper valve to the area between the
upper valve and the lower valve, moving the
lower valve downward. The neutral trimmer
upper valve is now hydraulically stable. When

For manual-hydraulic control system functions, refer to Paragraph 218a.
For manual-hydraulic control system schematics,
refer to Paragraph 218b.
a. Neutral (Foldout 5)
1. The manual selector valve is in neutral, the
equipment engine is idling, and the transmission fluid temperature is normal at 180200F
(8293C). The input pump, driven when the
engine is operating, picks up transmission fluid
from the sump and pumps it into the hydraulic
system.
2. The transmission fluid flows through the filters
to the main-pressure regulator valve. From the
regulator valve, the fluid flows to the lockup
shift valve and the flow valve. Fluid at the
lockup shift valve is stopped at the valve. At
the flow valve, fluid must flow through an orifice. If the circuit beyond the valve requires

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


fluid, the fluid moves the valve, bypassing the
orifice, and flows unrestricted through the flow
valve. When the flow valve moves, fluid at the
larger diameter end of the valve unseats the
check valve and enters the main hydraulic circuit (red) beyond the flow valve.
3. Continuing to the manual selector valve, the
fluid fills the larger drilled passage of the selector valve and the lateral passages connected to
the lengthwise drilled passage.
4. In neutral, the manual selector valve directs
fluid to three places: the neutral trimmer upper valve, the neutral trimmer lower valve,
and the splitter-low clutch cavity. Main pressure fluid at the trimmer upper valve flows
through the orifice in the trimmer upper valve
to the area between the upper valve and the
trimmer lower valve.
5. As hydraulic pressure increases in the circuit,
several actions occur simultaneously. The splitter-low clutch is applied. Pressure equalizes in
the main pressure circuit at both sides of the
flow valve and seats the check valve at the upper end. Fluid begins flowing through the orifice in the check valve. This flow, acting on the
upper end of the flow valve, moves the valve
downward. The valve moves downward to the
limit of its travel and remains in that position
until a shift is made to another range. At that
time, the movement of the flow valve opens
ports which exhaust the lockup clutch apply
pressure and place the transmission in torque
converter operation during the shift.
6. No action of the neutral trimmer upper valve or
lower valve has occurred as a result of the increase in hydraulic pressure in the main-pressure
circuit.
7. When the main-pressure circuit is charged, hydraulic pressure builds up in the circuit until a
pressure is reached that acts upon the mainpressure regulator valve and regulates the fluid
in the main-pressure circuit. Fluid flowing into
a lateral drilled passage of the main-pressure
regulator valve flows into a central passage,
unseats a spring-loaded ball check valve, and
flows out of the valve through a second lateral
passage. Fluid leaves the valve between a land
on the valve and the valve body. Pressure,

building up at this point, moves the regulator


valve toward the plug (left) against spring
force. When it moves sufficiently to uncover
the port that supplies the torque converter with
fluid, all fluid in excess of other demands flows
to the torque converter, charging it. Fluid flowing to the converter is limited to a maximum of
80 psi (552 kPa) by the converter pressure relief valve.
8. On transmissions equipped with a hydraulic
retarder, the circuit which supplies fluid to the
converter also supplies fluid through an orifice to the lubrication circuit and through another orifice to the fluid velocity governor
(pitot). On transmissions not equipped with a
retarder, the fluid velocity governor (pitot) is
supplied from the converter-out circuit
through an orifice. The lubrication system is
supplied from the lubrication regulator valve
in the cooler return line. Any fluid in excess
of 2025 psi (138172 kPa) at the lubrication
valve is exhausted to the sump.
9. On transmissions equipped with a hydraulic retarder, converter-out fluid flows to the retarder
control valve as well as through the cooler.
Transmission fluid from the cooler flows
through the retarder control valve to both the
converter-in check valve and converter pressure regulator valve.
10. In neutral, the hydraulic pressure in the pitot
circuit is proportional to the speed of the rotation of the fluid collector ring which is attached
to the splitter-low clutch housing. At idle, this
pressure exerts negligible force at the lower
end of the lockup shift valve.
11. As turbine speed increases, the increase of pitot
pressure at the bottom of the lockup shift valve
moves the valve against spring force at the top
end. Movement of the valve allows main pressure fluid to flow to the flow valve, and through
the flow valve to the lockup clutch, applying the
clutch. The transmission is now operating in
neutral, in splitter-low lockup.
12. If the transmission is operating in lockup when
an upshift or downshift is made, the action of
the flow valve momentarily disengages the
lockup clutch until the shift is completed.

b. First Range (Foldout 5). In first range, the hydraulic action is the same as described for neutral
(Paragraph 220a) except as follows:
1. The neutral trimmer valve functions to assure a
smooth and gradual application of the lowrange clutch.
2. The low-range and splitter-low circuits are
charged and those clutches are applied. Fluid
in the neutral signal circuit is exhausted to the
sump.
3. As in neutral, with an increase in turbine
speed, the lockup circuit is charged and the
lockup clutch is applied. The transmission is
now operating in first-range lockup.
4. For some models with a special lockup valve
body, lockup does not occur in first range.

the sump. The neutral signal circuit is not


charged.
2. When an upshift is made to third range or a
downshift made to fourth range, the intermediate-range trimmer valve functions for the application of the intermediate-range clutch. The
orifice in the intermediate-range clutch-apply
circuit prevents the intermediate-range clutch
from disengaging quickly. When a shift is
made to a range other than third or fourth, that
range clutch is partially applied before the intermediate-range clutch is fully disengaged, reducing shift shock and maintaining continuous
torque output during the shift.
3. As in neutral, with an increase in pitot pressure, the lockup clutch is applied and the transmission operates in third-range lockup.

c. Second Range (Foldout 5). In second range, the


hydraulic action is the same as described for neutral
(Paragraph 220a) except as follows:

4. As in first and second ranges, when operating


in lockup, a shift to another range disengages
the lockup clutch momentarily until the shift is
made.

1. The low-range and splitter-high circuits are


charged and those clutches are applied. All
other clutch circuits are exhausted to the sump.
The neutral signal circuit is not charged.

e. Fourth Range (Foldout 5). In fourth range, the


hydraulic action is the same as in neutral (Paragraph
220a) except as follows:

2. As in neutral, with an increase in turbine


speed, the lockup clutch is applied, allowing
the transmission to operate in second-range
lockup.

1. The intermediate-range and splitter-high circuits are charged and those clutches are applied. All other clutch circuits are exhausted to
the sump. The neutral signal circuit is not
charged.

3. When an upshift is made to third range, the intermediate-range trimmer valve functions for
the application of the intermediate-range
clutch. If the transmission is operating in
lockup when an upshift or downshift is made,
the action of the flow valve momentarily disengages the lockup clutch until the shift is
completed.

2. When an upshift is made to fourth range, or a


downshift made to third range, the only hydraulic action occurring at the selector valve is
the directing of transmission fluid to the splitter-low or splitter-high clutch. The intermediate-range clutch is applied when operating in
either range.

d. Third Range (Foldout 5). In third range, the hydraulic action is the same as described for neutral
(Paragraph 220a) except as follows:

3. As in neutral, with an increase in pitot pressure, the lockup clutch is applied and the transmission operates in fourth-range lockup.

1. The intermediate-range and splitter-low circuits are charged and those clutches are applied. All other clutch circuits are exhausted to

f. Fifth Range (Foldout 5). In fifth range, the hydraulic action is the same as in neutral (Paragraph 220a) except as follows:

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


1. The high-range and splitter-low circuits are
charged and those clutches are applied. All
other clutch circuits are exhausted to the sump.
The neutral signal circuit is not charged.

221. MANUAL-ELECTRIC CONTROL


HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
(Foldout 6)

2. As in neutral, with an increase in pitot pressure, the lockup clutch is applied, and the
transmission operates in fifth-range lockup.

NOTE:
References to up, down, left, or right refer to
positions or movements of components on Foldout 6.
Refer to Paragraph 218 for components common to all models.

g. Sixth Range (Foldout 5). In sixth range, the hydraulic action is the same as in neutral (Paragraph 220a) except as follows:
1. The high-range and splitter-high circuits are
charged and those clutches are applied. All
other clutch cavities are exhausted to the sump.
The neutral signal circuit is not charged.
2. When an upshift is made to sixth range or a
downshift is made to fifth range, the only hydraulic action occurring at the selector valve is
the directing of transmission fluid to the splitterlow or splitter-high clutch. The high-range
clutch is applied when operating in either range.
3. As in neutral, with an increase in pitot pressure, the lockup clutch is applied, and the
transmission operates in sixth-range lockup.
h. Reverse (Foldout 5). In reverse, the hydraulic action is the same as in neutral (Paragraph 220a) except
as follows:
1. The neutral trimmer valve functions to assure a
smooth and gradual application of the reverse
clutch. The reverse and splitter-low circuits are
charged and those clutches are applied. Fluid
in the neutral signal circuit is exhausted to the
sump. All other clutch cavities are exhausted to
the sump.

a. Reverse Shift Valve


1. A spring pushes the reverse shift valve upward
when Solenoid B is energized. Hydraulic pressure pushes the valve downward when Solenoid B is de-energized and the solenoid check
ball seats.
2. In its upward position, this spool valve directs
hydraulic pressure to the reverse clutch. With
the valve in its downward position, the reverse
clutch is exhausted.
b. Low-Range Shift Valve
1. A spring pushes the low-range shift valve upward when Solenoid C is energized. Hydraulic
pressure pushes the valve downward when Solenoid C is de-energized and the solenoid
check ball seats.
2. In its upward position, this spool valve directs
hydraulic pressure to the low-range clutch.
With the valve in its downward position, the
low-range clutch is exhausted.
c. Intermediate-Range Shift Valve

2. As in neutral, with an increase in turbine


speed, the lockup circuit is charged and the
lockup clutch is applied. The transmission operates in reverse lockup.

1. A spring pushes the intermediate-range shift


valve upward when Solenoid D is energized.
Hydraulic pressure pushes the valve downward
when Solenoid D is de-energized and the solenoid check ball seats.

3. For some models with a special lockup valve


body, lockup does not occur in reverse.

2. In its upward position, this spool valve directs


hydraulic pressure to the intermediate-range

clutch. With the valve in its downward position,
the intermediate-range clutch is exhausted.
d. High-Range Shift Valve
1. A spring pushes the high-range shift valve upward when Solenoid E is energized. Hydraulic
pressure pushes the valve downward when Solenoid E is de-energized and the solenoid
check ball seats.
2. In its upward position, this spool valve directs
hydraulic pressure to the high-range clutch. In
its downward position, the high-range clutch is
exhausted.

shift valve, which opens when Solenoid F is


energized.
3. When the priority valve is fully upward, main
pressure is exerted on its lower end as well as
on its step area. The valve cannot move downward until main pressure falls below that required to raise it initially.
g. Splitter Shift Valve
1. A spring pushes the splitter shift valve upward
when Solenoid F is energized. Hydraulic pressure pushes the valve downward when Solenoid F is de-energized, and the solenoid check
ball seats.

e. Solenoid Pressure Regulator Valve


1. Spring force pushes downward on the solenoid
pressure regulator valve, allowing main pressure to flow into the area at the middle of the
valve, to the upper ends of the shift valves, and
through an orifice to the lower end of the valve.
2. When main pressure at the lower end of this
spool valve exceeds the force of the valve
spring, main pressure is blocked, preventing
solenoid pressure from increasing. When solenoid pressure falls, the valve moves downward,
again admitting main pressure. When a balanced condition is reached (solenoid pressure
equals spring force), a uniform hydraulic pressure, lower than main pressure, is established.
f. Priority Valve
1. The priority valve gives main pressure priority
to the solenoid-pressure regulator valve when
the equipment engine is first started. This is
necessary to ensure that the shift valves are all
positioned downward (in neutral) so that no apply pressure is directed to a drive clutch until a
range is selected.
2. The valve is held downward by spring force
until main pressure, reaching the step on the
valve through an orifice, is sufficient to raise
the valve against its two springs. When the
valve is upward, main pressure enters the bore
at a second point (below the orifice) and flows
to the remainder of the circuit. By the time the
valve is fully upward, main pressure (regulated to a lower pressure in the solenoid pressure regulator valve) has pushed all of the
shift valves downward, except for the splitter
216

2. When this spool valve is upward, hydraulic


pressure is directed to the splitter-low clutch.
When the valve is downward, hydraulic pressure is directed to the splitter-high clutch.
When the splitter-high clutch is applied, the
splitter-low clutch exhausts through the bore of
the splitter-high trimmer. When the splitter-low
clutch is applied, the splitter-high clutch exhausts through the bore of the splitter-low trimmer.
3. For models with lock-in-range, Solenoid G is
de-energized (valve closed) during splitter-low
operation. This retains splitter-low clutch pressure at the bottom of the valve during splitterlow operation. When energized, Solenoid G
provides the means to exhaust splitter-low
pressure at this point when it is desired to shift
to splitter-high operation.
4. For models with lock-in-neutral, Solenoid G is
not present.
h. Protection in the Event of Electrical Interruption
1. The shift valves (except for the splitter shift
valve) are arranged in a cascade system. This
arrangement ensures that only one range clutch
can be applied at a given time, because the apply pressure of each depends upon the released
position of the preceding valve. If two valves
should be in the apply position, only the one
that is first in line can receive apply pressure.
2. For models with lock-in-range, each of the forward operation shift valves directs its clutch
apply pressure to the spring cavity beneath the
valve at the same time the clutch is charged.

Copyright 1997 General Motors Corp.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


This ensures that the valve will remain in its
upward position (clutch applied) even though
the solenoid at the upper end of the valve is deenergized (by electrical interruption). This hydraulic hold can be relieved only by the upward movement of an adjacent shift valve, or
in the case of the low-range shift valve, by energizing Solenoid A. The splitter shift valve, in
splitter-low position, is unlocked by energizing
Solenoid G to exhaust the pressure from beneath the valve. These features are referred to
as lock-in-range, because the operating range
is retained even though an electrical interruption occurs during operation.

CAUTION:
Loss of hydraulic pressure (such as caused by
stopping the engine) relieves all hydraulic holds.
Only neutral will be obtained when the engine is
restarted following an electrical interruption.

3. Models with lock-in-neutral will shift into neutral from any range if an electrical interruption
occurs.
4. For all models, the reverse shift valve will always go to neutral (exhaust position) if an
electrical interruption occurs during reverse
operation.
i. Trimmer System
1. The trimmer system includes four valve groups
in the lower section of the control valve assembly. These are: reverse trimmer, low-range
trimmer, intermediate-range trimmer, and splitter-low trimmer.
2. The functions of the four trimmers are similar.
Each trimmer regulates the application of its
corresponding clutch, preventing shift shock
from abrupt clutch engagement. Each trimmer
initially limits the apply pressure of its clutch,
and then permits full apply pressure. Spring
force returns the valves to operating position.
3. A secondary function of the low-range, intermediate-range, and splitter-low trimmers is a
regulation of the exhaust of preceding clutches.
This prevents both clutch slippage and excessive clutch overlap during shifting.

4. Individual trimmer system valve groups are described in Paragraphs 221j through 221m.
j. Reverse Trimmer
1. The reverse trimmer valve group includes a
valve stop and two springs in the lower end of
the valve bore, a valve near the middle of the
bore, and a spring and valve at the upper end of
the bore. Refer to Items 75 through 80 (Foldout
21). A reverse-clutch pressure passage is connected to the upper end of the bore. An exhaust
port is provided just below the reverse clutch
pressure passage.
2. When the reverse clutch is applied, apply pressure is sent to the top end of the upper valve.
Initially, the upper and lower valves are forced
downward against the springs until transmission fluid escapes at the exhaust port. The escape of fluid, as long as it continues, reduces
clutch-apply pressure. However, fluid flows
through an orifice in the trimmer upper valve
to the cavity between the upper trimmer valve
and the lower trimmer valve. Hydraulic pressure in this cavity forces the lower valve farther downward to the stop. The lower valve
stops, but the flow through the orifice continues. The pressure below the upper trimmer
valve plus the spring force is greater than the
hydraulic pressure acting on the upper end of
the valve. This causes the upper trimmer valve
to move back up. This throttles, then stops, the
escape of fluid through the exhaust port. When
the escape of fluid is throttled, clutch pressure
rises. When the escape of fluid stops, clutch
pressure is maximized. The lower valve remains downward until the clutch is released.
3. Upon release of the clutch, the spring pushes
all the trimmer components to the top of the
valve bore. In this position, the trimmer is reset
and ready for the next clutch application.
k. Low-Range Trimmer
1. The low-range trimmer valve group includes a
valve stop and two springs at the lower end of
the trimmer valve bore, a valve near the middle
of the bore, and a trimmer valve and spring at
the upper end of the bore. Refer to Items 69
through 74 (Foldout 21). A low-range clutch
pressure passage is connected to the upper end

of the bore. An exhaust port is provided just below the low-range clutch pressure passage.

low the splitter exhaust passage and another at


the lower end of the trimmer valve bore.

2. Exhaust passages from the low-range and


high-range shift valve bores connect to the
trimmer bore near the middle of the bore.
These passages, in conjunction with the position of the trimmer lower valve, control the exhaust rates of preceding clutches.

