No it wasnt broken just the bigger or upper o-ring, but i was thinking could the pressure be too high from the valvebody pressure regulator or something. But it only does it shifting into 3rd or 3rd to 4th. The o-rings look like 1/4 of it has been pinched off perfectly sharp cuts at the edges and everything.

 

the 3rd to 4th spring was broke but the shift kit came with a new one, the rear band accumulator was good not broken

 

Ok today I figured the accumulator problem it was not knocked all the way in the bore so that's fixed. Now I still have no shift from 2nd-3rd which I can feel better and slipping reverse when warm. I pulled the valve body and took the shift kit out and stock stuff back in to double check its not that. I did replace the gov solonoid with a borg warner one before I rebuilt it the only problem was second slipping so should I try my old one or the pressure sensor or both.

 

I air checked all the clutches and everything felt and sounded good.I read that these trannys usr 1st and 2nd if electonics are messed up.

 

Did you download the service manual here on DF? Has excellent troubleshooting guide on tranny.

When you installed the Sonax kit, did you open up the hole on the divider plate?

And work is so busy (doing a conference the rest of the week) that I am not on here every day, and when I am it is usually not for very long. PM sends an e-mail that I can get on phone wherever.

Servo should not have to be "knocked" in. It should be snug, but push in easily. O-Rings need tranny lube when fitted to keep from damaging.

 

I download a good dianostic pdf but I don't remember from where but its very specific about info. I did drill a hole bigger and notch the tranny exhaust slot for the shift kit. And the govenor did pop in a bit hard but I did lube it and I pulled it out to make sure I didn't hurt the o-rings. I just don't understand it had no problems but the sexond gear slip when I rebuilt it and put the shift kit in. I have gone through almost everything but the electronics besides the new governor.

 

It even had a broken 3-4 spring and it drove fine before

 

I haven't read through the whole thread but have you checked the TV Cable adjustment?

 

nice truck. But transmission problems often happents in trucks older 10 years

 

stewie01 I have tryed to adjust the TV cable but it did'nt seem to change anything. Do you by chance have the adjustment instruction. re33ak thanks and this is the first truck i liked enough to fix the tranny and keep it i used to just to get rid of them after i blew them up, i'm not very gental lets say lol.
