1999 dodge 1500 NTK o2 sensor, search in EBay or Amazon. In San Diego at the box stores NTK is hard to get.
eBay has been the place for a few parts I have needed. NAPA had one just wont get it till this coming week. It's like they have limited the what's on the shelf anymore.
How many quarts do I need after rebuilding transmission? I believe it's 10 quarts. I have to put two quarts in the torque converter and the rest in the transmission if I remember right?
12 qts, maybe a little less, a little more. Fill the torque converter first with 2 qts before installation and then the rest in the transmission.
Ok. I wasn't for sure since fluid/filter usually calls for 6qts. I'm in a pickle here since Ford is pretty much down due to weird noise from rear end so it's forcing me to speed the progress with the Dodge. I just installed the valve body. Waiting for Amazon to delivery the pan that I bought. It has a drain screw installed. I'm going to pretty much burn the midnight oil trying to get everything in by tonight if possible. This isn't going to be fun being only one person to do this. I hate missing work. I got it out on my own but question if I can get it back in on my own? I'm going to do a dry fir with converter while it's on the bench to make sure it fit's and measurements are correct before adding fluid. Crossing finger here. lol
Getting the transmission back up behind the engine at the proper angle is the toughest part. Once you get a bolt or two in the transmission to hold it in-place, things roll along well from there.. Doing the re-install on your back is never any fun.
I agree. I see frustration in my future but I will muscle my way through this. The exhaust pipe had to be worked over so it will be the same when going back in. For a small tranny, it's still pretty heavy. I have to make a quick run to parts store for more transmission fluid and something to clean the quick connect on the trans line. They are being stubborn as expected. This is going to be fun. Will update when more progress is made.
Now the dumb question ❓ I have installed the converter and it's setting in at 3/4. I wanted to make sure it was in all the way even though I am sure it is. If you spend the converter by hand. Should the tail shaft spin? I tried but it didn't move so I am a little worried.thanks
Yeah, the t/c sets back in there a ways when it is fully seated. Getting the lugs lined up when you can't see them is always fun.
No, output should not spin when you turn the converter. No clutches are applies, there simply isn't enough pressure.
Yeah, I feel like a idiot for the question.lol. I just remembered it had to spin to get the bolts out. Man I need to take a moment and eat. 3/4 is what it calls when fully in place. I measured from the feet to outside of bell housing. I can also here the little slack of it when I move it back and forth. Where it clicks. I flushed and cleaned the line. Thanks for answering. Taking a small break here.
