Anybody ever heard of a 5-speed Allison that was not push button? As in, manually shift through gears.

There have been a couple Barths with manual transmissions discussed here. But, those would not be Allison transmissions. Within the last year or so, there was an odd ball on a Ford chassis with stick shift.

Sorry, I didn't mean shift as in a manual transmission . What I meant is a 5-speed where you have to move the shifter to the 'drive' position, as well as the neutral and reverse positions. I was thinking that all Allison 5/6 speed trannys were electrical, i.e., push button.

My Allison 2000 is a 5 speed that uses the same shifter as the 545 did. I do have a switch on the dash to allow or disallow overdrive (5th). A lot of cars have this same type of overdrive on the shifter.

Gary, have you ever heard of that kind of set up coming out of the factory on a '92 28' Breakaway?

Nope.

Wikipedia Allison 1000, 2000

But not in '92 unless they changed it out like I did.

Now, that's funny!!

My breakaway has 4 forward 1 reverse and neutral ... That makes it a six speed...
