    Valve Body issue or electrical?

    The “shift “ you feel is the torque converter clutch locking up. What you are experiencing could be caused by simply adjusting the bands. The front band is 4th. What was the condition of the fluid that was removed? Brad

    SOLVED; 2009 w/6R80 trans Overdrive switch does nothing.

    The converter may not be locking up There are many other sensors at play that will inhibit overdrive and lock-up functions For example Coolant temp, Trans temp, Knock sensor, and the list goes on. Need to get it somewhere that has the correct software and able to watch live data to see if 6th...

    Rebuilt 5r55e Transmission - Moves Forward in Reverse/Neutral

    Transmission doesn’t need removed just VB drop. Sounds like the forward clutches are welded together. In that case the transmission will need to come out to be replaced or rebuilt. Brad

    Transmission fluid leak help

    Those are the transmission cooler lines leaking. If you can follow them up to an area that is solid on each side of the damaged area you can cut them out and use some new steel lines with compression fittings to repair. If you use rubber line to make the repair just be sure it’s rated for...

    A4LD problems

    That is NOT the same drum! Not an update. Which drum are you wanting to replace?

    A4LD problems

    Hard to make a call from the pictures but the drum in the case is the OD/ coast clutch drum. And the drum that is out is the direct clutch drum. Not sure what your asking. Brad

    4R70W Upgrades for towing - Request for assistance.

    You have the correct VB. The check ball is worn and will be stuck, should not protrude through plate. That will usually cause lockup to try to come on in second gear.

    If you have a heat gun check the resistance of EPC as you heat it up. Also the area I marked on the picture you posted looks to have a check ball trying to “make it to the other side “ very common on this unit. All check balls .250”. Brad

    Did you have bushings put in the servo bores by chance? Or maybe a broken OD servo spring

    Determining the correct orifice size and to what components is important for sure. You also have to remember that the PCM is adaptive to your driving style by monitoring time to fill and when to release components. Each event must fall into preset PIDs in order to learn. This is all based on a...

    Yes, the large one that holds it in the ear will break off of and get in the valve body and you’ll lose overdrive. Brad

    Might replace the snap ring for OD servo that breaks.

    The best way I’ve found is installing a Superior “Tuff Plate” no drilling or tapping plus its much thicker than OEM. If you end up pulling the unit and are going to replace forward drum stay clear with stuff made in China. Brad

    Transmission?

    @CDW6212R with the 4R70W you could cut a 2 WD output and use as a 4x4. Not on the 5R series. Brad

    Update Would you call this totaled??

    Definitely has structural damage and book on a FWD maybe around $20,000 -$23,000 resale value with that mileage. Brad
