Hey guys I'm stumped at the moment and have been going through threads trying to solve this problem I've had since I overhauled my tranny.
Well first I had to pull and overhaul my trans since I had my intermediate band break and I lost 2nd gear which is fairly normal upon test down I found a damaged intermediate ring gear and planetaries so I got new ones I replaced the 2 bands and replaced all the clutches and thrust washers that were damaged or worn, I tore down my valve body and replaced the 2 gaskets upon further inspection I found I had some scoring in my reverse servo hole so I got my servo machined down and installed the sonax sleeve kit in to the hole now after all is put back together I attempted to pull it out of the shop I had reverse when driving in the air and forward gears but once I tried pulling out reverse when bye bye. Next I know my o/d light is flashing and I pull codes for 647 and 648 no 3rd and 4th. I looked on my 4r44e/4r55e band application chart and found that the only thing they all have in common is the direct reverse clutch is applied in those 3 gears, now I thought I had problem with my valve body gasket if I got the 2 relief springs mixed up so I pulled that down last night and found no problems, I checked my reverse band by pushing against it with a long 1/4 in extension and it seemed to be in place fine and I can't find any problems I have no idea what to really look for anymore since everything worked fine before maybe some debris got stuck in my EPC so I heard something about a spool valve by im not sure any further help for me would be greatly appreciated since I'm now down a car have been having to use my girlfriends currently to get to work, thanks for any help given!
