Allison 1000 Automatic Transmission Power Flow

Weber State University (WSU) - Automotive Technology Department - Transmission Lab. Allison 1000 MW7 6-Speed and M74 5-Speed 6-Speed Automatic Transmission Power flow. The Allison 1000 is built by Allison Transmissions, a General Motors owned company. This tansmission is typically used in 2001 and newer Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra Heavy-Duty C and K series pickup trucks with the Isuzu 6.6L Duramax engine. This transmission uses a simple planetary gear set to drive a Simpson planetary gear set (common sun gears).

The following summarizes the changes to the Allison 1000 over the years:
(2010 Uprate) MW7 - Strengthened to handle the higher torque capability of the 2011 model year Duramax LGH and LML engines.
4th Generation MW7 - Added 6th gear and other software refinements in 2006. Used with the 2006 - 2010 LBZ, LLY, and LMM Duramax engines.
3rd Generation M74 - Added Solenoid "G" to the valve body to modulate main pressure at an idle to quiet the oil pump and reduce engine idling loads. Used with 2004 - 2005 LB7 and LLY Duramax Engines as well as the 8.1L Big Block Chevrolet Engine.
2nd Generation M74 - Valve body and case changes as well as software refinements to improve shift quality, shift timing and shift speed. Added "The Sound of Power" VHS video to the glove box to explain why the Allison noises and clunks are good. Used with the 2002 - 2003 model years and the LB7 Duramax and 8.1L Big Block Engines.
1st Generation M74 - The original Allison 1000 installed in the 2001 Chevrolet and GMC Sierra Trucks with the LB7 Duramax engine.

What happen to reverse?

[WeberAuto]

Good catch, I forgot to include it while shooting the video. Reverse is accomplished by applying the C3 and C5 holding clutches and driving the rotating clutch housing with the turbine. The reverse gear ratio is 4.49:1. Reverse can be accomplished even if the transmission is unplugged from the electrical system because the default "normally open" or "normal closed" power off state of all the solenoids allows it to happen.

There r so many people I know who can't pay $2000 to have their tranny fix. I fixed one before it needed a rebuild, not saying what you do is easy but I think I have it.

Thank you for not going off on me. I'm a truck driver now and I learned on my own to rebuild a 4L60E and I think I can make a new career if I need to. Love your vids, Good day.

one thing i would change about the rotating clutch mod is the gears the gear around it is there but it cant support a pto and alot of people get confusied and try to put a pto in and rip that gear in nothing
