Why do I need a half stick on my transmission?
You want a half-stick reading because fluid expands as it warms. Operating temperature is 150 to 170 degrees F. If (with a fluid reading on the dipstick) your transmission doesn’t engage, control pressure likely isn’t reaching servos and clutches.

What should you never do with an automatic transmission?
Never place the car in gear with a fast idle It’s never a good idea to shift your vehicle into gear, whether from “Neutral” or “Park”, when the engine is idling fast. Shifting into “Drive” or “Reverse” can cause a sudden, jarring movement on the transmission which increases the stress on the transmission bands and clutch plates.

What causes automatic transmission to skip second gear?
The transmission skips second gear, shifts from first gear to third gear and the “service engine soon” or “service engine soon” MIL is illuminated. Scan the computer to help locate the transmission control solenoid that is malfunctioning. A common complaint with automatic transmissions is them leaking fluid.
What should I do if my transmission is not working?
If you’ve already inspected the fluid, you can try resetting it. To do this, detach the battery and let it stand for thirty minutes. Then, reattach and allow the system to reset itself. This usually takes around thirty minutes. If this doesn’t work either, then it’s time to take it to a mechanic.
How does the Allison trans shift selector work?
It uses a cable shifter for gears 1 thru 4. If the TCM errs out or fails for any reason the transmission defaults to 3rd gear in converter mode when shifted into any forward gear, making a dynaflow out of it. Now go underneath snd have someone run thru the gears with the engine off.
Who is the world leader in fully automatic transmissions?

Where does the Allison automatic get its power from?
The Allison Automatic may not always get it’s power from “the battery” but it should be on it’s own full time power supply. They do this because they want the maximum amount of power to it without the OEM wiring giving it a voltage (eratic symptoms) drop. They still have a key on feed wire. It just excites the ECM’s internal relay.