2. The trimming function of the splitter-low trimmer valve is similar to that of the reverse trimmer (Paragraph 221j).

3. The trimming function of the low-range trimmer is similar to that of the reverse trimmer
(Paragraph 221j).
l. Intermediate-Range Trimmer

n. Exhaust Regulator Valve

1. The intermediate-range trimmer valve group includes a valve stop and two springs at the lower
end of the trimmer valve bore, a valve near the
middle of the bore, and a trimmer valve and
spring at the upper end of the bore. Refer to
Items 63 through 68 (Foldout 21). An intermediate-range clutch pressure passage is connected
to the upper end of the bore. An exhaust port is
provided just below the intermediate-range
clutch pressure passage.
2. Exhaust passages from the intermediate-range
shift valve and to the exhaust regulator valve
are provided. These passages, in conjunction
with the position of the trimmer lower valve,
control the exhaust rate of the low-range
clutch.
3. The trimming function of the intermediaterange trimmer is similar to that of the reverse
trimmer (Paragraph 221j).
m. Splitter-Low Trimmer
1. The splitter-low trimmer valve group includes
two springs and a valve stop in the lower end
of the trimmer valve bore, a trimmer lower
valve at the middle of the bore, and a spring
and trimmer upper valve at the upper end of the
valve bore. Refer to Items 53 through 58 (Foldout 21). A splitter-low clutch pressure passage
is connected to the upper end of the trimmer
valve bore. An exhaust port is provided just below the splitter-low clutch pressure passage.
An exhaust passage from the splitter shift valve
bore is connected to the middle of the trimmer
valve bore. An exhaust port is provided just be218

3. A secondary function of the splitter-low trimmer is the regulation of splitter-high clutch exhaust. The position of the splitter-low trimmer
valve, in relation to the exhaust passages near
the middle of the trimmer valve bore, determines the exhaust rate of the splitter-high
clutch exhaust.

1. The exhaust regulator valve group includes a


valve guide pin, a spring, and a mushroomshaped valve. The valve seats in an opening in
the separator plate adjacent to the control valve
body. The spring maintains a slight force to
hold the valve in its seat (closed).
2. The exhaust regulator valve is a common point
through which several exhaust passages lead.
This arrangement provides an exhaust system
which dissipates almost all hydraulic pressure,
but yet retains fluid in the system to enable
quick response.
o. Solenoids
1. For lock-in-range models, the system includes
seven solenoids. These are identified as Solenoids A, B, C, D, E, F, and G in illustrations
and explanations.
2. For lock-in-neutral models, the system includes five solenoids. These are identified as
Solenoids B, C, D, E, and F in illustrations and
explanations.
3. These solenoids are identical components and
are not marked for identification. Electrical
leads which connect to the solenoids are
marked.
4. A solenoid electrically produces a magnetic
pulling force when energized. The magnetic
force lifts a plunger which allows a check ball
in the solenoid to unseat. The unseated check
ball opens a port which bleeds off hydraulic
pressure at the end of the shift valves faster
than the pressure can be sustained by fluid
coming into the area through an orifice. This

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


permits the shift valve spring to push the shift
valve toward the solenoid (or relieves pressure
at the spring end of valve).
5. Solenoids are designed to be actuated by either
12V or 24V. The manual-electric control has
solenoids that match the voltage rating of the
equipment electrical system.
p. Shift Selector Assembly (Foldout 33)
1. The shift selector assembly (shift tower) is
manually operated and has eight selector positions. These are (from rear to front): Reverse,
Neutral, First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth,
and Sixth. The range indicator is correspondingly marked R, N, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Each
shift position is gated, and the selector lever
must be pushed right or left, alternately, to
clear the gate separating each shift position
from the adjoining position.
2. Eight microswitches are operated by a cam attached to the manual selector lever. Each position of the lever opens and closes the switches
required to energize or de-energize the proper
combination of solenoids for that selector position.
3. A solenoid which has its axis on a line with the
axis of the switch-operating cam acts as a
downshift inhibitor. It is energized when the
transmission lockup clutch engages. Lockup
clutch pressure closes the pressure-actuated
switch, which in turn energizes the inhibitor
solenoid. The inhibitor solenoid engages a dog
clutch arrangement which prevents the shift selector lever from being moved to a lower range
position. The shift selector lever may be upshifted.
4. A lamp, which illuminates a translucent shift
guide, is included in the shift selector assembly. It is connected to the equipment dash lamp
circuit. Both 12V and 24V systems use a 12V
lamp. A resistor is in series with the lamp in
24V systems.
q. Wiring Harness
1. A wiring harness connecting the selector assembly to the valve body assembly transmits
the electrical signals that cause the transmission to respond to the movements of the shift
selector.

2. Fourteen wires are in the harness at the point


where it leaves the selector assembly. Six wires
branch off from the harness to attach to various
parts of the circuit. The remaining eight wires
attach to the main control valve body.
3. A sixteen-pin female connector is attached to
the selector end of the wiring harness. An
eight-pin female connector is attached to the
control valve body end of the harness. These
connectors push onto mating connectors on the
selector assembly and valve bodies. A nut at
each connector is tightened to secure the harness ends.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM CIRCUITS
(Foldout 6)
NOTE:
References to up, down, left, or right refer to posi-

tions or movements of components on Foldout 6.


For manual-electric control system functions, refer

to Paragraph 218a.
For manual-electric control system schematics, re-

fer to Paragraph 218b.

a. Neutral
1. The shift selector is in neutral, the equipment
engine is idling, and the transmission fluid temperature is normal at 180200F (8393C). The
input pump, driven when the engine is operating, picks up transmission fluid from the sump
and pumps it into the hydraulic system.
2. The transmission fluid flows through the filters
to the main-pressure regulator valve. From the
regulator valve, the fluid flows to the lockup
shift valve and the flow valve. Fluid at the
lockup shift valve is stopped at the valve. At
the flow valve, fluid must flow through an orifice. If the circuit beyond the valve requires
fluid, then the fluid moves the valve, bypassing
the orifice, and flows unrestricted through the
flow valve. When the flow valve moves, fluid at
the larger diameter end of the valve unseats the

219

5600, 5800, 5900, 6000, 6600 SERIES TRANSMISSIONS


check valve and enters the main hydraulic circuit (red) beyond the flow valve.
3. Even though the action of the flow valve occurs every time there is a significant flow of
fluid through it, the primary purpose of the
flow valve is to disengage the lockup clutch
during an upshift or downshift, automatically
placing the transmission in converter operation. At that time, the movement of the flow
valve opens the ports that exhaust the lockup
clutch and shuts off the fluid supply.
4. Main pressure (red), leaving the flow valve, is
directed to the solenoid pressure regulator
valve and to the priority valve. At the solenoid
pressure regulator valve, a regulated solenoid
pressure (yellow/white) for controlling the
shift valves is produced and directed to each
shift valve. At each shift valve, the fluid must
pass through an orifice. At the priority valve,
fluid passes through an orifice and exerts upward pressure on the step diameter of the
valve. In a parallel branch, fluid flows beneath
the lower end of the priority valve and is directed to the splitter shift valve, two points on
the high-range shift valve, and the low-range
shift valve.
5. At the reverse shift valve, Solenoid B is de-energized and its check ball is seated. This retains
solenoid pressure and the valve is pushed
downward against its spring. The reverse
clutch is exhausted through the spring-loaded
exhaust regulator valve.
6. At the low-range shift valve, Solenoid C is deenergized and its check ball is seated. For models with lock-in-range, Solenoid A is energized
and its check ball is unseated. For models with
lock-in-neutral, Solenoid A is not present. Solenoid pressure at the upper end of the valve
holds the valve downward against its spring.
The low-range clutch is exhausted via the bore
of the intermediate-range shift valve, through
the spring-loaded exhaust regulator valve, and
through the unseated check ball of Solenoid A
(if present).

220

7. At the intermediate-range shift valve, Solenoid


D is de-energized, and its check ball is seated.
Solenoid pressure, retained at the upper end of
the valve, forces the valve downward against
its spring. The intermediate-range clutch is exhausted through the high-range shift valve bore
(valve downward), through the low-range trimmer valve bore, and then through the springloaded exhaust regulator valve.
8. At the high-range shift valve, Solenoid E is deenergized and its check ball is seated. Solenoid
pressure retained at the upper end of the shift
valve forces the valve downward against its
spring. The high-range clutch is exhausted directly through a hole in the separator plate.
9. At the splitter shift valve, Solenoid F is energized and its check ball is unseated. Solenoid
G (if present) is de-energized and its check ball
is seated. No pressure is retained at the upper
end of the valve, and the spring at the lower
end of the valve pushes the valve upward. With
the valve in its upward position, pressure is directed to the splitter-low clutch (red/white) and
applies the clutch. Splitter-low clutch pressure
is also directed to the splitter-low trimmer
valve. The splitter shift valve remains upward
until Solenoid F is de-energized and Solenoid
G (if present) is energized.
b. Protection in the Event of Electrical Interruption While Operating in Neutral
1. Protection in the event of electrical interruption
while operating in neutral, as covered herein,
concerns only the design of the system to provide certain safeguards in the event of interruption of electrical power to the solenoids.
2. If total electrical power is interrupted while
the transmission is operating in neutral, the
transmission will remain in neutral (engine
running) regardless of any position which
might be manually selected after the interruption. Partial electrical interruption (one solenoid loses power) while operating in neutral
will permit the transmission to continue operation in neutral if the selector lever is not
moved. If electrical power to individual Solenoid A (if present) or Solenoid F is interrupted while operating in neutral, erratic

Copyright 1997 General Motors Corp.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


shifting can be expected if other selector positions are selected. Refer to Troubleshooting
(Paragraph 323).
c. Protection in the Event of Electrical Interruption While Operating in Forward Ranges
1. For models with lock-in-range, if electrical
power is interrupted completely during operation in any forward range, the transmission will
continue operation in that range if the equipment engine is not stopped.
2. If the shift selector is moved, that same range
will be maintained in all selector lever positions. If the engine is stopped, the transmission
will go to neutral when the engine is restarted.
3. If electrical power to the individual energized
solenoids is interrupted during operation in any
forward range, the transmission will continue in
that same range until shifted out of that range or
until the engine is stopped. Thereafter, shifting
will be erratic in other selector positions. Refer
to Troubleshooting (Paragraph 323).
4. For models with lock-in-neutral, if electrical
power is interrupted completely during operation in any range, the transmission will shift to
neutral.
d. First-Range Operation
1. When the selector lever is moved from N (Neutral) to 1 (First-range), Solenoid A (if present) is
de-energized and its check ball is seated. Solenoid F remains energized. Solenoid C is energized and its check ball is unseated.
2. When Solenoid A (if present) is de-energized,
no change occurs. Its check ball seats to retain
low-range clutch-apply pressure when the lowrange shift valve moves upward. For models
with lock-in-neutral, Solenoid A is not present.
3. When Solenoid C is energized, its check ball is
unseated and releases solenoid pressure (yellow/
white) from the upper end of the low-range shift
valve. Spring force pushes the shift valve upward. Main pressure to the reverse shift valve is
cut off and reverse clutch-apply pressure is exhausted to the sump.

4. For models with lock-in-range, main pressure


(red) is directed to the low-range clutch and to
the lower end of the shift valve. The lowrange clutch is applied. Pressure at the lower
end of the shift valve is greater than that at the
upper end. If electrical power is interrupted,
the valve remains upward (transmission remains in first range).
5. For models with lock-in-neutral, main pressure
is directed to the low-range clutch and applies
the clutch. If electrical power is interrupted,
solenoid pressure at the top of the valve will
force the valve downward, exhausting the
clutch (transmission shifts to neutral).
6. Solenoid F is energized as it was in neutral operation, and the splitter-low clutch is still applied.
7. When the low-range clutch is initially charged,
the low-range trimmer functions as described
in Paragraph 221k.
8. All other valve components remain in the position they were in during neutral operation.
e. Second-Range Operation
1. When the selector lever is moved from 1 (Firstrange) to 2 (Second-range), Solenoid F is deenergized and Solenoid G (if present) is energized. Solenoid C remains energized.
2. When Solenoid F is de-energized, its check
ball is seated and solenoid pressure (yellow/
white) is exerted on the upper end of the splitter shift valve. This pressure exerts a downward force on the shift valve. When Solenoid
G (if present) is energized and its check ball is
unseated, splitter-low pressure (red/white) is
released from the lower end of the splitter shift
valve. Solenoid pressure pushes the splitter
shift valve downward, the splitter-high clutch
is applied, and the splitter-low clutch is exhausted. Solenoid C remains energized to retain low-range clutch engagement. For models
with lock-in-neutral, Solenoid G is not present.
3. All other valves remain in the position they
were in during first-range operation.

f. Third-Range Operation
1. When the selector lever is moved from 2 (Second-range) to 3 (Third-range), Solenoid G (if
present) and Solenoid C are de-energized and
Solenoids D and F are energized.
2. When Solenoid C is de-energized and its check
ball is seated, solenoid pressure (yellow/white)
is applied to the upper end of the low-range
shift valve. The shift valve is pushed downward, by solenoid pressure, until it bottoms
against its stop. When downward, main pressure to the low-range clutch is cut off. The lowrange clutch-apply circuit is exhausted via the
bore of the low-range shift valve, the bore of
the intermediate-range shift valve, and the intermediate-range trimmer valve.
3. When Solenoid D is energized and its check
ball is unseated, solenoid pressure (yellow/
white) is released from the upper end of the intermediate-range shift valve. The shift valve is
pushed upward by its spring. When upward,
the low-range clutch can begin to exhaust
through its main-pressure feed line, through
the intermediate-range shift valve bore,
through a check ball, through the intermediaterange trimmer valve bore, and to the exhaust
regulator valve. When partially exhausted, the
low-range shift valve moves downward due to
solenoid pressure (yellow/white) at its upper
end (Solenoid C de-energized). When part way
down, the shift valve can complete the exhaust
of the low-range clutch through another passage which bypasses the ball check valve.
4. When the intermediate-range clutch is charged,
clutch pressure is also directed to the intermediate-range trimmer. It functions as described
in Paragraph 221l.
5. When Solenoid G (if present) is de-energized
and/or Solenoid F is energized, spring pressure
pushes the splitter shift valve upward. The
splitter-high clutch is released and the splitterlow clutch is applied. Splitter-low clutch pressure is also directed to the lower end of the
shift valve and to the upper end of the splitterlow trimmer. For models with lock-in-neutral,
Solenoid G is not present.
6. At the lower end of the splitter shift valve,
splitter-low clutch pressure can hold the valve
upward in case of power interruption to Sole222

noid F. At the splitter-low trimmer, the trimmer


functions as explained in Paragraph 221m.
7. All other valves remain in the position they
were in during second-range operation.
g. Fourth-Range Operation
1. When the selector lever is moved from 3
(Third-range) to 4 (Fourth-range), Solenoid F
is de-energized and Solenoid G (if present) is
energized. Solenoid D remains energized.
2. When Solenoid F is de-energized and its check
ball is seated, solenoid pressure (yellow/white)
is applied to the splitter shift valve and pushes
the valve downward. Solenoid G (if present) is
energized and its check ball is unseated to relieve splitter-low pressure at the lower end of
the splitter shift valve. When the splitter shift
valve moves downward, main pressure is directed to the splitter-high clutch. The splitterlow clutch exhausts through a port at the left
side of the valve bore. Solenoid D remains energized to retain the intermediate-range shift
valve in its upward position. For models with
lock-in-neutral, Solenoid G is not present.
h. Fifth-Range Operation
1. When the selector lever is moved from 4
(Fourth-range) to 5 (Fifth-range), Solenoids G
(if present) and D are de-energized and Solenoids E and F are energized.
2. When Solenoid G (if present) is de-energized
and Solenoid F is energized, solenoid pressure
is released from the upper end of the splitter
shift valve. Spring force pushes the shift valve
upward and the valve directs splitter-low clutchapply pressure (red/white) to the splitter-low
clutch. The splitter-high clutch exhausts through
the splitter-low trimmer valve bore. This exhaust is regulated by the downward movement
of the trimmer lower valve. The splitter-low
clutch is trimmed by the splitter-low trimmer, as
explained in Paragraph 221m. For models with
lock-in-neutral, Solenoid G is not present.
3. When Solenoid E is energized, solenoid pressure (yellow/white) is released from the upper
end of the high-range shift valve, and the valve
moves upward. This directs main pressure to
the high-range clutch. At the same time, the
high-range shift valve opens a passage through
which the cavity at the lower end of the inter-

Copyright 1997 General Motors Corp.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


mediate-range shift valve can exhaust. This
permits the intermediate-range shift valve to
move downward, due to solenoid pressure (yellow/white) retained when Solenoid D was deenergized.
4. The intermediate-range clutch exhausts
through a passage to the high-range shift valve
bore, then to the splitter shift valve bore, and
then to the splitter-low trimmer valve bore. At
the trimmer valve bore, exhaust is initially regulated through an orifice. Then, when the splitter-low trimmer acts, the exhaust is direct
(bypassing the orifice).
5. All other valves are in the position they were in
for fourth-range operation.
i. Sixth-Range Operation
1. When the selector lever is moved from 5
(Fifth-range) to 6 (Sixth-range), Solenoid F is
de-energized, Solenoid G (if present) is energized, and Solenoid E remains energized.
2. When Solenoid F is de-energized, its check
ball is seated and solenoid pressure is exerted
upon the upper end of the splitter shift valve.
When Solenoid G (if present) is energized, its
check ball is unseated and relieves splitter-low
clutch pressure at the lower end of the splitter
shift valve. The valve moves downward and
exhausts the splitter-low clutch and applies the
splitter-high clutch. For models with lock-inneutral, Solenoid G is not present.
3. Solenoid E remains energized, and the highrange shift valve remains upward to apply the
high-range clutch.
4. All other valves are in the position they were in
for fifth-range operation.
j. Reverse Operation

3. When Solenoid B is energized, its check ball is


unseated and solenoid pressure is relieved at
the upper end of the reverse shift valve. The
spring at the lower end of the reverse shift
valve pushes the valve upward. In its upward
position, the valve directs main pressure to the
reverse clutch and engages the clutch.
4. Reverse clutch-apply pressure is also directed
to the reverse trimmer valve. The reverse trimmer functions as described in Paragraph 221j.
5. Solenoid F remains energized to retain splitterlow operation. Solenoid A (if present) remains
energized to prevent trapping low-range clutchapply pressure at the lower end of the low-range
shift valve in the event of a quick shift from low
range to reverse (the selector would not be in
neutral long enough to permit the low-range
shift valve to bottom and exhaust the low-range
clutch). For models with lock-in-neutral, Solenoid A is not present.
k. Protection in the Event of Electrical Interruption While Operating in Reverse
1. If electrical power is interrupted completely
during reverse operation, the transmission will
go to neutral and remain in neutral regardless
of shift selector placement.
2. If electrical power to Solenoid B only is interrupted, the transmission will go to neutral and
remain there until the selector lever is moved
to another position. Shifting to any forward
range will occur normally.
3. If electrical power to Solenoids A (if present)
or F is interrupted during operation in reverse,
the transmission will remain in reverse until
the selector lever is moved or the equipment
engine is stopped. Thereafter, shifting will be
erratic when the engine is restarted and the
shift selector moved to other positions. Refer
to Troubleshooting (Paragraph 323).

