Tranny binding cure?
As most of you know, I have been complaining about my transmission binding in tight turns for the last few years. Well back on Nov 3rd. John (Lightning), Ken, and I (mostly John) replaced my timing belt, water pump, thermostat, radiator, external tranny filter, and added an external tranny cooler in place of the radiator cooler.
We replaced about 1/2 of the tranny fluid using my now famous Backyard T-Tec style tranny flushing system. Ever since then, I have had no binding in the system during slow speed turns. It is as smooth as can be maneuvering into parking spaces. I have had the fluid changed in the past with no change in binding condition. I post the thought that the old filter and probably clogged original 92 radiator cooler were creating backpressure on the tranny system and that extra pressure was what was causing the binding. Anyone else with binding want to replace their filter and bypass the radiator cooler with an aftermarket and tell me if the binding goes away? Doug
