Title: Transmission Filter Part Number
Post by: nbluesky on October 17, 2021, 06:09:38 pm
Hello again, I am trying to figure out what the correct filter for my 1995 Allison MD3060R is. I have found references to 29506337 6" sump filter but my manual says I have an external filter  AC PF897. I have not seen an external filter anywhere, am I missing it?

 Can anyone clarify?

No external filters for your Allison transmission.

Best advice is to take your transmission serial number to your local Allison dealer. They will have an Allison filter kit with filters, gaskets and instructions. Likely to also have the lowest price on  the new ATF-- TES 668.

Thanks for the advice. I like to find as much as  can online. I just don't have much time to drive around and find this stuff. I was able to buy 5 gallons of the new TES668 through Napa online for $160! Pretty happy with that. Glad to hear about the strange external filter listing. Allison's website is less than helpful even with the serial number.

I you don't see it, you don't have it. 2 six inch filters and torque exactly because they're metal bolts going into aluminum.

For anyone searching later:

1995 U295 8.3 3060R transmission 6" sump filter is part number 29506337

I have been buying my Allison filters from Big Filter Store (https://www.bigfilterstore.com/CrossResult/29506337) website. I have made 3 purchases from them and it is always prompt and comes with a sticker :)
