Allison Series 1000 Special Fitting Kit FIT413 (Optional)

CAUTION: T-TECH Automatic Transmission Fluid Exchange Machines are designed to bleed Automatic

Transmission Fluid (ATF) into the overflow container if system pressures exceed 85 PSI. Please note that the

FIT413 Kit cannot be used in conjunction with

T-TECH Model No. JB100 because of the pressure limitations

of that early model.

When servicing an Allison 1000 transmission, it is critical to warm the vehicle up prior to service, as this

transmission system can exhibit pressures up to 125 PSI when cold. After the fluid reaches normal operating

temperature, the system pressure will drop to approximately 70 PSI and service can be performed.

Never exceed idle when servicing the Allison 1000 as doing so will raise the system pressure in excess of 85 PSI,

forcing open the

T-TECH pressure overflow valve and directing ATF into the overflow tank.

Instructions

Note: During the 2003 model year, GM changed the design of the fittings used to connect the Allison 1000 cooler

line to the radiator. As a result, you will encounter different fitting requirements for these vehicles, based on model

year. Your new

T-TECH FIT413 Special Fittings Kit is designed to enable service, regardless of model year.

Your T-TECH FIT413 Kit contains 3 hose assemblies. The female hose assembly utilizes a universal fitting and will

adapt to both the old and new Allison models. There are 2 male hose assemblies: the “short” nose male hose

assembly is designed to fit older Allisons while the “long” nose hose assembly will fit the newer Allisons.

Care must be taken to match the correct male fitting to the application to avoid connection issues and leaking of

fluid. As a double-check, always compare the transmission cooler line fitting to the FIT413 male hose assembly to

ensure proper selection.

1. Locate a transmission cooler line where it attaches to the radiator. Remove the plastic cover, sliding back

onto the cooler line, exposing the “E” clip.

2. Using a small hook, awl or screwdriver, remove the “E” clip from the radiator fitting. (This clip will need to

be reinstalled to hold the FIT413 male adapter in place during the ATF exchange.)

3. Remove the cooler line from the radiator fitting and match to the corresponding male hose assembly from

the FIT413 Kit to ensure that the correct male hose assembly is used for the service.

4. Reinsert the “E” clip back onto the radiator fitting and connect the proper FIT413 male hose assembly.

5. Connect the FIT413 female hose assembly onto the transmission cooler line.

6. When service is complete, reverse the installation procedure. Always replace the “E” clip with a new one

(Part No. FIT511) prior to connecting the transmission cooler line back into the radiator fitting.

Note: The “E” clips are easily stretched or bent when removed. The design of the “E” clips utilizes 3

pressure points to hold a line in place. If any of these points are compromised, the line may come out of

the radiator, causing fluid leaks and the transmission to run low on fluid. It is strongly recommended that

you install a new clip prior to final connection of the cooler line back into the radiator fitting.

7. After reassembly is complete, test on the cooler line to ensure connection is secure. Reinstall the plastic

cover back over the fitting to keep out dirt and debris.

8. Check vehicle for leaks and proper fluid levels.

Mazda FIT411

Mazda uses a banjo fitting similar the Ford Escort and Saab

900/9000 except that it is larger, see Figure 62.

CAUTION: These fittings are a matched set and must be

kept together in the small plastic box marked FIT411.

Instructions

1. Remove the vehicle stock bolt, donut fitting, and

washer from the radiator.

2. Install the female half of special fitting kit FIT411

on the vehicle stock bolt (through the donut fitting)

with the removed washer added.
