a dealer open until midnight that was only a 60 mile round trip away. thanks again for all the information. ken olson clarksville mi . 222 332437 vd%mh.1077$s.328@trndny08 ok what sort of net access do you have presently if its high speed i know of a site that would have the fsm online. failing that i can send pics of the fsm in the important parts. drop me an email at my email listed here max340@verizon.net and ill give ya all the info i can. air testing of main trans across the forward end of the trans where the vb mates to the case there is a rail with ports in it. from the servo end side with dipstick fill tube its bolt hole pump suction pump pressure bolt hole front clutch apply rear clutch apply. these are the ones that matter. around the accumulator which is the piston that lost the spring when you dropped the vb out there are two large odd shaped holes. to the pan rail side youll see two ports one forward one aft of the accumulator. these are the servo apply ports. these will activate the bands front and rear. that covers all of the main trans air tests. id do those checks and reassemble the trans with good fluid and filter. then disconnect the battery for 5-20 minutes. this will clear the pcm and eliminate the possibility that the pcm got confused and failed to deal with line pressure and governor solenoids. if none of this solves the problem ill go into other details. however this would narrow it to tc or od unit assuming no problem with electronics. -- max join www.devilbrad.com and find out what free exchange of info is all about. there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author that filter doesnt look unusual. the metal on the drain plug is normal given that it wears over time from the steels in the clutch packs. since you dont have any metal chips or lots of friction material id suspect a bad seal on the clutch apply pistons or a tc malfunction. testing the apply pressures with a guage should tell you if a seal is gone. in addition if you remove the vb you can air test the clutches. the fsm has more details on that; if you dont have the fsm either toml or i can guide you through the process and supply pics. however both of us will strongly recommend this less-than-$100 purchase. in short if you air test the clutches you should hear a satisfying thump when you apply about 40psi. if a hissing noise up in the case follows you have a bad seal. if you get no thump its toast. please go ahead and guide me through. i am not at my place of home residence and now walking everywhere i go. i dont think anywhere has a fsm nearby except maybe the napa down the road. what would fail in the tc stator is there a sound that would not be normal i can hear a slight turbine when reving engine. i dont even have a compressor looks like i will have to go and buy one now. thanks a lot for the help so far. -- max join www.devilbrad.com and find out what free exchange of info is all about. there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author if this filter okay now it looks a bit used up or clogged. i unscrewed the drain plug the pan is made by hy-tech and it has a magnetized head on it. on the head was some metallic sludge. it looked like it had been there for a long time. i forgot to take a picture before i wiped it off. in the pan is nothing and fluid is still bright red. i still have to remove the filter which is made from a metal mesh. i dont know if that is good or not. one of the three screws is strangly metric hex so i have to go and buy a metric hex set now. update later on. gb .
