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.

When checking the transmission fluid level, be sure that the parking brake and/
or emergency brakes are set and properly engaged, and the wheels are blocked.
Unexpected and possible sudden movement may occur if these precautions are
not taken.
While conducting a stall check, the vehicle must be positively prevented from
moving. Apply the parking and service brake, and block the wheels securely.
Warn personnel to keep clear of the vehicle and its travel path. Failure to do so
can cause serious injury.
Do not burn discarded Teflon seals; toxic gases are produced by burning.
Never dry bearings with compressed air. A spinning bearing can disintegrate
allowing balls or rollers to become lethal flying projectiles. Also, spinning a
bearing without lubrication can damage the bearing.
Do not position the transmission so that its rear end is lower than its front end.
The components in the rear of the transmission are not secured. These
components could fall out and cause personal injury and/or damage to the parts.
Certain control valve body components are spring-loaded and must be
restrained while retaining pins or bolts are removed.
The main-pressure regulator valve spring is under approximately 65 lbs (290 kN)
compression.
Hydraulic fluid under 40 psi (280 kPa) pressure may be trapped in the output
retarder accumulators. Personal injury can occur if this pressure is accidently
released.
Accumulator piston springs are highly compressed. Use extreme caution during
removal of the accumulator cover. Personal injury can occur if the bolts are
removed without properly relieving the spring force.
The retarder piston return spring is highly compressed. Use extreme caution
during removal of the spring. Personal injury can occur if proper removal
procedures are not followed.

SCOPE OF MANUAL

3. Required tools and fixtures are available as


outlined in the Service Manual.

a. Coverage
1. This Service Manual describes the operation,
maintenance, and overhaul procedures for the
MT 640, MT(B) 643, MT 650, and MT(B) 653
Series automatic transmissions (Figures 11
through 18). Descriptions of the major components of the transmissions, the function and
operation of the hydraulic system, wear limits,
and inspection procedures are included. Torque
specifications are given with each assembly
step and on the exploded view foldouts at the
back of this manual.
2. Because of similarities between models, instructions apply generally to all models. Where
procedures vary between models, instructions
identify specific models.
b. Illustrations. Overhaul procedures are illustrated
mainly by photographs. Line drawings are used to supplement detailed assembly procedures; cross sections
show torque paths and the relationship of assembled
parts. Cross sections, color-coded hydraulic schematics, and exploded views are on foldouts at the back of
the manual. The foldouts may be opened for reference
while studying the text.

4. Reasonable and prudent maintenance practices are utilized.


NOTE:
Service organizations and individuals are encouraged to contact their local Allison Transmission Distributor for information and guidance on any of the
tasks outlined herein.

12. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION


Supplementary information will be issued, as required,
to cover any improvements made after publication of
this manual. Check with your dealer or distributor to
ensure you have the latest information.

13. ORDERING PARTS


a. Transmission Nameplate. The nameplate (Figure 19) is located on the right-rear side of the transmission. The nameplate shows the transmission serial
number, part number (assembly number), and model
designation, all three of which must be supplied when
ordering replacement parts or requesting service information.

c. Maintenance Information. Each task outlined in


this Service Manual has been successfully accomplished by service organizations and individuals. It is
not expected that every service organization or individual will possess the required special tooling, training, or experience to perform all the tasks outlined.
However, any task outlined herein may be performed
if the following conditions are met:

b. Parts Catalog. Do not order by illustration item


numbers on exploded views in this manual. All replacement parts should be ordered from your distributor or dealer. Parts are listed in the current Parts Catalog PC1316EN.

1. The organization or individual has the required


knowledge of the task through:

a. Number of Speeds. The MT(B) 640, 643 have


four forward speeds and one reverse. The MT(B) 650,
653 have five forward speeds and one reverse. Shifting
within the forward ranges selected by the operator is
fully automatic.

Formal

instruction in an Allison or
Distributor training facility.

On-the-job instruction by an Allison or

Distributor representative.
Experience in performing the task.

2. The work environment is suitable to prevent


contamination or damage to transmission parts
or assemblies.

14. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

b. Torque Converter and Lockup Clutch. An


Allison three-element torque converter (Foldout 1 or
2) transmits power from the engine to the transmission
gearing. The torque converter serves as both a fluid
coupling and a torque multiplier. MT 600 Series
transmissions also include a lockup clutch in the
torque converter assembly.

d. Output Retarder. The MT 600 Series retarder


provides power absorption to slow vehicle forward
motion. It is located at the rear of the transmission as
an integral part of the transmission (Foldout 1 or 2).
The overall transmission length, from the flywheel
housing mounting face to the output flange face, remains essentially the same with the addition of the
output retarder.

SCOPE

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.

b. Planetary Gear Set Designations (Figure 21).


The MT 640 and 643 have three planetary gear sets,
designated as front, center, and rear, while the MT 650
and 653 have four. The additional MT 650 and 653
gear set is the low planetary. Each gear set in the same
physical location has the same name, regardless of
model or clutch drive function.

23. MOUNTING
a. To Engine. Transmission housing 16 (Foldout
10,A) is machined to provide an SAE 2 mounting
flange. This flange is mated with an SAE 2 bolt circle
at the rear of the engine.

22. DESIGNATION OF CLUTCHES


AND PLANETARY GEAR SETS
a. Clutch Designations (Figure 21). The MT 640
and 643 have five clutches and the MT 650 and 653
have six. The additional MT 650 and 653 clutch is the
low clutch. Each clutch in the same physical location
has the same name, regardless of model or clutch drive
function.

b. To Vehicle. Two side-mount pads are provided at


the front of the transmission housing. Each pad has
four 12-13 threaded holes. A top-mount pad is provided on the transmission rear cover (MT 640, 643) or
adapter housing (MT 650, 653). This pad has two 58-11
threaded holes.

c. Output Retarder Mount. Transmissions with the
output retarder require special attention when mounting. The additional weight of the retarder makes it necessary to overhang the transmission behind the engine
using rear support pads. Each rear pad in the retarder
housing has two M12 x 1.75-6H threaded holes that are
1.18 inches (30 mm) deep. Each top pad has one M14 x
2-6H threaded hole that is also 1.18 inches (30 mm)
deep. The converter housing side-mount pads cannot be
used with MTB 653 direct-mount units. Only remotemount units and MTB 643 direct-mount units may be
installed using the side-mount pad on the converter
housing with a rear support.

24. INPUT DRIVE


A flexplate assembly (supplied by the vehicle manufacturer) connects the engine to the torque converter
pump cover 6 (Foldout 6), which is the input member
of the transmission.

25. TRANSMISSION HOUSING


Transmission housing 16 (Foldout 10,A) is cast aluminum. It is machined to receive the clutches, rear cover,
adapter housing, front and center supports, control
valve, and oil pan. A power takeoff mounting pad is
provided on the right side.

26. TORQUE CONVERTER


a. Description (Foldout 6). The torque converter
consists of three elements: pump assembly 42, stator
assembly 24, and turbine assembly 20. These are
vaned elements which are cast aluminum. Pump assembly 42 is the input member and is driven by the engine. Turbine 20 is splined to the forward clutch and
turbine shaft assembly 2 (Foldout 7,B). Stator assembly 24 (Foldout 6) is the reaction (torque multiplying)
element. The stator is supported on freewheel roller
race 32, which is splined to valve and front support assembly 22 (Foldout 7,A). This stator arrangement provides an over-running clutch which permits the stator
to rotate freely in one direction and lockup in the opposite direction.
b. Operation (Foldout 6)
1. The torque converter assembly is continually
filled with fluid, which provides converter
cooling and lubrication. Transmission fluid is
22

the power transmitting medium in the torque


converter. When the engine drives the converter, the pump vanes throw fluid against the
turbine vanes. The impact of the fluid against
the turbine vanes rotates 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 minimal. At high engine speed
the impact of fluid on the turbine is much
greater, and high torque is produced.
3. Fluid thrown into the turbine flows to the stator
vanes. The stator vanes change the direction of
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.
The redirection of the fluid by the stator 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 speed approaches pump speed.
5. When turbine speed approaches pump speed,
fluid flowing to the stator begins striking 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 main
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. Finally, it acts as a fluid
coupling to efficiently transmit engine torque
to the transmission gearing during drive, other
than idle or starting.

27. LOCKUP CLUTCH


a. Description (Foldout 6). The lockup clutch consists of three main elements: piston 10, clutch plate 12,
and backplate 14. These elements are located between
the torque converter cover and the torque converter
turbine. The piston and backplate rotate with the con-

Copyright 1996 General Motors Corp.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


verter pump. The clutch plate is located between the
piston and the backplate and is splined to the converter
turbine.

2. Piston 16 is retained in housing and shaft assembly 3 by piston return spring 17, spring retainer 18, and snapring 19.

b. Operation (Foldout 6). The engagement of the


lockup clutch is controlled by the lockup relay valve
which derives its lockup signal from the modulated
lockup valve. Clutch-apply pressure compresses the
lockup clutch plate between the piston and backplate,
locking all three together. The converter pump and turbine are locked together and provide a direct drive
from the engine to the transmission gearing. As rotational speed of the output shaft decreases, the relay
valve automatically releases the lockup clutch. Refer
to Paragraph 224l for explanation of the hydraulic action.

3. The external tangs of clutch plates 22 engage


the slots in the housing and shaft assembly.
The internal splines of clutch plates 23 engage
forward clutch hub 21, which is splined to
main shaft assembly 33 (Foldout 9,A or 9,B).
Clutch plates 23 are held in place by fourth
clutch driving hub 24, which is retained by
snapring 25. PTO drive gear 13 is secured to
forward clutch housing 6 by snapring 12.
4. For transmissions after S/N 49489, housing 6
contains centrifugal valve 11, valve spring 10,
and valve plug 9. Pin 8 retains these parts in
the housing.

28. OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY


b. Operation (Foldout 7,B)
a. Description (Foldout 7,A). Oil pump assembly 4
consists of three main elements: drive gear 9, driven
gear 8, and pump body 7. The oil pump assembly is
bolted to front support assembly 22.
b. Operation (Foldout 7,A). When the torque converter rotates, its rear hub drives pump drive gear 9.
Gear 9 is in mesh with driven gear 8. As the gears rotate, they draw fluid into the oil pump and move the
fluid into the hydraulic system.

29. OIL PUMP AND FRONT


SUPPORT ASSEMBLY
Oil pump and front support assembly 1 (Foldout 7,A)
is bolted to the transmission housing. The front support provides the ground sleeve for the torque converter and supports the forward clutch and turbine
shaft. The rear side of the front support contains bores
for main-pressure regulator valve 13, converter-pressure regulator valve 25, and lockup valve 17.

210. FORWARD CLUTCH


AND TURBINE SHAFT
a. Description (Foldout 7,B)
1. Forward clutch and turbine shaft assembly 2
connects the converter turbine to the clutches
and gearing in the transmission.

1. Housing 6 rotates when the converter turbine


rotates. Fourth clutch driving hub 24 also rotates. Fourth clutch internal-splined plates 4
(Foldout 8,A) are splined to the driving hub
and rotate with it.
2. When hydraulic pressure is applied to the piston bore in forward clutch housing 6 (Foldout
7,B), piston 16 compresses plates 22 and 23
against fourth clutch driving hub 24. This locks
forward clutch hub 21 to forward clutch housing 6. Hub 21 is splined to main shaft assembly
33 (Foldout 9,A or 9,B).
3. The forward clutch is applied only in forward
range operation, and is always paired with another clutch (either first, second, third, fourth,
or low (MT 650, 653 only)). When the converter turbine rotates and the forward clutch is
applied, the main shaft assembly also rotates.
This drives components of the gear unit, which
drives the output shaft in any forward range.
The specific forward range depends upon
which additional clutch is applied.
4. In neutral or reverse operation, the forward
clutch is not applied. Torque from the converter turbine rotates only forward clutch housing 6 (Foldout 7,B) and fourth clutch driving
hub 24.

MT(B) 640, 643, 650, 653 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS


5. For transmissions after S/N 49489, centrifugal
valve 11 provides a safety feature to prevent
over-speeding the torque converter. When the
forward clutch housing exceeds a predetermined
rotational speed, the centrifugal valve lifts from
its seat and exhausts the forward clutch.

211. FOURTH CLUTCH


a. Description (Foldout 8,A)
1. The fourth clutch includes housing assembly
13, piston 9 or 10, piston return spring 8, four
internal-splined plates 4, four external-tanged
plates 5, spring retainer 7, snapring 6, backplate 3, and snapring 2.

(Foldout 7,B) drives main shaft assembly 33


(Foldout 9,A or 9,B). The result is direct drive to
the output shaft.
4. In reverse range operation, the fourth clutch
and the first clutch are applied (the forward
clutch is released). The fourth clutch operates
as described in Step (4). Engagement of the
first clutch (Foldout 11,A) causes an interaction between the planetaries that results in reverse rotation of the output shaft.

212. THIRD CLUTCH, CENTER


SUPPORT, AND SECOND CLUTCH
a. Description (Foldout 8,B)

2. Piston 9 or 10 is installed in housing assembly


13 and is retained by spring 8, spring retainer
7, and snapring 6. External-tanged plates 5 engage slots in clutch housing assembly 13. Internal-splined plates 4 engage splines in fourth
clutch driving hub 24 (Foldout 7,B). Plates 4
and 5 are held in place by backplate 3 and
snapring 2.
3. The hub of clutch housing 13 splines onto sun
gear shaft 27 (Foldout 9,A or 9,B). The outer
splines of clutch housing 13 engage internalsplined plates 3 (Foldout 8,B) of the third
clutch.
b. Operation (Foldout 8,A)
1. Internal-splined clutch plates 4 rotate whenever turbine shaft 5 (Foldout 7,B) and forward
clutch housing 6 rotate.
2. When the fourth clutch is applied, piston 9 or 10
(Foldout 8,A) compresses plates 4 and 5 against
backplate 3, locking plates 4 and 5 together and,
in turn, to clutch housing 13. Clutch housing 13
rotates with the turbine shaft.

1. The third clutch is forward of center support


housing assembly 13, and the second clutch is
rearward of the center support housing assembly. Each clutch has six clutch plates.
2. The third clutch includes items 1 through 11.
The second clutch includes items 17 through
28. Center support housing assembly 13 serves
both clutches. The front side of the center support housing is bored to receive third clutch
piston 9. The rear side is bored to receive second clutch piston 19. Center support housing
assembly 13 includes passages which direct
fluid to both of these clutches, and provides
lubrication to the fourth clutch assembly.
3. External-tanged plates 4 and 26 engage slots in
the transmission housing and are always stationary. Internal-splined plates 3 of the third
clutch engage splines in fourth clutch housing
assembly 13 (Foldout 8,A). Internal-splined
plates 27 of the second clutch engage splines in
front planetary carrier assembly 4 (Foldout 9,A
or 9,B).
b. Operation of Third Clutch (Foldout 8,B)

3. The fourth clutch is engaged during fourth


range (MT 640, 643), fifth range (MT 650,
653), and reverse range operation. In fourth (or
fifth) range, the fourth and forward clutches are
engaged. Clutch housing 13 drives sun gear
and shaft assembly 23 (Foldout 9,A or 9,B) at
the same speed that forward clutch hub 21
24

1. When the third clutch is applied, piston 9 compresses plates 3 and 4 against backplate 2. This
locks plates 3 (which are splined to the fourth
clutch housing) to plates 4 which are stationary. This holds the fourth clutch housing stationary.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


2. Sun gear shaft assembly 23 (Foldout 9,A or
9,B) is held stationary through the splines of
the clutch housing hub. This causes a reaction
within the planetary carrier assemblies which
produces a third (MT 640, 643) or fourth (MT
650, 653) range ratio at the output shaft. Input
torque for the gearing is transmitted through
the engaged forward clutch and the transmission main shaft.
c. Operation of Second Clutch (Foldout 8,B)
1. When the second clutch is applied, piston 19
compresses plate 26 and 27 against backplate
28. This locks plates 27, which are splined to
front planetary carrier 4 (Foldout 9,A or 9,B),
to plates 26 (Foldout 8,B) which are stationary.
2. The front planetary carrier is held stationary.
This causes a compound reaction within the
planetary gearing which produces a second
range (MT 640, 643) or third range (MT 650,
653) ratio at the output shaft. Input torque for
the gearing is transmitted through the engaged
forward clutch and transmission main shaft.

