INTRODUCTION TO INSPECTION & ANALYSIS

The Technicians’ Guide is


intended to provide additional
guidance with the inspection and
analysis of transmission parts. This
guide should be used by technicians
who overhaul Allison 1000 and 2000
Product Family transmissions in
conjunction with the 1000 and
2000 Product Families Service
Manual (SM3191EN) when
inspecting parts to determine their
serviceability and reuse.

General Rework Guidelines


Replace parts that cannot be
re-worked as outlined in this
manual and Service Manual
SM 3191EN. A soft stone or crocus
cloth can be used to attempt
removal of “high spots” from
transmission parts. After the
attempted rework, the part must
meet specification if it is going to be
reused. Some seal surfaces (for
example the output yoke sealing surface
and the converter pump hub sealing
surface) cannot be reworked. Both of
these seal surfaces have a controlled
finish that can result in a fluid leak if
the part is altered by rework.
