Sweet. I thought that would be it. Yes, I do remember turning that one in. I'm guessing this test plate is not an Auto Zone part. I'll get the pressure checked and see if that tells me anything. Gator

JK, Thanks for the input. Not sure if you picked this up, but you're dealing with a rookie here! Don't know what the center support bolt is, and definitely don't know how to air check the forward clutches. I'm not a buffoon, but I don't necessarily have all the terminology down just yet...

Any other ideas on why I'm slippling out of gear so bad. Reverse is bumping into gear fine, but it goes into forward so subtly, it can hardly be felt. Anything past about 30% throttle sends it slipping out again. Gator

Thanks Brooklynbay. I'll get that guage and maybe have time to test this weekend. Can I adjust the EPC to change the pressure or does that change a different pressure? I'm wondering if the EPC came with the wrong adjustment. Or maybe it was just built by a rookie...

Update Pulled the tranny again & the forward clutches were all burnt, just like last time. Replaced them, got a new EPC solenoid from a local shop, who seemed very knowledgeable and were very helpful. Reverse works great! Turns out it was just the band. All forward gears slip horribly. The...

Oh, that's strange. Glad you got it figured out. Wish I had that manual before I started into this mess. Gator

I did use the vb, separator plate and gaskets all from the 5r. Basically, I rebuilt the 5r as a 5r and only used a few items from the 4r that were necessary to interface with the truck itself, such as the DTR sensor. Thanks again, I will scare up the proper torque wrench and make sure I have...

So no O/D. At least you got half of it figured out dude.

When I bought my rebuild kit for the vb, there was only one kit for both trannies. The kit I used for the tranny was for the 5r. I don't remember which EPC solenoid I used. They both looked identical, so I think I just used the one from the 5r (120k miles). I did not use a torque wrench for...

Now my tranny has completely stopped working. Is there anybody who has experienced this before? My best guess is the EPC solenoid, but that may be just my wishful thinking. I don't know what else to try. It really ran 1-2-3 well before it stopped, but started having a flare-up a day or 2...

T'Coop, I did the same thing with the shifter after rebuilding my 5r! I was so disappointed, then I slept on it and figured it out. Felt stupid for doing that, but its my first 5r, and only my second tranny. Now, I have the same issues, no reverse & no OD. My first guess was the reverse...

I rebuilt a 2wd 5r converted to 4wd 4r and just got it back in my truck. I used the case, bellhousing, VB, internals, and pump from the 5r and the externals, output shaft, nosecone and TC from the 4r. My two issues are no reverse and no overdrive. The TC is locking up just fine, and the...

Hey folks, I'm in a bit of a jam and could use some help. I just purchased a Transgo shift kit to rebuild my 5R/4R and lost part of the instructions. I tried going online to find them, but haven't yet. My next option is to go to the place I bought it and ask them to let me make a copy. I've...

OzzE, Sorry you had to give up on your ride and take the loss. Mr V, I have a bad 4r in my '95 and a good 5r sitting beside it. I'd be very interested, and grateful if you could post some details about your swap. Which part is the range sensor? Which solenoids did you have to swap...

:(

Cool, Not a silly question at all. However, the linkage doesn't really shift gears, it only acts as a switch to activate different solenoids. The solenoids move valves which redirect fluid which actually does the shifting. So back to the problem of pressure; no pressure, no nothing. Gator

I have the same problem in my '95. The ride height seems to be about right, if anything it is higher in the front than the rear. The alignment shop told me they could only adjust toe in and I would need a set of $200 eccentric something or which in order to fix the camber issue. I was very...

Nice pull! I had a '95 XLT (Andy, because he was so handy). I did all manner of construction from it, as well as a little bit of surveillance. It was almost invisible to most people in the neighborhoods where I worked, and I never ran out of space for hauling supplies. Very reliable, even...

Ooooh, yes. Very interested in doing a diesel conversion. Please keep us posted on what you figure out. Gator

Just bought a '95 EB in decent shape, except for the tranny which was totally out when I got it. Did some looking and figured out it might just be the fluid level. 4 quarts later, the truck shifts smoothly, both up & down. The only issue with the tranny is it takes a while to shift into gear...

I think I'm going to refer to my skid plate as the bash plate from now on, I like that. Gator

JK,Thanks for that response. I'm going through something similar, so I'm happy to hear it could be as simple as a TC fix. I bought the truck with the bad tranny, so I'm not as clear on what lead up to the failure as if it were mine. Thanks again. Gator

Hey everybody. Brand new to the site, because I have a brand new 1995 Eddie Bauer, with some problems. Until it gets fixed, I'm enjoying our late Summer drought on my Goldwing. I have had great luck with forums in the past, so I have great hopes for this one. So far it seems to be quite...