213. FIRST CLUTCH


a. Description (Foldout 11,A)
1. The first clutch includes piston 11, six internalsplined plates 3, and six external-tanged plates 4.
2. In the MT 640, 643, piston 11 is positioned in
rear cover 6 (Foldout 12,A). In the MT 650,
653, piston 11 is positioned in adapter housing
3 (Foldout 11,B). The external tangs of plates 4
(Foldout 11,A) engage slots in the transmission
housing and are always held stationary. The
splines of plates 3 engage rear planetary ring
gear 5 (MT 650, 653) or 14 (MT 640, 643).
Piston 11 is retained by twenty-six piston return springs 10, retainer 9, and snapring 8.
b. Operation (Foldout 11,A)
1. When the first clutch is applied, piston 11 compresses plates 3 against plates 4. This locks internal-splined plates 3 to external-tanged plates
4, which are stationary. Plates 3 are splined to

ring gear 5 or 14, and hold the ring gear stationary.


2. The stationary ring gear causes a reaction within
the planetary gearing to produce either first
range (MT 640, 643), second range (MT 650,
653), or reverse, depending on the driving member in the gear set. In first range (MT 640, 643),
the driving member is rear planetary sun gear 37
(Foldout 9,A), which is driven by the transmission main shaft and the engaged forward clutch.
In second range (MT 650, 653), the driving
member is rear planetary sun gear 36 (Foldout
9,B). First (or second) range is produced by the
action of one planetary. In reverse range, the
driving member is sun gear shaft assembly 23
(Foldout 9,A or 9,B) which is driven by the engaged fourth clutch and the forward clutch
housing. Reverse range is accomplished by
compound action of two planetaries.

214. PLANETARY GEAR UNIT


NOTE:
Because gearing components for MT 640, 643 and
MT 650, 653 models are nearly identical, most references below are to the MT 640, 643 illustration
(Foldout 9,A). The MT 650, 653 gearing is shown in
Foldout 9,B.
a. Description (Foldout 9,A)
1. The gear unit and main shaft assembly includes all of the gears in the transmission, except the rear planetary ring gear 5 or 14 (Foldout 11,A) and the low range gearing (Foldout
11,B).
2. Three planetary gear sets are included in the
assembly. These are called front planetary, center planetary, and rear planetary. The planetary
sets are so designated because of their positions in relation to the transmission and to each
other.
3. The front planetary includes sun gear 2, front
carrier assembly 4, and ring gear 14. The center planetary includes sun gear and shaft assembly 23, planetary carrier assembly 15, and
ring gear 32. The rear planetary includes sun

MT(B) 640, 643, 650, 653 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS


gear 37 and carrier assembly 40. Also included
is ring gear 14 (Foldout 11,A) for MT 640, 643
models or ring gear 5 for MT 650, 653 models.
4. The three planetaries are connected by sun
gear shaft assembly 23 (Foldout 9,A), main
shaft assembly 33, and planetary connecting
drum 30. This interconnection of planetary input, reaction, and output components produces
four forward speeds and one reverse speed.
b. Operation (Foldout 9,A)
1. The front planetary, together with the center
planetary, produces second range (MT 640,
643), or third range (MT 650, 653), when the
forward and second clutches are engaged.
2. The center planetary is active in second and third
(MT 640, 643), or third and fourth (MT 650,
653), and reverse ranges. In second range (third
range in MT 650, 653), it is compounded with the
front planetary, as described in Step (1).
3. The center planetary produces third range
(MT 640, 643), or fourth range (MT 650,
653), when the forward and third clutches are
engaged.
4. The center planetary is locked with the front
planetary and the rear planetary to produce
fourth range (MT 640, 643), or fifth range
(MT 650, 653), when the forward and fourth
clutches are engaged.
5. The center planetary is compounded with the
rear planetary to produce reverse range when
the fourth and first clutches are engaged.
6. The rear planetary is active in first range
(MT 640, 643), or second range (MT 650,
653), and reverse range operation.
7. The rear planetary is locked with the front and
center planetaries to produce fourth (or fifth)
range as explained in Step (4).
8. The rear planetary is compounded with the
center planetary to produce reverse range as
explained in Step (5).
26

9. The rear planetary acts alone to produce first


range (MT 640, 643), or second range (MT 650,
653), when the first and forward clutches are engaged.

NOTE:
In fourth range (MT 640, 643), or fifth range (MT 650,
653), all three planetaries rotate as a unit because the
forward and fourth clutches are engaged. This gives
direct drive through the transmission.

215. LOW CLUTCH (MT 650, 653 Only)


a. Description (Foldout 11,B)
1. The low clutch includes piston 23, five internal-splined plates 18, and six external-tanged
plates 17.
2. The piston is housed in rear cover assembly 13
(Foldout 12,B). The external tangs of plates 17
(Foldout 11,B) engage slots in adapter housing
3 and are held stationary. The internal splines
of plates 18 engage the splines of planetary
carrier assembly 8. Piston 23 is retained by
twenty-six piston return springs 22, retainer
21, and snapring 20.
b. Operation (Foldout 11,B)
1. When the low clutch is released, internalsplined plates 18 are free to rotate. This allows
low planetary carrier assembly 8 to rotate. The
low clutch is released in neutral, reverse, second, third, fourth, and fifth range operation.
2. When the low clutch is applied, piston 23 compresses plates 17 and 18 against adapter housing 3. This locks internal-splined plates 18 to
external-tanged plates 17, which are stationary.
Plates 18, splined to low planetary carrier assembly 8, hold it stationary. This causes a reaction within the planetary which produces first
range ratio at the output shaft. Input torque for
the gearing is transmitted through the engaged
forward clutch and transmission main shaft.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


216. LOW PLANETARY GEARING
(MT 650, 653 Only)
a. Description (Foldout 11,B)
1. The low planetary gearing includes planetary
carrier assembly 8, sun gear 6, and ring gear
19. Sun gear 6 is splined to rear planetary ring
gear hub 6 (Foldout 11,A). Ring gear 19 (Foldout 11,B) is splined to output shaft assembly 1
(Foldout 12,B).
2. The low planetary is compounded with the rear
planetary to produce first range when the forward and low clutches are applied.
b. Operation (Foldout 11,B). The low planetary is inactive in all ranges except first range. The low planetary,
together with the rear planetary, produces first range
when the forward and low clutches are applied. Input
torque for the gearing is transmitted to the low sun
gear 6 by rear planetary ring gear hub 6 (Foldout
11,A). The low sun gear rotates low planetary pinions
12 (Foldout 11,B). The pinions rotate low planetary
ring gear 19. Carrier assembly 8 is anchored against
rotation.

217. GOVERNOR DRIVE


NOTE:
The description and operation of the governor drive
are identical for all models. Therefore, only the
MT(B) 650, 653 is described.
a. Description (MT 650, 653) (Foldout 12,B). Governor assembly 35 is a centrifugal (flyweight) governor driven by governor drive gear 8. The governor is
supported in a bore in rear cover 15 by pin 16, and is
retained in the rear cover by governor cover 39.
b. Description (MTB 653) (Foldout 17,A). Governor assembly 35 is a centrifugal (flyweight) governor
driven by governor drive gear 25 (Foldout 18,A). The
governor is supported in a bore in retarder housing 6
by bushing 4, and is retained in the retarder housing by
cover 39 (Foldout 17,A).
c. Operation (Foldout 12,B). Rotation of the governor causes the governor valve (Foldout 3) to travel
within its bore. When the valve moves to the left, governor pressure rises. When the valve moves to the

right, governor pressure falls. Governor pressure varies proportionally with output speed. Governor pressure, in combination with modulator pressure (Paragraph 224i) provides the automatic shifting in the
transmission. Refer to Paragraphs 224p and 224q
for additional information about automatic shift.

218. SPEEDOMETER DRIVE/SPEED


SENSOR WHEEL
NOTE:
The description and operation of the speedometer
drive or speed sensor wheel are identical for all models. Therefore, only the MT(B) 650, 653 is described.
a. Description
1. For the MT 650, 653 (Foldout 12,B), the
speedometer drive consists of drive gear 9, a
worm gear with a left-hand helix, or speed sensor wheel 10. The drive is concentric with the
output shaft and has no key or drive splines.
The gear is clamped between rotating parts
which cause the drive gear to rotate.
2. Speed sensor wheel 10 (Foldout 12,B) or 3
(Foldout 12,A) is provided for models
equipped with an electronic speedometer. The
16-tooth wheel provides a rotating pulse that
can be read by an electronic speed sensor.
3. For the MTB 653 (Foldout 18,A), the speedometer drive consists of drive gear 25 and
driven gear bushing 10. Drive gear 25 is a
worm gear with a left-hand helix. It is located
between the rotor hub and output shaft bearing
spacer 26. The gear is splined to the output
shaft and rotates at output shaft speed.
b. Operation
1. When the transmission output shaft rotates, the
drive gear or speed sensor wheel rotates.
2. For mechanical speedometers, the driven gear,
supplied by the vehicle manufacturer, rotates
clockwise (viewed at the cable connection in
the rear cover) during forward operation. Rear
cover assembly 13 (Foldout 12,B) supports the
driven gear.

output speed by counting the pulses produced by the teeth of the speed sensor wheel.

used with mechanically-controlled engines that


can provide a 12- or 24-volt (dc) signal to
stroke the modulator valve.

220. CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLIES


219. MODULATOR
a. Vacuum Modulator. The position of the diaphragm in the modulator varies with vehicle speed,
load, and engine throttle opening. When the diaphragm moves, the modulator valve is affected, increasing or decreasing modulator pressure. Modulator
and governor pressures control the automatic selection
of transmission ranges.
b. Mechanical Modulator
1. The mechanical modulator is attached to the
transmission and activated by a cable.
2. The cable is connected to the fuel control lever
at one end and the modulator valve actuator at
the other. The fuel control lever moves the cable, controlling the modulator valve.
c. Electric Modulator
1. An electric modulator can be used with electronic or non-electronic engines any engine
which can provide an On/Off signal based on
throttle/pedal position.
2. The 12-volt modulator assembly and the 24-volt
modulator assembly utilize an electronic signal
to stroke the transmission modulator pin from
the closed-throttle position to the full-throttle
position. The result is step-modulation.
3. Step-modulation is a two-phase modulation
schedule which utilizes a closed-throttle shift
schedule until the throttle position is greater
than 8085 percent, and then remains at a fullthrottle shift schedule until the throttle position
is less than 6065 percent.
4. Electric modulators are compatible with an
electronically-controlled engine that can provide an On/Off signal based on throttle position.
Consult
the
respective
engine
manufacturer to identify the wire that provides
this signal. Electronic modulation can also be

a. Description. Control valve assemblies 1 (Foldout


13 or 14), 3 (Foldout 15,B), 1 (Foldout 15,A), and
valve and front support assembly 22 (Foldout 7,A)
contain the major valves in the transmission. These
valves and their related components control shifting
and lockup operation. The valve bodies (except valve
and front support assembly) are bolted to the bottom
of the transmission case, which is channeled to direct
the flow of fluid between the valve body, clutches, and
other components.
b. Operation. Refer to Paragraph 224 for operation of control valve assemblies.

221. OIL PAN AND FILTER


a. Description (Foldout 10,A or 10,B)
1. Oil pan 46 (Foldout 10,A) or 25 (Foldout 10,B)
is a pressed steel assembly which provides separate openings for draining the fluid and for
mounting the fill tube. The pan is bolted to the
bottom of the transmission housing.
2. Filter 14 (Foldout 10,B) is a paper element retained by a steel casing and can be serviced
without removal of the pan. Filter 30 (Foldout
10,A) is a paper element with detachable filter
tube 32. Filter 38 is a stainless steel screen with
integral filter tube. Filter 30 and 38 elements are
retained by a steel casing.
3. The input pump draws fluid from the sump
through the filter and directs it to the hydraulic
system.
b. Function (Foldout 10,A or 10,B)
1. Oil pan 46 (Foldout 10,A) or 25 (Foldout 10,B)
holds the entire supply of fluid for the transmission and covers the control valve assemblies and filter.
2. Filter 30 or 38 (Foldout 10,A), or 14 (Foldout
10,B), screens all fluid entering the hydraulic
system.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


222. REAR COVER
a. Description (Foldouts 12,A and 12,B). Rear
cover 13 (Foldout 12,B) or 6 (Foldout 12,A) is made
of aluminum and is machined to receive the governor
assembly. The cover for the MT 640, 643 is machined
to receive first clutch piston 11 (Foldout 11,A). The
cover for the MT 650, 653 receives low clutch piston
23 (Foldout 11,B).
b. Function. The rear cover provides support for
output shaft assembly 50 (Foldout 9,A) or 1 (Foldout
12,B). A parking brake mounting face is provided on
the rear surface of the cover. The cover is the rear enclosure member and is bolted to the transmission
housing.

223. OUTPUT RETARDER


a. Description (Foldout 18,B)
1. The output retarder consists of four main elements: rotor assembly 14, two stators, and a friction clutch. The rotor assembly is a vaned wheel,
splined to output shaft 11, and rotates continuously at output shaft speed. Front stator 4 is located on the forward side of the rotor and is
bolted to retarder adapter housing 7 (Foldout
19,A). The front stator consists of vanes cast into
a stationary ring. The rear stator is located to the
rear of the rotor assembly and consists of vanes
cast into retarder housing 6 (Foldout 18,A).
2. The clutch (Foldout 18,B) consists of five external-splined reaction plates 6, one backplate 15,
and six internal-splined friction plates 7. Four
reaction plates are splined to the ID of the front
stator. One reaction plate and the backplate are
splined to the ID of the rear stator. The six friction plates are splined to rotor hub 13.
3. The output retarder mounts directly to the rear
of the transmission housing on MTB 643 models and to the rear of the low clutch adapter
housing on MTB 653 models. The retarder
housing adapter (Foldout 19,A or 19,B) permits the retarder to be mounted to the transmission housing or low clutch adapter housing.
b. Function. The output retarder provides power absorption to slow vehicle forward motion. The retarder
housing replaces the transmission rear cover, encloses

the retarder components, and provides a mounting pad


for the retarder control valves. A speedometer drive
can be mounted on the retarder housing, but no provisions have been made to mount a parking brake on the
rear of the retarder housing.

224. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM


NOTE:
References to up, down, left, or right refer to positions or movements of components on Foldout 3, 4,
or 5.
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 torque converter turbine. Its flow cools and lubricates the transmission. Its pressure operates the various control
valves and applies the clutches.
b. System Schematics (Foldouts 3, 4). Color-coded
foldouts of both MT 640, 643 and MT 650, 653 hydraulic systems are presented at the back of this manual. Each illustration represents the system as it would
function in neutral with the engine idling.
c. Filter, Pump Circuit. The input-driven pump
draws transmission fluid (blue) from the sump through
a filter. Fluid (red) discharged by the pump flows into
the bore of the main-pressure regulator valve.
d. Main-Pressure Circuit (Red)
1. Main pressure is regulated by the main-pressure regulator valve. Transmission fluid from
the pump flows into the valve bore, into an internal passage in the valve, and to the upper
end of the valve. Pressure at the upper end of
the valve forces the valve downward against
the spring until fluid (yellow) flows into the
converter-in circuit. When flow from the pump
exceeds the circuit requirement, the converter
regulator valve opens and allows the excess to
exhaust to sump.
2. Although main pressure is controlled primarily
by the spring at the bottom of the valve, it is
also affected by forward regulator pressure and
lockup pressure. These pressures are not

29

MT(B) 640, 643, 650, 653 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS


present at the regulator valve during reverse
operation and main pressure is regulated at a
higher value.
e. Converter-In (Yellow), Converter-Out
(Orange), Lubrication (Green) Circuit
1. This circuit originates at the main-pressure
regulator valve. Converter-in fluid flows to the
torque converter. Fluid must flow through the
converter continuously to keep it filled and to
carry off the heat generated by the converter.
The converter pressure regulator valve regulates converter-in pressure by exhausting excessive fluid to sump.
2. Converter-out fluid flows to an external cooler
(supplied by the vehicle or engine manufacturer). The flow of air or water over or through
the cooler removes the heat from the transmission fluid.
3. Lubrication fluid is directed through the transmission to components requiring continuous lubrication and cooling. Fluid in excess of that
required by the lubrication circuit escapes to
sump through the lubrication pressure regulator.
f. Selector Valve, Forward Regulator Circuit
(Red and Blue) MT 640, 643 (Foldout 3)
1. The selector valve is manually shifted to select
the operating range desired. It can be shifted to
any one of six positions: N (Neutral), R (Reverse), D (Drive), D3 (Drive 3), D2 (Drive 2),
and D1 (Drive 1). At each of these positions
the selector valve establishes the hydraulic circuit for operation in the selected range.
2. D, D3, D2, and D1 are forward ranges. The
lowest range attainable is first range. In D1,
D2, D3, or D position, the transmission starts
in first range (except on second range start).
Shifting within any range is automatic, depending upon vehicle speed and throttle position.
3. The forward regulator circuit originates at the
manual selector valve and terminates at the
main-pressure regulator valve. The circuit is
pressurized in every forward range, reducing
main pressure. In reverse, forward-regulator
210

pressure is not present, allowing high main


pressure to control the higher torque produced
in reverse operation.
g. Selector Valve, Forward Regulator Circuit
(Red and Blue) MT 650, 653 (Foldout 4)
1. The selector valve is manually shifted to select
the operating range desired. It can be shifted to
any one of six positions: N (Neutral), R (Reverse), D (Drive), D3 (Drive 3), D2 (Drive 2),
and D1 (Drive 1). At each of these positions
the selector valve establishes the hydraulic circuit for operation in the selected range.
2. D, D3, D2, and D1 are forward ranges. The
lowest range attainable is first range which is
present in D1 only. In D2, D3, or D position,
the transmission starts in second range. Shifting within any range is automatic, depending
on vehicle speed and throttle position. Later
MT 650 (after S/N 13800) and all MT 653
transmissions do not upshift in D2 position under normal operating conditions.
3. The forward regulator circuit originates at the
manual selector valve and terminates at the
main pressure regulator valve. The circuit is
pressurized in every forward range, reducing
main pressure. In reverse, forward-regulator
pressure is not present, allowing for high main
pressure to control the higher torque produced
in reverse operation. In earlier MT 650 models,
forward-regulator pressure was effective in
only third, fourth, and fifth ranges. It originated at the line that connects the 23 and 34
relay valves.
h. Governor Circuit (Green and White)
1. Main pressure is directed to the governor
valve. The speed of the transmission output
controls the position of the governor valve. The
position of the governor valve determines the
amount of pressure in the governor circuit.
When the transmission output is not rotating,
governor pressure is approximately 2 psi. Governor pressure varies with the output rpm.
2. In the MT 640 and 643, governor pressure is
directed to the 12, 23, and 34 shift signal

Copyright 1996 General Motors Corp.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


valves and modulated lockup valve. In earlier
models that do not include the modulated
lockup valve, governor pressure is directed to
the top of the lockup valve.
3. In the MT 650 and 653, governor pressure is
directed to the 23, 34, and 45 shift signal
valves, the 21 inhibitor valve, and the modulated lockup valve. In earlier models that do
not include the modulated lockup valve, governor pressure is directed to the top of the lockup
valve.
4. At the 21 inhibitor valve, governor pressure
acts upon the top of the valve. When governor
pressure is sufficient to push the valve downward, road speed is too high to permit a downshift to first range. A 21 shift cannot occur
until governor pressure (and road speed) is reduced. D1 pressure is blocked from reaching
the top of the 12 shift valve until road speed
(and governor pressure) is decreased to a value
that allows the inhibitor valve to move upward.
5. In second range start units, the presence of
governor pressure at the bottom of the 12
shift valve, and forward-regulator pressure on
the 12 modulator valve, plus the assistance of
spring force under the 12 shift valve, cause
the shift valve to move upward against its stop.
This allows main pressure to pass through the
12 shift signal valve to the 12 relay valve.
The 12 relay valve is forced downward in its
bore allowing apply pressure to be directed to
the second clutch, permitting second range
start.
i. Modulator Pressure Circuit (Red and Green)

NOTE:
The modulator varies modulator pressure with
throttle movement, and may be vacuum, air, mechanically, or electrically controlled. Refer to the
current MT1357EN, MT(B) 600 Series Mechanics
Tips, for details. Mechanical modulators are most
commonly used for diesel engine applications (Foldouts 3, 4). Vacuum modulators can be used only on
gasoline engine applications. Air, mechanical, and
electric modulators may be used with any engine.

1. The modulator valve produces a regulated


pressure which is derived from main pressure.
When the throttle is closed, a spring at the left
end of the valve moves the valve to the right.
When the throttle is opened, cam and spring
action move the valve to the left. When the
spring force at the left of the valve is in balance
with the spring force and modulator pressure at
the right of the valve, modulator pressure is
regulated.
2. When the throttle setting is increased, the
movement of the actuator cam forces the modulator valve to the left, reducing modulator
pressure. When the throttle setting is reduced,
the downward movement of the actuator cam
allows the spring at the left to push the valve to
another regulating position. Because the throttle setting varies with load and engine speed,
modulator pressure also varies. This varying
pressure is directed to the 12, 23, and 34
shift signal valves (MT 640, 643) or 23, 34,
and 45 shift signal valves (MT 650, 653),
trimmer regulator valve, and modulated lockup
valve. Earlier models do not include the modulated lockup valve.
3. At the shift signal valves, modulator pressure
assists governor pressure to overcome shift
valve spring force. Each one of the shift valves
and springs is calibrated so that the valves shift
in the proper sequence at the proper time. A
decrease in modulator pressure causes a downshift if governor pressure is not sufficient to
oppose the shift valve spring force. Modulator
pressure controls trimmer boost and the trimmer regulator valve.
4. At the modulated lockup valve, modulator
pressure assists governor pressure in moving
(or holding) the valve downward. The variation
in modulator pressure varies the timing of
lockup clutch engagement and release. The primary purpose of lockup modulation is to prolong the engagement of the lockup clutch (at
closed throttle) in lower ranges to provide
greater engine braking.
5. All modulated lockup valves are adjustable,
but not all transmissions have modulated
lockup. Adjustable lockup is adjusted by rotat-

ing the adjusting ring (Paragraph 313b) at the
bottom of the valve until the desired shift point
is attained.
j. Trimmer Regulator Valve (Green and Yellow)
NOTE:
Paragraphs 224j(1) and 224j(2) apply only to
transmissions built after S/N 13800.
1. The trimmer regulator valve reduces main
pressure to a regulated pressure. The regulated
pressure is raised or lowered by changes in
modulator pressure (red and green).
2. Trimmer regulator pressure is directed to the
lower sides of the first and second trimmer
plugs on some models, or to the lower sides of
the first, second, third, and fourth trimmer
plugs on models equipped with smooth shift.
This varies the clutch-apply pressure pattern of
the trimmer valves. A higher modulator pressure (closed throttle) reduces trimmer regulator
pressure, resulting in a lower initial clutch
pressure. A lower modulator pressure (open
throttle) results in higher regulator pressure
and a higher initial clutch-apply pressure.

4. When the clutch is released, the spring pushes


the trimmer components to the top of the valve
bore. In this position the trimmer is reset and
ready to repeat the action at the next application of that clutch.
l. Lockup Circuit
1. The modulated lockup valve and the lockup relay valve control lockup clutch engagement
and release.

1. The purpose of the trimmer valves is to avoid


shift shock. The valves reduce pressure to the
clutch-apply circuit during initial application,
then gradually return the pressure to operating
maximum. This applies the clutch gently, preventing harsh shifts.

2. The modulated lockup valve is actuated by


governor pressure or governor plus modulator
pressure. At full throttle, governor pressure
moves the valve downward. At part throttle,
governor and modulator pressures move the
valve downward. The purpose of the modulated lockup valve is to prolong lockup clutch
engagement while vehicle speed decreases
(closed throttle). This feature provides engine
braking action at speeds lower than the normal
lockup disengagement point.

2. Although each trimmer valve is calibrated for


the clutch it serves, all four trimmers function
in the same manner. Each trimmer includes
(top to bottom) an orificed trimmer valve, trimmer valve plug, one or two trimmer springs,
and a stop pin.

3. In its downward position, the modulated


lockup valve directs main pressure to the top of
the lockup valve. Main pressure pushes the
lockup valve downward. In its downward position, the valve directs main pressure to the
lockup clutch. This engages the clutch.

3. When any clutch (except forward clutch) is applied, clutch-apply pressure is sent to the top
end of the corresponding trimmer valve. Initially, the plug and valve are forced downward
against the spring until fluid escapes to exhaust. The escape of fluid, as long as it contin-

4. The position of the lockup valve affects the


volume of fluid flowing to the torque converter.
When the valve is upward (lockup clutch released), there is maximum flow to the converter. When the valve is downward (clutch
engaged), an orifice restricts converter-in flow.

k. Trimmer Valves

212

ues, reduces clutch-apply pressure. Fluid flows


through an orifice in the trimmer valve to the
cavity between the trimmer valve and the trimmer valve plug. Pressure in this cavity forces
the plug down to the stop. The pressure below
the trimmer valve acts upon a greater diameter
than at the upper end, and pushes the trimmer
valve to the upper end of the valve bore. This
reduces and then stops the escape of fluid to
the exhaust. When the escape of fluid stops,
clutch pressure is maximized. The plug remains downward until the clutch is released.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


5. When the lockup clutch is engaged, a signal
pressure is sent to the main pressure regulator
valve. This signal pressure reduces main pressure to a lower pressure schedule.
6. On models with adjustable lockup, modulator
assistance at the modulated lockup valve is not
present. Lockup engagement is initiated by setting the adjusting ring (Paragraph 313b) to
the shift point specifications and with the assistance of governor pressure.
7. Earlier models, which do not have modulated
lockup, do not include the modulated lockup
valve. Governor pressure is directed to the top
of the lockup valve.

the 12 shift valve and move it downward to


the first range position.
3. While operating in first range, the 21 inhibitor
valve moves downward, if road speed and governor pressure exceed the safe limit for first
range operation. This blocks D1 pressure and
exhausts the cavity above the 12 shift valve.
The shift valve moves upward to give second
range operation.
o. Clutch Circuits, Hold Regulator Circuits,
Drive Ranges
1. There are five clutches in the MT 640, 643 and
six clutches in the MT 650, 653. The clutches
are applied as follows:
Range

m. Priority Valve
1. The priority valve ensures that the control system upstream from the valve will have sufficient pressure during shifts to perform its automatic functions. In later MT 643, 650 models
and all MT 653 models, first clutch pressure
can bypass the priority valve while in reverse.
2. Without the priority valve, the filling of a
clutch might momentarily require a greater
volume of fluid than the pump could supply
and still maintain pressure for the necessary
control functions.
n. 2-1 Inhibitor Valve MT 650, 653 (Foldout 4)
1. The 21 inhibitor valve prevents a downshift
from second range to first range when road
speed is too high. It protects the engine from
over-speeding during downgrade operation in
first range by making a 12 upshift if road
speed exceeds the safe limit for first range operation.
2. When road speed is great enough to produce a
governor pressure that pushes the 21 inhibitor
valve downward, D1 pressure to the 12 shift
valve is blocked. If a manual shift to D1 (Drive
1 or first range) is made, D1 pressure cannot
reach the 12 shift valve. The transmission remains in second range until road speed and
governor pressure decrease to a value that permits the 21 inhibitor valve to move upward.
In its upward position, D1 pressure can reach

2. Each clutch has its own circuit. The first, second, third, and fourth clutches each connect to
a relay valve and to a trimmer valve. The forward clutch connects directly to the selector
valve and does not connect to a trimmer valve.
The low clutch (MT 650, 653 only) is not
trimmed because there is no automatic upshifting from, or downshifting, to this clutch.
3. The low clutch circuit (MT 650, 653 only) connects the clutch to the 12 shift valve. The 12
shift valve also receives 12 (low and first)
feed from the 23 relay valve. In N (Neutral),
the 12 shift valve is held upward by spring

