What else do you need for the SAS?

A transmission with Second Gear!
cratchhe:Just a couple of brackets for the drag-link and support the engine cross-member that has to be cut. First I have to get the tranny working right, this thing is kicking my a$$. :banghead:
More updates to come. :popc1:

what is going on with the C6?
New Ride 86 Full Size - josephitguy - 01-24-2011
It didnt have 2nd gear from the start and after a few miles the governor got gummed up and lost 3rd gear. Pulled the governor out yesterday and filtered the fluid. It already had metal and gunk in the pan, I had flushed the cooler, but maybe the break in of the clutches caused this? Didnt take the Valve Body back apart to clean it but I am going to swap a clean one out in the next couple of days. All air checks are working when I removed the valve body, even the 2nd gear servo. Then when draining the [SIZE="4"]new[/SIZE] torque converter found out the drain plug is stripped, had to put it back in but is could be leaking, had a bunch of fluid in the bell-housing from draining it but not sure, going to have to re-tap and install a new plug also, but just screwed it back in to see if the governor fixed the shifting issues.
So how much is a CARTA bus pass anyway? :banghead:
I am so frustrated with this whole truck. If I can get it shifting good I may just sell it and get a 79 Bronco to replace it. No SAS needed on that! :xyxthumbs:

Cleaned up another Valve Body and put it in tonight. The trans has 2nd gear finally, shifts exactly like it should. Needs a shift kit b/c it is a little to soft for me, but WOT it goes through the gears just fine. Damn, now I have to give Eddie back his Cummins, maybe I wont tell him. Finally this thing is one the road. The turning radius between this and the crewcab is night and day. Drove around N Chuck for a couple of hours and felt like the back end was sliding around, real twitchy too, I'll get used to it! Dont really have a choice, do I?

Thx Chuck!
Drove it to work, the Assistant Admin for the County moved the cement barrier for the Crewcab to fit into the parking space I always use. The Bronco only takes up 3/4 of the space, guess I gotta move it back!
