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
3000/B300/B400 automatic
transmissions in conjunction with
the 3000/B300/B400 Service
Manual (SM2148EN) 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
2148EN. 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.
