I think stock is 1600-1900.... but, the T/C is so sloppy, its rather hard to tell.

Any of the 'big name' manufacturers will be order of magnitude better than the stock unit........ Spend at LEAST 200 bucks on a new one.

That site looks awesome. Thanks. Ill call them tom. and for those who loose reverse all of a sudden a possible cause is a broken direct clutch pack snap ring. In reverse the rear band, front clutch, and direct clutch are in use. My front clutch and rear band are in perfect condition along with all my other clutch packs. When the snap ring ring breaks the clutch pack becomes very loose and can no longer grab. I geuss Ill order the snap ring, beefy torque converter, tcc and od solenoids, input shaft seals, replace the trans. cooler check valve hose, crank sensor, and see if that fixes the problems.

on the NO BUS, forum member mastertech suggested unplugging all sensors to see if the no bus would go away, then plugging them back in (battery disconnected) one at a time to see which one trips the no bus.

Just about with the trans. overhaul. Added PATC upgraded bands and extra strong snap rings to avoid what happened, and an 1800 stall viper series converter. Putting the accumulator piston in something seemed funny. Looked in service info and realized I never had an accumulator spring. Im geussing its going to be a world of difference when back on the road. As for the elec. problem Im throwing in a new mopar crank sensor when installing the trans. and go from there. Thanks for the replies. Ill keep you posted.
