M35A3 Allison AT1545p questions

[terkaa]

Hi,

I am going to install At1545p to my RV. Replacing 3-speed non locking TC C6 transmission. I have few questions about AT1545p's fitted to M35A3:

1. Does it have SAE #3 or SAE #2 flange?
2. Does version used in M35A3 lockup in all gears or just 4 gear or 3 and 4?

No one know? Do you actually drive these vehicles at all

A3's had the 545 non lockup. SAE 2 bellhousing flange.

A thread of interest to you after a quick search of "545" in this section.

BTW, 545's are 1:1 in top gear.

there are better choices than that one, not my choice for replacement for sure.

Then where did this engine trans combo come from?

Yes I know it is 1:1 top gear and it is ok. 4-speed automatic with lokcing tc and no electrical non sense, Also suitable for diesel it is the best choice for me. It is a matter of opinion of course.
