A. I own a shop, and can tell you this; If it works from electronics, then you have what is known as a (VSS) Vehicle speed sensor. They are usually installed in the tail housing of the transmission on the drivers side, or in the 4x4 unit on four wheel drive vehicles, and in some rare cases can be on the top of the rear end housing just above the ring gear. These are called a sensor, but in fact they are a generator, and they produce a tiny electrical charge by passing a reluctor wheel with teeth on it past a magnetic pick up. To test the sensor, unplug the harness, and attach a volt meter to it, and use the mili-volt setting on the AC scale. With the ignition switch on, turn the drive-shaft, and you should see the meter move. If it… [cont.]

A. You'll find its far cheaper to just build up your stock 47R transmission instead of an Allison swap. An Allison is a good transmission but its not that good. In fact many Duramax racers swap their Allison out for the Chrysler Torqueflite because of differences in the way they're built. A Torqueflite does not have to defuel to shift, try to get an Allison to shift without defueling and things will break. Its just the way they're built. As far as building up a 47R vs. an Allison swap, I think an Allison swap will run you about 10k, whereas you can get a 47R that will handle anything you can throw at it for about 5k. If your 47R is giving you problems your best bet is a rebuild with some better parts. If you're not making much power over… [cont.]

What transmission is in newer GM HD2500?
Q. I know the allison transmission comes in GM, but did GM put another transmission besides the allison in their trucks? The reason I ask is because some trucks I see have the allison transmission logo next to the HD2500 logo on the door of the truck. If it does not have the allison logo, does it have a different transmission? I guess maybe a factory GM lighter duty transmission?

A. Ive seen people do it in 87 Chevy trucks. Don't see why it can't be done. Anything is possible if you got the skill or money if you dont have the skill. The hardest part will be the fact that the Allison is a computer controlled tranny and I dont think your 87 has a computer, even if it does the computer most likely will not be able to control it. There is a company called PCS thats makes stand alone tranny computers. The rest of the swap shouldn't be that difficult. Might ask around these message boards for info.

A. I asked this question of the GM brass. Their answer is that manual trans sales account for a very small percentage of the total picture, so they decided to do away with them. The fact of the matter is their recent HD trannys were crummy. And most people (even some of those who currently have a stick) can't drive them. Try the new Allison. It features manual shift mode, allowing you to put the truck in whatever gear you feel is necessary (within the limits of the software, anyway). Once you try it, you'll wonder what the fuss was all about!