1. Regardless of which forward range is selected,


the selector lever must pass through N (Neutral) before R (Reverse) is selected. In neutral,
Solenoids A (if present) and F are energized.
Refer to Paragraph 222a.

l. Protection in the Event of Electrical Interruption While Operating Dual-Electric Equipment

2. When the selector lever is moved from N (Neutral) to R (Reverse) position, Solenoid B is energized. Solenoids A (if present) and F remain
energized.

1. When the electric control system is included in


transmissions for equipment having front and
rear power units, the rear-unit control system
has lock-in-neutral and the front-unit control

system has lock-in-range. Refer to Paragraphs
221h and 222b, c, and k.
2. If electrical power to any individual Solenoid B,
C, D, or E in the rear unit is interrupted, it will
cause the rear unit to go to neutral if the transmission is operating in the range requiring that
solenoid to be energized. Operation in other
ranges will not be affected.
3. If electrical power to splitter shift valve Solenoid F is interrupted during second, fourth, or
sixth range operation, there will be no effect on
transmission operation. However, if such an interruption occurs during operation in reverse,
first, third, or fifth range, the electrical interruption will cause an upshift to the next higher
range.
4. If any neutral condition in the rear unit exists
while the selector is in either a forward or reverse position, investigate to determine if electrical interruption is the cause. Similarly, if
there is any conflict between engine speed synchronization of the front and rear units during
operation in reverse, first, third, and fifth
ranges, investigate to determine if splitter valve
solenoid electrical interruption is the cause.

223. SPG-CONTROL AUTOMATICELECTRIC HYDRAULIC SYSTEM


AND CIRCUITS (Foldout 6)
NOTE:
Only the system components that differ from those
in the manual-electric system and circuits (Paragraphs 221 and 222) are described.
References to up, down, left, or right refer to positions or movements of components on Foldout 6.
For SPG-control automatic-electric hydraulic system functions, refer to Paragraph 218a.
For SPG-control automatic-electric hydraulic system schematics, refer to Paragraph 218b.
a. Description
1. The SPG-control automatic-electric control system consists of the components shown on Foldout 34. Components are selective for equipment
which has either a 12V or 24V electrical system.
224

2. The system uses either 12V-to-24V converter 4


(for 12V equipment) or 24V overload protector
5 (for 24V equipment) as a power supply unit.
The equipment battery supplies electrical power.
3. Other components of a system are shift selector 1 (Foldout 35), Shift Pattern Generator
(SPG) 1 (Foldout 34), throttle potentiometer
assembly 9, magnetic pickup assembly 8, cab
and equipment wiring harnesses 6 and 7, and
the control valve assembly (Foldout 21).
4. The mechanical components of the system include gear 14 (Foldout 28), gear 47 (Foldout
29), gear 44 (Foldout 30), or gear 72 (Foldout
31), located on the output shaft, and throttle lever 10 (Foldout 34). The gear teeth run in
proximity to the end of the magnetic pickup,
and induce electrical impulses in the magnetic
pickup. A mechanical linkage connects the
throttle lever to the equipment throttle control.
b. Operation
1. The automatic-electric control system selects
the proper transmission drive ratio for the most
efficient operation of the equipment under all
conditions of speed, load, throttle position, and
range selection.
2. The operator selects the range within which he
wants the transmission to operate. This may be
any one of the eight positions on the shift selector, shown in Figure 24. The range indicator,
mounted on the side of the shift selector, has
eight indicator lights (R, N, D, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1)
which indicate the range in which the transmission is operating. A ninth indicator light (lockin-range) indicates that an electrical interruption
has occurred and the transmission is locked in
the forward range it was in at the time of the interruption. If the interruption has occurred during reverse operation, the transmission will have
shifted to neutral.
3. For the range selected, the shift selector transmits an electrical signal to the SPG. The SPG
also receives pulse signals indicating equipment speed from the magnetic pickup and a
signal from the throttle potentiometer indicating equipment throttle position.

4. The three SPG inputs are converted electronically to a signal pattern which is transmitted to
the control valve assembly. The range selected
by the operator, the equipment (transmission
output) speed, and the throttle position determine the signal pattern sent to the control valve
assembly.
5. If a forward range is selected, the transmission
starts out in first range and upshifts automatically within the selected range. Timing of upshifts and downshifts is based on equipment
speed and throttle position. At closed throttle,
both upshifts and downshifts occur at lower
speeds than at open throttle.
6. The SPG includes components that protect the
engine and equipment drive train from down-

shifts at excessively high speeds. If an accidental high speed downshift or a premature


selection of neutral or reverse occurs, the inhibitor will prevent engine damage due to an
overspeed condition. The transmission will
progressively downshift at safe engine speeds
until the range selected can be attained. Throttle position will not influence such downshifts.
7. Refer to Paragraphs 221 and 222 for the description and operation of the control valve assembly. While Paragraphs 221p and 221q
and Paragraph 222 pertain specifically to
manual shifting, the responses of the control
valve in each range are similar. The control
valve assemblies for SPG-controlled automatic-electric systems are identical to those for
manual-electric systems.

c. Lock-In-Range Downshift Protection
1. The lock-in-range protective circuitry in the
SPG prevents sudden downshifts and is activated when there is electrical interruption in the
magnetic pickup or the wires to the pickup, in
the valve body solenoids, or when severe braking effort (panic stop) occurs.
2. When the lock-in-range circuitry is activated, it
turns off all power to the valve body solenoids.
This causes the valves to hydraulically lock the
transmission in the forward range in which it
was operating at the time. If the electrical interruption occurs while operating in reverse, the
transmission will automatically go into neutral.
d. Lock-In-Range Reset Procedure

equipment operation will be somewhat erratic


depending on which solenoid was affected.
3. If the circuit was activated due to a panic stop,
the reset procedure will return the equipment
to normal operation.
f. Electrical Connections

WARNING!
Welding on the equipment may induce currents
and voltages in the transmission electronic controls. Sudden and unexpected movement may occur if the transmission controls are accidentally
activated. To avoid injury or property damage,
always disconnect the Shift Pattern Generator
(SPG) before welding on the equipment.

1. If the lock-in-range circuit has been activated,


for any reason, reset the circuit as follows:
Turn off electrical power to the SPG, and

shut down the engine for approximately 5 to


10 seconds.
Start the engine, and turn on the electrical

there are nine individual leads coming from
the cab wiring harness that connects the shift
selector and SPG.

power to the SPG.


NOTE:
In some equipment, the input power to the SPG depends on the engine oil pressure switch (Paragraph
223g or 223h). Other equipment may provide the
input power through the equipment on/off lock
switch.

2. These leads are colored (3 black, 2 red, 2


white, 1 blue, and 1 green). These leads are
connected as shown in Figure 25 or 26.
3. Other wiring varies, depending upon whether a
negative- or positive-ground system is required.
g. Negative-Ground System

2. After resetting the circuit, select the desired


operating range. Be sure the transmission is actually in the range selected before increasing
the engine throttle.
e. Operation After Lock-In-Range Reset
1. If the lock-in-range circuit was activated due to
an electrical interruption in the magnetic
pickup or the pickup wiring, the equipment
will operate only in first, neutral, and reverse.
2. If the circuit was activated due to an electrical
interruption in the valve body solenoids, the

(which requires the 24V overload protector).
2. The wire from No. 1 terminal of the power supply unit connects to the positive pole of the equipment electrical system. A normally-open, engineoil pressure switch, that closes at a pressure lower
than minimum engine oil pressure, should be in
this line.

3. The wire from the No. 2 terminal of the converter connects to the negative pole of the
equipment electrical system. This connection
should be made through an engine-oil pressure
switch as described in Paragraph 223g(2).
i. Fusing and Overload Protection

CAUTION:
Damage to system components can occur if circuits are over-fused.
1. An SFE 9A fuse is installed in the shift selector. This fuse protects the neutral start switch.
2. The 12V-to-24V converter unit is equipped with
an SFE 71/2 A fuse. This fuse protects the transmission control system from transient or steady
high current from the equipment electrical
system.
3. The 24V overload protector is equipped with a
circuit breaker that opens when any transient or
steady high current is sent to the transmission
control system from the equipment electrical
system. This circuit breaker is automatically reset by interrupting the electrical supply from the
equipment electrical system (by stopping, then
restarting the engine when an engine-oil pressure switch is included).

228

For electronic control hydraulic system schematics,

refer to Paragraph 218b.

a. Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The Electronic


Control Unit (ECU) (Figure 27) contains a microcomputer which receives and processes signals from
various switches and sensors. The ECU can then control transmission operation by actuating the appropriate solenoids. The ECU can also perform diagnostic
functions and identify electronic system problems
with a displayed code.

b. Shift Selector
1. The two types of electronic control shift selectors are touch-pad (Figure 28) and shift lever
(Figure 29).

NOTE:
For models with touch-pad selector, proceed with

Step (2).
For models with shift lever selector, proceed to

2. The touch-pad selector (Figure 28) is totally


electronic. The shift selector displays seven
snap-dome pads: R (Reverse); N (Neutral); D
(automatic shifting, first range through sixth
range); 4 (automatic shifting, first range

3. The lever shift selector (Figure 29) is electromechanical and has a movable lever. Movement
of the lever activates electronic circuits within
the shift selector (there is no mechanical linkage attached to the lever). A two-finger shift lever latch release is located below the lever end
cap. The shift lever cannot be moved through
the detents until the two-finger shift latch is
pulled toward the lever end cap. There are nine
separate positions on the shift lever quadrant:
R1 (Reverse-1); R2 (Reverse-2); N (Neutral);
D (automatic shifting, first range through sixth
range); 5 (automatic shifting, first range
through fifth range); 4 (automatic shifting, first
range through fourth range); 3 (automatic shifting, first range to third range); 2 (automatic
shifting, first range to second range); 1 (first
range). The shift selector also incorporates two
DO NOT SHIFT lights. When any one of the
forward drive ranges is selected, detents within
the shift selector will hold the lever in the selected position. Also, detents within the shift
selector hold the shift lever at N (Neutral) and
out of R (Reverse).
4. When a serious irregularity is detected in the
system, a buzzing tone is produced and the DO
NOT SHIFT lights flash continuously. This indicates that the operator is not to shift the
transmission because the shift selector and the
electronic control will not respond. For models
with lock-in-range downshift protection, the
transmission will stay in the range it was in at
the time the DO NOT SHIFT lights were activated regardless of what range is selected at the
shift selector. For models with lock-in-neutral,
the transmission will shift to neutral when the
DO NOT SHIFT lights are activated.

c. CHECK TRANS Light


1. The OEM-supplied CHECK TRANS light may
be located on the equipment instrument panel.
2. This light comes on every time the system is
turned on as a lamp check and also when the
ECU finds an irregularity in the system. If the
CHECK TRANS light comes on and the DO
NOT SHIFT light(s) remains off, the irregularity is minor. In some cases, the transmission will
continue to operate in a normal manner. However, in other cases the ECU will take action to
reduce the possibility of damage to the equipment or the transmission. For example, the ECU
may prevent operation in higher ranges.
d. Throttle Sensor
1. A remote-mounted throttle sensor is located in
the engine compartment. This sensor consists
of a push-pull cable and a potentiometer. One
end of the cable is attached via an OEM-supplied bracket to the engine fuel lever (the adjustable bracket attaches to the governor fuel
lever on diesel engines). The other end of the
cable is attached to a potentiometer which is
inside a protective housing. Voltage readings
from the potentiometer are sent to the ECU via
the wiring harness.

230

2. Movement of the throttle causes a change in


the voltage signal to the ECU, which is programmed to recognize the signal as a percent
of throttle. When the throttle is wide open, the
ECU will cause upshifts to occur near the engine governed speed. Part throttle will cause
upshifts to occur at a lower engine speed.
When the throttle is closed, the ECU may delay the release of the lockup clutch to provide
better engine braking. All modulation of shifts
occurs as a result of the throttle sensor.
e. Output Speed Sensor (Figure 210)
1. The output speed sensor (magnetic pickup) is
located in the rear housing. The magnetic end
of the sensor is positioned near the speed sensor gear (39- or 41-tooth) located on the transmission output shaft. The chassis harness connects the speed sensor to the ECU.
2. Rotation of the output shaft causes the gear teeth
to pass through the magnetic field at the end of
the sensor. The passing of each gear tooth interrupts the magnetic field and generates an electrical pulse which is directed to the ECU (a 39tooth gear would produce 39 pulses for each revolution of the output shaft). The ECU uses this
signal (speed), the throttle sensor signal (power
demand), and shift selector position to control
upshifts, downshifts, and lockup operation.

f. Wiring Harnesses. Three wiring harnesses are
used to connect the components of the electronic control system. The chassis harness (Figure 211) connects the ECU to the components located in the engine
compartment (e.g., transmission, throttle sensor, and
speed sensor). The cab harness (Figure 212) connects
the components located at the instrument panel: the
ECU, shift selector, and Diagnostic Data Reader
(DDR) hookup. This harness also connects the ECU to
the equipment electrical system. The secondary mode
harness (Figure 213) connects the ECU to special
functions (e.g., stall checks, special pumping, or dualmode operation).
g. Lockup (Models With Electric Lockup)
1. Upon start-up of the transmission, main hydraulic fluid pressure is supplied to the top of
the lockup valve, the side of the lockup valve,
and the lockup spring pocket through an orifice. The lockup clutch is exhausted through
the valve (Figure 214).
2. The lockup solenoid is energized by a signal
from the ECU, exhausting main pressure from
the spring pocket. Although main pressure
fluid continues to feed into the spring pocket,
the effective orifice in the solenoid is large
enough to allow the spring pocket to be exhausted since the spring pocket feed is through
a smaller orifice. Main pressure at the top of
the lockup valve then overcomes the spring
force and the valve moves down. The exhaust
is then cut off and main pressure is fed to the
lockup clutch through the lockup valve.
3. When the solenoid is de-energized, the spring
pocket exhaust is closed, main pressure combines with the spring force in the spring pocket
to overcome the main pressure at the top of the
valve, and the valve moves to the up position.
Lockup feed is cut off and the lockup clutch
exhausts through the lockup valve.
h. Operation of the Electronic Control System
1. The electronic control system selects the
proper transmission drive ratio for the most efficient operation of the equipment under all
conditions of speed, load, throttle position, and
range selection.

2. The operator selects the desired range, which


may be any one of eight positions at the shift
selector.
3. The shift selector transmits an electronic signal
to the ECU. The ECU also receives pulse signals indicating equipment speed from the
speed sensor and a signal from the throttle sensor indicating throttle position.
4. The three inputs are transmitted to the ECU
which sends the electronic signals to the control valve assemblies. The range selected by
the operator, the equipment (transmission output) speed, and the throttle position determine
the signal sent to the solenoids in the control
valve assemblies.
5. If a forward range is selected, the transmission
starts out in first range and upshifts automatically within the selected range. Timing of upshifts and downshifts is based on equipment
speed and throttle position. At closed throttle,
both upshifts and downshifts occur at lower
speeds than at open throttle.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


6. The ECU includes a program that protects the
engine and equipment drive train from downshifts at excessively high speeds. If an accidental high speed downshift or a premature
selection of neutral or reverse occurs, the ECU
will prevent engine damage due to an overspeed condition. The transmission will progressively downshift at safe engine speeds
until the range selected can be attained. Throttle position will not influence such downshifts.
7. Refer to Paragraphs 221 and 222 for the description and operation of the hydraulic system
and circuits. While Paragraphs 221p and 221q
and Paragraph 222 pertain specifically to manual shifting, the responses of the hydraulic system and circuits in each range are similar. The
control valve assemblies for electronic-control
systems without trim boost are similar to those
for manual-electric systems.

NOTE:
Only the system components that differ from those
in the electronic control system without trim boost
(Paragraph 224) are described.
References to up, down, left, or right refer to positions or movements of components on Foldout 7.
For electronic control hydraulic system functions,
refer to Paragraph 218a.
For electronic control hydraulic system schematics,
refer to Paragraph 218b.
a. Trimmer System
1. The trimmer system includes six valve groups
in the lower section of the control valve assembly. These are: reverse trimmer, low-range
trimmer, intermediate-range trimmer, splitter-

high trimmer, splitter-low trimmer, and trim


boost regulator.
2. Functions are similar for each of the trimmers.
Each trimmer regulates the application of its
respective clutch, by limiting the initial apply
pressure and then permitting full apply pressure. Trimming prevents shift shock resulting
from abrupt clutch engagement.
3. During full throttle conditions, trim boost
pressure at the trim boost regulator valve assists the trimmer springs causing a firm shift.
At closed throttle, trim boost pressure is absent, the trimmer springs are not boosted, and
the shifts are softer (more trimming of the
shift).
4. A secondary function of the range trimmers is
regulation of the exhaust of preceding clutches.
This regulation prevents both clutch slippage
and excessive clutch overlap during shifting.
b. Reverse Trimmer
1. This valve group includes a valve stop and two
springs in the lower end of the valve bore, a
valve near the middle of the bore, and a valve
at the upper end of the bore. A reverse clutchapply pressure passage is connected to the upper end of the bore. An exhaust port is just below the reverse clutch-apply pressure passage.
A passage at the lower end of the bore connects the cavity to the trim boost valve.
2. When the reverse clutch is applied, pressure is
sent to the top end of the trimmer valve. When
apply pressure overcomes trim boost pressure,
the two valves are forced downward against the
springs until fluid escapes at the exhaust port.
The escape of fluid, as long as it continues, reduces clutch-apply pressure. At the same time,
fluid flows through an orifice in the upper valve
to the cavity between the two valves. Pressure
in this cavity forces the lower valve downward
to the stop. The lower valve stops, but the flow
through the orifice in the upper valve continues. The pressure below the upper valve pushes
the upper valve back to the upper end of the

5600, 5800, 5900, 6000, 6600 SERIES TRANSMISSIONS


valve bore. This throttles, then stops, the escape of fluid to exhaust. When the escape of
fluid is throttled, clutch pressure rises. When
the escape of fluid stops, clutch pressure is at
its maximum. The lower valve remains downward until the clutch is released.
3. Upon release of the clutch, trim boost pressure
and the springs push all the trimmer components
to the top of the valve bore. In this position, the
trimmer is reset and ready for the next clutch application.
c. Low-Range Trimmer
1. This valve group includes a valve stop and two
springs at the lower end of the trimmer valve
bore, a valve near the middle of the bore, and a
trimmer valve at the upper end of the bore. A
low-range clutch-apply pressure passage is
connected to the upper end of the bore. An exhaust port is just below the low-range clutchapply pressure passage. A passage at the lower
end of the bore connects the cavity to the trim
boost valve.
2. Exhaust passages from the intermediate-range
and high-range shift valve bores connect to the
trimmer bore near the middle of the bore.
These passages, in conjunction with the position of the trimmer lower valve, control the exhaust rates of preceding clutches.
3. The trimming function of the low-range trimmer is similar to that of the reverse trimmer
(Paragraph 225b).
d. Intermediate-Range Trimmer
1. This valve group includes a valve stop and two
springs at the lower end of the trimmer valve
bore, a valve near the middle of the bore, and a
trimmer valve at the upper end of the bore. An
intermediate-range clutch-apply pressure passage is connected to the upper end of the bore.
An exhaust port is provided just below the intermediate-range clutch-apply pressure passage. A passage at the lower end of the bore
connects the cavity to the trim boost valve.

