My tranny will not downshift from 2 to 1 when coming down from 3, so I will be driving along, in 3rd gear, downshifts to 2nd, come to a stop, but does not shift into 1 unless I manually put it in 1. What can be causing this? its REALLY starting to get annoying. Thanks in advance for any guidance...

I just put a freshly rebuilt A4LD in my truck 2 weeks ago, now im starting to have problems with it. I've put about 500 miles on it since installation, and it has been a mushy- not solid shifting, slippy kinda tranny since I put it it. I went out deer hunting today and put about 50 trail miles...

Put a new tranny in last weekend and the front pump seal is leaking. I think I buggered it up when I put the torque converter back in. Anywho- I'm going to pull it out again because its driving me nuts dripping qaurter sized puddles every night. There's some little punch marks in the aluminum...

I put a rebuilt motor from PRO-Formance powertrain products in my Ex about 2 months ago. I've only put about 200 miles on it since then... It's got a LOT of noise coming from the motor. I think it may be the valves making the clatter. I've got plenty of oil pressure and did install a new oil...

sticky button. i didnt know i could dump three 16 oz cans into that thing and still have room for more. spendy.

wow i cant believe i didnt see that before.... all is well now.. bring on the r13a!!

i have a JD 3-4 inch lift without extended radius arms. honestly, its the biggest piece of crap lift i have ever owned. just havent had the the time to take it off and put a different one on (superlift 5.5)

So when i pulled my motor out to replace it with a new one i had all sorts of stuff unplugged hangin out all over the place. i didnt label any of them because i usually dont have a problem putting wires / hoses back where they belong. except for one stupid wire on the AC wiring harness...

when i was like 15 i put a CV axle in a suburban and forgot to tighten the CV axle nut. a little off topic but thats what this post reminded me of

Hook a power wire to it and see what happens. It won't shock you unless your using your tounge or something to hold it on there, you should be fine.. Speaking of that, mines also burnt up been meaning to replace that haha..

The 4 bolts for your torque converter are only accesable through the hole where your starter bolts up to... You might need a helper to hold a big socket on the crankshaft to keep the motor from turning over. You might need to take the spark plugs out to turn the motor over to get to the other bolts.

Yes its the good ol 244 CID pushrod engine

Well it SAYS I have enough oil pressure, but can it give a false reading if the pump wasn't primed??

I have less than 50 miles on this motor since I've put it in. (Rebuilt from pro-formance) I used 10w30 oil and filled the oil filter with oil before starting... I did not "prime" the oil pump and don't even know what that does. It sounds a lot like a motor would if its low on oil..

Best to get a master gasket set when you get a used motor because then you have a chance to look at everything in the motor. You replace the oil pump because you cannot clean them out and its good to get any contamination outta there. Should replace the thermostat and water pump too. The price...

15 mm is the correct size socket for your exaust... It is unlikely that you will be able to remove them without an impact wrench though. If you stripped the bolt, then you will have to hammer on either a 12 point 14mm or 9/16ths socket. I took mine off last week with a 1/2 inch impact gun, 20...

So my rebuilt long block has an annoying knock, any ideas what might cause this? Sounds like lifter noise but I'm not too sure.

Air leak in the lower intake manifold.

I had the same problem with my transgo kit... Wound up going to harbor freight and picked up a number drill bit set for 10 bucks... Worked great no guessing

I got a rebuilt long block from pro-formance on friday and put it in my truck this weekend... I started it up and it runs VERY rough, surging from 800 rpm to 3500... What could be causing this? I'm going back tomorrow to work on it some more and don't know where to start other than making sure I...

sounds like a 3" bodylift is for you...

if you have side skirts on your vehicle (plastic things under the doors that kinda look like a step) then you cant really tell youve got a body lift. 90% of the general population dosent know what a body lift looks like anyway.. it takes a gearhead to pick one out. its also WAY cheaper than a...

LOL it is kinda close to the motor pool... notta bad idea....

thats some pretty nasty rust supprised to hear it cleaned out so easy with penetrating oil and scotch brite... ive never gotten that lucky....

i was kinda looking for a turn-key type engine for under 4000 dollars... it just needs to be at least 330 hp and carbed. i dont have the time to build the engine myself, i will be out of country from january to august of '09, and the best i can do for my project during that time frame will be to...
