Allison HTB741 fluid change

[patticake592000]

Dan,
When I did mine, I drove up on 2x10's(one layer), bags down, and
got to it. Many bolts later, after the drain plug was used, the pan
came off. At the dd shop, they said reuse the gasket, if it wasn't
torn and wash the filter(it was a metal screen). They sold me the
fluid($38@gal.) I bought the filter from NAPA. Oh, it took 7 gallons.
They also said, do it again after 5 to 10k miles, as you don't get
everything in the first change,coolers, torque converter, etc.
You will see a noticeable difference in temp after.
I'm almost due for the second change and I hate to see the price
of the fluid now. 20/20 hindsight, I should have bought enough fluid
for 2 changes and a couple of spares,in case of a leak. Easy job.