MT(B) 640, 643, 650, 653 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS


pressure and cannot move downward unless
the Drive 1 line is charged. In the upward position, 12 (low and first) feed pressure is sent to
the first clutch.
4. The first clutch circuit (red and yellow) connects the clutch to the first trimmer valve and
to either the 12 relay valve (MT 640, 643) or
the 12 shift valve (MT 650, 653). In N (Neutral) the 12 shift valve is held upward by
spring pressure. The 12 shift valve cannot
move downward unless the 21 signal line is
charged. This does not occur in N (Neutral) because there is no governor pressure to shift the
21 inhibitor valve. Only the first clutch is applied, so the transmission output cannot rotate.
A bypass and check ball are provided between
the reverse and first trimmer passages to ensure
a rapid and more positive shift from first range
to reverse (MT(B) 643 with second range start)
or from first (low) range to reverse (MT(B)
653).
5. The first clutch is also applied in first range operation (MT 640, 643), second range operation
(MT 650, 653), and reverse range operation.
Shifting the selector from N (Neutral) to D,
D3, D2, or D1 charges the forward clutch circuit and applies the forward clutch. Shifting
from N (Neutral) to R (reverse) charges the
fourth clutch, while the first clutch remains
charged. In reverse, fourth clutch (reverse signal) pressure is also directed to the bottom of
12 relay valve (MT 640, 643) or 23 relay
valve (MT 650, 653). The pressure at this location prevents either relay valve from moving
downward.
6. When the circuits are charged, and the selector
valve is at D, the MT 640, 643 automatically
shifts from first to second, second to third, and
third to fourth. The MT 650, 653 automatically
shifts from second to third, third to fourth, and
fourth to fifth. These shifts occur as a result of
governor pressure and (if the throttle is not
fully open) modulator pressure.
7. The position of the selector valve determines
the highest range that can be reached automatically while the vehicle is moving. MT 640, 643
models that do not incorporate a second range
start automatically shift 12, 23, and 34
214

when the selector valve is in D4 (Drive 4) position. In D3 (Drive 3), automatic 12, 23 shifts
occur. In D2 (Drive 2), an automatic 12 shift
occurs. D1 (Drive 1) does not permit an upshift
to occur unless the transmission output overspeeds.
8. The positions of the selector valve in second
range start units is the same, only the transmission performance is altered. The transmission
always starts in second range when any forward range other than D1 (Drive 1) is selected.
When D4 (Drive 4) is selected, the transmission starts in second range and automatically
shifts 23 and 34. In D3 (Drive 3), an automatic 23 shift occurs. D2 (Drive 2) does not
permit an upshift to occur unless the transmission output overspeeds. D1 (Drive 1) is the
only position in which first range is available
and automatic upshifting is not permitted unless the transmission output overspeeds.
9. In the MT 650 or 653, in D (Drive), automatic
23, 34, and 45 shifts can occur. In D3
(Drive 3), automatic 23 and 34 shifts can
occur. In D2 (Drive 2) (before S/N 13800), an
automatic 23 shift can occur. Beginning with
S/N 13801, no automatic shift from D2 (Drive
2) can occur unless overspeed occurs. In D1
(Drive 1) no automatic shift can occur unless
the transmission output overspeeds.
10. The various drive ranges limit the highest
range attainable by introducing a pressure
which prevents governor pressure from upshifting the signal valves (unless governor
pressure is well above that normally attained).
This pressure is a regulated, reduced pressure
derived from the main-pressure circuit at the
hold regulator valve. Main pressure is directed
to the hold regulator valve through the hold
feedline when the selector lever is in D1 (Drive
1), D2 (Drive 2), or D3 (Drive 3) position. The
pressure produced in the hold regulator valve is
directed to the 34 shift valve (MT 640, 643)
or the 45 shift valve (MT 650, 653) when the
selector is in D3 (Drive 3). The hold pressure is
directed to the 23 and 34 (MT 640, 643) or
the 34 and 45 (MT 650, 653) shift signal
valve when the selector is in D2 (Drive 2) position. Beginning with S/N 13801, hold pressure

Copyright 1996 General Motors Corp.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


in the MT 650, 653 is directed to the 23, 34,
and 45 shift signal valves. In the MT 640, 643
and MT 650, 653 pressure is directed to all
shift signal valves when the selector is in D1
(Drive 1).
11. Hold regulator pressure at each shift signal
valve pushes the modulator valve upward and
exerts downward force on the shift valve.
When hold pressure is present, upshifts are inhibited except in extreme overspeed conditions.
p. Automatic Upshifts
1. When the transmission is operating in first
range (MT 640, 643) or second range (MT
650, 653), with the selector valve at D (Drive),
a combination of governor pressure and modulator pressure, or governor pressure alone, upshifts the transmission to second (MT 640,
643) or third (MT 650, 653) range. At closed or
part throttle, modulator pressure assists governor pressure. At full throttle, there is no modulator pressure and upshifts occur at a higher
road speed. When the throttle is closed, shifts
occur at lower road speeds.
2. Governor pressure depends upon rotation
speed of the transmission output. The greater
the output (vehicle) speed, the greater the governor pressure. When governor pressure is sufficient, the first upshift (12 for MT 640, 643
or 23 for MT 650, 653) occurs. Further increases in governor pressure (and vehicle
speed) cause the second upshift (23 for MT
640, 643 or 34 for MT 650, 653) and then the
third upshift (34 for MT 640, 643 or 45 for
MT 650, 653) to occur. Modulator pressure,
when present, assists governor pressure in
overcoming shift valve spring force.
3. In any automatic upshift, the shift signal valve
acts first. This directs a shift signal pressure to
the relay valve. The relay valve moves downward, exhausting the applied clutch and applying a clutch for the next higher range.
q. Automatic Downshifts
1. Automatic downshifts, like upshifts, are controlled by rear governor and modulator pressures. Downshifts occur in sequence as rear

governor pressure and/or modulator pressure


decrease. Low modulator pressure (open throttle) hastens downshifts; high modulator pressure (closed throttle) delays downshifts.
2. In any automatic downshift, the shift signal
valve acts first. This exhausts the shift signal
pressure holding the relay valve downward.
The relay valve then moves upward, exhausting the applied clutch and applying the clutch
for the next lower range.
r. Downshift and Reverse Inhibiting
1. As a result of calibrations of valve areas and
spring forces, the system inherently prevents
downshifts at too rapid a rate or shifts to reverse while moving forward. For example, if
the vehicle is traveling at a high speed in fourth
range and the selector valve is moved to D1
(Drive 1), the transmission will not immediately shift to first range (MT 640, 643). Instead
it will shift 4321 as speed decreases. The
transmission remains in fourth range if speed is
not decreased sufficiently to allow an automatic downshift.
2. The progressive downshift occurs because the
hold regulator pressure is calibrated, along
with the valve areas, to shift the signal valves
downward against governor pressure only
when governor pressure decreases to a value
corresponding to a safe downshift speed. If
speed is too great, governor pressure is sufficient to hold the shift signal valve upward
against D3 (Drive 3), D2 (Drive 2), or D1
(Drive 1) pressure (all of which are the regulated holding pressure originating in the hold
regulator valve). As governor pressure decreases, all shift signal valves move downward
in sequence.

225. RETARDER HYDRAULIC


CIRCUIT COMPONENTS
a. Circuit Schematic (Foldout 5). The schematic of
the retarder hydraulic circuit presented in the back of
this manual shows the circuit in the retarder-off condition.
b. Priority Valve. Main pressure supplied by the
transmission to the retarder passes through this valve.

Copyright 1996 General Motors Corp.

215

MT(B) 640, 643, 650, 653 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS


The function of the valve is to protect the transmission
from low main pressure. During retarder operation the
valve remains open. If transmission main pressure
drops below 55 psi (379 kPa), the valve closes, permitting main pressure to increase. As main pressure increases above 55 psi (379 kPa), the priority valve
opens, allowing main pressure to charge the accumulators.
c. Driver Retarder Control. Retarder operation is
controlled by a driver-actuated air control. This control
is either a lever or a pedal. When the control is actuated, air pressure is applied to the top of the retarder
valve. This air pressure causes the retarder valve to
move downward to apply the retarder. The amount of
retarder application is determined by the amount of air
pressure applied by the driver through the retarder
control.
d. Retarder Valve. The retarder valve is a spooltype valve which directs the flow of fluid to and from
the retarder. Hydraulic pressure, supplemented by
spring force, moves the valve in the upward direction
while air pressure moves the valve in the downward
direction.
e. Cutoff Valve. The cutoff valve is located beneath
the retarder valve and regulates hydraulic pressure
throughout the system during partial retarder application. With a coiled spring under the cutoff valve and
the retarder valve above, regulated pressure and spring
force position the cutoff valve in its bore, directing a
reduced regulated pressure to the hydraulic system.
During full retarder valve application, the cutoff valve
is held at the bottom of its bore, directing maximum
regulated pressure into the retarder hydraulic system.
f. Retarder Pressure Regulator Valve. The regulator valve is the most complex valve in the control system. It provides regulated pressure for full clutch apply. It provides clutch pressure priority by closing off
the feed line from the retarder pressure regulator valve
to the charging valve during initial clutch fill. At low
vehicle speeds, it reduces retarder clutch pressure by
closing or regulating the feed line between the cutoff
valve and the retarder pressure regulator valve. This
provides a smooth transition from retarder to vehicle
service brakes.

216

g. Charging Valve. The charging valve regulates the


difference in pressure between clutch-apply pressure
and retarder-charging pressure. When vehicle output
speed is approximately l600 rpm or greater, the charging valve moves toward the stop (left) in its bore, directing regulated retarder-charging pressure to the retarder. Once the pressure on both sides of the clutchapply piston is balanced, the piston return spring force
moves the piston back into its bore (left), disengaging
the clutch. When the vehicle speed is reduced, the
charging valve moves to the right in its bore, against
spring pressure, exhausting retarder-charging pressure.
The lower retarder-charging pressure in front of the
piston permits the higher clutch pressure behind the
clutch piston to move the piston out of its bore (right),
engaging the clutch. The application of the clutch at
lower vehicle speeds ensures a smooth transition from
retarder to vehicle service brakes.

226. RETARDER HYDRAULIC


CIRCUIT FUNCTION
a. Retarder Valve Off (Vehicle Moving). The retarder valve is in the off position when positioned at
the top of its bore. Air pressure at the top of the valve
is zero and spring force at the bottom of the valve
holds it in the top of its bore. In this position, the valve
directs fluid from the cooler to the transmission lubrication circuit, from the transmission converter through
the retarder valve to the fluid cooler, and from the fluid
cooler to the transmission housing and the retarder
housing for lubrication. Main pressure from the priority valve passes through the retarder valve to the three
accumulator cylinders. This fluid pressure moves the
pistons leftward in their bores, holding the fluid in reserve until required.
b. Retarder Valve Partially Applied
1. The position of the retarder valve in its bore is
controlled by the amount of air pressure applied to the top of the valve. At partial apply,
the initial air pressure application forces the retarder and cutoff valves to the bottom of their
bores. Clutch pressure at maximum strength is
released at the regulator valve and directed to
the clutch-apply circuit. Fluid retained in the
three accumulator cylinders is released to the

Copyright 1996 General Motors Corp.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


clutch-apply circuit and retarder-charging pressure is directed to the clutch-apply circuit. The
simultaneous addition of fluid from these circuits fulfills the clutch-apply circuit demand in
the shortest length of time and sets up a balanced pressure in the retarder hydraulic system. With this balanced pressure on both sides
of the piston, spring force moves the piston
away from the clutch plates, disengaging the
clutch. The retarder and cutoff valves move upward in their bores until the force on the top of
the valve is equal to the force on the bottom.
The position of the retarder valve in its bore
determines the pressure in the retarder hydraulic system.
2. As vehicle output speed decreases, governor
pressure is reduced. The charging valve moves
rightward in its bore, exhausting retardercharging pressure and reducing retarder-in
pressure to the clutch valve plug. The loss of
pressure at the left end of the plug permits
spring force at the right end to move the plug
leftward. Regulated pressure at the right end of
the clutch valve moves the valve leftward, reducing the regulated pressure to the clutch-apply circuit. Since the pressure in the retarder
charging circuit is less than the pressure in the
clutch-apply circuit, the piston is forced to engage the clutch. The engaged clutch, supplemented by rotor rotation, retards vehicle
forward motion and permits a smooth transition from retarder to vehicle service brakes.
c. Retarder Valve Fully Applied
1. Full application of air pressure to the top of the
retarder valve moves both the retarder and cutoff valves to the bottom of their bores. The
valves are held in this position until the air
pressure at the top of the valve is relieved.
Maximum regulated pressure is released by the
regulator valve and is maintained throughout
the hydraulic system, changed only by governor pressure and output speed.
2. Partial application of air pressure to the top of
the retarder valve initially moves the retarder
and cutoff valves to the bottom of their bores,

releasing maximum regulated pressure


throughout the system. The pressure at the top
and bottom of the retarder and cutoff valves
become equalized, forcing the two valves upward in their bores to a position that permits
the cutoff valve to introduce reduced regulated
pressure to the hydraulic system. The capability of the partial application to release reduced
regulated pressure into the hydraulic system is
the primary difference between full and partial
retarder valve application.

227. TORQUE PATHS THROUGH


THE TRANSMISSION
a. Converter Operation. Power is transmitted hydraulically through the torque converter. The engine
drives the converter pump. The pump throws transmission fluid against the turbine vanes, imparting
torque to the converter turbine shaft. From the turbine, the fluid flows between the vanes of the stator,
and re-enters the converter pump where the cycle begins again. The torque path through the torque converter is identical in all drive situations and in neutral. 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). Converter operation is illustrated in Figures 22, 23, 24, and 27 for the MT
640 and 643, and in Figures 28, 29, 210, 211,
and 214 for the MT 650 and 653.
b. Lockup Operation. Power is transmitted mechanically through the lockup clutch. Application of
the lockup clutch occurs automatically as a function of
governor pressure. When the 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. Lockup operation is illustrated in Figures
25 and 26 for third and fourth ranges for the MT
640 and 643, and in Figures 212 and 213 for fourth
and fifth ranges for the MT 650 and 653.

23). Engine torque is transmitted through the torque
converter as described in Paragraph 227a. The forward clutch and the first clutch are applied. Forward
clutch application locks the turbine shaft and the transmission main shaft together so that they rotate as a
unit. The first clutch application anchors the rear planetary ring gear against rotation. The rear sun gear is

splined to the transmission main shaft and rotates with


it, rotating the planetary pinions. The pinions are part
of the planetary carrier, which is splined to the output
shaft. With the rear planetary ring gear held stationary
by the applied first clutch and with the rear sun gear
rotating the pinions, the rear planetary carrier rotates
within the ring gear and drives the output shaft at a
speed reduction of 3.58:1.

e. Second Range Operation (MT 640, 643) (Figure 24). Engine torque is transmitted through the
torque converter as described in Paragraph 227a. The
forward clutch and the second clutch are applied. Forward clutch application locks the turbine shaft to the
transmission main shaft so that they rotate together.
The rear sun gear is splined to both the transmission
main shaft and the center ring gear and all three parts
rotate as a unit. With the front planetary carrier anchored against rotation (by second clutch application),

220

the rotating center ring gear rotates the center sun gear.
The center sun gear is splined to the sun gear shaft to
which the front sun gear is splined. The rotating front
sun gear rotates the front carrier pinions whose carrier
is anchored. The front carrier pinions rotate the front
ring gear which, along with the center carrier, is
splined to the rear planetary carrier through a connecting drum. Rotation of the connecting drum drives the
output shaft, through the splines of the rear planetary
carrier, at a speed reduction of 2.09:1.

f. Third Range Operation (MT 640, 643) (Figure


25). Engine torque is transmitted through the lockup
clutch as described in Paragraph 227b. The forward
and third clutches are applied. Third clutch application
anchors the sun gear shaft against rotation, which prevents the integral center sun gear from rotating. Forward clutch application locks the turbine shaft and the
main shaft together so that they rotate as a unit. The
rear sun gear is splined to both the main shaft and the

center ring gear, and rotates at input speed. With the


center sun gear held stationary and the center ring gear
rotating, the ring gear drives the center planetary pinions. This rotates the center planetary carrier at a speed
reduction of 1.39:1. This carrier and the rear planetary
carrier are splined to the planetary connecting drum
and rotate as a unit. The output shaft, being splined to
the rear carrier, rotates at the same speed as the center
planetary carrier.

