A conclusion  (we hope). The ECU/TCM was commanding multiple clutch simultaneous engagement. A calibration error. Glad this is almost over.

New reman, internal wiring harness failure. 6 hr. warranty job.

You'll never believe this. I will send reciepts to any that don't.  Replaced trans with Weller reman, excellent reputation. Went to pick up. While paying $7,300 approx, we discussed diagnosis/causes. They checked everything. 2 samples to two labs revealed no contamination other than clutch...

Allison is really hoping glycol contamination is why. Looked hard at radiator and cooler today. Separate, I'm pretty sure. One for engine and bottom one for trans. A thin metal bracket between them. Top has much larger tubes, bottom tubes are very thin, and 2 lines go to trans. It is a manifold...

Mine did not leak fluid. Never a drop, after 5 rd hrs, parking in the same spot for days. I always look, it's an easy check for early problems...And, just checked new ones. At $1,000, I dont imagine Allison cares to include it. I had their "Professor Transmission" give me a 3 minute "education"...

An addendum; I am disabled with lung cancer and recently started recieving disability. Last year my Dr's recommended that I spend time with family. We sold our house (we could no longer afford it easily), and purchased this home to visit and stay near our children and grandchildren who all...

A trans fluid change with 10k on old fluid 1 month ago at a VERY reputable and conscientious shop, reported no issues. And I've run heavy equipment all my life, starting in the Army at 17, it shifts perfectly as far as I can tell. Up and down. I watch temps very close. Very. Main trans killer is...

Sold our house, to buy and live in this motorhome.

Pretty sure this has never happened before. 2 years ago I was diagnosed with lung cancer. Several months after radiation, I had to quit working. Due to reduced disability income, and Dr's advice to spend time with family, scattered in WA, my wife and I bought a used 2000 40' Monaco, that we and...
