I need some help

6.4stroke · Mar 17, 2013

I got out on a road about half throttle and seemed like the TC was just about to lock then boom. All my truck does is rev up I have no gears at all any suggestions? Built trans with suncoast internals billet input shaft and billet lower reverse hub and RCD TC

Busted input or output shaft would be a guess

jdgleason · Mar 17, 2013

Haven't seen an output shaft break in a 5R110 yet, my guess is input shaft.

That's what I thought guys. If it is it kinda really irritates me that there's about 22k on the trans I got the billet input shaft and I just have basic mods around 570 hp or so but I guess we will see what it is thanks for the input guys

Who's tuning?

Innovative extreme race with race lock. its been a little since the trans did it but sometimes when I'm doin around 15 and just sorta idle I get back on the throttle a little and it had a huge rev slam issue seemed like it went out of gear then slammed into gear.

Is it the newest update? Mine would do that with innovatives stuff from time to time. You may want to try a Gearhead tune just to see how you like it. I was pretty frustrated with my tunes before I switched to Gearhead. Wayne had a lot of problems with input shafts in his built trans until he went to Gearhead as well

Nope still on 3.0.1 i like how my engine responds to the tune. I will look into gear head like I said thanks for the input greatly appreciated

another little thing is it seem like my shifter doesnt want to go into place when i put it in 1st or 2nd like when i pull if forward it doesnt want to go back now when i shift it into 3rd or reverse neutral or drive the shifter goes it goes right into place

I would check the linkage. Could be mis adjusted a touch

6.4stroke · Mar 17, 2013

ill check on that. are most snapped inputs on the tc side?

jdgleason · Mar 17, 2013

Yes sir. Unfortunately, it's probably busted inside the converter.

Tree Trimmer · Mar 17, 2013

depending on how exotic the materials are, and what tools you have at your disposal, you can drill and tap the broken shaft, thread a bolt into it, and slide hammer it out.

that worked for me once.

im assuming that its not a easy job then to take a busted shaft out the tc then. thanks tree trimmer and jd for the advice. if its the iput shaft im going to be ordering one from u jd thanks.
