Re: Help Me Please!!!!!!

Okay, I want you guys to think hard on this one. I tested it today, it shifts fine for about 5 minutes, then it gets worse and worse, it shifts into 2 and that's about it then if you push it harder enough it might shift hard into 3. Is it the valvebody? What part of the valve body or anything else it could be. I really do not want to part out this damn car because everything else works. When I take off the tranny pan what defects should I be looking for?

I can't tell for sure, the dash gauge is screwy but when I got back it was 220. The first time after the tranny flush it got to 260 but it was definitely cooler this time. I got out and felt the middle of the hood.

when you said it sounded like it was going to blow what did you mean? and if you are going to drop the trans pan, make sure you have the manual, the defects youre looking for are just metal shavings blocking the grooves or the little plungers all jammed up.. also check if theres metal shavings all over the place..if there is, go get the trans overhauled..it will be less then a grand..and itll be worth it, since you put so much into the car already.

I have to cut my losses, I'll look at the transmission to see what I can do but I'm not pouring money into it anymore. Like rally and everyone said, that's money i'm readily losingly. It was just under 2grand, I put 3000 into it, and I just want that 3000 back now. DAMNTRANNY

Re: Help Me Please!!!!!!

IF the trans is gone, you can get one for proactically nothing with some shoping around.

It's up on ramps, I'm taking it apart today. Time to see what's really going on.

Re: Help Me Please!!!!!!

I got the tranny pan off by myself. You know that small lip of plastic in the front? Because of that, I had a hell of a mess I cleaned up. While that's drying and the tranny is dripping, I'm taking a break. I'm going to start by looking at the valve body diagram.

thats a thread that has someone who has the full manual..you'll need it. especially if youre gonna take off the valvebody like i suggested...those damn check balls are annoying. email one of them and ask them for it!

oh, btw, if you do..hold the checkballs in place w. petroleum jelly..when youre re-attaching the valve body..


a LOT less swearing and finger/knuckle/elbow busting.
Sounds great but a ton of people asked for that thing already AND the link was deleted, damn hosters. I need another source.
