Another dead Trans???

[Hocrest]

Well, the trans in Melis's car has started acting up after about 3 weeks.

About a month ago, I removed the trans to replace the front diff. While it was out, I adjusted the brake band to spec (6'#'s then back 3 turns).

For a few weeks it shifted great, in all gears, smooth as can be. Earlier this week she mentioned that it would slip in 1st and 2nd under hard acceleration. I told her to try it with the selector in 2nd, and that seemed to help the slipping. By the time I got here to look at it on Thursday, it was starting to slip no matter where the selector was.

I checked all the lines for kinks, pulled the resistor and tightened the brake band about a turn. I also checked her TPS, there was a dead spot, just above idle, so I swapped that out.

It is slipping in all gears, including reverse. It seems like it's not getting pressure.

I'm getting it towed to my place so I can pull the pan and check the internal filter. Anything else I should check??

Dave/Melis,
Sorry to hear about the trans...slipping in all gears is not a good sign...

make sure there is a good o-ring on the filter... If not you are sucking bubbles

Melis must be fit to be tied! After all, she just got Peej back on the road.

Replace the main line pressure control solenoid (A) while you are at it and reconnect the resistor.

If you do this please report the result.

Well it's a good thing the asshole that did her last tranny job warranties his work

Before I tore into it today, I decided to doublecheck the ATF level... the dipstick's dry. I just checked it before the issue started and it was full. It did not leave 3+ quarts of ATF on a puddle or in a cloud.... Check the front diff, it's full of redness


So I drain the diff and refill it with not ATF'd gear oil. Add 2 quarts of ATF to the trans and take it for a little drive. She shifts like a dream

So... back off with the trans, back off with the front diff and use NEW seals. What do I need?
I know I shouldn't have reused that tube with the rubber on each end (I did used permablack on it )

What other seals do I need, I don't want to do this again.

[TomsSVX]

its probobly the pinion seal.... Thats my guess

16 - 31295AA003 - Seal Pipe
20 - 31348AA000 - Oil Seal Retainer
21 x 2 - 806752020 - Oil Seal
1 - 31339AA122 - Gasket
