Design Features & Benefits (go to top)

Designed for use with large bore gasoline and mid-range diesel engines up to 250 nhp (186 kW). Four forward ranges and one reverse. This transmission model is best suited for school bus, P&D, emergency vehicles and motorhomes.

Clutches are multidisc design, oil-cooled, hydraulically-operated, and self-compensating for normal wear. Spur-type planetary gears are designed for strength, quietness, and long life.

Automatic lockup clutch, throttle-modulated for maximized fuel economy and enhanced engine braking. Automatic upshifting and downshifting within each drive range. Built-in inhibitors prevent downshifts or shifts into reverse unless vehicle speed is within an acceptable range.

The Allison three-element torque converter provides smooth, shock-free operation. A choice of converters permits matching the MT 643 to a wide variety of engines.

Converter-driven power take-off drive on right side of transmission (as viewed from rear) is standard. Design is SAE 6-bolt.

Provisions for neutral start switch, reverse signal switch, SAE regular -duty thread-type speedometer drive, and parking brake.

5.1 inch oil pan is standard. Optional 4.3 and 7.1 inch pans are available when ground clearance or heavy duty operation dictates their use.
