Thanks again for your insight and information. It is a big help. I prefer not to run into a swap project like this blind. So far there has been lots of useful information presented and that leaves a lot to digest. I can see why a c3 oiler is a good thing to have. Is there one on the market that uses oil that has been cooled? Or do they all use heated oil? Either way, just getting more oil to it should be a help.
I hear you on the slotted clutches and can see the slots helping to.clear the oil out so the clutches can grab quicker. I also understand that the non-sloted clutches would, or atleast should have more hold power from more surface friction.
I also understand what you are saying about switch on the fly tunes messing with the Allison since it is always learning. Would turning that off give a higher chance of catastrophic damage? If it was tuned perfect, it should work.
No worries about your sentence structure. Mine is far from perfect as well. English was definitely not my strong subject.
Thanks again for the information.
Im not sure on the oiling, i fixed my clutch issues with what i had listed above, last time the trans was out was for another broken p2, i went full billet and i re used all the clutches that were in there... was probably 50 passes or so on it. the broken p2 could have been from horsepower or tuning, that poor trans took a beating getting dialed in and tied up quite a few times tryin to lower shift times.. im sure there are better parts available today then there was back then, if this trans fails again ill be sure to but up the failed part and all clutches.
If you go with the gm guys and run there operating system your stuck with the 8.1 unless they figured out something with a tps for the other operating systems. i wasn't aware my files didn't adapt separately since clutch fill can be adjusted separately between tow haul and normal..... But i don't know everything.... I will say after the swap is running correctly you will love it, i know i love mine
