Allison 1000 and 2000 Transmission Fluid Loss from Main Housing Breather During Cold Weather Operation

Applies To: Allison 1000 and 2000 Transmissions

Description: Transmission fluid loss in cold weather

Symptoms: Transmission fluid loss from breather during cold weather operation

Resolution: When diagnosing transmission fluid leaking out the breather on 1000 and 2000 transmission, first determine if fluid level is proper and dipstick markings are accurate. If the condition persists, remove the fill tube and dipstick. Create a 1.5-2.0mm (0.06-0.08 inch) vent hole through the fill tube sidewall as close to the top of the tube as possible without being obstructed by the dipstick (Figure 1).

Caution: If the transmission fluid level is too high due to overfill, aerated fluid may be forced out through the fill tube or cap vent. Do not locate the fill tube opening near hot objects such as the exhaust system where exiting fluid could create a hazard.

Fill tubes should also be vented below the fill tube seal and main case (Figure 2).

Determine if lower vent is present, and if not, create a 1.5-2.0mm (0.06-0.08 inch) vent hole through the fill tube sidewall 31.75mm (1.25 inch) below the fill tube seal flange. Remove burrs that may damage the fill tube seal.

Continued leaking out the main housing breather after checking dipstick calibration, verifying fluid level, and venting the fill tube indicates an internal pressure loss and will require further investigation.
