Thanks again for all the suggestion's while we were on the side of the road .
Found an Allison dealer in Cut Bank, Mt who is confirming transmission issue.
Got Cliff's towing to load the Coach on his flat bed trailer and haul her 90 miles to the repair dealer.
I drove the Coach on the tilt trailer no problem in reverse.
When I drove off the trailer at repair center forward at 30 degree angle with the engine running and trans in gear she would barely roll. As soon as turned engine off she rolled right off with gravity, confirming transmission locked up.
Looks like the Coach will be here for a week or 2 waiting on the rebuild.
Thanks
