Completed a total rebuild in August last year. This included seals, discs, clutch plates, modulator, TC, bands, valve body rebuild.... uhh.. i think thats everything?
Since then I have driven less than 10000 miles more on the vehicle. The initial failure that had prompted the rebuild was 3rd/reverse failure.
Now 2/3 shift is acting up - it wants to keep revving from 2nd and skip 3 over to 4th unless you back off the accelerator.. then it will downrev and shift in to 3rd.
Aaaaaand now reverse is gone again. It has slowly been giving warning signs of some issues the past week or so... not wanting to shift in to reverse after periods of long driving.. partial reverse engagement.. slow to engage reverse.
Just this morning went to put it in reverse - nothing. Engine revving up normally like it should to engage reverse, and it wont shift in to reverse. No 'clunk' like the reverse piston usually makes popping in to place. Sustained high revs will not force engage.
Anyone have an idea of what has happened here? Maybe some crap got stuck up in the reverse piston and wrecked a seal? (I used the recommended double lip replacement) Maybe one of the valves is sticking again? Or is there something more sinister that I am overl00king?
