Thank you!
I was a transmission engineer on the Abrams. It uses an Allison, four speed forward, two speed reverse, with a lockup torque converter. The clutches were 24" diameter. The transmission weighed 4500 pounds dry and held 45 gallons, not quarts, of Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF.

Congrats on the write-up Mark! and thanks for shepherding us along here on FTE. You are a huge asset and we are lucky you've taken an interest in hanging around here. I think it's interesting how many of us here have a millitary connection in one way or another.