234

2. Exhaust passages from the low-range shift valve


and to the exhaust regulator valve are also provided. These passages, in conjunction with the
position of the trimmer lower valve, control the
exhaust rate of the low-range clutch.
3. The trimming function of the intermediaterange trimmer is similar to that of the reverse
trimmer (Paragraph 225b).
e. Splitter-High Trimmer
1. This valve group includes two springs and a
valve stop in the lower end of the trimmer
valve bore, a valve near the middle of the bore,
and a trimmer valve at the upper end of the
bore. A splitter-high clutch-apply pressure passage is connected to the upper end of the bore.
An exhaust port is provided just below the
splitter-high clutch-apply pressure passage. An
exhaust passage from the splitter shift valve
bore is connected to the middle of the trimmer
valve bore. An exhaust port is provided just
above the splitter-low exhaust passage. A passage at the lower end of the bore connects the
cavity to the trim boost valve.
2. The trimming function of the splitter-high
trimmer valve is similar to that of the reverse
trimmer (Paragraph 225b).
3. A secondary function of the splitter-high trimmer is regulation of splitter-low clutch exhaust.
The position of the trimmer lower valve, in relation to the exhaust passage near the middle of
the trimmer valve bore, determines the exhaust
rate of the splitter-low clutch exhaust.
f. Splitter-Low Trimmer
1. This valve group includes two springs and a
valve stop in the lower end of the trimmer
valve bore, a valve near the middle of the
bore, and a trimmer valve at the upper end of
the bore. A splitter-low clutch pressure passage is connected to the upper end of the bore.

Copyright 1997 General Motors Corp.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


An exhaust port is provided just below the
splitter-low clutch-apply pressure passage. An
exhaust passage from the splitter shift valve
bore is connected to the middle of the trimmer
valve bore. An exhaust port is provided just
below the splitter-high exhaust passage. A
passage at the lower end of the bore connects
the cavity to the trim boost valve.
2. The trimming function of the splitter-low trimmer is similar to that of the reverse trimmer
(Paragraph 225b).
3. A secondary function of the splitter-low trimmer is regulation of splitter-high clutch exhaust. The position of the trimmer lower valve,
in relation to the exhaust passages near the
middle of the trimmer valve bore, determines
the exhaust rate of the splitter-high clutch exhaust.

g. Trim Boost Valve


1. The trim boost regulator valve includes a trim
boost valve at the upper end of the bore and a
spring and stop at the lower end. A main hydraulic pressure passage is connected to the upper end and to the middle of the valve bore. A
passage just above the main pressure passage at
the center of the bore leads to the bottom of the
five trimmer valves. Two exhaust ports are provided: one toward the top of the bore and one at
the bottom.
2. When Solenoid J is energized, main pressure is
fed to the lower level of the trim boost valve
and it is forced downward against the stop, exhausting trim boost pressure from the bottom
of the trimmer valves. When Solenoid J is deenergized, the regulator valve moves upward to
the regulating position and feeds trim boost
pressure to the bottom of the trimmer valves.
At closed throttle, Solenoid J is ON. At full
throttle, Solenoid J is OFF.

226. TORQUE PATHS THROUGH THE


TRANSMISSION

NOTE:
This discussion of power flows assumes that the en-

gine is operating at normal output torque and


speed. Even though two clutches are applied, the
output shaft should not move significantly if the engine is idling, as the torque converter will not transmit sufficient torque to significantly move the
output shaft.
The direction of rotation is determined by viewing

the transmission from the front (input) end.

a. Torque Converter Operation. Power is transmitted hydraulically through the torque converter.
The engine drives the torque converter pump. The
pump throws transmission fluid against the turbine
vanes to impart torque to the turbine shaft. From the
turbine, fluid flows between the vanes of the stator
and re-enters the pump, where the cycle begins again.
When the engine is idling, impact of the fluid upon
the turbine blades is negligible. When the engine is
accelerated, the impact is increased and the torque directed through the turbine shaft can exceed the engine torque by an amount equal to the torque ratio of
the converter.

b. Lockup Operation. Power is transmitted mechanically through the lockup clutch. For models
without electric lockup, application of the lockup
clutch occurs automatically as a function of front governor (pitot) pressure. For models with electric lockup,
application of the lockup clutch occurs automatically
as a function of the electronic control system. When
the lockup clutch is applied, the converter elements rotate as a unit at engine speed. This provides a direct
drive from the engine to the turbine shaft.

All other clutches are released.

236

2. With two elements (sun gear and carrier) of the


splitter planetary locked together, the third
member (ring gear) must rotate when the other
two rotate. The low- and intermediate-range
sun gears are attached to the splitter ring gear
and rotate with it. Torque is not transmitted to
the transmission output because the range
clutches are released, allowing free rotation of
all range planetary gears.

planetary carrier. The splitter-low clutch is applied. Rotation and torque are transmitted to
the low- and intermediate-range sun gears. Refer to Paragraph 226c(2).
2. The low-range clutch is also applied. This
holds the low-range ring gear stationary. The

rotating low-range sun gear forces the pinions


on the low-range planetary carrier to rotate
within the stationary ring gear. Rotation of the
pinions causes the carrier to rotate in the same
direction as the sun gear. The low-range planetary carrier, being integral with the transmission output shaft, causes it to rotate.

3. The transmission output shaft rotates in a clockwise direction. A speed reduction of 4.0:1 is obtained, entirely within the low-range planetary.

26b, to the splitter-low clutch drum and splitter
planetary carrier. The splitter-high clutch is applied. This holds the splitter sun gear stationary.
This forces the pinions on the splitter planetary

2. The low-range clutch is also engaged. Refer


to Paragraph 226d(2) for explanation of
power flow from the low-range sun gear to the

3. The transmission output shaft rotates in a


clockwise direction. A speed increase of 0.67:1
in the high splitter, coupled with a speed reduction ratio of 4.0:1 in the low-range planetary,
gives an overall speed reduction of 2.68:1.

1. Engine torque is transmitted through the torque
converter, as described in Paragraph 226a, to
the splitter planetary carrier. The splitter-low
clutch is applied. Torque and rotation are transmitted to the low- and intermediate-range sun
gears. Refer to Paragraph 226c(2).
2. The intermediate-range clutch is also applied.
This holds the intermediate-range ring gear stationary. The rotating intermediate-range sun
gear forces the pinions on the intermediaterange planetary carrier to rotate within the stationary ring gear. This causes the carrier and the
low-range ring gear, to which it is attached, to
rotate. Both the sun gear and ring gear of the

low-range planetary rotate in the same direction,


but at different speeds. The ring gear has the
slower rotation.
3. The low-range pinions, being meshed with both
the sun gear and ring gear, rotate at another
speed and drive the low-range planetary carrier.
The carrier is integral with the output shaft and
drives it. This arrangement of two interconnected planetaries is called compounding.
4. The transmission output rotates in a clockwise direction at an overall speed reduction of
2.01:1. This ratio is the result of the 1:1 ratio
in the splitter and the 2.01:1 ratio in the compounded low- and intermediate-range planetaries.

splitter-low clutch drum and to the splitter planetary carrier. The splitter-low clutch is applied.
Refer to Paragraph 226c(2) for explanation of
power delivery to the low- and intermediaterange sun gears.
2. The high-range clutch is also applied. This
causes the intermediate-range ring gear (or, for
5600 Series, 5963, and 6063 models, the intermediate-range carrier) to rotate at the same
speed as the intermediate-range sun gear. The
intermediate-range planetary carrier must then

rotate at the same speed as the sun and ring


gears. The low-range ring gear, connected to the
intermediate-range planetary carrier, and the
low-range sun gear also rotate at the same
speed. The low-range sun gear also is rotating at
the same speed. The result is that the entire
range planetary group is locked together and rotating at the same speed as the turbine output
shaft.
3. The transmission output rotates in a clockwise
direction at 1:1 ratio. This is a result of direct
drive in the splitter-low clutch and direct drive
through the locked planetary sets. There is no
relative rotation of any planetary gears. They are
rotating as a unit.

1. Engine torque is transmitted through the torque


converter, as described in Paragraph 226a, to
the splitter-low clutch drum and to the splitter
planetary carrier. The splitter-low clutch is applied. Refer to Paragraph 226c(2), for explanation of the flow of power to the low- and intermediate-range sun gears.

3. The low-range sun gear rotates clockwise,


driving the low-range planetary pinions
counterclockwise. The low-range ring gear is
driven counterclockwise by the pinions. The
reverse sun gear, connected to the low-range
ring gear, also rotates counterclockwise. The
sun gear forces the reverse planetary pinions
to rotate clockwise within the stationary ring
gear, driving the reverse carrier counterclockwise.

2. The reverse clutch is also applied. This holds


the reverse ring gear stationary. The reverse
planetary is coupled (compounded) with the
low-range planetary to obtain opposite rotation
and the desired ratio. The two planetaries are
interconnected so that rotation is reversed in
the low-range planetary, and further speed reduction is obtained in the reverse planetary.

4. The low-range carrier, connected to the reverse planetary carrier, acts as a reaction
member, although it is moving slowly at output shaft speed. The overall speed reduction
ratio is 5.12:1. This is the result of direct
drive (1:1 ratio) in the splitter-low clutch and
a 5.12:1 speed reduction in the compounded
low-range and reverse planetaries.

1. For models with Reverse-2, engine torque is

described in Paragraph 226a, to the splitterlow clutch drum and splitter planetary carrier.
The splitter-high clutch is applied, holding
the splitter sun gear stationary. This forces the
pinions on the splitter planetary carrier to rotate around the stationary sun gear. The pinions overdrive the splitter ring gear, which is

2. In addition to the splitter-high clutch, the reverse clutch is engaged. Refer to Paragraph
226j(2) and (3) for explanation of the power
flow from the low-range sun gear to the transmission output shaft.
3. The low-range carrier, being connected to the
reverse carrier, acts as a reaction member although it is moving slowly at output shaft
speed. The overall speed reduction ratio is
3.46-to-1. This is the result of a speed increase
ratio of 0.67-to-1 in the high splitter, coupled
with a speed reduction of 5.12-to-1 in the compounded low-range and reverse planetaries.

SCOPE

This section describes the routine procedures required


to maintain the transmission in good operating condition. Included are instructions for care of the hydraulic
system, minor adjustments of the transmission and
control linkage, diagnostic tests, instructions for extended storage, and troubleshooting.

32. GENERAL INSPECTION


AND CARE
a. Clean and inspect the exterior of the transmission
at regular intervals. Inspect the transmission for:
loose bolts (transmission and mounting

components)
transmission fluid leaks*

2. If the fluid level is too low, fluid will not completely envelop the filter, causing the input
pump to draw both fluid and air. Fluid and air
are then directed to the clutches and converter, causing cavitational noises and irregular shifting.
3. If the fluid level is too high, fluid will be introduced into the gearing and clutches during severe up or down grade operation of the vehicle.
The resulting aeration can overheat the transmission and cause irregular shift patterns.

33. IMPORTANCE OF PROPER


TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
a. Effects of Improper Fluid Level. Because the
transmission fluid cools, lubricates, and transmits hydraulic power, the proper fluid level must be maintained at all times. Transmission performance is adversely affected if the converter and clutches do not
receive an adequate supply of fluid, or if aeration occurs due to improper fluid level.

WARNING!
To help avoid injury and property damage
caused by sudden and unexpected vehicle movement, do not perform maintenance or service
procedures until you:
Put the transmission in N (Neutral).
Set the parking brake and service brakes, and
make sure they are properly engaged.
Chock the wheels and take any other steps necessary to keep the vehicle from moving.

a. Cold Check. The cold check (engine not running) is made only to determine if there is sufficient
transmission fluid to permit safe starting of the engine.
A visual level indicator (Figure 31) or check plugs
(Figure 32 or 33) are provided. Figure 31 shows
how to read the indicator. If no fluid level indicator is
present, the fluid level must be at or above the ADD
plug level before the engine is started.
b. Hot Check

CAUTION:

NOTE:

To avoid transmission housing damage and fluid


leakage, refer to Paragraph 412c prior to removing or installing fluid level check plugs.

Observe the condition of the fluid in the indicator


glass or the type of flow from the plug opening.
Foaming or spurting fluid may indicate a false level.

1. The hot check is made to determine if there is


sufficient transmission fluid for normal operation of the transmission. This check is made after a few minutes operation, while the engine is
running at idle, the equipment standing level,
and the transmission at a normal operating temperature of 180200F (8293C). The hydraulic retarder control must be in the OFF position.
2. Fluid level plugs are located at the rear of the
transmission (Figure 32 or 33). Remove the
FULL plug. Under the conditions stated in the
previous paragraph, the fluid level should be at
the FULL plug level. If the fluid is below this
level, add sufficient fluid to bring it to the
FULL plug level. Drain excess fluid until it is
at the FULL plug level.

35. KEEPING TRANSMISSION FLUID


CLEAN
Transmission fluid must be handled in clean containers
to prevent foreign material from entering the transmission.

CAUTION:
Containers that have been used to handle antifreeze or engine coolant solution must never be
used for transmission fluid. Antifreeze and coolant solutions contain ethylene glycol which, if introduced into the transmission, can cause clutch
plate failure.

RECOMMENDATIONS

heating equipment or run the equipment in N (Neutral)


for a minimum of twenty minutes before attempting
range operation.

a. Recommended Automatic Transmission Fluid

CAUTION:
1. Hydraulic fluids (oils) used in the transmission
are important influences on transmission performance, reliability, and durability. Allisonapproved C-4 fluids are recommended for 5000
and 6000 Series transmissions.

Disregarding minimum fluid temperature limits


can result in transmission malfunction or reduced transmission life.

37. TRANSMISSION FLUID AND


FILTER CHANGE INTERVALS

2. Some DEXRON-III fluids are also qualified


as C-4 fluids. To ensure your fluid is qualified
for use in Allison Transmissions, check for a
DEXRON-III or C-4 fluid license, an approval number on the container, or consult the
lubricant manufacturer. Consult your Allison
Transmission dealer or distributor before using
other fluid types.

Transmission fluid and filter change frequency is determined by the severity of transmission service and
by the filter equipment installed. For 5000 and 6000
Series transmissions, change the fluid every 1200
hours of operation or sooner depending on operating
conditions. Change filter elements whenever the fluid
is changed and at 600 hour intervals between fluid
changes. More frequent changes may be required
when the fluid is visually contaminated, when operations are subject to high levels of contamination or
overheating, or if fluid analysis indicates that the fluid
is oxidized beyond the limits listed in Table 32.

b. Recommended Viscosity Grade. When choosing the optimum viscosity grade of fluid to use, consider duty cycle, preheat capabilities, and/or geographical location. Table 31 lists the minimum fluid
temperatures for safe transmission operation without
preheating. If preheating is necessary, use auxiliary

Fluid (SA2055) for additional information.

38. FLUID CONTAMINATION


a. Examination at Fluid Change. At each transmission fluid change, examine the drained fluid for evidence of dirt or engine coolant (water). A normal
amount of condensation will emulsify in the fluid during operation of the transmission. However, if there is
evidence of coolant, check the cooler (heat exchanger)
for leakage between the coolant and fluid areas. Fluid
in the coolant side of the cooler (or equipment radiator) is another sign of leakage. This, however, may indicate leakage from the engine oil system.
b. Metal Particles. Metal particles in the fluid (except for the minute particles normally trapped in the
filter and strainer) indicate damage has occurred in the
transmission. When these particles are found in the
sump, disassemble and closely inspect the transmission to find the source. Metal contamination requires
complete disassembly of the transmission and cleaning of all internal and external circuits, the cooler, and
all other areas where the particles could lodge. During
the repair of a major internal failure of a transmission,
dismantle the transmission into as many serviceable
detail parts as possible and thoroughly clean it. Do not
disassemble the unit just to the problem area.

CAUTION:
If excessive metal contamination has occurred, replacement of the cooler and inspection of all bearings within the transmission is recommended.

c. Coolant Leakage. If engine coolant leaks into the


transmission hydraulic system, take immediate action to
prevent malfunction and possible serious damage. Completely disassemble, inspect, and clean the transmission.
Remove all traces of the coolant, and varnish deposits
resulting from coolant contamination. Replace clutch
plates contaminated with ethylene glycol.
NOTE:
A Gly-Tek test kit to detect glycol in transmission
fluid can be obtained from Nelco Company, 1047
McKnight Road So., Saint Paul, Minnesota 55119.
Some C-4 fluids may produce a positive reading due
to additives that are not actually glycol. When test
results are questionable, a test of an unused sample
of the fluid type or brand should be made to confirm test results.

