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:
