Ok so I ended up buying all the clutches and a triple disc tq converter and a billet I'm put and planned to build my tranny myself. Not know what I'd get into.
Well the pump was bad so I bought a used pump put everything together and it didn't work so I took it to a reputable tranny shop where I live. He tore it down and the pump I put in it was bad along with the direct drive clutches and the direct clutch carrier or whatever it is called was warped. So he put new directs pump and re did the solenoids on the valve body.
It shifted as it should, was running a base h and s 300 hd tune and it was slipping the 3rd to 4th shift so ok I though putting an upgraded valve body in would help. I drove for 5k on the 300hd. Put a valve body from a company called level ten in. Apparently a performance one with some solinid work done to it. Really didn't change the shifts so I stepped up and got gear head mcc tunes. Shifts are better but was still slipping in 4th and didn't know where it wanted to shift and at wot when it got to the 3 to 4 shift it went crazy until it hit 4th lock. And now recently it threw it's self back into limp mode and dosent shift out of 4th it goes through 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th fine in limp mode.
All the clutches were koline steels. And red alto eagles. Now I'm at the point do I take it somewhere and replace the direct drives and put a factory ford valve body in as 3 performance shops told me to do when I called them about this issue or do I buy a built tranny and use my tq converter on a new one because the tq is still good. I'm trying to limit my self what to spend but it is what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also have a 4r I could put in it I'm just tossing around ideas about my situation. Thanks guys
