Allison 5-Speed auto.
I'm getting interested in this tranny but I am amazed at how little info there is on it.
Does anyone know the following?
[list=1][*]What are it's physical dimensions?[*]What ratios are available for it, for each of it's five gears?[*]Can it be done as a "no-electronics", full manual tranny like the 4L80E?[*]If not, are the factory electronics easilly mated to LT1/LS1 engine electronics?[/list=1]
Any technical info on these wanted.
I do know they take about 17 quarts of oil and they are supposed to be physically huge.
A guy I know on another board described it as: "This thing is at least twice the size of a TH400 and it is larger than my toyota auto and transfer-case combined.

They are huge. Go to a Chevy/GMC dealer and find a truck to look under. It looks about the same size as a 350 block! Also, if you are thinking of using one there would be a LOT of issues besides size. You mention ratios, then there's cost, how to contol it, etc.
Interesting thoght though. I'll bet they are mucho dinero.
Here are some specs: http://www.allisontransmission.com/p...tionsheets.jsp
Note the following:
Length (SAE No. 3 flywheel housing to park brake mounting provision) 27.35 in (694.7 mm)
Length (SAE No. 2 flywheel housing to park brake mounting provision) 27.73 in (704.4 mm)
Depth (below transmission centerline) 11.22 in (284.9 mm) - standard oil pan
Depth (below transmission centerline) 10.71 in (272.0 mm) - shallow oil pan
Weight (dry) 330 lbs (150 kg)
Add 13 quarts of fluid and it's nearly as heavy as an LS1 motor!

I think I asked this question about the Allison 1000 5-speed about 3 months ago, and got the same response. If you would like some actual dimensions, a friend of mine has one behind a Vortec 8.1L engine.

He doesn't need to take a mike to it, just a basic idea would be good.
