What is the mode button for on an Allison Transmission?

It appears that it changes the shift patterns between fuel economy and performance.

Why is my Allison Transmission inhibiting gear ranges?

In this issue of Keep Those Trannys Rolling, we’re going to look at one of the most common problems plaguing Allison’s LCT transmission group: inhibited gear ranges or shifts. These conditions are usually a result of the Transmission Control Module (TCM) receiving incorrect inputs from onboard sensors.

Is the overdrive clutch applied in fourth gear?

Since the overdrive clutch is applied in fourth gear only and the direct clutch is applied in all ranges except fourth gear, the transmission operation for park, neutral, and first through third gear will be described first. Once these powerflows are described, the third to fourth shift sequence will be described.

What to do if your Allison Transmission goes into limp mode?

Unfortunately, a driver can’t reverse limp mode. If you find yourself stuck in third gear with this model of transmission, it’s probably time to have it rebuilt. Pro Tip: Keep your Allison transmission well-maintained to avoid accidentally triggering limp mode. This will also improve your vehicle’s overall functionality!

When to use cruise control in Allison Transmission?

However, mode selection can make a big difference when traveling over rolling hills. If you drive in such areas while in Performance Mode (particularly with the cruise control on), it is common for the transmission to shift down to fifth gear on the uphill and back to sixth gear on the downhill, repeating this process hundreds of times.

Why does the transmission stay in a higher gear?

The transmission may stay engaged in a higher gear for an extended period of time when it should be downshifting. This will cause the engine to over rev, and may put additional unnecessary strain on the engine and transmission.

What happens when downshift solenoid does not work?

If the downshift solenoid fails or has an issue, the vehicle may experience late shifting when slowing down. The transmission may stay engaged in a higher gear for an extended period of time when it should be downshifting. This will cause the engine to over rev, and may put additional unnecessary strain on the engine and transmission.