39. TRANSMISSION FLUID AND


FILTER CHANGE PROCEDURES
CAUTION:
To avoid transmission housing damage and fluid
leakage, refer to Paragraph 412c prior to removing or installing drain plugs.

1. The transmission should be at operating temperature (requires approximately one hour of


operation) to assist drainage.
2. Remove the drain plugs from the sump and filters (Figure 33 or 34). Drain the transmission fluid. Replace the plugs.
3. Remove the cylindrical strainer assembly located in the sump (Figure 33 or 34). Clean
the strainer assembly thoroughly. At each
cleaning, use a new cover gasket when installing the strainer and cover.
4. Remove the filter elements and discard. Thoroughly clean the filter shells. Install new filter
elements, using new gaskets or sealrings.
5. Before starting the engine, refill the transmission with clean transmission fluid. For initial
fill after rebuild, transmissions require approximately 3 gallons (11 liters) additional fluid to
charge the external systems (cooler, filter, and
external lines).

6. When filling the system, pour fluid into the


transmission until the correct level is indicated
on the visual level indicator or at the ADD
check plug. Start the engine, and let it idle for
two or three minutes. If main pressure fluctuates
and will not stabilize during this period, add
more fluid. After enough fluid is added to stabilize the pressure, operate the equipment through
all ranges until the temperature reaches 180F
(82C). Stop the equipment and check the fluid,
as outlined in Paragraph 34b. Add fluid, if required, while the engine is running.
7. Carefully inspect for fluid leakage while the
equipment engine is running.

310. BREATHER
The breather is located at the top of the transmission
housing as shown in Figures 33 and 34. The
breather prevents pressure buildup within the transmission. Keep the breather clean and the passage
open. The prevalence of dust and dirt will determine
how often the breather requires cleaning. Use care
when cleaning the transmission. Spraying steam, water, or cleaning solution directly at the breather can
force water or solution into the transmission.

311. CHECKING FLUID


TEMPERATURE, PRESSURES
CAUTION:
To avoid transmission housing damage and fluid
leakage, refer to Paragraph 412c prior to removing or installing temperature and pressure taps.
a. Fluid Temperature Gauge
1. A fluid temperature gauge may be installed on
the equipment instrument panel to indicate
converter-out (to cooler) fluid temperature. For
models with retarder (Figure 32), the gauge
sending unit is installed in a tap at the top of
the retarder control valve assembly. For mod-

36

els without retarder (Figure 35), the gauge


sending unit is installed in a tap at the left side
of the converter housing. The gauge is calibrated from 150330F (65165C). The normal operating temperature range of the transmission is 180200F (8293C). The safe
operating range of 150275F (65135C) is
marked by a green segment on the gauge. A red
segment denotes the overheat range 275330F
(135165C). For intermittent retarder operation only, the converter-out fluid temperature
may exceed 275F (135C), but under no condition is the converter-out fluid temperature to exceed 330F (165C).
2. If the maximum converter-out fluid temperature is reached, stop the vehicle and shift the
transmission into N (Neutral). Operate the engine at 1500 rpm to reduce the transmission
fluid temperature. If the transmission fluid
does not cool in approximately 30 seconds, or
if it continues to overheat after operation is
continued, stop the engine and locate and correct the source of the overheat condition.
b. Checking, Adjusting Main Pressure
1. A pressure gauge may be installed in the instrument panel to indicate hydraulic pressure. The
gauge is calibrated from 50300 psi (3452067
kPa). The 50140 psi (345965 kPa) segment is
red, the 140230 psi (9651585 kPa) segment is
green, and the 230300 psi (15852067 kPa)
segment is red.
2. Main pressure can be checked by the gauge on
the instrument panel (if so equipped) or by connecting a gauge to the tap on the front side of the
main-pressure regulator body (Figure 34).
Models with a variable capacity torque converter
have the main-pressure tap on the stator control
valve body (Figure 36). Main pressure must be
170185 psi (11721275 kPa) in all ranges with
the engine running at 1500 rpm, converter-out
temperature 200225F (93107C), and the output stalled.
3. The gauge continuously registers the pressure
in the main-pressure circuit and the applied
clutches.

4. If the operating pressures do not fall within safe


operating limits, main pressure requires adjustment. Raise or lower main pressure by adding or
removing shims at the booster signal plug end of
the main-pressure regulator valve spring. To add
or remove shims, remove main-pressure regulator valve plug 13 (Foldout 13, 14,A, or 14,B),
gasket 12, and booster plug 11. Shims 10 are located in the bore of the booster plug. Add or remove shims to obtain the proper main-pressure
readings. Shims are available in thicknesses of
0.0289 inch and 0.0528 inch (0.734 mm and
1.341 mm).
c. Checking Lubrication Pressure. The lubrication
pressure may be checked by connecting a pressure gauge
into the check point on the left side of the converter

housing (Figure 35). The lubrication pressure must be


approximately 20 psi (138 kPa) when the transmission is
in first range, with the output stalled, the transmission at
a normal operating temperature of 180200F (82
93C), and the engine running at 1000 rpm.
d. Adjusting Lubrication Pressure
(Models Without Retarder)
1. The purpose of setting lubrication pressure at
30 psi (207 kPa) maximum at full throttle with
the output stalled is to limit converter-out pressure to 65 psi (448 kPa) maximum. This assures adequate lockup clutch capacity, since
converter-out pressure opposes lockup clutch
engagement. Converter-out pressure is a function of lubrication pressure and cooler circuit
restrictions. If converter-out pressure exceeds

65 psi (448 kPa) after the lubrication valve has


been adjusted, and the cooler is not restricted,
larger lines are required in the cooler circuit.

CAUTION:
Do not use more than ten shims to adjust the lubrication pressure. If more than ten shims are required, replace the spring or check for additional
causes of pressure loss.

2. Lubrication pressure must not be less than 20 psi


(138 kPa) in all drive ranges and neutral at 1500
rpm with the output stalled. It must not exceed
30 psi (207 kPa) in neutral, at full throttle with
the output stalled. If the lubrication pressure
38

needs to be adjusted, add or subtract shims 68


(Foldout 11) between lubrication regulator valve
67 and spring 69. Each added shim will increase
the pressure approximately 2 psi (14 kPa).
3. After adjusting the lubrication pressure, check
the converter-out pressure at full throttle, and
at normal operating output speed range.
e. Checking Converter-out Pressure. Converter-out
pressure may be checked at the point provided for attaching the temperature gauge sending unit (Figure 32
or 35). With the transmission at a normal operating
temperature of 180200F (8293C), converter-out
pressure at full throttle stall is 3065 psi (207448 kPa).
Refer to Paragraph 316 for stall test procedures.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
f. Checking Fluid Velocity Governor (Pitot) Pressure (Models With Non-Electric Lockup)

g. Checking Stator Control Pressure (Models


With Variable-Capacity Torque Converter)

1. Install a pressure gauge at the lower plug on


the lockup valve body (Figure 34) or the upper plug on the right side of the retarder housing. Governor (pitot) pressure depends upon
the rotation of the splitter-low clutch drum. No
reading can be taken unless the equipment is
operating. In neutral, with the engine running
at 1000 rpm, the reading will be proportional
to the speed of the turbine output shaft and will
vary from 0 to approximately 30 psi (0 to approximately 200 kPa).

1. The stator control pressure is taken at the top


of the stator control valve (Figure 36). With
the transmission in neutral, at a normal operating temperature of 180200F (8293C),
and engine speed at 1500 rpm, the pressure
must read 020 psi (0138 kPa). Actuate the
OEM-supplied stator shift control mechanism. The pressure gauge must read 150170
psi (9651172 kPa). When the stator control
is released, fluid pressure at the gauge must
drop to 020 psi (0138 kPa).

2. Readings in each range will be proportional to


the speed of the equipment in that range. There
will be a momentary drop in governor pressure
as shifts are made from one range to another.

2. If main pressure readings are satisfactory


(Paragraph 311b), but stator control pressure
fails to meet the 150170 psi (10341172 kPa)
range, replace stator control valve spring 28
(Foldout 13).

3. When upshifting, the pressure will quickly return after the shift is made but the pressure will
be lower than before shifting. It will climb as
equipment speed increases. When downshifting, the pressure will return and be higher than
before shifting. It will fall as equipment speed
decreases. Under differing operating conditions, pitot pressure will vary from 0120 psi
(0827 kPa).

h. Checking Range and Splitter Clutch Pressures


1. Refer to Figure 34 for location of pressure
taps for range and splitter clutches (manual-hydraulic models do not have pressure taps for
the range clutches).
2. Clutch-apply pressure at all range and splitter
clutch pressure taps must equal main pressure
(refer to Paragraph 311b).

312. LINKAGE
a. Manual Selector Valve Linkage
(Manual-Hydraulic Models)

VALVE PLUG ADAPTER

1. Refer to the equipment manual for specific linkage adjustment procedures. The following general procedures are applicable to most equipment. The manual selector lever should move
easily and give a crisp detent feel in each position. Adjust the linkage so the stops in the shift
selector match the detents in the transmission.
When the linkage is correctly adjusted, the pin
which engages the shift lever linkage at the
transmission can be moved freely in each range.

2. Proper adjustment of the manual selector


valve linkage is important because the shift selector detents must correspond exactly to
those in the transmission. Make periodic inspections for bent or worn parts, loose
threaded connections, loose bolts, and accumulation of grease and dirt. Keep all moving
joints clean and well-lubricated.

39

5600, 5800, 5900, 6000, 6600 SERIES TRANSMISSIONS


b. Retarder Valve Linkage. Clean, inspect, and lubricate all linkage. The retarder is not applied when
the valve is upward (out of the valve body). For normal operation with the retarder off, it is important that
the linkage be adjusted so the valve is held fully upward. If the linkage allows the retarder to be partially
applied, excessive drag and overheating will result and
fuel consumption will be excessive. When the retarder
is applied, make sure that the valve is all the way
downward. Inspect the control linkage for binding,
wear, or breaks. For air cylinder retarder control systems, include a stop to prevent battering the valve
against its internal stop.
c. Output Disconnect Linkage
1. Adjust the linkage so that the output is fully
connected in the IN position and fully disconnected in the OUT position.
2. Make periodic inspections for bent or worn
parts, loose connections, and accumulation of
grease and dirt. Keep moving joints clean and
well-lubricated.

313. EXTERNAL HYDRAULIC LINES


AND COOLER
a. External Lines. Inspect external lines for loose
or leaking connections and worn or damaged hoses.
b. Cooler
1. Examine the radiator coolant for traces of
transmission fluid. This condition indicates a
faulty heat exchanger.
2. Abnormally high operating temperatures can
cause clogging of the cooler as well as transmission failure. Thoroughly clean the cooler
system after each transmission rebuild. Failure
to do so may cause poor performance, overheating, and transmission damage. For recommendations for cleaning or flushing the cooler,
refer to the equipment service manual.

310

314. ADJUSTING LOCKUP SPEED


(Models With Non-Electric Lockup)

CAUTION:
To avoid transmission housing damage and fluid
leakage, refer to Paragraph 412c prior to removing or installing pressure taps.

NOTE:
Although transmissions may have the same model
designation, the engine speed at which the lockup
clutch release occurs may vary based on the transmission application. Be sure that the lockup release
speed is the one specifically recommended for the
equipment and transmission being checked and adjusted.
a. Lockup Speed (in the Equipment)
1. Check lockup speed with the transmission in
fifth range at the point of lockup disengagement (release). The lockup pressure check
point is shown in Figure 34. The out-oflockup must be as close as possible to the
equipment manufacturers recommendations.
2. Attach a tachometer of known accuracy to the
engine. Increase the equipment speed until it is
operating in lockup. At this point, apply the hydraulic retarder (or, for models without retarder, apply a load to the equipment) until the
lockup clutch releases and the transmission operates in converter operation. Note the engine
speed at the moment the lockup clutch releases
and compare it to the lockup release speed for
the transmission recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
b. Lockup Speed and Shift Points (Using a Test
Stand). The electric control valve body incorporates a
hydraulic overlap system which functions during some
upshifts and downshifts. When checking on a test
stand at engine idle with no load, the transmission output shaft will stop turning momentarily during some
shifts. This is normal and will not harm the transmission. At top engine speed, the output shaft should not
visibly stop during range shifts. When the transmission is installed in the equipment and shifted properly,
the unit will operate and perform satisfactorily.

Copyright 1997 General Motors Corp.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
c. Lockup Speed Adjustment. If the lockup release
speed requires adjustment, the speed can be changed
by adding or removing shims 9 (Foldout 15,B). These
shims are located between lockup shift valve 8 and
lockup valve spring 11. Adding a shim will raise the
lockup speed approximately 20 rpm; removing a shim
will lower the lockup speed approximately 20 rpm.

315. ADJUSTING PARKING BRAKE


a. Description. The internal, expanding-shoe parking brake is mounted at the rear of the transmission at
the output.
b. Procedures

316. TRANSMISSION STALL TEST AND


NEUTRAL COOL-DOWN CHECK
WARNING!
To help avoid injury and property damage
caused by sudden and unexpected vehicle movement, do not begin a stationary stall test until
you:
Put the transmission in N (Neutral).... and
Set the parking brake and service brakes, and
make sure they are properly engaged... and
Chock the wheels and take any other steps necessary to keep the vehicle from moving... and
Warn people to keep clear of the vehicle and
its path.

1. To remove signs of wear, brake drums can be


turned up to 0.100 inch (2.54 mm).
2. Adjust the brake shoes for proper drum clearance by inserting a screwdriver or brake adjusting tool into the adjusting slot in the brake
drum. Tighten the brake adjusting screw until
the brake lining is tight against the drum. Then
back off the adjusting screw three full turns.
3. Adjust the brake linkage by releasing the apply
mechanism fully and adjusting the connecting
linkage so that it can be freely connected to the
apply lever on the brake. Take all slack out of
the brake, without actually moving the brake
shoes, when the linkage adjustment is made.
c. Burnishing New Brakes

CAUTION:
Never maintain the stall condition for more
than 30 seconds at any one time because of the
rapid rise in fluid temperature.Do not conduct
a stall test if the transmission is not equipped
with a converter-out temperature gauge. Do not
let the converter-out fluid temperature exceed
275F (135C). Allow the system to cool down
between stall checks by performing the cooldown as described in Paragraph 316e. If the
stall test is repeated, do not let the engine overheat.

a. Purpose

1. If necessary, burnish new drums and brake


shoe lining using the following procedures.
Do not over-burnish the brake.
2. Operate the vehicle at a speed of 10 mph.
Then, with the vehicle engine at closed throttle, stop the vehicle by applying the parking
brake. Repeat operation five times at one
minute minimum intervals.
3. Check brake holding ability by parking the vehicle on a reasonable grade or incline.
4. Repeat this procedure until the brake holding
ability check is satisfactory. When repeated
burnishing applications do not result in a significant increase in its holding ability and when
full lining surface contact exists, the brake
should be considered as developing its maximum torque holding capacity.

1. Stall testing is performed to determine whether


a power complaint is due to an engine malfunction or a transmission problem.
2. Stall speed is the maximum engine rpm attainable when the engine is at full throttle and
when the torque converter turbine is not moving, or stalled.
3. During a stall test, compare actual engine
speed at full throttle with established vehicle
manufacturers specifications.
NOTE:
Engine stall point data can be obtained from the vehicle manufacturer or from the equipment dealer or
distributor.

4. Use stall tests as troubleshooting procedures
only. Do not perform them as general checks or
maintenance.
b. Stall Test Preparation

determine stall check wire numbers. Move


the selector from N (Neutral) to the forward
range closest to the neutral position. The
transmission will shift to fifth range and
deactivate the lockup clutch.

1. Make sure the fuel control linkage goes to full


throttle and does not stick when released. For
electronically-controlled engines, make sure
the control system correctly recognizes the full
fuel command.

For transmissions with electronic controls

2. Check both the air induction system and the exhaust system for restrictions. If used, verify that
engine smoke controls are functioning correctly.

NOTE:
For equipment with engines not equipped with
smoke controls, proceed with Paragraph 316c.
For equipment with engines equipped with smoke
controls, proceed to Paragraph 316d.

