    Help! Replaced transmission... same problem

    PS. Did you look at your crank spacer? Could it have been so mutilated so as to cause chronic TC problems?

    Help! Replaced transmission... same problem

    I am clearly out of my depth here. You are going to have to rely on some of the transmission "heavies" for actual info. But again, a couple of thoughts. 1]What toruqe converter are you using? If you are using the one off of the old tranny, then, well. And I think that junkyard converters have...

    Help! Replaced transmission... same problem

    I don't know a lot about transmissions, but a couple things occured to me when reading your post. If I'm wrong hopefully somone will correct me. First, why did the transmission expel from the vent? One reason could be overheating. If neither tranny pumped through the line, is it possible that...

    Out, damned wave washer, Out!

    I'm ashamed to say that before you posted your kind and sensible reply I copied the picture of the Sonnax jig and went berserk. :rolleyes: I now know why the jig is important. I am an idiot. I hope that I'll be OK because the washer and bushing cover that territory and in spite of my best...

    Out, damned wave washer, Out!

    Transmission Torment

    Glacier, Thanks for the info. I'll have to wait a few days to put your suggestions into effect, but am looking forward to doing so. I didn't see any fluid in the lines when I looked the first time, but didn't know to look for same so i may not have noticed. I'm afraid though, that it is the...

    Transmission Torment

    Thanks for the note back. I think that it will only shift at high motor rpms because of the speed that the rpms represent. What i mean is that i get to 45 miles an hour or so, then back off the throttle, so the rpms drop but the speed stays high, and the low rpms and high speed sort of meanders...

    Transmission Torment

    Jones 94 Explorer XLT My A4LD is giving me fits. It will not upshift correctly in any gear except OD, and vacuum downshifts into too low a gear for added redline entertainment. I thought it was the speed governer as these are apparently problematic, and I decided to ignore the fact that...
