Allison HTB741 fluid change

[Dan Williams]

Steve, I was reading the Allison filter
change recommendations for the HT series and they say to change the main
external filter and the lube filter every 25K or 600hrs and the internal filter
at overhaul. http://www.allisontransmission.com/docum.../1099B.pdf
Can you tell me the location of these filters?

Thanks,

Dan Williams, 88WB38, Jackson, MS

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.
