First off a $175 tranny jack will fold over and get you killed or hurt for clowning around with such small tools for heavy equipment repairs (pun intended!) And if you ever find a front or rear tranny seal for an Allison transmission feel free to buy all available and make yerself a profit of around 100% or more while still helping someone save $! I dropped the subject rather than responding on your thread about where& what to look for? (that has been asked and repeatedly answered over and over in the past to have a qualified bus mechanic inspect it with you! Where you more or less slapped Dallas, Mike, Sammy, Luke, Cole, Tom, Jack, JR, BW, Bruce, Charles, Clifford, Sonny, Arthur, myself and many others (I can't mention them all as I have memory lapses and there are too many! here who do or have made our living working on buses and willingly, and lovingly give our time and advice free here on the board in the FACE! While at the same time asking for our advice! So even though I may get an trouble I urge to learn the difference of working a VW bus and a REAL BUS, before giving advice that can hurt, kill or cost someone mega dollars and much grief because you haven't got a clue as to what your talking about! These are very big units and not your VW or Chevy camaro! An Allison transmission in one of these buses weighs as much as a VW and half as much as a camaro! So if you'll stick to CLOWNING around those of us who are experienced will stick to giving SERIOUS ADVICE! (again pun intended!) BK aka class clown of the MAK board! LOL!
concepts all the same just different scale of co$t & weights . a unit weighing more does not affect t key concepts. the class clown ends up being the smarter one in the long run though. however it's not a slap 2 say if I knew typical issues with busses I would not need bus mechanic as that's y I'm here 2become my own expert,thanxbtw a$175tranny jack can lift 4tons so you r not totally correct. howeve we will see, & this is not a competition bta learning experience. In my fields of endeavor even the most seasoned hand can learn from a total greenhorm, & circus life is a micrcosim of society so I got to learn bout most anything there is2 know about because Igot2 go see things that interest me &ask questions directly of top expertsif they werenot allready doing something for ourshow, or just happened 2 b there.(met many famous,rich ,celebrity orotherwise .
