Transmission part number

[Gardner Yeaw]

Since my coach had a 250 turbo installed later on, and I believe the
original was an NA, the current transmission is likley the wrong one
for the engine. The shift points at minimum will be different, and some
internal parts could be different as well (according to the Jasper
representative). Anyway, now that it has failed I need to replace it.

So does anyone have a coach that was shipped with a 250 turbo and have
the tranny serial# and part#? IfI go for an Allison or a Jasper I will
need the same information to get the right one installed.

P.S.
The Jasper warranty is 1 year labor and 2 years parts. cost approx.
$3,392
The Allison is 2 years parts and labor and towing if it is installed by
an Allison dealer. Cost not yet known.

Just a comment on Trannys....When my 80FC31 tranny blew....
the "plate" was already broken for the third time....turns out tranny
had the wrong SPRINGS in it from th BB factory long ago......
the tranny was shifting at 2800rpm causing a lot of stress on the
plate...when it blew..they ordered the same tranny number and at
first I had the same problem until I had them change the springs so
it shifted at 2300 rpm...it is OK now.....But the SPRINGS were the
problem..STRIKER PLATE CRAKED THREE TIMES......

Hank,
That is what I want to avoid here. I want to be sure things are
correctly matched from the start. Thanks for the heads up.

I have arranged to have Good Sam contact a tow service (on their
dime) to take it to Nicholas-Wymoning Truck in Luzerne PA. on
Wednesday. Nicholas-Wyoming Truck is certified by Allison on the
MT600 series, knows it is an air suspension bus, knows what to do and
is happy to do the work.

I spoke with the service manager at Stadium and he said they don't
have the right equipment to handle it. We agreed that it would
create a dangerous situation for his crew and the job was better
handled by someone with experience on these vehicles. Nice guy, I
just wish they had said that sooner.

So with luck and money I will have my baby back home in it's nest
soon.

I will be going out there tomorrow to oversee the towing and grind
out the fine details with Nicholas-Wyoming.

Thanks to all for taking the time to respond to my plight. I needed
it to maintain my sanity. I now have a much better background to deal
with the new place and know more of what I need to know discuss the
job before they start working on it.
