Bought this 1980 GMC school bus that needs a clutch plate. Problem is I cant figure out the type of tranny I have.The vin #T16PBAV563463 when I look up that vin it reports not enough charactors.HELP
YAH, an allison with a clutch??????????? ever try to split wood with the back of an axe?
Laura,
There should be a metal tag some where on the side, end, even top of the tranny, usely that tag is held by 2 small rivets. The brand name & model is written on it, it may have been paint over, so care has to be taken not to scrape too hard & dammage the numbers so it can not be read.
The other way is with the cast number, those are the number imprint in relief the metal, the may be 2- 3 serie of cast number but 1 should give some result.In 1980 the VIN had 13 digit, the 17 digit came out in 1981. Your bus being a medium duty chassis the VIN is not available from the same source as the car & pick up. A call at a truck dealer may help you.
Take some pictures & post them on a hosting site, & email the link I will look at it.
But you don't need all that stuff to get a clutch, if you take the clutch out, take all the parts to a truck parts store & they will give you the parts which fit there, replace the assembly(disk, pressure plate, trust bearing & pilot bearing).
good luck. wrench

This is my real name! I have been teased my whole life for it! I'm SORRY, I shouldn't have made fun of other people. I didn't realize the pain I inflicted on others. I finally know why I don't have friends. Thank you for helping me understand why I'm this way.