3. Perform a cold check of the transmission fluid


level and adjust as necessary.
4. Install an accurate tachometer. Do not rely on
the vehicle tachometer.
5. Install a temperature gauge with the probe in the
transmission converter-out (to cooler) line (refer
to Paragraph 311a).
6. For a stationary stall test, block the vehicle
wheels.
7. Start the engine and let the transmission sump
warm to normal operating temperature 180
200F (8293C).
8. Perform a hot check of the transmission fluid
level and adjust as necessary.
9. Turn all engine accessories OFF.
10. Lock the transmission output.
11. Notify everyone to stay clear of the vehicle.
12. Select the range for the stall test:
For transmissions with manual-hydraulic

shift or manual-electric shift control, move


the shift selector to 5 (Fifth-range).
For transmissions with SPG shift control,

install Harness Adapter J 24712 onto the


SPG to provide fifth-range hold (regardless
of throttle setting), or use the Noel-Smyser
Field Test Kit N1948*.
For transmissions with electronic controls

and with ECU P/N 1228282, stop the vehicle,


idle the engine, and place the shift selector in
N (Neutral). Activate the switch to connect
(or physically connect) the stall check wires
in the secondary mode wiring harness. Refer
to TS2712EN, Troubleshooting Manual, to

and with ECU other than P/N 1228282, no


stall check can be performed. These other
models have not been electronically
programmed for stall check.

c. Stall Test Procedures Equipment Without


Smoke-Controlled Engines
1. Apply the vehicle parking and service brakes.
2. Slowly accelerate to full throttle.
3. When the tachometer levels off, record the
maximum engine rpm attained. Converter-out
pressure should be at least 30 psi (207 kPa).
4. Slowly release the throttle.
5. Shift to N (Neutral) and proceed to Paragraph
316e, Neutral Cool-Down Check. For transmissions with electronic controls, deactivate
the switch to disconnect (or physically disconnect) the stall check wires.
d. Stall Test Procedures Equipment With
Smoke-Controlled Engines
NOTE:
Because smoke controls and throttle-delay mechanisms inhibit engine acceleration, the stall testing may
need to be performed while the equipment is moving.
1. Select a location where the equipment is able
to accelerate in fifth range (level or slight
downward grade).
2. Select the hold range (refer to Paragraph 3
15b(12)). Make sure no loads are applied to the
equipment.
3. Operate the engine at full throttle, maximum
governed rpm.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
4. Slowly depress the equipment service brakes
while staying at full throttle.
5. When the equipment comes to a stop, record the
engine rpm this is the stall speed.
6. Return the throttle to idle, shift to N (Neutral),
and proceed to Paragraph 316e, Neutral CoolDown Check. For transmissions with electronic
controls, deactivate the switch to disconnect (or
physically disconnect) the stall check wires.
e. Neutral Cool-Down Check Procedure
1. The neutral cool-down check determines if the
transmission fluid cools properly following an
engine load condition. Perform this check immediately after the engine speed has been recorded in the stall test.
2. Record the converter-out fluid temperature.
3. With the transmission remaining in N (Neutral),
run the engine at 12001500 rpm for two minutes to cool the fluid.
4. After two minutes, record the converter-out fluid
temperature. The converter-out fluid temperature should now be within the normal operating
range.
f. Results
NOTE:
Environmental conditions, such as ambient temperature, altitude, engine accessory loss variations, etc.,
affect the power input to the converter. For example,
engine power decreases with increasing elevation (altitude). Power losses become more pronounced at
higher elevation, resulting in a lower engine speed
under converter stall conditions. Under such conditions, a stall speed deviation up to 150 rpm from
specification can be accepted as within normal range.
1. Compare the recorded stall speed to the speed
specified by the vehicle manufacturer as normal
for the ambient conditions. If the engine stall
speed is more than 150 rpm below the stall
speed specified by the engine manufacturer, an
engine problem is indicated. Refer to the engine
service manual for engine troubleshooting and
repair information.

2. If the engine stall speed is more than 150 rpm


above specification, a transmission problem is
indicated, such as slipping clutches, cavitation,
or torque converter failure.
3. An extremely low stall speed, such as 33 percent of the specified engine stall rpm, during
which the engine does not smoke, could indicate a free-wheeling torque converter stator or
misadjusted smoke controls.
4. If the engine stall speed conforms to specification, but the transmission fluid does not cool
during the two-minute cool-down check, a stuck
torque converter stator could be indicated.

317. PRESERVATION AND STORAGE


a. Storage, New Transmissions (Prior to Installation). New transmissions are tested at the Allison factory with preservative oil and drained prior to shipment. The residual oil remaining in the transmission
provides adequate protection to safely store the transmission for up to one year (stored indoors in conditions of normal climate, and with all shipping plugs installed) without further treatment.
b. Preservation Methods. When the transmission is
to be stored or to remain inactive for an extended period (one or more years), specific preservation methods are recommended to prevent damage due to rust,
corrosion, and organic growth in the fluid. Preservation methods are presented for storage with and without transmission fluid.
c. Storage, One Year Without Transmission
Fluid
1. Drain the transmission fluid.
2. Seal all openings and breather with moistureproof tape.
3. Coat all exposed, unpainted surfaces with preservative grease such as petrolatum (MIL-C11796, Class 2).
4. Spray two ounces (60 milliliters) of VCI #10
(or equivalent) into the transmission through
the fill tube.
5. If additional storage time is required, repeat
Steps (3) and (4) at yearly intervals.

5600, 5800, 5900, 6000, 6600 SERIES TRANSMISSIONS


d. Storage, One Year With Transmission Fluid
(Normally Installed in the Equipment)
1. Drain the transmission fluid and replace the filter elements (Paragraph 39).
2. Fill the transmission to operating level with a
mixture of one part VCI #10 (or equivalent) to
30 parts transmission fluid. Add 1/4 teaspoon of
Biobor JF (or equivalent) for every 3 gallons
(1 ml for every 10 liters) of transmission fluid
in the system.

7. As soon as the transmission is cool enough to


touch, seal all openings and the breather with
moisture-proof tape.
8. Coat all exposed, unpainted surfaces with preservative grease such as petrolatum (MIL-C11796, Class 2).
9. If additional storage time is required, repeat
Steps (2) through (8) at yearly intervals; except, it is not necessary to drain the transmission each year. Just add VCI #10 and Biobor
JF (or equivalents).

NOTE:
When calculating the amount of Biobor JF required, use the total volume of the system, not just
the quantity required to fill the transmission. Include external lines, filters, and the cooler.
3. Run the engine for approximately five minutes at
1500 rpm with the transmission in N (Neutral).
4. For automatic-shift models, shift to D (Drive)
and operate the equipment for approximately
five minutes at a sufficient speed to cause
sixth-range lockup operation. For manual-shift
models, operate the equipment for approximately five minutes at a sufficient speed to
shift through all selector positions to thoroughly distribute the fluid and to cause lockup
operation.
5. Continue running the engine at 1500 rpm with
the transmission in N (Neutral) until normal
operating temperature is reached.

WARNING!
To help avoid injury and property damage caused
by sudden and unexpected vehicle movement, do
not begin a stationary stall test until you:
Put the transmission in N (Neutral)... and
Set the parking brake and service brakes, and
make sure they are properly engaged... and
Chock the wheels and take any other steps necessary to keep the vehicle from moving... and
Warn people to keep clear of the vehicle and
its path.
6. If normal operating temperature is less than
225F (107C), refer to Paragraph 316 and
briefly stall the converter. When the converterout temperature reaches 225F (107C), stop
the engine. Do not exceed 225F (107C).
314

e. Restoring Transmission to Service


1. Remove all tape from openings and the breather.
2. Wash off all external grease with mineral spirits.
3. If the transmission is new, drain the residual preservative oil. Refill the transmission to the proper
level with transmission fluid (Paragraph 39).
4. If the transmission was prepared for storage
without fluid, drain the residual fluid and replace the filter elements. Refill the transmission to the proper level with transmission fluid
(Paragraph 39).
5. If the transmission was prepared for storage
with fluid, it is not necessary to drain and refill
the transmission with new transmission fluid.
Check for proper fluid level (Paragraph 34).
Add or drain transmission fluid as required to
obtain the proper level.

318. LUBRICATION OF SHIFT


SELECTOR SPG-CONTROL
AUTOMATIC-ELECTRIC MODELS
CAUTION:
Do not over-lubricate the shift selector.
Do not apply any lubricant on or near the

switches or switch assembly. Excess lubricant


tends to retain dust and dirt, and may seep into
areas where it would be harmful.
a. Lubrication Intervals
1. Lubricate shift selectors after the first 500 hours
of operation and every 2500 hours of operation
thereafter.

Copyright 1997 General Motors Corp.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
2. More frequent lubrication may be required if operating conditions are extremely dusty or dirty.

NOTE:
For transmissions with manual-electric shift con-

b. Clean Before Lubricating. Using approved shop


air, thoroughly clean the area to be lubricated. Work the
shift handle from side to side while applying the air blast.
c. Lubrication Points

trol, proceed to Paragraph 320.


For transmissions with SPG shift control, proceed

to Paragraph 321.
For transmissions with manual-hydraulic shift

1. Refer to Figure 66 for the area to be lubricated


with lithium-bearing grease. Apply lubricant
sparingly to shift handle 15 (Foldout 33), where
it swivels in rotary key 38 and at its point of
contact with leveler 4. Also, lubricate the right
end of leveler 4 where it reciprocates in rotary
key 38. Lubricate the cams of microswitch assembly 23 and bushing 11.
2. The lubrication points may be reached by a
pump-type applicator. Access the parts to be lubricated through the opening in which the shift
handle moves, and through an opening at the
bottom of the shift selector (Figure 61). Use
both access points to ensure complete lubrication. Some disassembly is necessary to lubricate
other points.

319. TROUBLESHOOTING THE


CONTROL SYSTEM
WARNING!
Electricity must never, under any circumstances,
be applied to any electric valve body component
while the engine is running, while the mechanic is
working under the vehicle, or while personnel
are working in the vehicle path. Sudden and unexpected movement may occur if the control
valve solenoids are activated by an external
power supply. A runaway vehicle could only be
stopped by applying the vehicle brakes or shutting down the engine: removal of the power supply would not stop the vehicle because of the failprotection system. To help avoid injury or property damage, always shut off the engine, set the
vehicle brakes, and lock the wheels before any
troubleshooting of the solenoids.

control, proceed to Paragraph 323.


For transmissions with electronic controls, refer to

SA2712, Troubleshooting Manual. Proceed to


Paragraph 323.

4. Only the pin receptacles listed above should be


energized in the selector positions shown. If
any others are energized, or if those listed are
not all energized, a malfunction of either the
shift selector or wiring harness is indicated.
5. If the terminals do not check out as listed in
Step (3), check the shift selector assembly separately (refer to Paragraph 322). If the shift
selector is faulty, it may be rebuilt (Paragraph
63). If the shift selector tests satisfactorily
(wiring harness disconnected) but trouble is
evident in tests in Step (3), the wiring harness
is faulty and must be replaced.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
If the wiring harness is cut or worn, re-route the
new harness to avoid recurrence of the fault.
c. Checking Main Control Valve Body
1. Disconnect the eight-pin connector of the wiring harness from the control valve body. Using
an ohmmeter, check between the center pin of
the eight-pin connector on the valve body and
the ground. The center pin is grounded to the
valve body by an internal lead, and the meter
reading should be zero. A resistance reading
here indicates a poor or broken connection.
2. Check each of the solenoid pins (A through G)
with the ohmmeter connected between each pin
and ground. For 24V systems, the readings must
be 5090 Ohms for each solenoid; for 12V systems, the readings must be 1530 Ohms. If resistance measurements are not within the
prescribed range, replace or repair the solenoid.
d. Checking Hydraulic Circuits. If electrical
checks do not indicate electrical system malfunction,
the hydraulic circuit may be at fault. Hydraulic troubles may be in either the control valve assembly or in
the related hydraulic components in the transmission.
The checks outlined in Steps (2) through (4) will locate an inoperative shift valve. Further checks, involving disassembly steps, will determine the reason the
valve is inoperative.
1. A shift valve which operates erratically, or is
inoperative, may be caused by the valve sticking in its bore, dirt or contamination in a solenoid, or dirt in the valve body or separator
plate orifices.
2. If a specific forward-range shift valve remains in
the DOWN position (refer to Foldout 6), the
transmission will shift normally below that range
but not into that range. If the transmission is
shifted to a higher range it will downshift only to
the range immediately above the range controlled by the inoperative valve.

3. If a specific forward-range shift valve remains


in the UP position (refer to Foldout 6), the operation in that range and above will be normal,
but no lower ranges, neutral, or reverse can be
obtained. The range controlled by the inoperative valve will be retained in all lower selector
lever positions.
4. If the splitter shift valve remains in either the
UP or DOWN position (refer to Foldout 6), the
transmission will operate in all forward ranges
and reverse, but the gear ratio will depend upon
which splitter clutch may be engaged. The
splitter-low clutch remains engaged when the
splitter-high clutch should be engaged and
vice versa.
5. To check for sticking shift valves, remove the
main solenoid module from the top of the control valve assembly.
6. An individual solenoid may be removed and a
new one installed when it is determined that a
particular solenoid is causing the existing condition. One method of checking the physical
operation of solenoids is to invert the solenoid
module, fill the pressure cavities with transmission fluid, and, with the module connected to
the wiring harness, shift through all selector
positions. Fluid should drain out of all cavities
at the same rate as solenoids are energized.
7. If dirt in the solenoid, valve body, or separator
plate orifices causes loss of shift valve operation, remove, disassemble, and thoroughly
clean the control valve assembly to correct the
problem. Give particular attention to clogged
orifices in the solenoids, valve bodies, and separator plates. Check the condition of the filters
at this time. Clogged filters will bypass dirty
transmission fluid and permit dirt to be carried
into the valve body.
8. Proceed to Paragraph 322.

321. CHECKING, ADJUSTING
SPG-CONTROL AUTOMATICELECTRIC SYSTEM (Figure 38)
a. Field Test Kit. A field test kit* is available for
checking the SPG-control automatic-electric components. Complete operating and test instructions accompany each test kit. Instructions are also given in
SM1809EN, available at authorized Allison Transmission service centers.
b. Checking Wiring Harnesses
1. The cab harness may be checked while it is
connected to a properly operating shift selector.
2. Disconnect the harness from the shift pattern
generator (SPG) (19-pin connector). Leave all
branches connected to the system. Check for
circuit continuity by touching ohmmeter probes
to the pin sockets in the connector removed
from the SPG, and shifting the selector lever.
For each selector position, check continuity as
follows:

Selector Position

Continuity (0 Ohms)
Between Pin Sockets

A, F

E, M

DR

E, G and E, N

E, H and E, N

E, J and E, N

E, K and E, N

E, L and E, N

E, M and E, N

Any position (ground)

B, V

3. If any of these checks show an open circuit, replace the cab harness.
4. If the checks in Paragraph 321b(2) are satisfactory, check the remaining two conductors in

the harness. Connect the ohmmeter between


pin sockets C and D. When the vehicle throttle
(engine not running) is closed, the resistance
should be 3090 Ohms. As the throttle is
opened slowly and smoothly, the reading
should increase smoothly, with no interruptions, to approximately 275 Ohms at wideopen throttle. If other values are obtained, the
throttle potentiometer lever may require adjustment (refer to Paragraph 66b(7)). If a zero
reading is obtained, a short circuit in either the
wiring harness or throttle potentiometer is indicated. If no circuit continuity (ohmmeter does
not move) is obtained, a break in the wiring
harness or potentiometer circuit is indicated.
5. Check the potentiometer alone, after disconnecting the two-pin connector of the wiring harness. Check between pins A and B on the
potentiometer in the same manner as pin sockets
C and D were checked in Step (4). The prescribed readings (30275 Ohms) should be obtained. If not, adjust the throttle potentiometer
lever (Paragraph 66b(7)). If there is a short circuit, open circuit, or a satisfactory adjustment
cannot be obtained, replace the potentiometer.
6. Check the equipment wiring harness by disconnecting it from the SPG. Leave the control
valve assembly and magnetic pickup in the circuit to permit continuity checks. The continuity checks, if satisfactory, indicate that the
wiring harness is satisfactory. If the checks are
not satisfactory, separate testing of the control
valve assembly and magnetic pickup is required to isolate the faulty component (harness, control valve, or pickup).
7. To make the checks, first connect an ohmmeter
across pin sockets A and B. The resistance
should be 50200 Ohms. A short circuit, open
circuit, or variation from the specified resistance
indicates a faulty harness or magnetic pickup. If
the check is unsatisfactory, remove the two-pin
connector and check resistance at the magnetic
pickup. A satisfactory reading at the pickup indicates the wiring harness is faulty.

8. Next, check the resistance between pin socket
T (ground) and each of the remaining active
pin sockets (E, F, G, H, J, K, and L). Each
check should give a reading of 5090 Ohms,
and will include the pertinent wiring harness
conductors and a valve body solenoid. A short
circuit, open circuit, or variation from the specified resistance indicates a faulty wiring harness, control valve circuit, or solenoid.
9. If the check is unsatisfactory, remove the eightpin connector from the control valve assembly
and check the resistance between the center pin
and each of the other seven pins (A, B, C, D,
E, F, and G) in the eight-pin socket, plus each
of the two pins (A and B) in the two-pin connector. A satisfactory reading (5090 Ohms) at
each of these nine points indicates the valve assembly has no electrical faults but that the wiring harness is faulty.

d. Checking Magnetic Pickup (Speed Sensor).


Connect an ohmmeter across pins A and B (wiring
harness removed). The reading must be 50200 Ohms.
If the reading is not within this range, replace the magnetic pickup.
e. Checking Shift Pattern Generator (SPG)
1. The SPG may be tested in the field with the
Noel-Smyser N1948 Test Kit to determine if
the SPG is faulty.
2. If the test kit is not available, and if all previous
tests of the system and components are satisfactory, substitute a new SPG for the suspect unit.
3. If the new SPG does not correct the problem,
the trouble may be in the hydraulic or mechanical components.

c. Checking Throttle Potentiometer


1. Position throttle lever 10 (Foldout 34) at the
full throttle position (approximately 35 degrees
counterclockwise from a vertical line through
the shaft to which the lever attaches viewed
from the lever end of assembly). Movement of
lever 10 from closed throttle to full throttle position must correspond with that of the equipment throttle control. Adjust only the linkage if
necessary. Do not make adjustments within
the throttle potentiometer.
2. Connect an ohmmeter across connector pins A
and B. Resistance should be 275 Ohms.
3. Slowly and smoothly swing the throttle lever
clockwise through an arc of approximately 70
degrees (to closed throttle position), while
reading the ohmmeter. The reading must decrease smoothly and without interruptions to a
value of 3090 Ohms at closed throttle position.
4. If these readings are obtained, the throttle potentiometer is electrically satisfactory and correctly adjusted. If the readings are either high
or low, the throttle potentiometer lever may require adjustment (Paragraph 66b(7)). If the
circuit is open, short circuited, or the reading is
irregular or intermittent, potentiometer assembly 9 (Foldout 34) must be replaced.
320

NOTE:
When a new SPG is installed for troubleshooting,
remove it (if original unit is not proved faulty) and
reinstall the original. Do not return the new unit for
service or adjustment on the supposition that it is
faulty.

4. If tests prove the SPG faulty, replace it with a


new unit. The faulty SPG may be rebuilt by
those having the proper equipment and skills.
Laboratory test procedures and rebuild instructions are included in Rebuild Manual
SM1502EN.
f. Checking 24V Overload Protector
1. The Noel-Smyser N1920 Test Kit or a voltmeter
may be used to test the 24V overload protector.
2. Refer to Table 33, Troubleshooting, Item G1,
for checking voltages at the overload protector.
3. If tests prove the overload protector is faulty, it
should be replaced by a new unit. The overload
protector may be rebuilt by those having the
proper equipment and skills. Laboratory test
procedures and rebuild instructions are included in Rebuild Manual SM1502EN.