Figure 27. Model MT 640 or MT 643 Reverse Range Torque Path

h. Reverse Range Operation (MT 640, 643) (Figure 27). Engine torque is transmitted through the
converter as described in Paragraph 227a. Reverse
range is the only range in which the forward clutch is
not applied. In this range, the fourth clutch is applied
and rotates the sun gear shaft (with the front sun gear
splined to it) at input speed. The first clutch is also applied and anchors the rear ring gear against rotation.
The center sun gear rotates the center carrier pinions

which, in turn, rotate the center ring gear in the opposite direction. The center carrier is splined to the planetary connecting drum, which is splined to the rear
carrier. The reverse direction of rotation of the center
ring gear rotates the rear sun gear. This causes the rear
planetary pinions to drive the rear carrier in a reverse
direction, within the stationary ring gear. The transmission output shaft, splined to the rear carrier, rotates
in a reverse direction at a speed reduction of 5.67:1.

j. First Range Operation (MT 650, 653) (Figure


29). Engine torque is transmitted through the torque
converter as described in Paragraph 227a. The forward clutch and the low clutch are applied. Forward
clutch application locks the turbine shaft and the transmission main shaft together so that they rotate as a
unit. Low clutch application anchors the low planetary
carrier against rotation. The rear planetary sun gear
(splined to the transmission main shaft) rotates the rear
planetary pinions; however, the rear planetary carrier

resists rotation because it is restrained by the output


shaft to which it is splined. This causes the rear planetary carrier ring gear to rotate. The low planetary sun
gear is splined to the rear planetary ring gear and rotates with it. The low planetary sun gear rotates the
pinions. Since the low planetary carrier is anchored
against rotation, the pinions rotate the low planetary
ring gear which, in turn, rotates the output shaft to
which it is splined, at a speed reduction of 8.05:1.

clutch as described in Paragraph 227b. The forward
and fourth clutches are applied. With the clutches applied, the transmission main shaft and center sun gear
shaft are locked together and rotate as a unit at input

speed. With the center sun gear and the rear sun gear
rotating at the same speed (locked together) and their
respective carriers splined to the planetary connecting
drum, all components rotate at the same speed. The
output shaft is splined to the rear carrier and produces
an output ratio of 1.00:1.

o. Reverse Range Operation (MT 650, 653) (Figure 214). Engine torque is transmitted through the
converter as described in Paragraph 227a. Reverse
range is the only range in which the forward clutch is
not applied. In reverse range, the fourth clutch is applied, rotating the sun gear shaft (with the front sun
gear splined to it) at input speed. The first clutch is
also applied and anchors the rear ring gear against rotation. The center sun gear rotates the center carrier

230

pinions, which rotate the center ring gear in the opposite direction. The center carrier is splined to the planetary connecting drum, which is splined to the rear
carrier. The reverse direction of rotation of the center
ring gear rotates the rear sun gear. This causes the rear
planetary pinions to drive the rear carrier in a reverse
direction, within the stationary ring gear. The transmission output shaft, splined to the rear planetary carrier, rotates in a reverse direction at a speed reduction
of 5.67:1.

Section 3 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE


31.

SCOPE

a. This section describes the routine and periodic


procedures required to maintain the transmission in
good operating condition. Topics covered include inspection, hydraulic system maintenance, storage procedures, linkage adjustment, and shift point adjustment. A troubleshooting chart is included at the back
of this section.
b. For transmission removal and installation guidelines, engine adaptation hardware specifications, and
road test checks, refer to the MT(B) 600 Series Mechanics Tips, MT1357EN.

32. INSPECTION AND CARE


a. Clean and inspect the exterior of the transmission
at regular intervals. The severity of service and operating conditions will determine the frequency of such inspections. Inspect the transmission for:
loose bolts (transmission and mounting com-

ponents)
transmission fluid leaks*
shift linkage freely positioned by transmission

detent
full (and ease of) movement of mechanical
modulator linkage
vacuum or air line and modulator for leaks
damaged or loose hydraulic lines
worn or frayed electrical connections
driveline U-joints and slip fittings
speedometer cable and fittings
PTO linkage and driveline

b. Check the transmission fluid level at the intervals


specified in the vehicle operators manual.

33. IMPORTANCE OF PROPER


TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
a. Effects of Improper Fluid Level. Because the
transmission fluid cools, lubricates, and transmits hydraulic power, it is important that the proper fluid level
be maintained at all times. The transmission fluid is
used to apply clutches and to lubricate and cool the
components. If the fluid level is too low, the converter

and clutches will not receive an adequate supply of


fluid. If the level is too high, the fluid will aerate, the
transmission will overheat, and fluid may be expelled
through the breather or dipstick tube.
b. Foaming and Aerating
1. Transmission performance will be affected
when the fluid foams or aerates. The primary
causes of aeration are low fluid in the sump,
too much fluid in the sump, or a defective or
missing sealring on the intake pipe.
2. A low fluid level (indicated on the dipstick)
will not completely envelop the fluid filter.
Fluid and air are drawn in by the input pump
and directed to the clutches and converter,
causing converter cavitation noises and irregular shifting. Aeration also changes the viscosity
and color of the fluid to a thin milky liquid.
3. At normal fluid level (FULL mark on the dipstick), the fluid is slightly below the planetary
gear units. If the transmission is overfilled,
bringing the fluid level above the FULL mark,
the planetary units will run in the fluid, causing
it to become aerated. Overheating and irregular
shift patterns can occur when the fluid is aerated.
4. A defective sealring 31 or 39 (Foldout 10,A),
or 9 (Foldout 10,B) on the filter tube will cause
the input pump to draw air and fluid from the
sump, causing the fluid to become aerated.

34. DIPSTICK MARKINGS


Two dipstick variations are available for use with the
MT 600 Series transmissions. Differences in fill tube
placement and dipstick orientation may change the
markings slightly. Refer to Figures 31 through 34 for
typical dipstick markings and pan fluid levels.
NOTE:
The HOT RUN band for the 7.14 inch (181.36 mm)
pan is below the split line. The bottom of the HOT
RUN band is 1.75 inch (44.5 mm) below the split line
of the transmission and oil pan. The REF FILL
(COLD RUN) band is not provided with this configuration.

* Transmission fluid leaks require immediate attention.

2. Clean around the end of the fill tube before removing the dipstick. Dirt or foreign material
must not be allowed to enter the transmission

procedures and record any abnormal level on
your maintenance records.

1. Always check the transmission fluid level at


least twice. Consistency is important in maintaining accuracy. If inconsistent dipstick readings persist, check for proper venting of the
transmission breather and/or fill tube. A
clogged breather can force fluid up into the fill
tube and cause an inaccurate reading. A dipstick that anchors inside the top end of an unvented fill tube can draw fluid up into the tube
during removal and give an inaccurate reading.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the
parking brake, and block the wheels.
2. Operate the engine at 10001500 rpm for one
minute to purge air from the system. Allow the
engine to idle. Shift to D (Drive) and then to R
(Reverse) to fill the hydraulic circuits with
fluid. Then, shift to N (Neutral). The sump
temperature should be 60120F (1650C).
3. After wiping the dipstick clean, check the fluid
level. If the fluid level is in the COLD RUN
(Figure 32) or REF FILL (Figure 34) bands,
the level is satisfactory for operating the transmission until the fluid is hot enough to perform
a Hot Check. If the fluid level is not within
these parameters, raise or lower the fluid level
to bring it within the band.
4. Perform a Hot Check at the first opportunity
after normal operating temperature is reached
(160200F (7193C) sump temperature;
180220F (82104C) converter-out temperature).

compatible with C-4 fluids.

CAUTION:
Disregarding minimum fluid temperature limits
can result in transmission malfunction or reduced transmission life.

CAUTION:
Containers or fillers 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 the clutch plates to fail.

37. TRANSMISSION FLUID


RECOMMENDATIONS
a. Recommended Automatic Transmission
Fluid
1. Hydraulic fluids (oils) used in the transmission
are important influences on transmission performance, reliability, and durability. Use
DEXRON-III fluids for standard duty, onhighway applications. Use C-4 fluids (Allison
approved SAE 10W or SAE 30) for severe
duty and off-highway applications. Also use
type C-4 SAE 30 in all applications where the
ambient temperature is consistently above
95F (35C).
2. Some DEXRON-III fluids are also qualified
as type C-4 fluids. To ensure the fluid is qualified for use in Allison transmissions, check for
a DEXRON-III or C-4 fluid license, or approval numbers on the container, or consult the
lubricant manufacturer. Consult your Allison
Transmission dealer or distributor before using
other fluid types. Fluid types such as Type F,
and universal farm fluids may or may not be
properly qualified for use in your Allison transmission.
3. Before using type C-4 fluids, consult the vehicle manufacturer to ensure that materials used

34

b. Recommended Viscosity Grade. When choosing the optimum viscosity grade of fluid to use, duty
cycle, preheat capabilities, and/or geographical location must be taken into consideration. Table 31 lists
the minimum fluid temperatures at which the transmission may be safely operated. Preheat with auxiliary
heating equipment or by running the vehicle with the
transmission in N (Neutral) for a minimum of 20 minutes before attempting range operation.

38. TRANSMISSION FLUID AND


FILTER CHANGE INTERVALS
Transmission fluid and filter change frequency is determined by the severity of transmission service and
by the filter equipment installed. Table 32 is a general guide. More frequent changes may be required
when the fluid is visually contaminated, when operations subject the transmission to high levels of contamination or overheating, or if fluid analysis indicates that the fluid is oxidized beyond the limits
listed in Table 33.

b. Metal Particles. Metal particles in the fluid (except for the minute particles normally trapped in the
filter) indicate damage has occurred in the transmission. When these particles are found in the sump or on
the magnetic plate in the bottom of the pan, the transmission must be disassembled and closely inspected to
find the source. Metal contamination requires complete disassembly of the transmission and cleaning of
all internal and external circuits, cooler, and all other
areas where the particles could lodge. Refer to application of the auxiliary filter, Paragraph 39d.

Refer to SIL 17-TR-83 for fluid analysis techniques and data interpretation.
Consult your local industrial yellow pages for fluid analysis firms. Use
one fluid analysis firm as results from various firms cannot be accurately
compared. Refer to the Technician's Guide for Automatic Transmission
Fluid (GN2055EN) for additional information.

39. TRANSMISSION FLUID


CONTAMINATION
a. Examine at Fluid Change. At each fluid change,
examine the fluid which is drained for evidence of dirt
or engine coolant (water). A normal amount of condensation will emulsify in the fluid during operation of
the transmission. 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 (heat exchanger) is another sign of leakage.
This may indicate leakage from the engine oil system.
Any accumulation of sludge or soft dirt in the sump
should be removed.

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

c. Coolant Leakage
1. If engine coolant leaks into the transmission
hydraulic system, immediate action must be
taken to prevent malfunction and possible serious damage. The transmission must be completely disassembled, inspected, and cleaned.
All traces of the coolant, and varnish deposits
resulting from coolant contamination, must be
removed. Clutch plates contaminated with ethylene glycol must be replaced.
2. A Gly-Tek test kit to detect glycol in transmission fluid can be obtained from Nelco

NOTE:
Some transmission fluids will give a positive indication because of additives in the fluid. When
test results are questionable, test a clean (unused)
sample of the same type or brand of fluid to confirm results.

5. Use one of the following recommended auxiliary filters:


Filter Assembly
Allison 29510923*
AC PM 16-1
AC PM 13-16
Fram HP 1-2
Purolator OF-15C-1
Purolator PER-20-10
*

d. Auxiliary Filter

NOTE:
Transmissions equipped with a stainless steel sump
screen must have an auxiliary filter in the external
transmission cooling circuit.

1. If a condition occurs that introduces debris into


the hydraulic system, completely clean up the
cooler and lines.
2. Repeated cleaning and flushing may not remove all debris. For models with retarder, replace the main cooler. For models without
retarder, installation of an auxiliary filter (Figure 35) in the cooler-out line (between cooler
and transmission) is required if such a filter
does not already exist. This requirement applies whether the transmission is overhauled or
replaced by a new or rebuilt unit.
3. If any doubt exists about the clean-up of the
cooler, replace the cooler.
4. The auxiliary filter must have a 40 micron or
finer filter element and a maximum filter pressure drop of 3 psi (21 kPa) at 8 gpm (30 liters/
minute) at 180F (82C). The finest filtration
allowed is a filter that removes 100 percent of
all particles larger than 6 micron. The maximum external circuit pressure drop at normal
operating temperature must not exceed 23 psi
(159 kPa) at 2000 rpm in N (Neutral).

High-efficiency filter and element are available from your


authorized Allison distributor. Refer to SIL 12-TR-93
(latest revision).

6. Install the filter in the line from the cooler to


the transmission. Use No. 12 hose (minimum
ID of 58 inch (15.7 mm)) of sufficient length to
permit power pack movement. Hose fittings
must have a minimum ID of 0.484 inch (12.29
mm). The hose must meet SAE 100 R5 specifications, with an operating range of 40 to
330F (40 to 165C).
7. The total cooler circuit (to and from the cooler)
pressure drop must not exceed 23 psi (159 kPa)
in neutral, at 2000 rpm and normal operating
temperature. Filter bypass opening pressure on
units not equipped with a differential pressure
indicator (P switch) must be 59 psi (3462
kPa). The Allison high-efficiency filter has a
P switch that monitors pressure drop across
the filter and illuminates a warning light if the
P exceeds 8 psi (55 kPa). The filter bypass
valve will open if P exceeds 12 psi (82 kPa).
8. External auxiliary filter element change intervals can be determined according to Table 32,
Paragraph 38.

311. BREATHER
The breather is located at the top of the transmission
housing and prevents pressure buildup within the transmission. The breather must be kept clean and the passage
open. The prevalence of dust and dirt determines the frequency at which the breather requires cleaning. Use care
when cleaning the transmission. Spraying steam, water,
or cleaning solution directly at the breather can force the
water or solution into the transmission.

the clutch-apply fluid to either forward or
fourth (reverse) clutch. The resulting low apply
pressure and clutch slippage will affect transmission durability.
Manual selector shafts that are center drilled at
their outer ends require an M10 x 1.5-6G nut
(metric thread). Shafts that are undrilled require a 38-16 nut (standard inch series). Use of
the wrong nut will damage both the shaft and
nut. Torque for either nut is 1520 lb ft (2027
Nm). Excessive torque applied to the nut without holding the lever can damage the internal lever. Do not use an impact wrench.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
1. To install the shift selector lever and nut, refer to
MT 600 Series Mechanics Tips, MT1357EN.
2. Proper adjustment of the shift selector control
linkage is important as the shift selector detents must correspond exactly to those in the
transmission. Periodic inspections should be
made for bent or worn parts, loose threaded
connections, loose bolts, and accumulation of
grease and dirt. All moving joints must be kept
clean and well lubricated. For connecting and
adjusting the shift selector control linkage, refer to MT 600 Series Mechanics Tips,
MT1357EN, or the vehicle manual.
b. Mechanical Actuator Adjustment. The mechanical linkage must be properly adjusted for efficient
performance. For installing and adjusting the mechanical modulator control, refer to MT 600 Series Mechanics Tips, MT1357EN.
c. Other Linkage Adjustments. For adjustments to
other linkage, such as PTO, speedometer, etc., refer to
MT 600 Series Mechanics Tips, MT1357EN.

down-inhibit), and a trimmer regulator check.


If a test stand is not available, satisfactory calibration of shift points may be made after road
testing the vehicle.
b. Location of Adjusting Components
1. Shift points are changed by changing the positions of the adjusting rings that determine the
retaining force of valve springs in the main
control valve body. Refer to items 10, 17, 23,
29, and 46 (Foldout 13 or 14) and 14 (Foldout
15,B).
2. Special tool J 24314 is used to depress and rotate the adjusting rings. Clockwise rotation increases spring force and raises the shift point;
counterclockwise rotation reduces spring force
and lowers the shift point.
NOTE:
Each notch of adjustment alters the shift point approximately 40 output shaft rpm.

