Title: Allison MT 643 transmission manual.
Post by: Old Toolmaker on June 14, 2019, 12:57:48 pm
Slowly but surely, my deferred maintenance list is approaching the drive train.  After perusing the Allison web site I settled on this manual as most likely to be the one I need.  What I want to do is change the oil and filter and check the external stuff, throttle cable, governor, and speedometer.

Can anyone here tell me if this is the manual I need to buy? Preventive Maintenance Manual PM 2572E.

 I simply ordered the filters for the 643, internal and external . 
  I also loosened the throttle cable to  get it to upshift sooner.
 Looks like lubing the little speedo drive box is a good idea .

I've spent most of my life so far working on antique equipment for friends.  I learned early on to love the factory service and parts manuals.
The speedo drive box is high on my gotta look at list for just that reason.  In the meantime I purchased a GPS heads up display speedometer.
