allison at545 torque conv. bolts
I have a 98 freightliner 5.9 cummins with an allison 545 trans. The trans went bad and I have a new one to replace it but there is no visible cover to remove to take out the torque converter bolts. Anyone have an idea how to remove them?:argh:
|
Through the hole where the starter is when u remove it
|
Yup exactly what red_rattler said you remove them through the hole where the starter is. I believe the last one I did it was a 3 inch extension with a 14mm(Please don't quote me on the size) deep socket on a 1/2 inch wrench and make sure to hold the flywheel from turning when breaking them loose.
|
The edge of the hole that the starter bolts to is dead center of the torque converter bolt which makes it impossible to get a socket on. The freightliner cummins has the starter on the passenger side of the motor versus the dodge that is on the drivers side. I don't know if this makes a difference, but I am stumped as how to get them out. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Maybe It was on the opisite side of the block there might have been a removeable inspection cover that has like 13mm bolts check for that
|
No removeable cover. Thinking of grinding a small groove in the starter hole so I can get a socket on the bolts.:humm:
|
there has to be a better way than that
|
Through the drivers side inspection cover with a thin walled socket should be a 15mm. Just had a blue bird bus in and that's what my guess would be. Def gonna take 2 of ya to do it. One to roll the motor and one to line it up.

i own 1997 freightliner fl70, to take torque converter you have to inspect more carefully the right side of engine on opposite site of starter, you will see i think four bolts(you'll have to move fuel lines out of the way it's going to be really close to fuel filter, if this will help!!!
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- i have one question to you, what is the top speed of your freightliner? i just rebuilt my transmission allison at 545 4-speed and my truck doesn't go more than 55mph on the freeway with 2500 rpm, i'm thinking probably it has speed limiter in it:argh: |
there has to be a cover to remove, similar to a dt466 with the at 545, dumb question, but have you pressure washed the engine, filth can hide alot of things..
