Might be just a solenoid or the wire harness inside the pan. You got Allison Doc?

@Thomasbus24 did you replace the whole transmission or just the converter? I've had pretty good luck just changing the converter only (budget crunch), the bus is still running good 2 years later (knocking on wood).

We swapped it out for a reman. There was a lot of metal in the pan when we dropped it.
