SUBJECT: Converting Transmissions to 9823 OFS

MODELS AFFECTED: 9823 OFS

Tools Required
• J­23556 Support Legs
• J­23556­9823 Tilt Legs 9823 Trans

NOTE: J­23556 Support Legs consists of a Center Support Leg and two (2) Side Support Legs and is
designed to support the S9820 transmission. During the conversion process from a S9820 transmission to
a 9823 OFS transmission, the two (2) Side Support Legs must be removed and replaced with the two (2)
Tilt Legs included with J­23556­9823. The two (2) Tilt Legs are 1 inch longer to account for the relocated
mounting bolt holes in the new Rear Cover Assembly.

Introduction:
With the production availability of the 9823 OFS transmission, Allison Transmission has released a kit for those
customers that seek to convert their S9820 to the 9823 OFS. This SIL describes some of the features of the 9823
OFS transmissions. Refer to Cross Section – 9823 OFS Figure 8.

A Conversion and Overhaul Kit has been developed to help ensure all necessary parts are available to convert
a S9820 transmission into a 9823 OFS transmission. This kit P/N 29557365 is detailed in Table 2 and Table 3.
Former kit P/N 29556134 will be available for ordering until September 1, 2015.

NOTE: The Conversion and Overhaul Kit P/N 29557365 can be ordered from Allison Transmission,
Inc. beginning July 27, 2015.

For a list of Allison approved fluids for 9823 OFS, refer to www.allisontransmission.com/parts­service/approved­
fluids. Refer to SIL 10­TR­98 for transmission fluid and filter service recommendations. Also, approved fluids and
filter change intervals are discussed in Service Manual SM7449EN.

For assembly instructions not covered in this SIL refer to Service Manual SM7449EN.

Special Requirements for Installation of 9823 OFS Transmission:

CAUTION: After the S9820 transmission has been converted to the 9823 OFS transmission, the
transmission length will increase by 0.94 inches. To accommodate the increased length of the 9823
OFS transmission, overall driveline length adjustments MAY be performed to prevent equipment damage.
Contact the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to obtain the approved method to adjust the
driveline length.

Special Requirements for Oil Field Fracturing Pump Installations:

CAUTION: Significant torsional vibrations can occur with some oil field fracturing installations that result in
operating conditions at or near system resonance conditions. These conditions may result in excessive
torsional amplitudes that are significantly above transmission torque ratings. Torsional amplitudes may be
reduced by including torsional damping or isolation capability in the system. Therefore, a 4K centistoke
driveline damper is required when installing a converted 9823 OFS.

NOTE: For a complete description of the damper requirement, contact your local Allison distributor or
dealer to access the Allison Tech Data 9000 Series Application Manual Section 4.6.

NOTE: The conversion of a S9820 transmission to a 9823 OFS transmission constitutes a change of
Vocation. Due to the change of Vocation, Allison Transmission, Inc. MUST be informed of the Serial
Numbers of the converted transmissions. Complete the Vocation Model/Parts Change Form (located
on last page of this SIL) and email it to allison.tac@allisontransmission.com. Refer to Table 1 for
the Assembly Cross­Reference Numbers. The completed Vocation Model/Parts Change Form will be
processed and will include a new serial number assigned to the converted transmission. The completed
form, with the new serial number will be returned for data tag completion.

Intermediate and Low Clutch Piston Housing Assembly Dowel Pins (item 24):
The Intermediate and Low Clutch Piston Housing Assembly incorporates the use of a shorter dowel pin,
P/N 29555440. The pressed depth from the front side remains the same at 0.500 inches. The backside depth is
shorter by approximately 0.1 inches to allow for clearance in using the new rear cover assembly with the relocated
mounting holes (refer to Figure 2). Use driver tool to install new dowel pins (refer to Figure 4).

NOTE: Driver tool is not available from Bosch Automotive Service Solutions and must be fabricated.

Assembly Instructions:
Refer to Figure 6. The Intermediate Clutch Hub Assembly P/N 6884846 and Bearing P/N 23049160 must
be installed onto the Splitter Output Shaft Assembly P/N 29543459. Then install the High Range Clutch Drum
Assembly P/N 29547622 with Piston Assembly P/N 23045566, Spring P/N 6756042, Sealrings P/N 23016679
and Snapring P/N 6756041 onto the shaft. The new Oil Transfer Hub P/N 29555275, Ball Bearing Assembly
P/N 29555271, Bearing Retainer P/N 29555272 and Splitter Ring Gear Hub P/N 29555270 must be installed into
the new Housing Assembly P/N 29555976. The shaft must be inserted from the rear of the housing through the
Splitter Ring Gear Hub. The Backing Ring P/N 29545661, O­Ring P/N 29507437 and Snapring P/N 6750259 are
then installed from the front of the housing to retain the Splitter Output Shaft. Additional information is available in
the current SM7449EN service manual.
