Thanks Driver for the addition info. I hope dinkie0720 finds this info before he buys 5 gal of transynd.

To drain the Allison 1000 MH you just remove the plug. I will not call it a DRAIN PLUG because no graduate Mechanical Engineer, Design, or Mechanic from the school of busted knuckles would place the plug above the bottom of the pan ,thus leaving all the nasty to lay in the bottom of pan to mix with the fresh fluid.

I would like to see the DFMEA for the Allison Engineering design review and who sign off on it. GM Powertrain Engineering must have been eating donuts and missed fact you must remove the pan to remove all the Nasty stuff. I guess that's why Ford Truck is #1.

On all the vehicles I have owned with Auto trans and did the trans flush I had to drop the pan, then would wipe all the clutch, metal, sludge and debris that had settled on the bottom.

My next flush in 2016 I will drop the pan and clean it .

I would ask that you take a picture of the inside of the pan to show us what you find. I am going to go out on a limb and say that you are not going to find very much at all if any debris in the bottom of the pan.

If one does find any debris in the bottom of the pan, I'm thinking that ya may as well cancel Christmas for that transmission cause it ain't got long at all to do what it does. Some folks however have reported that they removed trace sludge off of the control filter magnet so I don't expect it to be surgical.

I gota go with DriVer on this one. The other trannys you are referring to that have crud laying in the bottom of the pan do not have the spin on filter that Allison does.

BTW, I have not seen any crud in ANY autotrannys I have looked into. It just doesn't happen much in an automatic tranny.
