trans problems, again...

brian89 · Aug 10, 2012

Well, the time has come to admit i F'ed up and to have my trans "professionally" repaired, it is absolutley KILLING me to do this but I'm tired of dickin with it:doh:

Cory S · Aug 10, 2012

well hopefully they can tell you where the problem was! live and learn! get a good converter!

brian89 · Aug 10, 2012

Yea, at least learn from it, and yes that is a must, you wouldn't by chance have a motorcycle jack would you?

Well, i have the trans out and I'm reading my atsg manual, and it says that in every gear but reverse, the forward clutch is "on", so being an amateur trans repair man, I'm guessing there is a problem in that area or the trans? Whether it be oil flow, clutch problems or something else? Anybody have any imput on this theory?

Also, if pump haves are not aligned correctly, what would that do?

brian89 · Aug 11, 2012

Found the problemo

What is it?

brian89 · Aug 11, 2012

Clearance on the forward and direct clutches was off, both need new frictions, and coast clutch was not installed all the way, which I'm guessing is why it wouldn't downshift out of 3rd in drive, but that's just a guess, maybe Mark can tell me what more

Mark Kovalsky · Aug 11, 2012

I don't know how a misassembled trans will work, I have no experience with that. It is reasonable to think that it probably is the cause.

brian89 · Aug 11, 2012

Well if the clearance between the clutch plates and the snap is wrong wouldn't that cause a failure

Mark Kovalsky · Aug 11, 2012

Yes it can. I was referring to the no downshift.

brian89 · Aug 13, 2012

Welp, got new forward and drive clutches, put it all together and back in the truck today, still won't go into first or second in drive and still slips in first

brian89 · Aug 15, 2012

I just dropped the truck off in ocala to be fixed, hop on my scooter to head home, i stop for gas about half way and it won't start back up, blew it up, no tools to see why but seems like no compression, just my luck... now I'm waiting for somebody to come get me, and I'm 30 miles from home, i hate my luck

brian89 · Aug 18, 2012

Well folks, the transmission problem is FIXED!! The problem, i had an E4OD vb gasket instead of a 4r100 gasket and it wasn't getting oil to where it should, f**k me right?
