Melbo, Stewart and Stevenson has mobile service 303-287-7441 call for a price I think it is about $130.00 per hr but as a Allision dealer you may save money

Melbo

Yes but I don't have an allison however that is an excellent choice of people to call.

Do you have a manual trany?

If so you might get under it and check the linkage, Will the clutch go down and does it have presure?

I am not sure how buses are but that might be a place to look.  If the clutch is hyd you might check the fluid level and see if you have fluid.

That is what I would di if I were out in a truck and having that kind of problem.

Not trying to be a smart @#%^#$%&#@%@ just my $00.oooo2

I just spoke to Mel and he's almost to Santa Fe. Changed his trans filter/fluid by a mobile mech and is fine now. This Bussin' stuff is sooooo fun sometimes.

Thank you to everyone who gave me ideas.

Sorry I didn't post this sooner but I was behind schedule and wanted to drive.

Got everything cleared up enough to get home and now I need to find out what happened to cause this.

This board and all the people here are one great resource.
