Allison 3000 prognostics
Allison 3000 Series transmissions are equipped with the Allison
Prognostics feature that can alert the driver to needed transmission
maintenance and transmission fluid/filter life. Refer to the separate
Allison transmission manual for complete details.
CLUTCH (IF EQUIPPED)
Do not ride or slip the clutch as this causes unnecessary heat and wear.
Maintain the specified clutch adjustment to prolong its life and regularly
inspect the clutch control linkage for tightness. Refer to the Scheduled
Maintenance Guide chapter for other maintenance information. When
adjustment of the clutch is necessary, it is very important that the work
be performed properly or early clutch failure may result and a costly
clutch overhaul may become necessary. Clutch work should only be
performed by a qualified technician.
Note: Continued use of a damaged or worn clutch, prolonged clutch
slippage or downshifting at excessive speeds can result in a failure of the
engine, transmission or clutch components.
Note: To avoid premature clutch wear and failure, do not drive with
your foot resting on the clutch pedal or use it to hold the vehicle at a
standstill on an upgrade as when waiting for a traffic light.