313. ADJUSTMENT OF SHIFT POINTS


c. Checks Before Adjusting Shift Points
NOTE:
Transmission shift points cannot be satisfactorily
adjusted if the transmission has the wrong governor
installed. Check the two- or three-digit code on the
head of the governor with the code shown in the
current Parts Catalog PC1316EN for the governor
listed for your transmission assembly number.
a. Calibrated on Test Stand or in Vehicle
1. Proper timing of shift speed points is necessary
for maximum transmission performance. Shifts
may be adjusted on the test stand when the
transmission is rebuilt or overhauled, or during
road testing of the vehicle.
2. A Kent Moore Valve and Governor Test Stand
(J 25000) or Aidco (Model 250) is designed to
check five principle transmission functions. It
performs a checking procedure on the governor, modulator, hold regulator, shift points (up-

1. For calibration during a road test or on a test


stand, warm up the transmission or test stand
setup to the normal operating temperature of
160200F (7193C).
2. Check the engine no-load governor setting, and
adjust if required, to conform to the transmissions engine speed requirements.
3. Check the engine for satisfactory performance
before checking shift points.
4. For diesel applications, check the linkage that
controls the mechanical or electrical modulator
valve actuator for proper travel, routing, and
operation. For most gasoline applications,
check the condition and routing of vacuum
modulator lines, hoses, and connections.
5. Check the selector linkage for proper range selection.

6. Provide accurate instrumentation for observing
speeds, temperatures, pressures, vacuum, etc.

5. Refer to Sections 5, 6, and 7 for procedures


covering removal and replacement of affected
components.

d. Calibration by Road Test Method


e. Calibration by Speedometer Readings Method
NOTE:
Before road test, determine the vehicle tachometer
error with a test tachometer. Make corrections for
error, as required, in subsequent tests.

1. When a tachometer is not available for checking shift points, the vehicle speedometer can
be used.

1. Note the full-load governed speed of the engine. This is the base speed from which checks
and adjustments are made.

2. Check the top speed of the vehicle in each selector hold position (first, second, and third
ranges for MT 640, 643; second, third, and
fourth ranges for MT 650, 653). Record the top
speed for each.

2. Subtract 200 rpm from the governed speed recorded and record the remainder as the desired speed for all automatic upshifts, except
the 12 shift of the MT 640, 643 and the 23
shift of the MT 650, 653. The latter two shifts
should occur at full-load governed speed, less
600 rpm.

3. For checking the shift points, place the selector


at D (Drive) so that all automatic shifts can occur. Drive the vehicle at full throttle from a
standing start until the 34 (MT 640, 643) or
45 (MT 650, 653) upshift occurs. Record the
mph at which each upshift occurs.

3. Drive the vehicle and check the engine speed


(at full throttle) at which each upshift occurs.
Each upshift should occur at the speeds specified in Step (2).
4. If an upshift speed does not reach the specified
rpm, the shift point may be raised by adjusting
(increasing) the spring force on the 12, 23,
34, or 45 shift signal valve. If the upshift
speed exceeds the specified rpm, or if upshift
does not occur at all, the spring force must be
reduced. Adjust the force only on springs for
valves that do not upshift at the proper speed.
NOTE:
If more than one shift signal valve spring requires
adjustment in the same direction, it may be necessary to adjust the spring force on the modulator
valve in the same direction. If not adjusted, the
closed throttle downshifts may be abnormally high
or low depending on the direction the shift signal
adjusting rings were rotated. If all full throttle upshift points are too low by approximately the same
amount, check adjustment of the modulator external linkage.

312

4. Compare the upshift speeds with the hold


speeds recorded in Step (2). The 23 upshift
in the MT 640, 643 should occur at approximately two mph below the top speed of second range; the 34 upshift two mph below the
top speed of third range. The 34 and 45 upshifts for the MT 650, 653 should occur approximately two mph below the top speeds of
third and fourth range, respectively. The 12
(MT 640, 643) and 23 (MT 650, 653) upshifts are not to be adjusted relative to hold
speed. The 21 downshift (MT 640, 643) or
32 downshift (MT 650, 653) at closed throttle should occur at 35 mph (48 km/h).
f. Calibration by Test Stand Method
1. Tables 34 through 310 provide detailed information required for adjusting shift points on
transmissions matched to engines having governed speeds from 2200 to 4000 rpm.
2. The adjustment procedures are as outlined in
Paragraph 313b, except the base for checks
and adjustments is output shaft speed instead
of engine governed speed. Individual output
shaft speed ranges are given for each shift.

NOTES: Governor schedule testing requires main pressure to be 150 psi (1035 kPa) minimum and fluid temperature to be 100 10 F (38 5 C).
No adjustments are possible, but the internal valve may be removed and cleaned to ensure free operation. Refer to the current Parts Catalog PC1316EN
for kit part number with instructions.

314. OIL COOLER


Transmission operation at abnormally high temperatures can cause clogging of the oil cooler as well as
transmission failure. Clean the oil cooler system thoroughly after each major or minor rebuild. Failure to
clean the cooler system may cause poor performance,
overheating, and transmission damage. Recommendations for cleaning or flushing the oil cooler are in the
vehicle service manual.

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 the actual engine
speed at full throttle stall with established vehicle manufacturer's specifications.

NOTE:

315. TRANSMISSION STALL TEST

Engine stall point data can be obtained from the vehicle manufacturer or from the equipment dealer or
distributor.

a. Purpose
1. Stall testing is performed to determine whether
a power complaint is due to an engine problem
or a transmission malfunction.

326

4. Stall tests are used as troubleshooting procedures only do not perform them as general
checks or maintenance.

Copyright 1996 General Motors Corp.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
b. Stall Test Preparation

CAUTION:

1. Make sure the fuel control linkage goes to full


throttle and does not stick when released.
2. Check the air induction system for restrictions.
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.

WARNING!
While conducting a stall check, the vehicle must
be positively prevented from moving. Apply the
parking and service brake, and block the wheels
securely. Warn personnel to keep clear of the vehicle and its travel path. Failure to do so can
cause serious injury.

For the MT 653, do not select the D1 position.


The extremely high torque produced in this
range may damage the transmission and/or the
vehicle drive line.
NOTE:
For vehicles with engines not equipped with smoke
controls, proceed to Paragraph 315c.
For vehicles with engines equipped with smoke
controls, skip Paragraph 315c and proceed to
Paragraph 315d.
c. Stall Test Procedures Vehicles Without
Smoke-Controlled Engines
1. Apply the vehicle parking and service brakes.
2. Shift to D (Drive).
3. Slowly accelerate to full throttle.
4. When the tachometer levels off, record the
maximum engine rpm attained.

6. Block the vehicle wheels.

5. Slowly release the throttle.


7. Start the engine and let the transmission sump
warm to normal operating temperature (160
200F; 7193C).
8. Perform a hot check of the transmission fluid
level and adjust as necessary.
9. Turn all engine accessories OFF.

6. Shift to N (Neutral).
7. Skip Paragraph 315d and proceed immediately with Paragraph 315e Cool-Down
Check.
d. Stall Test Procedures Vehicles With
Smoke-Controlled Engines

10. Notify everyone to stay clear of the vehicle.


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 let the converter-out fluid temperature exceed 300F
(149C). Do not rely on converter-out fluid temperature to limit stall duration. During stall conditions, internal temperatures rise much faster
than converter-out fluid temperatures. Allow
the system to cool down between stall checks by
performing the cool-down as described in Paragraph 315e. If the stall test is repeated, do not
let the engine overheat.
If the unit does not have a converter-out temperature gauge, do not stall the converter.

NOTE:
Because smoke controls and throttle-delay mechanisms inhibit engine acceleration, the stall testing may
need to be performed while the vehicle is moving.
1. Locate an isolated area to perform the driving
stall test.
2. Select a hold range that will limit road speed
(usually 2nd or 3rd range).
3. Operate the engine at full throttle, maximum
governed rpm.
4. Slowly depress the vehicle service brakes
while staying at full throttle.
5. When the vehicle comes to a stop, record the
engine rpm. This is the stall speed.

327

MT(B) 640, 643, 650, 653 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS


6. Proceed immediately with Paragraph 315e
Cool-Down Check.
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. At the end of two minutes, record the converter-out fluid temperature. Converter-out
fluid temperature should return to within the
limits of normal operation.
f. Results
NOTE:
Environmental conditions, such as ambient temperature, altitude, engine accessory loss variations, etc.,
affect the power input to the converter. Under such
conditions, a stall speed deviation up to 150 rpm
from specification can be accepted as within normal
range.
1. An engine stall speed more than 150 rpm below the stall speed specified by the engine
manufacturer indicates an engine problem,
such as the need for a tune-up.
2. An engine stall speed more than 150 rpm
above specification indicates a transmission
problem, 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 freewheeling torque converter stator.
4. If the engine stall speed conforms to specification, but the transmission fluid overheats, refer
to the cool-down check. If the fluid does not
cool during the two-minute cool-down check, a
stuck torque converter stator could be indicated.
328

5. If the engine stall speed conforms to specification and the cool-down check shows that the
transmission fluid cools properly, refer to Table
311, Paragraph 322 for troubleshooting procedures.

316. 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 inside 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 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 oil. Preservation methods are presented for storage with and without transmission fluid.
c. Storage, One Year Without
Transmission Fluid
1. Drain the transmission fluid.
2. If the breather can be easily removed, spray
one ounce (30 milliliters) of VCI #10 (or
equivalent) into the transmission through the
breather hole. Spray one ounce (30 milliliters)
through the fill tube. If the breather cannot be
removed, spray two ounces (60 milliliters)
through the fill tube hole.
3. Seal all openings and the breather with moisture-proof tape.
4. Coat all exposed, unpainted surfaces with preservative grease such as petrolatum (MIL-C11796, Class 2).
5. If additional storage time is required, repeat
Steps (2) through (4) at yearly intervals.
d. Storage, One Year With Transmission Fluid
(Normally in a Vehicle Chassis)
1. Drain the transmission fluid and replace the filter element(s) if required.

Copyright 1996 General Motors Corp.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
2. Fill the transmission to operating level with a
mixture of one part VCI #10 (or equivalent) to
30 parts Allison-approved transmission fluid.
Refer to Paragraph 310. Add 14 teaspoon of
Biobor JF (or equivalent) for each 3 gallons
(1 ml for every 10 liters) of fluid in the system.
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. Drive the vehicle. Make sure the transmission
shifts through all ranges. If the transmission is
equipped with a converter lockup clutch, make
sure the lockup clutch activates.
5. Continue running the engine at 1500 rpm with
the transmission in N (Neutral) until normal
operating temperature is reached.

WARNING!
Apply the parking brake, service brake, and
block the vehicle securely. Warn personnel to
keep clear of the vehicle and its travel path. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.

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 let the converter-out fluid temperature exceed 300F
(149C). Do not rely on converter-out fluid temperature to limit stall duration. During stall conditions, internal temperatures rise much faster
than converter-out fluid temperatures. Allow
the system to cool down between stall checks by
performing the cool-down as described in Paragraph 315e. If the stall test is repeated, do not
let the engine overheat.
If the unit does not have a converter-out temperature gauge, do not stall the converter.
6. If normal operating temperature is less than
225F (107C), with the vehicle wheels
blocked and the parking brake and service

brake applied, shift the transmission to D


(Drive) and stall the converter. When converter-out temperature reaches 225F (107C)
stop the engine. Do not exceed 225F (107C).
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. It is
not necessary to drain the transmission each
year; just add VCI #10 and Biobor JF (or
equivalents).
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 as specified in Paragraphs 35 and 37.
4. If the transmission was prepared for storage
without transmission fluid, drain the residual
oil and replace the filter element(s) if required.
Refill the transmission to the proper level as
specified in Paragraphs 35 and 37.
5. If the transmission was prepared for storage
with transmission fluid, it is not necessary to
drain and refill the transmission with new
transmission fluid. Check for proper fluid level
as specified in Paragraph 35. Add or drain
fluid as required to obtain the proper level.

43. REPLACEMENT PARTS

WARNING!
Do not burn discarded Teflon seals; toxic gases
are produced by burning.

a. Ordering Information. Refer to the current Parts


Catalog PC1316EN for parts information.

44. CAREFUL HANDLING


b. Parts Normally Replaced. The following parts
are normally replaced at each transmission overhaul.
Gaskets
Lockstrips
Washers or snaprings damaged by removal
Piston sealrings, oil seals

48 in.
(120 cm)

During all rebuild procedures, handle parts and subassemblies carefully to prevent nicking, scratching, and
denting. Parts which have close operating tolerances
can bind if damaged. Parts which depend upon smooth
surfaces for sealing may leak if scratched. Control
valves, when dry, must move freely by their own
weight in their bores. Carefully handle and protect
such parts during removal, cleaning, inspection, and
installation. Keep the parts in clean containers while
awaiting installation.

45. CLEANING AND INSPECTION
a. Dirt-Free Assembly. All parts must be clean to
permit effective inspection. It is very important that no
dirt or foreign material be allowed to enter the transmission. Even minute particles can cause the malfunction of close-fit parts, such as valves.
b. Cleaning Parts
1. Clean all metallic parts of the transmission
thoroughly with mineral spirits or by steamcleaning. 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 to prevent rust.
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. Removing minor defects with tools such as
crocus cloth, honing stones, and scrapers produces debris and residue. Cover adjacent parts
and cavities before removing defects. Thoroughly reclean the affected areas after the repair work.
6. Use only petroleum base solvents for cleaning
oil seals. Solvents such as trichloroethylene,
benzol, acetone, and all aromatics are harmful
to seals made from polyacrylate rubber.

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.
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 the bearing housing and shaft for
grooved, burred, or galled conditions that
would indicate that the bearing had been turning in the bore or on the shaft. If the damage
cannot be repaired with crocus cloth, replace
the defective part.

CAUTION:
Replace any bearing that has been subjected to
metal contamination (Paragraph 39b).
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. Observe the following
rules to ensure maximum bearing life.
1. Do not remove the wrapper from new bearings
until ready to install them.
2. Do not remove the grease in which new bearings are packed.

c. Cleaning Bearings

3. Do not lay bearings on a dirty bench; place


them on clean paper or lint-free cloth.

WARNING!

4. If assembly is not to be completed at once,


wrap or cover the exposed bearings with clean
paper or lint-free cloth to keep out dust.

Never dry bearings with compressed air. A spinning bearing can disintegrate allowing balls or
rollers to become lethal flying projectiles. Also,
spinning a bearing without lubrication can damage the bearing.
1. Wash bearings that have been in service thoroughly in mineral spirits.
412

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.

GENERAL OVERHAUL INFORMATION


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 high hydraulic pressure. Inserts used in high pressure areas will leak fluid.
5. Inspect snapring grooves in the transmission
housing for nicks or shavings that would prevent the snaprings from fully seating in the
grooves. Clean up any damage with crocus
cloth.
6. 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.

9. Inspect the hydraulic circuit tracks in the valve


body and main housing for porosity, broken
lands, cracks, dirt, and land surface imperfections. The tracks identified in Figure 48 will
assist in locating troubled areas.
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 the 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 Oil Seals, Gaskets
1. Replace all sealrings (except hook-type), oil
seals, and composition gaskets.
2. Inspect hook-type sealrings for wear, broken
hooks, and distortion.

