Hobert62 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I got a project engine that came with an Allison model 3000 hooked to it. How does it come off? I unbolted the bolts trough the bell housing and can only get them separated about 5/8”. I was thinking it would just pull apart like a car tranny.

HeavyGunner Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Did you undo the bolts between the flex plate and torque converter? 1 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

Hobert62 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Nope. Through starter hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Small window under starter. 2 bolts hold the cover on. Remove cover, turn engine until you see a flexplate bolt, remove bolt, turn engine until next bolt. Continue Installing bolts is the important part. If you drop a bolt inside while installing trans, you’ll have to pull trans back out. Take your time while installing the bolts. You will have to put them all in most of the way, then go back around for final torque. Not difficult. Good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert62 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Thanks. I was thinking convertor would just pull out of the front of the tranny. I’m not reinstalling only wanted engine. It’s sitting on my trailer may just pull starter so I have a bigger hole to work through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKERGALL Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Do you have S/N# off trans and how much $ for trans ? Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is s tag on the convertor and tranny that say something like Allison reman. I know absolutely nothing about it’s condition. It was in a wrecked rear engine school bus behind a 8.3 Cummins. I didn’t see the bus either. I’m in central Pa. zip is 17830. Make me an offer and come get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKERGALL Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 HAHA what is number off the other trans?? Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert62 Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Not exactly sure what it is other then an Eaton. the tag is missing on that one. Has a #2 bellhousing, think it’s a 14” single disc clutch, was out of a f800 I think. Had a 5.9 in front of it. Was going to use with my 8.3 until I found the rto6613 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert62 Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 On the other side of that one is the 8341 spicer I was going to run with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeH Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Make sure the engine spins in the proper direction. Some bus engines the engine spins "backwards" because that's what they have to do to get the trans to spin the wheels "forward" You may have wasted money buying the engine, not real familiar with bus engines other than that some are set up to run backwards.
