my tranny is making noise like something is loose and its pretty loud. its done it since i bought it 8 months ago. but just recently when i first start it up and put it in gear its sorta like it takes a couple seconds to go even hitting the gas. any ideas from the tranny gurus? oh and if its taking a dump on me whats the best aftermarket transmission under 3k? lol just getting prepared

 

drop your pan and if there's any broken parts like snap rings and such.

 

1. You could be just starving your system
1a. +1 on dropping the pan
1b check fluid level, smell and color
1c clean your tranny cooler lines

2. Our trannies are fairly easy to overhaul yourself. I did mine 20k miles ago, cost me $400.

 

^what special tools are required to rebuild yourself?



kinda sounds like a cracked Torque converter

 

Take a look here. http://bellsouthpwp2.net/t/h/thegobb...ansmission.htm

It lays everything out for you.

 

does that pretain to the 46RH as well? im not quite sure the diff. between the two aside from mechanical govenor, and electric governor

 

i just changed the fluid and it has new cooler lines. and dropping the pan is so messy lol

 

oh and the transmission was replaced at 75000 miles and my truck has 97000 on it now. if it goes i think i'll get the mega viper transmission for 3k. any one ever heard anything bad about that tranny?

 

you'd be better off rebuilding, it would be cheaper and it can be bulletproof almost with 3k

 

what would i tell them to rebuild it with? just the most hardcore parts you can find? lol