NOTE:
Some torque converter turbines and stators have
casting irregularities near the outer edge of the turbine and stator vanes. These shut marks are not
cracks and are not detrimental to the operation of
the transmission.
7. Inspect all machined surfaces for damage that
could cause fluid leakage or other malfunction
of the part. Rework or replace the defective
parts.
8. Inspect parts for discoloration. Replace any
parts (e.g. a carrier and spindles) where discoloration indicates exposure to excessive heat.

3. Install a new hook-type sealring if the old 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 (0.127 mm) maximum side wear. The sides of the shaft groove
(or the bore) into which the sealring fits should
be smooth to 50 microinches (1.27 micrometers) 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 Gears

CAUTION:

CAUTION:
Distortions and imperfections in the hydraulic
circuit tracks will cause severe fluid leakage leading to transmission failure.

Do not attempt to correct the governor driven


gear with the use of a soft stone. If the governor
driven gear is scuffed, nicked, burred, or has broken teeth, replace the governor assembly.

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 scratches and scores
cannot be removed with a soft stone, replace
the gear.
j. Inspecting Shafts
1. Inspect shafts closely for cracks. Cracks originating at the lube oil holes may appear just below the surface.
414

2. If the turbine shaft is cracked or broken (indicating the transmission was exposed to high
torsional loads), magnaflux the main shaft and
closely inspect the lube oil holes.
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 the
part if damage cannot be cleaned up.

GENERAL OVERHAUL INFORMATION


m. Inspecting Snaprings. Inspect all snaprings for
nicks, distortion, and excessive wear. Replace a
snapring if any of these defects are 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 one of these
defects is found. Refer to Table 82, Spring Data for
spring inspection criteria.
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.
2. Inspect steel plates (external-tanged plates) for
burrs, scoring, excessive wear, cone, distortion,
embedded metal, galling, cracks, breaks, and
damaged tangs. Remove burrs and minor surface irregularities, using a soft honing stone.
Replace plates which have other defects.

q. Inspecting Balls in Clutch Housings. Inspect all


balls in rotating clutch housings for free movement.
The minimum movement is 0.040 inch (1.02 mm).
Any restriction could prevent the ball from seating
during clutch application. Inspect staking that retains
the balls.
r. Inspecting Seal Contact Surfaces
1. Inspect the surfaces that contact the sealing
area or lip of any seal. Correct any roughness,
scoring, pitting, or wear that permits transmission fluid leakage or causes damage to the seal.
Replace the affected part if defects cannot be
corrected.
2. Inspect sealring groove thrust faces for wear
and surface finish condition. There must be no
step, edge lip, or rough finish on the face. The
thrust face of the sealring groove is always the
face that is farthest from the fluid feed area between a pair of seals.

46. ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES


a. Clutches, Pistons

3. The amount of cone in a clutch plate is determined by measuring the distance between the
ID of the plate and a flat surface (Figure 49).
Discard plates having excessive cone. Refer to
Table 81, Wear Limits.

1. Establish clutch pack clearances prior to assembly. After clearances have been established, soak friction-faced 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.

p. Inspecting Swaged, Interference-Fit Parts. If


there is evidence of looseness, replace the assembly.

2. Apply a generous amount of transmission fluid


to the piston cavity prior to final assembly.

LEVEL SURFACE

CLUTCH PLATE

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.
c. External Pipe Plugs, Hydraulic Fittings

Measure here for cone

V00778

Figure 49. Method of Measuring Clutch Plate Cone

CAUTION:
Inaccurate torque can cause leakage and cracked
housings. Tighten all pipe plugs to the torque
specified in the assembly step and on the exploded views.

415

MT(B) 640, 643, 650, 653 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS


1. New Precoated Plugs. New plugs that are precoated with Teflon need no preparation for
assembly.
2. 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.
d. Oil-Soluble Grease

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 any substance as a gasket retainer.
1. Low temperature grease (petrolatum) must be
used for internal assembly. The grease must be
soluble in DEXRON-III or Allison-approved
C-4 transmission fluid. Petrolatum equivalent
to MIL-VV-P-36 or Amojell petrolatum
(Amoco Oil Co.) is recommended to temporarily retain butt-joint sealrings, hook-type
sealrings, and other parts during assembly with
mating parts. The oil-soluble grease will help
keep the sealrings centered in their grooves and
will help protect the parts from damage.
2. High temperature grease having good oxidation and water resistance should be used at the
ID of the output and input shaft fluid seals.
3. If adhesives or sealants 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.

the inside of the unit). Coat the inside of the


seal with high temperature grease such as
MIL-G-3545A, Mobil Grease No. 28 (Mobil
Oil Co.), Aeroshell Grease No. 22 (Shell Oil
Co.), or equivalent, to protect the seal during
shaft installation and to provide lubrication
during initial operation.
2. Allison seals are 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. If the circumference of a seal is not precoated
with a dry sealant, apply a non-hardening sealant, such as Permatex #2, to the circumference of these seals before installation.
f. Butt-Joint Sealrings

CAUTION:
If humidity is allowed to penetrate and expand a
butt-joint sealring, the sealring can be damaged
during installation. A damaged sealring will leak
fluid from the clutch piston cavity and cause
clutch slippage. Do not open the airtight package
until you are ready to install the sealring.
1. Check the end clearance prior to installing the
sealring to ensure that the sealring has not expanded.
2. Remove the sealring from the airtight package
and place it in the bore.
3. Using a feeler gauge, check the end clearance
of the sealring. The end clearance must not be
less than 0.010 inch (0.25 mm).

e. Lip-Type Seals (Metal-Encased)

4. If the end clearance is less than 0.010 inch


(0.25 mm), heat the sealring in an oven at 200
300F (93149C) for 24 hours or get a new
sealring. Repeat Steps (2) and (3) to ensure
that the end clearance is correct.

CAUTION:

5. Pack the sealring groove with a liberal amount


of oil-soluble grease.

Do not use high-temperature grease on transmission internal parts.


1. When replacing metal-encased lip-type seals,
make sure the spring-loaded lip side is toward
the transmission fluid to be sealed in (toward
416

6. Roll the sealring to about half its free diameter


and hold it for about 10 seconds. Being careful
not to spread the sealring more than necessary,
slide it onto the hub. Place one end of the sealring into the groove and gradually work the
seal into the groove.

GENERAL OVERHAUL INFORMATION


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 hot transmission fluid bath to
300F (149C), and the male part can be chilled in dry
ice. Either one or both parts may require a thermal
process. 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.
h. Sleeve-Type Bearings and Bushings. The use of
a locking compound such as Loctite Sleeve Retainer
601TM or equivalent is recommended to retain
bushings and sleeve-type bearings that have press-fit
tolerances.

3. Use expanding-type snapring pliers to spread


the snapring fully into the groove. Tapping the
snapring with a screwdriver or drift and hammer may not ensure that the snapring is fully
expanded into the groove.

47. REMOVING (OR INSTALLING)


TRANSMISSION
a. Drain Transmission Fluid. Drain the transmission fluid from the transmission before removal from
the vehicle (Paragraph 310). For better drainage, the
transmission should be warm. Since applications differ, consult the vehicle service manual for specific instructions for transmission removal and installation.

i. Bearings (Ball or Roller)


1. When installing a bearing on a shaft, heat the
bearing to 200F (93C) in an oven or in a
transmission fluid bath. Bearings must be
heated long enough for sufficient expansion.
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 a hammer, driving against the supported
race.

b. Check Linkages and Lines. Make sure all


linkages, controls, cooler lines, modulator actuator
cable, temperature connection, input and output
couplings, transmission fluid fill tube, parking brake
linkage, mounting bolts, etc., are disconnected before
transmission removal. Carefully place hydraulic lines
out of the way of damage and cover all openings to
keep out dirt.
NOTE:
Position jack or hoist sling to coincide with the
transmission center of gravity.
c. Retain Torque Converter
1. The torque converter is free to move forward
when the transmission is disconnected from
the engine.

j. Clutch Snaprings

CAUTION:
Snaprings that retain clutch packs must be fully
seated in the grooves in the main housing. If the
snapring is not fully seated in its groove, it can
come out of the groove and cause extensive damage.
1. Check the snapring groove in the main housing
for debris, nicks, burrs, or shavings prior to installing the snapring. A burr or shaving can be
raised when the snapring is removed.
2. Install the snapring with the ends at the twelve
oclock position to avoid scratches in the hydraulic passages at the bottom of the main
housing bore.

CAUTION:
Do not allow the torque converter to separate
from the transmission while the transmission is
being removed from the vehicle.
2. Install a retaining strap to hold the converter in
place as soon as the transmission is clear of its
mountings.
d. Clean Transmission. Clean the exterior of the
transmission. If steam cleaning is used, disassemble
and dry the transmission immediately because
condensation from the steam could cause rust in the
transmission.

MT(B) 640, 643, 650, 653 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS


e. Transmission Installation
1. Use a transmission jack to raise the transmission into mounting position. Mount the transmission.
2. Make all connections from the vehicle to the
transmission. Refer to the vehicles service
manual and Paragraph 312 in this manual for
control linkage adjustment procedures.
3. Verify all mechanical and electrical connections.
4. Fill the transmission with transmission fluid
(Paragraph 35 through 310) and road test after installation.

48. WEAR LIMITS


Refer to Table 81 for general and specific information
covering parts fits, clearances, and wear limits.

49. SPRING SPECIFICATIONS

charts on the foldouts are keyed by capital letters to


correspond with capital letters at the end of items in
the legend. All torque values are for dry assembly unless a lubricant is specified in the assembly procedure.
Transmission fluid on threads has little effect on
torque.

411. SELECTIVE PARTS


a. Certain parts are provided in graduated thicknesses to provide proper running clearances. These
parts are selected and matched during the manufacturing process to compensate for machining tolerances.
Selectively matched parts are assembled in the transmission and must be retained with a particular transmission until the parts are replaced. If a selective part
is replaced, related components must be selected to retain the proper running clearances.

NOTE:

Refer to Table 82 for spring identification and specifications.

410. TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS


Torque specifications are given with each assembly
procedure. The exploded view foldouts state torque
specifications for all threaded fasteners and plugs. The

To maintain the relationship of matched components, identify the related parts during assembly.

b. If any of the parts listed in Table 42 require


replacement, make appropriate measurements to
reestablish the proper running clearance within the
affected parts group.

12. Position stator assembly 24 on the work table
so that freewheel roller race 32 is upward. Remove the roller race by rotating it clockwise
while lifting it out of the converter stator.
13. Remove ten rollers 34 and ten springs 33 from
stator assembly 24.
14. Check needle bearing assembly 31. Wash and
flush the needle bearing assembly thoroughly
with mineral spirits. Dry and lubricate the assembly with transmission fluid. Replace freewheel race 32 only and rotate the bearing while
pressing upon the freewheel race. If there is no
roughness or binding, the needle bearing assembly may be left in the stator and cam assembly and reused. Do not mistake dirt or grit
for a damaged needle bearing. Reclean and lubricate the needle bearing if dirt is suspected.
Check the needle bearing end of freewheel race
32 for smooth finish. Replace the freewheel
race if the bearing end is scratched or contains
chatter marks.

15. If needle bearing assembly 31 needs replacement, follow Steps (16) through (18). If replacement is not necessary, proceed to Step
(19).

CAUTION:
Do not scratch or nick any stator bores. Do not
attempt to disassemble the stator and cam assembly, unless parts replacement is required. Refer to the rebuild procedure in Paragraph 63c.

16. If the needle bearing must be replaced, remove


it carefully to avoid nicking the aluminum bore
in which it is held.

The valve body assembly contains springs and
other parts, some of which are similar and can
be mistakenly interchanged. Also, springs vary
in valve bodies used on different models. If parts
are not reinstalled in the same locations from

Models that have bearing 45 (Foldout 6) do not
require bushing 6 (Foldout 7,A).
17. Determine the serviceability of the sealring
grooves on the front support hub. Insert (do not
force) gauge J 29198-2 into the groove on the
front support hub. Rotate the gauge 360 degrees around the hub. If the gauge does not rotate freely, the support is damaged and should
be repaired or replaced.
618

If the front support sealring grooves are determined to


be unserviceable in Paragraph 68a(17), rework the
sealring hub. Refer to Figure 628 for sleeve material
information, machining instructions, and installation
directions.

NOTE:
If an oil seal installer is not available, install the seal
(spring loaded lip first) into the seal bore of the oil
pump. On models with bushing 6, press the seal to
0.0100.020 inch (0.250.51 mm) below the front
surface of the pump body. On models without bushing 6, press the seal to 0.0300.050 inch (0.761.27
mm) below the front surface of the pump body.
2. If oil seal 3 was removed from oil pump body
7, install a new seal. Place the oil pump body
on the work table, flat side down. Seat the oil
seal, with the spring-loaded lip facing away
from the tool, on installer J 24449-A (for
charging pumps with bushing 6) or J 26912-A
(for charging pumps without bushing 6). Attach driver handle J 24202-4 to the oil seal installer. Drive the seal into the pump housing
(Figure 630). Remove the seal installer and
apply a high temperature seal lubricant such as
MILG3545A to the ID of the oil seal.

c. Assembly (Foldout 7,B)
1. If turbine shaft 5 was removed, press a new
shaft to a firm seat against housing 6. A minimum of 250 lb (11.12 kN) press-out force is
required to ensure a satisfactory fit. The total
runout must be within 0.005 inch (0.127 mm).
2. On all models with the centrifugal valve provision, inspect centrifugal valve parts 8, 9, 10,
and 11 for damage. If damaged, replace with
new parts. The color code of any new part must
be the same as the color code of the part replaced. Parts 9, 10, and 11 must be identically
coded.
3. Install centrifugal valve 11 (conical end first)
into its bore in forward clutch housing 6. Place
spring 10 inside the valve. Compress the spring
with valve plug 9 and retain the spring and
plug with retainer pin 8.
4. If check balls 7 were removed, replace them.
Place each ball in its bore. Stake each bore at
three equally spaced places. Each bore is properly staked when the ball has at least 0.040
inch (1.02 mm) axial movement, and when the
ball is retained by the stakes when a 30 lb
(133 N) load is applied against the ball.
5. Before completing the assembly, establish the
clutch clearance. To check clearance by direct
measurement follow Steps (6) through (10).
Direct measurement must be used on transmissions modified with a spring apply forward
clutch piston. For other models, an alternate
method is the stack dimension computation
outlined in Paragraph 623b.
6. Position clutch housing and shaft assembly 3
(shaft downward) on a work table. Lubricate
and install piston sealrings 14 and 15 into their
grooves in the hub of housing 6 and piston 16.
Make sure the sealring lips face toward the
fluid pressure side of the piston (Figure 641).
If the transmission has been modified to include a spring apply forward clutch piston, install a spring into each of the twenty-four
machined bores of the piston. Install the piston
into the housing.
7. Alternately install five external-tanged plates
22 and five internal-splined plates 23, starting
with an external-tanged plate. Install fourth
clutch driving hub 24 and retain it with
snapring 25.
626

8. Hold the fourth clutch driving hub firmly


against the snapring and, using forward clutch
clearance gauge J 26913, check the clearance
between the fourth clutch driving hub and the
internal-splined clutch plate. The correct forward clutch clearance is 0.0790.130 inch
(2.013.30 mm) for standard piston units (Figure 641), and 0.0050.096 inch (0.1272.44
mm) for spring apply piston units. When the
clearance is correct, the first step of the gauge
fits between the hub and plate, and the second
step does not.
9. If the clearance is excessive (the second step of
the gauge fits), replace the thinner clutch plates
with new plates. If the clearance is still excessive after all ten plates and fourth clutch drive
hub have been replaced, a thicker piston is required. Refer to the current Parts Catalog
PC1316EN for selection of a thicker piston.
10. If the clearance is insufficient (the first step of
the gauge does not fit), a thinner piston is required. Refer to the current Parts Catalog
PC1316EN for selection of a thinner piston.

17 and spring retainer 18, and position
snapring 19 on the housing hub. Using compressor J 6438-01, compress the spring retainer
sufficiently to install the snapring into its
groove in the housing hub.

CAUTION:
For earlier models, the use of oil-soluble grease to
retain bearing races and bearing assemblies is
very important. Failure to center bearing races
or assemblies before the forward clutch assembly
is installed (Paragraph 73q), can prevent proper
assembly. Extensive damage could result from
improper assembly.

install five external-tanged plates 22 and five


internal-splined plates 23 (selected in Step (9)
or removed in Step (11)), starting with an external-tanged plate.
NOTE:
Excessive taper may cause snapring 25 to become
dislodged from the snapring groove. The difference
of thickness between the outside of the snapring and
the inside must not exceed 0.0015 inch (0.038 mm).
16. Install fourth clutch driving hub 24 and retain
it with snapring 25 (Figure 643). Install PTO
gear snapring 12 onto forward clutch housing
6. Install the PTO gear (chamfered ID first)

Figure 649. Removing Push-On Nuts


and Spring Retainer

9. Determine the serviceability of the sealring


grooves on the center support hub. Insert (do
not force) gauge J 29198-2 into the groove on
the center support hub. Rotate the gauge 360
degrees around the hub. If the gauge does not
rotate freely, the support is damaged and
should be repaired or replaced.

2. For later models, remove oil filter 24 and sealring 23 from center support 16.

b. Rework Center Support Anchor Bolt Hole


(Foldout 8,B)

3. Remove third clutch piston 9 and second clutch


piston 19, with attached parts.

CAUTION:

4. Remove inner sealrings 10 and 18 and outer


sealrings 11 and 17 from pistons 9 and 19.
5. If parts replacement is necessary, disassemble
the two piston assemblies. Cut the push-on
nuts to prevent damaging the piston projections
(Figure 649). Remove four push-on nuts 6 or
22, spring retainer ring 7 or 21, and twenty
springs 8 or 20 from each piston.

Do not attempt this rework procedure unless adequate machining facilities are available.
1. Starting with S/N 2410260655, a longer (38-16
x 3 inch) patch lock anchor bolt 54 (Foldout
10,A) and a chamfered washer 55 are used.

Thrust Bearing Race Assembly (Foldout 8,B)
1. Later models incorporate a one piece thrust
bearing race assembly 15 (Foldout 8,A). Center supports prior to S/N 2410226363 require a
rework to ensure correct fluid flow and proper
positioning of the bearing.
2. Secure the center support with the 0.156 inch
(3.96 mm) diameter lube hole on the sealring
side facing up (Figure 651).
3. Using a number 15 (14 x 1 inch) or number 91
(14 x 34 inch) woodruff key cutter wheel or
equivalent, undercut the area to the front of the
lube hole 0.090 inch (2.29 mm) deep and 0.250
inch (6.35 mm) wide (Figure 651). Do not cut
a groove around the entire circumference of the
hub. Cut only the area the length of the hole diameter. Clean all chips out of the center support.
4. With the black oxide race facing upward, make
sure there is clearance around the widest lip of
the race for fluid flow to bearing 15 and the
third clutch.
d. Rework of Non-Eccentric Center Support to
Eccentric Support (Foldout 8,B)

NOTE:
Transmissions S/N 2410260655 and later have an
eccentric center support in which the bushing bore
is slightly offset from center. This provides improved shaft alignment at normal transmission operating temperature. The center support in
transmissions prior to S/N 2410260655 may be reworked to provide the offset by machining the center support OD and installing shim 29 under the
support.

CAUTION:

NOTE: Do not cut groove around the entire circumference of


the hub, cut only the area the length of the hole diameter.

This rework applies for non-eccentric center

622. GOVERNOR
a. Disassembly
1. The governor may be disassembled for cleaning and inspection. Inspect the governor driven
gear for scuffed, nicked, burred, or broken
teeth. Any damage or wear requires governor
assembly replacement. Do not disassemble the
governor unless the kit consisting of two governor weight pins and the cover gasket is available.
2. Follow the directions furnished with the kit to
disassemble the governor.
b. Assembly
1. Assemble the governor as outlined in the directions furnished with the governor service kit.
2. Check the governor port openings as outlined
in the kit instructions. Refer to Figure 6105.

623. CLUTCH STACK MEASUREMENT


a. Methods. When assembly line overhaul practices
are used, stack dimension computation may be more
convenient than direct measurement. To obtain accurate dimensions, the stack to be measured must have
new clutch plates, and the applied load must be evenly
distributed over the entire clutch pack.

624. PLANETARY CARRIER


ASSEMBLIES
NOTE:
The disassembly and assembly procedures for all
the planetary carrier assemblies in the MT 600 Series transmissions differ only in the proper tool selection for the specific carrier assembly. Refer to
the tool chart and Figure 6111 for specific use and
the identity of the carrier (front, center, rear, low)
and tools involved. If the tool is common to all of
the planetary carrier assemblies, its number is
listed in the text. If the tool is not common, the text
refers to the chart. For planetary carrier detailed
information, refer to the exploded views at the
back of this manual.
The hydraulic press used with J 25587-01 planetary rebuilding set (Figure 6111) should have a
ten-ton (9072 kg) capacity, an adjustable press bed
of 25 inches (64 cm) minimum opening, and a pressure gauge to assist in determining proper installation and staking of the pinion pins.
a. Assembly Inspection

Stack Dimension

2. Check the end play of the planetary carrier pinions. With the thrust washer (either rotating or
non-rotating type) held flat against the pinion,
insert a feeler gauge between the carrier and
thrust washer. End play with rotating thrust
washers must be within 0.0080.031 inch
(0.200.79 mm). End play with non-rotating
thrust washers must be within 0.0040.031
inch (0.100.79 mm).
NOTE:
Do not disassemble the carrier assembly unless
parts replacement is necessary. Failure of one pinion requires replacement of the entire matched pinion gear set, pinion pins, and bearings.
Depending on the amount of labor (machining the
bushing), time, parts replacement, and extent of rework, complete replacement of the assembly may
be more practical.
b. Removal of Pinion Components
1. Using a drill that is slightly smaller than the
pinion pin diameter, drill into the swaged (rear)
end on the pins (only one end required). Do not
drill into the carrier. The rear ends of all pinion
pins except those in the center carrier assembly
662

1. Fabricate six dummy pinion pins to the dimensions shown in Figure 6112 or 6113.
2. Place the carrier on a work table, rear downward.
3. Press the bushing from the carrier. Do not
scratch or score the bushing bore. Refer to
Paragraph 45g(1).
4. Place the carrier in a press, rear downward.
5. Apply Loctite Sleeve Retainer No. 601 (or
equivalent) to the OD of the new bushings. Using bushing installer tool J 24469, install the
new bushing into the bore of the front planetary carrier. Press the bushing 0.2650.275
inch (6.736.99 mm) below its adjacent surface (Figure 6112). Using bushing installer
tool J 24472, install the new bushing into the
bore of the low planetary carrier. Press the
bushing flush to 0.010 inch (0.25 mm) below
its adjacent surface (Figure 6113). Remove
excess Loctite from the carriers.
6. Using a lathe with a four jaw chuck, mount the
carrier with Surface A facing the chuck. Insert
the six fabricated dummy pins (Figure 6112
or 6113) into the pinion pin holes. Adjust the
chuck, centering the carrier based on Surface B
and the runout of the dummy pins.
7. The total runout of the bushing after boring
must not exceed 0.002 inch (0.05 mm).

d. Rework Center Carrier for Non-Rotating
Thrust Washers
NOTE:
Non-rotating thrust washers may be used in any
four-pinion center carrier assembly, if the center
carrier is machined at two locations to provide
clearance for the non-rotating thrust washers to lay
flat on the carrier thrust surface.
Do not attempt this rework unless adequate machining facilities are available.
1. Disassemble the center carrier assembly. Refer
to Paragraph 624b.
2. Machine the two points of interference (Figure
6114) flush to 0.020 inch (0.51 mm) below
the existing thrust surface. Maintain a 0.050
inch (1.27 mm) radius in the corners. Do not
machine radially more than necessary to provide clearance for the thrust washers.
3. Thoroughly clean the carrier to remove machining debris.
4. Reassemble the carrier assembly. Refer to
Paragraph 624e.

e. Installation of Pinion Components

NOTE:
Lubricate needle rollers and thrust washers before
assembling the pinion groups.

1. For MT 650, 653 rear carriers, if needle bearing assembly 39 or 49 (Foldout 9,B) was not
removed in Paragraph 612a(11), remove it
now. Make sure to install a new bearing assembly (inner lip of race first) into the carrier before installing the pinions.
2. Assemble all the pinion groups for the carrier
assembly. Assemble each group by inserting
the proper loading pin into the pinion bore, installing the needle roller bearings around the
loading pin, installing a steel thrust washer at
each end of the pinion, and installing a bronze
thrust washer onto each steel thrust washer. If
using non-rotating thrust washers, the bronze
surface must be next to the steel thrust washer.
3. Position the carrier assembly, rear upward
(center carrier, front upward). Install all the
pinion groups into the planetary carrier, aligning the loading pins with the pin bores in the
carrier.
4. Install the proper pinion guide pins (refer to the
tool chart and Figure 6111), larger diameters
first, into the pinion pin bores. Push the guide
pins through the carrier until the loading pins
drop out.
5. Position the carrier assembly on the press fixture, using the proper pin remover and installer
adapter (if required).
NOTE:
Pin installers are shaped to avoid interference with
bosses on the carrier assemblies. They must be installed in the ram so the cutaway portion of the installer will clear the bosses when the pinion pin is
pressed in.

6. Select the proper pin installer, and install it into
the press fixture ram.

CAUTION:
Do not put pressure on the carrier. Distortion of
the carrier will damage it.

7. Place a pinion pin on the pilot end of the pin


guide located below the press fixture ram.
Press the pinion pin into the carrier until the installer contacts the carrier.
8. Proceed with the installation of the remaining
pinion pins.
9. Remove the carrier assembly from the press
fixture. Install swaging tool holder J 25587-17
into the opening of the press fixture bed. Install
a swaging tool into the holder. Install another
swaging tool into the press fixture ram. Lubricate both ends of the pinion pins with oil-soluble grease.
10. Position the carrier assembly, rear upward
(center carrier, front upward) on the press fixture. Use the proper support block to level the
carrier while the lower swaging tool is supporting the lower end of one pinion pin.

NOTE:
Swaging pressure is approximately two tons (1814
kg) for front carrier pinion pins and three tons
(2722 kg) for center, rear, and low carrier pinion
pins. While applying pressure, rotate the pinions
and feel for reduction of end play. The pinions must
rotate freely. Pinions with rotating bronze thrust
washers must have 0.0080.031 inch (0.200.79
mm) minimum end play after swaging the pins. Pinions with non-rotating bronze thrust washers must
have 0.0040.031 inch (0.100.79 mm) minimum
end play after swaging the pins.
11. Apply sufficient pressure to the press fixture
ram to firmly swage the end of the pinion pin
against the metal of the carrier. Figure 6115
illustrates a typical swage pattern. Repeat the
procedure to swage the remaining pinion pin
ends.

CAUTION:

J 24462-1

The transmission and PTO can be damaged if the


PTO is installed with its drive gear to the front of
the PTO drive gear.
5. If the PTO has a manual disconnect, be sure
that the disconnect lever is in the disconnect
position. When the PTO is installed on the
mounting pad, the PTO driven gear must be to
the rear of the PTO drive gear in the transmission.

711. CHECKING SHIFT POINTS


Refer to Paragraph 313 for shift point checks and adjustments.

712. POWER TAKEOFF COMPONENTS


CAUTION:
Cork or other soft gasket material cannot be
used to mount the PTO. Use only the shims or
gaskets recommended by the PTO manufacturer.
a. Establishing PTO Backlash
1. Be sure the mounting pad is clean and free of
burrs, debris, and shims. Position tool J 34814
(Figure 768) onto the pad so that the gauge
pin is between two drive-gear teeth.
2. Tighten the two hold-down bolts.
3. Measure the height between the gauge pin and
base plate (Figure 768) with a feeler gauge.
Refer to the chart for the quantity of shims or
gaskets required to establish gear backlash of
0.0060.029 inch (0.150.73 mm).
4. Place the shim(s) onto the mounting pad and
install two headless guide bolts, one into the
top and one into the bottom of the PTO mount-

6. Install the PTO on the mounting pad and


tighten the six mounting bolts to 2632 lb ft
(3543 Nm).
7. Connect the lubrication line (if used).
b. New Installation
1. Contact Allison Transmission Division of General Motors for approval of planned installation, or for recommendations.
2. Speeds, type of duty, power requirements, and
other factors must be considered when adding
a PTO to a transmission. If the job requirements of the PTO cannot be fully met by the
transmission, the installation will not be satisfactory. Also, the transmission could be damaged.
3. Install the PTO as described in Paragraph
712a.
4. If a lubrication source is required, the return
line from cooler-to-transmission may be
tapped. Provide a 0.032 inch (0.81 mm) restriction in the lubrication circuit (usually already
provided in the PTO assembly).

CAUTION:
Do not remove lubrication regulator valve
adapter 9 (Foldout 10,A). Remove only the fluid
line or fitting that connects to the adapter. Drill
and tap the fitting or hose end to provide PTO lubrication.

Section 9 CUSTOMER SERVICE


91.

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.

Step Two If your problem cannot be readily resolved at the distributor level without additional assistance, 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.

As an owner of an Allison transmission, you have service locations throughout the world eager to meet your
parts and service needs with:

For prompt assistance, please have the following information available.

Expert service by trained personnel


Emergency service 24 hours a day in many

areas

Name and location of authorized distributor

or dealer
Type and make of equipment

Complete parts support

Transmission model number, serial number,

Sales teams to help determine your trans-

mission requirements
Product information and literature

Refer to a current North American Parts and Service


Directory SA2229EN or the International Parts and
Service Directory SA2338EN for a listing of Allison
Transmission authorized distributors and service
dealers.
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.)
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.
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.

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
Chronological summary of units history

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:
Manager Warranty Administration PF9
Allison Transmission
P. O. Box 894
Indianapolis, Indiana 46206-0894
Phone: (317) 2423538
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.
When contacting the Regional or Home Office, please
keep in mind that ultimately your problem will likely
be resolved at the distributorship or dealership using their facilities, equipment, and personnel. Therefore, we suggest you follow the above steps, in sequence, when experiencing a problem.
Your purchase of an Allison Transmission product is
greatly appreciated, and it is our sincere desire to assure complete satisfaction.