3. Construct the test lamp bank and label each
lamp as shown in Figure 39.
c. Testing Manual-Electric Shift Selector
NOTE:
The field test kit described in Paragraph 320a

may be used for all tests. However, the technician


should have a thorough knowledge of the shift selector circuits. Multiple tests are necessary.
The lamp bank described in Paragraph 322b is

preferred for testing the shift selector assembly.


1. Throw switches to positions shown in Figure
39 (X to off; Y to manual). Connect the 12V
battery to the lamp bank, observing the polarity indicated in Figure 39.
2. Couple the lamp bank connector to the connector on the shift selector assembly.

7. Electrical interruption in the downshift inhibitor may be caused by either a faulty solenoid
coil or its connecting wire. The solenoid coil
can be checked, when removed, by connecting
it directly to a battery to determine if it will energize. The wiring and terminals may be
checked when the shift selector is disassembled (Paragraph 63).
8. Throw inhibitor Switch X to the OFF position
(Figure 39). This should release the inhibitor
solenoid and permit the selector lever to move
in either direction. Failure to release when the
switch is OFF could be due to a ground in the
conductor leading to Contact M in the shift selector connector. A mechanical fault not permitting release could be the failure of outer
clutch 73 (Foldout 33) to retract from inner
clutch 2. Disassembly and inspection (Paragraph 63) will reveal the fault.

3. Check the SFE 9A fuses in both the shift selector assembly and the lamp bank. If either is
blown, replace it. If the new fuse blows, there
is a ground or short circuit in the shift selector
assembly that must be corrected before proceeding.
4. Check the shift selector lamp. Note that the lamp
circuit is independent of the fuse in the shift selector assembly. If the lamp fails to light, a failed
bulb, defective socket, or open circuit is indicated.

MICROSWITCH SEQUENCE
GAUGE J 24710

5. Throw Switch X (Figure 39) to the ON position.


This should energize the downshift inhibitor.
There should be a click when the switch is
thrown. When the inhibitor is energized, manual
upshifts are possible but downshifts cannot be
made. If the click does not occur, and downshifts can be made, electrical trouble is indicated.
Either the solenoid coil or its connecting circuit is
faulty. If the click does occur, but downshifts
can be made, mechanical trouble is indicated.
6. Mechanical trouble in the downshift inhibitor
is usually due to failure of inner clutch 2
(Foldout 33) or angular misadjustment of solenoid housing 60. For repair of the clutch
and adjustment of the solenoid housing, refer
to Paragraph 63.

9. Check each position of the selector lever to determine if the selector switches are operating
(making and breaking) satisfactorily. This can
be determined by noting which lamps are lit
and not lit in each selector position. The chart
above shows the desired light pattern.
10. If the light pattern in the preceding table is obtained, the switches are functioning satisfactorily. If any other pattern is obtained, either the
switch assembly is faulty, or the wiring is
faulty or connected improperly to the switches.
11. A further check, using the lamp bank, is necessary to determine if the switch assembly is angularly aligned with the selector lever. Any
clockwise or counterclockwise mislocation of
the switch assembly in relation to the selector
lever shift positions will affect the sequence
and timing of the switches.
12. Place microswitch sequence gauge J 24710 on
the selector lever (Figure 310). The tool holds
the shift lever at the midpoint between two
shift positions, but provides a tolerance of
movement sufficient for complete transition
from one shift position to the next. All changes
in the light pattern should occur within the
movement tolerance. The following chart indicates the light patterns at each test position.

13. If the light pattern shown above is not obtained


but a satisfactory pattern was obtained in Step
(9), angular misalignment of the microswitch
assembly is indicated.
14. To check for the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) of misalignment of the microswitch assembly, place the selector lever at
the midpoint between N (Neutral) and 1 (First
range). Install microswitch sequence gauge
J 24710 and push the selector lever toward N
(Neutral). If Lamp C lights, the microswitch
assembly requires clockwise adjustment (as
viewed from microswitch end of shift
selector). Next, push the selector lever toward
1 (First range). If Lamps A or N light, the microswitch assembly requires counterclockwise
adjustment.
15. Make any adjustment required for microswitch
alignment by tapping the microswitch frame
with a hardwood dowel and hammer at the
points indicated in Figure 311.

3. Throw Switch Y to AUTO position. Throw
Switch X to OFF position. Connect a 12V battery to the lamp bank, observing the polarity
shown in Figure 39.
4. Couple the lamp bank connector to the connector of the shift selector assembly.
5. Check the SFE 9A fuse in the lamp bank, and
the SFE 9A fuse in the shift selector. If either is
blown, replace it. If the fuse in the lamp bank
blows when replaced, there is a ground in the
shift selector that must be corrected before proceeding.
6. Throw Switch X (Figure 39) to ON position.
7. Check the shift selector lamp. If it does not
light, a failed bulb, defective socket, open circuit, or failed resistor is indicated.

Paragraph 65).

323. TROUBLESHOOTING THE


TRANSMISSION
NOTE
The engine and transmission must be regarded as a
single package during troubleshooting. A thorough
study of the description and operation of the components and hydraulic system will be helpful in determining the cause of trouble.
a. Before Removal or Operation
1. Do not operate the equipment prior to inspecting for fluid leakage. Visually inspect all splitlines, plugs, and hose and tube connections at
the transmission and cooler. Fluid leakage at
splitlines may be caused by loose mounting
bolts or defective gaskets. Tighten all bolts,
plugs, and connections where leakage is found.
2. If inspection (Paragraph 323a) does not reveal the cause of trouble, and the equipment is
operational, further troubleshooting is necessary. Do not remove the transmission from the
equipment until the causes of trouble are
checked against Table 33, Troubleshooting.
b. During Operation. To make a thorough test of
the equipment-mounted transmission, be sure the engine is properly tuned and the fluid level in the transmission is correct. Refer to Paragraph 34 for checking the fluid level.
c. After Removal From Equipment. When the
cause of transmission malfunction is not determined
by tests or inspections before removal from the equipment, the transmission may be mounted in a test stand
(if available) and checked. Particular attention should
be given to proper fluid level and to correct linkage adjustment in every transmission test.
d. Troubleshooting Table. Table 33 outlines the
possible causes of transmission troubles and their remedies. Capital letters indicate the symptom; numerals
following the symptom indicate several possible
causes; corresponding numerals in the right column
indicate remedies for the causes and direct you to information.

c. Parts Replacement
1. Parts replacement recommendations apply to
parts that probably should be replaced because
of stress or accumulated operating hours. Table
42 is provided to assist in determining
whether a part should be used or if it should be
replaced. Parts without visible damage which
may have been subjected to adverse stress or
load should be replaced. Other parts may be replaced to ensure maximum intervals between
overhauls.

2. Parts replacement recommendations apply to
transmissions already disassembled and in the
process of being overhauled. The parts replacement chart is not intended to establish a
definite number of hours a transmission may
be operated before teardown for overhaul. It
merely specifies what parts should be replaced to restore the transmission to a likenew condition.
3. Table 42 represents a transmission having a
normal duty operation. If the operation of a
transmission can be considered as light duty, the
X under the hours may be moved one column to
the right, to allow a higher number of hours before parts replacement becomes necessary. If the
operation can be considered as heavy-duty, the
X may be moved one column to the left to allow
a lesser number of hours before parts replacement. Parts to be replaced are suggested in addition to obviously damaged or worn parts.

410. CAREFUL HANDLING


Parts and subassemblies must be handled carefully to
prevent nicking, scratching, and denting. Close fitting
parts may have proper clearance but can bind if they
are nicked, scratched, or dented. Parts which depend
upon smooth surfaces for sealing may leak if
scratched. This is very important for parts of the control valve body assembly. Valves, when dry, must
move freely in their bores by their own weight. Such
parts should be carefully handled and protected during
removal, cleaning, inspection, and installation, as well
as kept clean while in containers.

411. CLEANING, INSPECTION


a. Dirt-Free Assembly. All parts must be clean to
permit effective inspection. It is very important that no
dirt or foreign matter be allowed to enter the transmission. Even minute particles can cause the malfunction
of close-fit parts, such as valves.

* Careful consideration and interpretation must be given to the wear of the friction plates. The life of these plates is not a straight line function with
wear; the life decreases more rapidly in the second half of the allowable wear. Therefore, good judgement must be used for optimum clutch life, performance, and economy.

b. Cleaning Parts
1. Use only mineral spirits on friction-faced
clutch plates and bearings. Clean all other metallic parts thoroughly with mineral spirits or
by steam-cleaning. Do not use caustic soda solution for steam-cleaning.
2. Dry parts (except bearings) with compressed air.
Lubricate steam-cleaned parts with transmission
fluid immediately after drying.

3. Clean hydraulic passages by working a piece


of soft wire back and forth through the passages and flushing with mineral spirits. Dry the
passages with compressed air.
4. After cleaning, examine parts (especially hydraulic passages) to make certain they are entirely clean. Reclean them if necessary.
5. Use only petroleum base solvents for cleaning
oil seals. Solvents such as trichloroethylene,
benzol, acetone, and all aromatics are harmful
to seals composed of polyacrylate rubber.

c. Cleaning Bearings

Do not remove the grease in which new

WARNING!
Drying a ball or roller bearing by spinning it with
compressed air can cause the bearing to disintegrate, allowing balls or rollers to become lethal
flying projectiles. Spinning the bearing without
lubrication can also damage the bearing. To avoid
injury and component failure, never dry bearings
by spinning them with compressed air.
1. Wash bearings that have been in service thoroughly in mineral spirits.
2. If the bearings are particularly dirty or filled
with hardened grease, soak them in mineral
spirits before trying to clean them.
3. Before inspection, lubricate the bearings with
transmission fluid.
d. Inspecting Bearings
1. Inspect bearings for roughness of rotation. Replace a bearing if its rotation is still rough after
cleaning and lubrication with transmission
fluid.
2. Inspect bearings for scored, pitted, scratched,
cracked, or chipped races, and for excessive
wear of rollers or balls. If one of these defects
is found, replace the bearing.
3. Inspect bearing housing and shaft for grooved,
burred, or galled conditions that indicate that
the bearing has been turning in the bore or on
the shaft. If the damage cannot be repaired
with crocus cloth, replace the defective part.

bearings are packed.


Do not lay bearings on a dirty bench; place
them on clean, lint-free paper.
If assembly is not to be completed at once,
wrap or cover the exposed bearings with
clean lint-free paper or lint-free cloth to keep
out dust.
f. Inspecting Cast Parts, Machined Surfaces
1. Inspect bores for wear, scratches, grooves, and
dirt. Remove scratches and burrs with crocus
cloth. Remove foreign matter. Replace parts
that have scratches or grooves that cannot be
removed with crocus cloth.
2. Inspect all hydraulic passages for obstructions.
If an obstruction is found, remove it with compressed air, or by working a soft wire back and
forth through the passage and flushing it out
with cleaning solvent.
3. Inspect mounting faces for nicks, burrs,
scratches, and foreign matter. Remove such defects with crocus cloth or a soft stone. If
scratches cannot be removed with crocus cloth,
replace the part.
4. Inspect threaded openings for damaged
threads. Chase damaged threads with the correct size used tap (a new tap can cut oversize).
A threaded insert may be used if the insert will
not be subjected to hydraulic pressure. Inserts
used in high-pressure areas will leak fluid.
5. Replace housings or other cast parts that are
cracked. Magnaflux and rinse planetary carriers using approximately 8000 ampere-turns (8
amperes in 1000 turn coil) to determine if fractured. Replace the carrier if cracked.

CAUTION:
Replace any bearing that has been subjected to
metal contamination (Paragraph 38b).
e. Keeping Bearings Clean. Because the presence
of dirt or grit in bearings is usually responsible for bearing failures, it is important to keep bearings clean during removal and installation. Observance of the following rules will do much to ensure maximum bearing life.
Do not remove the wrapper from new

bearings until ready to install them.


410

NOTE:
Some torque converter turbines have casting irregularities near the outer edge of the turbine vanes.
These shut marks are not cracks and are not detrimental to the operation of the transmission.
6. Inspect all machined surfaces for damage that
could cause fluid leakage or other malfunction of the part. Rework or replace the defective parts.

Copyright 1997 General Motors Corp.

GENERAL OVERHAUL INFORMATION


7. Some parts (especially planetary carriers) may
be discolored (straw colored up to blue). If
only the part itself is discolored (e.g., a carrier
but not the spindles) the color is from manufacturing and does not indicate a problem. But,
if the parts in the area are all discolored (e.g.,
both carrier and spindles), it indicates excessive heat has occurred and the parts must be replaced.
g. Inspecting Bushings, Thrust Washers
1. Inspect bushings for scores, burrs, roundness,
sharp edges, and evidence of overheating. Remove scores with crocus cloth. Remove burrs
and sharp edges with a scraper or knife blade.
If bushing is out-of-round, deeply scored, or
excessively worn, replace it, using the proper
size replacer tool.

CAUTION:
Whenever it is necessary to cut out a defective
bushing, do not damage the bore into which the
bushing fits.
2. Inspect thrust washers for distortion, scores,
burrs, and wear. Replace if defective or worn.
h. Inspecting Seals, Gaskets
1. Replace all sealrings (except hook-type),
metal-encased seals, and composition gaskets.
2. Inspect hook-type sealrings for wear, broken
hooks, and distortion.
3. Install a new hook-type sealring if the ring
shows any wear on the OD, or if there is excessive side wear. The sides of the sealring must
be smooth within 0.005 inch (0.13 mm) maximum side wear. The sides of the shaft groove
(or the bore) into which the sealring fits should
be smooth within 50 microinches (1.27 micrometers) equivalent and square with the axis
of rotation within 0.002 inch (0.05 mm). If the
sides of the grooves have to be reworked, install a new sealring.
i. Inspecting Seal Contact Surfaces. Inspect the
surfaces that contact the sealing area or lip of any seal.
Roughness, scoring, pitting, or wear that will permit

fluid leakage or cause damage to the seal must be corrected. Replace the affected part if defects cannot be
corrected.
j. Inspecting Gears
1. Inspect gears for scuffed, nicked, burred, or
broken teeth. If the defect cannot be removed
with a soft honing stone, replace the gear.
2. Inspect gear teeth for wear that may have destroyed the original tooth shape. If this condition is found, replace the gear.
3. Inspect the thrust face of gears for scores,
scratches, and burrs. Remove such defects with
a soft honing stone. If the defect cannot be removed with a soft stone, replace the gear.
k. Inspecting Splined Parts. Inspect splined parts
for stripped, twisted, chipped, or burred splines. Remove burrs with a soft stone. Replace the part if other
defects are found. Spline wear is not considered detrimental except where it affects tightness of fit of the
splined parts.
l. Inspecting Threaded Parts. Inspect parts for
burred or damaged threads. Remove burrs with a soft
honing stone or fine file. Clean up damage on small
threads by chasing threads with a used die. Clean up
damage on large threads with a fine file. Replace part
if damage cannot be cleaned up.
m. Inspecting Snaprings. Inspect all snaprings for
nicks, distortion, and excessive wear. Replace the
snapring if any of these defects is found. The snapring
must snap tight in its groove for proper functioning.
n. Inspecting Springs. Inspect springs for signs of
overheating, permanent set, or wear due to rubbing adjacent parts. Replace the spring if any of these defects
is found. Refer to the spring chart, Table 82.
o. Inspecting Clutch Plates
1. Inspect friction-faced steel plates (internalsplined plates) for burrs, embedded metal particles, severely pitted faces, excessive wear,
cone, cracks, distortion, and damaged spline
teeth. Remove burrs using a soft honing stone.
Replace plates which have other defects.

412. ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES


a. Clutches, Pistons
1. When assembling a clutch pack, soak frictionfaced clutch plates in transmission fluid for at
least two minutes and install each plate so that
any cone is in the same direction as the cone of
the adjacent plates.
2. Apply a generous amount of transmission fluid
to the piston cavity prior to final assembly.
b. Parts Lubrication. During final assembly, lubricate all moving parts with transmission fluid. The lubricant will help protect the friction surfaces and ferrous metals until the unit is in service.

GENERAL OVERHAUL INFORMATION


c. External Plugs, Hydraulic Fittings

1. Later model transmissions and spare parts have


SAE straight-thread O-ring pressure taps, drain
plugs, and hydraulic plugs and fittings. Earlier
model transmissions and spare parts have tapered-thread NPTF pipe taps.

CAUTION:
Installing a pipe fitting or plug into a straightthread port will not provide a leak-tight joint
and will damage the O-ring sealing surface.
While damaged NPTF ports can often be repaired in place by chasing the damaged port
with the appropriate size pipe tap, more precise
machining is required for damaged straightthread ports. To avoid damage to the port and
sealing surface, confirm the compatibility of the
plug or fitting to the port before installation of
the plug or fitting.
Tighten all plugs to the torque specified in the
assembly step and on the exploded views. Inaccurate torque can cause leakage and cracked
housings. Straight-thread O-ring plugs and fittings require different installation torques than
NPTF plugs and fittings. Refer to Table 43 for
a comparison of torque specifications.

2. Determine the type of plug or fitting required


before installation. Refer to Figure 412 for
identification of plugs and fittings. Refer to the
current Parts Catalog PC1860EN when ordering plugs and fittings for your transmission.
3. New Precoated Plugs. New plugs that are precoated with Teflon need no preparation for
assembly.
4. Reused or Uncoated Plugs, Hydraulic Fittings. Prepare the threads with a small amount
of nonhardening sealant, such as Loctite Pipe
Sealant with Teflon, or equivalent. Do not use
Teflon tape.

sealrings centered in their grooves and will help protect
the parts from damage.

