Anyone know of the nearest "qualified" transmission place near Algonquin, IL? Have left a message for Manny already.
Unfortunately it's too late here in Illinois to actually talk to anyone. Talking to Allstate now and will be getting a tow to one of the local trans shops. Whether or not they are "qualified" is another story.

Jared,
If they have experience with the TH-400 they will probably be OK.

Give David Marchiando in Sheridan, Illinois a call. He is about 60 miles south of you. 815-six nine five-5 zero 84.
I use to have a Manny rebuilt trans here but we used it and it was never replaced. That is not much help to you now. I need to get Manny to build another one and re-stock it here again.
Anyone one in California willing to bring me a Manny trans this fall on their way to the Elkhart GMCMI rally?
Call me at home right now, you have my number. I am up.

I have a line on a replacement transmission. Just need a place to get the coach towed to. No one local (Inc the damn transmission shops) are answering any phones.
Trying to line up everything before calling Allstate again to get towed.

I didn't know that. I know I'd be a mess too. Do you think he'd be open to letting us use his driveway? Maybe if someone that knows him called rather than some Joe schmoe from Virginia.

Jared,
The use of a gantry in the cockpit is the best way to R&R the
transmission. But it's not mandatory: You use a 4x4 or other such beam
across the hatch opening, with 2 long eye bolts to support the rear of the
engine. There are 3/8"-16 tapped holes in the rear of each cylinder head
through which you can insert bolts through the eyes of the bolts. The
transmission can then be removed using a transmission jack. I helped Eric
Tanner do one at Bean Station a few years back. Not really a lot more
difficult than with the gantry and hoists.
Remember, you DO NOT want to remove the final drive -- just unbolt it from
the transmission. WIth the rear transmission mount unbolted from and
loosened (only) at the rear cross member, it will tilt to the rear. After
unbolted from the engine, the transmission can be moved to the rear to
disengage from the engine and the final drive with clearance to lower
straight down. Wire the torque converter (through the round right side
dust port) so it can't slide off of the input shaft.
With these hints, you MAY be able to get an independent shop to do the
R&R. If they won't accept hints, it may be the wrong shop.
Dave Marchiando is a great guy, but not very out-going, especially since he
lost his wife.

Dave has volunteered the use of his driveway but another former GMCer that now lives in Arizona still has family nearby that has a shop/hookups/place to work. Fingers crossed on that one since its only 10 miles from here. Dave is 75 miles.
And you and I are in a select group. I too helped Eric remove and replace the transmission you helped remove and replace all those years ago.

Ok. So we have a "solution." Still waiting on a tow as all the tow companies are refusing to tow us since Allstate's reimbursement rates are too low. We have a location to do the work and Ken Burton has graciously accepted my plea for assistance. We are going to Iowa tomorrow to pick up a Manny tranny that hasn't been installed yet and will order a new one from Manny to replace that one.
The main work will take place on Monday when Ken can come but anyone who is able and willing to help will not be turned away.
The address where we'll be doing the work is 41W169 Plank Rd Elgin, IL
My cell is two oh two 4 eight 9 77 five four.
Thanks for the assistance.
Jared

If you are working with Ken Burton, bring your loud voice. :)
But this is one of those jobs that benefits from a guy on the inside and a
guy on the outside, and then a guy on the jack and a guy on the wrench.

Good luck getting the nearby location. Sorry I told you stuff you already
knew; I'd forgotten your involvement with Eric at BS.

werewilfs wrote on Thu, 22 June 2017 11:52Ok. So we have a "solution." Still waiting on a tow as all the tow companies are refusing to tow us since Allstate's reimbursement rates are too low. We have a location to do the work and Ken Burton has graciously accepted my plea for assistance. We are going to Iowa tomorrow to pick up a Manny tranny that hasn't been installed yet and will order a new one from Manny to replace that one.
The main work will take place on Monday when Ken can come but anyone who is able and willing to help will not be turned away.
The address where we'll be doing the work is 41W169 Plank Rd Elgin, IL
My cell is two oh two 4 eight 9 77 five four.
Thanks for the assistance.
Jared
If you can not get it towed, do not worry about it. I'll bring a tow rope and drag it 10 miles with my pickup. That assumes that the engine still runs and you have brakes on the coach.
Just let me know before I leave so I remember to bring the nylon strap and also bring my PU instead on my Blazer. We can move it.

And, contact Allstate instanter for a full refund of your membership charge. List the companies which refused to tow and tell Allstate you are due a refund since their agents wouldn't tow thereby making the 'coverage' a simple scam for your money. Be [politely furious, and speak to the home office, not the gerbils at the towing company.

I've not had the pleasure of attending BS yet. The transmission I helped Eric remove last year in his driveway was the one you helped install at BS all those years ago.

And you and I are in a select group. I too helped Eric remove and replace the transmission you helped remove and replace all those years ago.

Jared,
The use of a gantry in the cockpit is the best way to R&R the
transmission. But it's not mandatory: You use a 4x4 or other such beam
across the hatch opening, with 2 long eye bolts to support the rear of the
engine. There are 3/8"-16 tapped holes in the rear of each cylinder head
through which you can insert bolts through the eyes of the bolts. The
transmission can then be removed using a transmission jack. I helped Eric
Tanner do one at Bean Station a few years back. Not really a lot more
difficult than with the gantry and hoists.
Remember, you DO NOT want to remove the final drive -- just unbolt it from
the transmission. WIth the rear transmission mount unbolted from and
loosened (only) at the rear cross member, it will tilt to the rear. After
unbolted from the engine, the transmission can be moved to the rear to
disengage from the engine and the final drive with clearance to lower
straight down. Wire the torque converter (through the round right side
dust port) so it can't slide off of the input shaft.
With these hints, you MAY be able to get an independent shop to do the
R&R. If they won't accept hints, it may be the wrong shop.
Dave Marchiando is a great guy, but not very out-going, especially since he
lost his wife.
