Allison was part of GM Hydramatic when the 1000 was developed . The Engineers from Indy work side by side with us in Ypsilanti . When GM went through bankruptcy Allison was spun off but the only Allison trans that remained with GM was the 1000 because it was in most of the 1-ton pickups . I think it's still built in Baltimore . Also Castrol developed the fully synthetic fluid Trans-Max , and later Allison re-named it Trans-Syn . It is a very good Automatic Transmission Fluid