CAUTION:
Do not use gasket-type sealing compounds, fi-

brous greases, or nonsoluble, vegetable-base


cooking compounds any place inside the transmission or where they could be flushed into the
transmission hydraulic system.
Do not use petrolatum to retain cork gaskets.
Use only oil-soluble grease with a low melting point,
such as MIL-W-P236 or Amojell petrolatum, to temporarily retain parts, step-joint sealrings, scarf-cut sealrings, and hook-type sealrings during assembly with

e. Sealing Compounds. If adhesives or sealers are


required for the pan gasket, they may be applied on the
pan mounting flange, but only in the area outside of
the flange bead.
f. Lip-Type Seals (Metal-Encased)
1. When replacing metal-encased lip-type seals,
make sure the spring-loaded lip side is toward
the fluid to be sealed in (toward the inside of the
unit). Coat the inside of the seal with high temperature grease, such as MIL-G-81322, Mobil

Copyright 1997 General Motors Corp.

GENERAL OVERHAUL INFORMATION


Grease No. 28 (Mobil Oil Co.), Aeroshell
Grease No. 22 (Shell Oil Co.), or equivalent, to
protect the seal during shaft installation and to

413. REMOVING (OR INSTALLING)


TRANSMISSION
CAUTION:

CAUTION:
Do not use high temperature grease on other
transmission internal parts.
2. Precoated Seals. The circumference of some
seals is precoated with a dry sealant. The sealant is usually colored for easy identification.
The precoated seals do not require any additional sealant before installation.
3. Uncoated Seals. Prepare the circumference of
uncoated seals with a nonhardening sealant before installation.
g. Interference-Fit Parts. Assembly of interference-fit parts may be accomplished by heating and
chilling the respective parts. The female part can be
heated in an oven or oil bath to 300F (149C), and the
male part can be chilled in dry ice. Either one or both
parts may require a thermal process. However, if the
chill process is used for a ferrous alloy part, coat the
components with transmission fluid to inhibit rust due
to frost and moisture.

To avoid transmission housing damage and fluid


leakage, refer to Paragraph 412c prior to removing or installing drain plugs, pressure taps,
and hydraulic plugs and fittings.

a. Drain Transmission Fluid. Before removing the


transmission from the vehicle, drain the fluid (Paragraph 39). For better drainage, the transmission
should be warm and allowed to drain overnight. Replace the drain plug.
b. Check Linkages and Lines. Make sure that all
linkages, controls, cooler lines, modulator actuator cable or hydraulic line, temperature connection, input
and output couplings, and mounting bolts are disconnected before transmission removal (also, fluid filler
tube and other equipment such as attached parking
brake handle). Carefully place all electrical and hydraulic lines out of the removal path and cover all
openings to keep out dirt.

NOTE:
h. Sleeve-Type Bearings. The use of a locking compound such as Loctite Sleeve Retainer 601, or equivalent, is recommended to retain bushings and sleevetype bearings that have press-fit tolerances.
i. Bearings (Ball or Roller)
1. When installing a bearing on a shaft, heat the
bearing to 200F (93C) on an electric hot
plate or in a hot transmission fluid bath. Bearings must be heated long enough for sufficient
expansion for installation. Heating time is determined by the size of the bearing. Forty-five
minutes is sufficient for the largest bearing in
these transmissions. Use the proper size installation sleeve and a press to seat the bearing.
2. If a bearing must be removed or installed without a sleeve, press only on the race which is
adjacent to the mounting surface. If a press is
not available, seat the bearing with a drift and
hammer, driving against the supported race.

Position the jack or hoist sling relative to the center


of gravity of the transmission.

c. Remove, Clean Transmission. Since applications differ, consult the equipment service manual for
specific instructions for transmission removal and installation. Clean the exterior of the transmission. If
steam-cleaning is used, disassemble and dry the transmission immediately because condensation allowed to
remain in the transmission could cause rust.
d. Install Transmission
1. At installation, reconnect all items. Use Loctite
Pipe Sealant with Teflon, or equivalent, for
thread sealing on hydraulic, air, and other
threaded fittings. Do not use Teflon tape. Loose
slivers of tape can plug orifices, cause valves to
stick, or interfere with check ball operation.

a. Removal of Flanges
SCRIBE MARKS

1. If present, flatten the corners of the lockstrip


and remove two bolts, lockstrip, retainer
washer, and shims (Figure 413).
2. Some flanges are retained by a self-locking nut.
Before removing the nut, check to see how
many scribe marks have been cut into the
wrenching flats (Figure 414). If there are five
scribe marks, remove the nut and throw it away.
3. If there are less than five scribe marks, or none
at all, remove all dirt and any burrs from the exposed shaft threads. Then, only loosen the nut
until there is approximately 116 inch (1.59 mm)
gap between the nut and flange.
4. Check the running torque while removing the
nut. Reuse the nut only if it meets the following requirements.
The running torque must be at least 400 lb

in. (45 N.m) the first time the nut is


removed (no notches).

7. Provide a means for preventing flange rotation.


8. Remove the flange by tightening the puller
screw against the spacer and shaft.
b. Installation of Flanges
1. Make sure the output shaft is in its most outward position and the bearing between the
shaft shoulder and the flange is tight against
the shaft shoulder. A typical method is to insert
a sleeve over the shaft and pull it tight with
washer and bolts (Figure 47).
2. Coat the shaft splines and the lip of the output
seal with a thin layer of bearing grease.
3. Install the flange on the shaft, making sure that
the flange is tight against its locating shoulder.
The flange should slide freely to its assembled
position.

1. Insert a thin, bladed tool into the sealring


groove, and work one edge of the sealring out,
where it can be grasped with the fingers. It is
recommended that all sealrings be replaced at
transmission overhaul.
2. Clean the groove thoroughly, and make sure
there are no burrs or rough spots in the groove
sides or bottom.
b. Installation

CAUTION:
If lip-type sealrings are installed incorrectly, the
clutches will not operate properly.
1. Lightly coat the piston housing and the piston
hub seal surface with transmission fluid or oilsoluble grease, but do not pack the sealring
groove with grease.
NOTE:

4. If an output nut is used, coat the threads of the


nut with molybdenum disulfide grease and install the flange retaining washer and nut.
Tighten the nut to 7001000 lb ft (9501355
N.m) (Figure 415). Do not reuse a nut with
five scribe marks (refer to Paragraph 416a).

For ease of installation, Teflon sealrings can be


heated in a transmission fluid bath to 150200F
(6593C) for approximately fifteen minutes immediately before installation.

5. If washer and bolts are used, install washer and


free-running bolts to draw the flange down into
its final position. Do not use the lock bolts that
will be used at final assembly. Remove the freerunning bolts and install the lockstrip (and

clutch firmly against the guide stop screw, and
drill a 332 inch (4.9 mm) hole through the clutch
and/or rotary key. Install rotary key pin 43. Remove the assembly from the drill guide.
15. Install 4-pin connector 34 into the shift selector
body (Figure 612). Push the connector into the
mounting face of the body until it is flush with
the adjacent area. Note there is a projection on
the connector body that indexes with a notch in
the shift selector body for angular alignment of
the connector.
16. Install 21116 inch sealring 19 onto mounting
bracket 22 (Figure 68).
17. Install the assembled body section of the shift
selector assembly onto the assembled switch
section (Figure 66). Install three 516-18 x 58
inch socket head screws 9 and lockwashers 10
to retain the two sections.
18. Install fuse holder assembly 63 into body cover
69 (Figure 66). Retain it with nut 66. Connect
the fuse lead (coming from M in the 16-pin
connector, through the 4-pin connector) to the
single lead of the fuse holder (Figure 610).
Connect the power lead (coming from the lead
in the 4-pin socket that connects to the common
terminals of switches 3, 5, 6, and 8) to the black
lead of the fuse holder. Lightly lubricate the
sealring on the inner clutch with grease.
19. Install cover 69 onto the body (Figure 65). Retain the cover with one 14-20 x 1 inch screw 67
and lockwasher 68.
20. If necessary, install a new indicator 70 onto indicator support 71 (Figure 65). Install the indicator support onto the body cover. Apply a
small quantity of grease to the teeth of the inner
clutch. Position clutch spring 72 in the center
recess of the inner clutch.
21. If guide pins 59 were removed from the solenoid housing, install new pins (Figure 65).
Press the pins until they are flush with the surface of the housing inner hub.
22. Install 218 inch sealring 61 onto solenoid housing 60 (Figure 65). Coat the outer surface of
outer clutch 73 lightly with grease. Install the
outer clutch, flat end first, into the solenoid
housing. The clutch must move freely when engaged with the guide pins.

REBUILD OF SUBASSEMBLIES
23. Install the assembled solenoid housing onto the
indicator support (Figure 65).
24. Install two 14-20 x 134 inch screws 75 and lockwashers 74 to retain the solenoid housing (Figure 64).
25. Install override spring 58 into the center bore of
the solenoid housing.
26. Install spring seat 57 and retainer ring 56 (Figure 64). Install 1516 inch sealring 55 into the
housing counterbore.
27. Check the angular position of the solenoid
housing (Figure 613). Push the spring seat
downward. While holding the seat downward,
push the shift handle in the upshift direction
against a gate pin. Then push the handle in the
opposite direction. The inhibitor clutch should
engage, but should allow the shift handle to
move away from the gate pin 0.0400.060 inch
(1.011.52 mm) when pull force on the handle
knob does not exceed 15 lb (67 N). This 0.060
inch (1.52 mm) maximum movement applies to
the gate pin where the least movement is found
when all positions are checked. As a result of
tolerances in manufacturing, clearance at some
gate pins can exceed 0.060 inch (1.52 mm)
when the clearance is correctly adjusted at the
position where least movement occurs. Check
the movement at all gate pins.

28. To adjust the solenoid housing, loosen two


screws 75, rotate the housing, and re-tighten
the screws. Too much clearance requires a
counterclockwise adjustment of the solenoid
housing to reduce the clearance. When clearance exceeds the maximum, a clockwise adjustment may be necessary to engage the
inhibitor properly. Too little clearance requires
clockwise adjustment of the solenoid housing.
29. Install solenoid coil 54 into the solenoid housing (Figure 64). Thread the solenoid leads
through two holes in the solenoid housing, indicator support 71, and body cover 69 until
they can be pulled out of the bottom opening in
the body (Figure 63).
30. Install solenoid plunger 52 and washer 53 into
the solenoid coil (Figure 63). Install solenoid
housing gasket 50 and cover 49. Retain the
cover with three 8-32 x 12 inch screws 47 and
lockwashers 48 (Figure 62).
31. With the solenoid and cover installed, check
the shift handle for freedom of movement in
both upshift and downshift directions. Any tendency to catch during downshift movement indicates interference between the inner and
outer clutch teeth. This may be corrected by removing the cover, gasket, solenoid plunger,
and washer, and by rotating the adjusting screw
(Figure 63) clockwise (inward) until there is
no interference. Adjust the screw one turn at a
time and re-check for clutch interference after
each adjustment.
32. At this stage of assembly, there are five unconnected leads at the bottom of the shift selector
assembly. Four are light color; one is black
(Figure 63). Attach the two solenoid leads to
the proper two wiring harness leads, insulating
each connection with a short length of heatshrink tubing.
33. Replace bulb 44, sealring 45, and resistor 41 in
light socket plate assembly 40 (Figure 62).
Connect the lead on the plate assembly with
the remaining free lead (black) in the shift selector assembly, insulating the connection with
heat-shrink tubing.

REBUILD OF SUBASSEMBLIES
1. For manual-electric and SPG-control models
(Foldout 21), if orifice plugs 89 were removed,
install new ones 0.0000.020 inch (0.000.50
mm) below the surface of plate 21.
2. Install the O-ring seal into the groove on the
underside of each solenoid 24.
3. Always mount Solenoid E as shown in Figure
631 (lead side toward center). Turning this solenoid end-for-end may partially close the passageway under the solenoid and increase the
time required to exhaust solenoid-regulated
pressure from the top of the shift valve, giving
erratic shift quality.
4. Install five (models with lock-in-neutral) or
seven (models with lock-in-range) solenoids 24
(Figure 631), and retain them with 14-20 x 34
inch bolts 23 and lockwashers 22. Leave one
bolt 23 and lockwasher 22 out of Solenoid B
(Figure 631) until the ground wire terminal is
installed. Refer to Step (8).
5. Tighten the bolts retaining the solenoids to
911 lb ft (1215 Nm).
6. Install gasket 17 onto solenoid plate 21 (Figure
631).

CAUTION:
Do not damage the thread and contact pins of the
electrical connector.

the hole in the cover and tighten the retaining
nut to 1520 lb ft (2127 Nm).
8. Place cover 19 into position near the solenoid plate and connect the wiring harness
ground terminal by installing the remaining
14-20 x 34 inch bolt 23 and lockwasher 22
into Solenoid B (Figure 631). Tighten the
bolt to 911 lb ft (1215 Nm).
9. Connect the wiring harness leads to the solenoid leads as shown in Figure 631. Re-check
the lead connections to ensure they are correct. Bind each of the leads to the solenoids,
using cable ties.
10. Install cover 19 onto the gasket and plate. Be certain no leads are pinched between the cover and

plate. The weight of the cover should close the


gap between the gasket and cover no force is
required. Retain the cover with two 10-24 x 1
inch flat head screws 20. Tighten the screws to
2436 lb in. (34 Nm). Proceed to Step (19).
11. For electronic control models (Foldout 22), if
orifice plugs 32 were removed, install new
ones 0.0000.020 inch (0.000.50 mm) below
the surface of plate 31.
12. Install an O-ring 29 into the groove in each solenoid 28.
13. Always mount Solenoid E as shown in Figure
632. Turning this solenoid end-for-end may
partially close the passageway under the solenoid and increase the time required to exhaust
solenoid-regulated pressure from the top of the
shift valve, giving erratic shift quality.
14. Install seven solenoids 28 (models with lock-inrange) or five solenoids 28 (models with lockin-neutral), and retain them with 14-20 x 78 inch
bolts 27 and flat washers 26 (Figure 632).
Tighten bolts 27 to 911 lb ft (1314 Nm).
15. If wiring harness 17 was removed, be sure Oring 22 is in place and install the new wiring
harness into cover 25, aligning the flat on the
connector with the flat in the cover. Tighten the
wiring harness nut to 1520 lb ft (2127 Nm).
16. Install cover gasket 24 (Figure 632).
17. Hold the cover near the solenoid plate assembly and, by hand, carefully install the harness
leads onto the solenoids (Figure 632).
18. Install cover 25 onto the gasket and plate. Be certain no leads are pinched between the cover and
plate. The weight of the cover should close the
gap between the gasket and cover no force is
required. Retain the cover with two 10-24 x 1
inch flat head screws 33. Tighten the screws to
2436 lb in. (34 Nm).
19. For disassembly and assembly purposes only,
the configuration of the valves and components
in valve body 44 (Foldout 21) is the same as for
valve body 53 (Foldout 22). Refer to the current
Parts Catalog PC1860EN for the correct components for your specific valve body assembly.

WARNING!

NOTE:

Interference between the main-pressure transfer


tube assembly hose and the equipment causes
binding and abrasion of the hose. Failure of an
abraded hose releases pressurized, heated fluid
(pressures and temperatures in the assembly can
exceed 350 psi (2413 kPa) and 275F (135C)). To
help avoid injury due to hose failure, prevent
physical contact between the hose and equipment
when installing the transfer tube assembly.

For models equipped with non-electric lockup (Fig-

58, two sealrings 60, and four split flanges 59
and retain them with eight 716-14 x 114 inch
bolts 61 and lockwashers 62. Be sure the
flanges and sealrings are properly seated.
Shake the hose slightly and allow it to settle
into position, free of binding.
18. While holding the hose in its free position,
tighten bolts 61 to 4250 lb ft (5767 Nm).

OWNER ASSISTANCE

The satisfaction and goodwill of the owners of Allison


transmissions are of primary concern to Allison Transmission Division (ATD), its distributors, and their
dealers.
As an owner of an Allison transmission, you have service locations throughout the world eager to meet your
parts and service needs with:
Expert service by trained personnel
Emergency service 24 hours a day in many

tance, contact the Allison Transmission Regional


Office responsible for your local distributor (see
maps in Warranty Manual). You will be assisted by a
member of the Regional Service Managers staff.
For prompt assistance, please have the following information available.
Name and location of authorized distributor

or dealer
Type and make of equipment

areas
Complete parts support
Sales teams to help determine your transmission requirements
Product information and literature
Refer to a current North American Parts and Service
Directory SA2229EN.

Transmission model number, serial number,

Normally, any situation that arises in connection with


the sale, operation, or service of your transmission will
be handled by the distributor or dealer in your area.
Check the telephone directory for the Allison Transmission service outlet nearest you.

Chronological summary of units history

and assembly number if equipped with


electronic controls, also provide the ECU
assembly number
Transmission delivery date and accumu-

lated miles and/or hours of operation


Nature of problem

Step Three If you contacted a regional office and


you are still not satisfied, present the entire matter in
writing or by phone to the Home Office:

We recognize, however, that despite the best intentions


of all concerned, misunderstandings may occur. To
further assure your complete satisfaction, we have developed the following three-step procedure in the
event you have a problem that has not been handled
satisfactorily.

Manager Warranty Administration PF9

P. O. Box 894
Indianapolis, Indiana 46206-0894
Phone: (317) 2423538

Step One Discuss your problem with a member


of management from the distributorship or dealership. Complaints are frequently the result of a breakdown in communication and can be quickly resolved
by a member of management. If you have already discussed the problem with the Sales or Service Manager,
contact the General Manager. All ATD dealers are associated with an ATD distributor. If your problems
originate with a dealer, explain the matter to a distributorship member of management with whom the dealer
has his service agreement. The dealer will provide his
ATD distributors name, address, and telephone number on request.

The inclusion of all pertinent information will assist


the Home Office in expediting the matter. If an additional review by the Home Office of all the facts involved indicates that some further action can be taken,
the Regional Office will be advised.

Step Two If your problem cannot be readily resolved at the distributor level without additional assis-

When contacting the Regional or Home Office, please


keep in mind that ultimately your problem will likely
