I thought the same at first. So I got under the car and checked the torque convertor bolts and flywheel. Both checked out to be ok. I was hoping to find loose bolts :confused:

No it only ticks between 1600 and 2200 RPM's. Would a drive chain do that?

Trans is a 325-4L with a D5 converter (which is basicly a FWD verson of the 200-4R except the pump is more like the th350). The sound I am getting can only really be heard while its in gear. And under a slight load. It sounds kinda like a ticking sound of a really bad lifter, except its...

Yeah them 4WD rims do fit. The rims I bought are aftermarket American racing rims that where originally installed on a 4WD blazer. They measure 16x7.5 with a 5.75 backspacing. They fit perfectly, no rub at all anywere! Using a gear calc if you originally used 205 70 15 tires then your 225 50...

First, this is not a turbo car. This is a stardard rivi that has been modified. It is powered by a 403 cubic inch oldsmobile with a 214/224 camshaft, 2400 stall, edelbrock intake, ported everything, modified trans, and a bunch of other junk but anyway who cares... Since alot of people are...

In my search for a 3.36 I found one at Ace Auto Recycling in Arizona Thanks to the tip from TRiv. Ace said they where removing it from a 83 Turbo Riviera It arrived today, and looks great! Cleaned and ready to install. They even included the speedo gears (one yellow and one green). I...

Does anyone have one for sale or does anyone know if parts are available to convert my existing one to a 3.36? Right now I have a 3.15 but need a 3.36. I heard some of the diesel toronados came with 3.36, is this true?

Dont know about the turbo buicks, but behind any v8 the D6 stalls at a whooping 1800 even. Which is still too low to do anything special.

This is my brothers car, he called me and asked me what this was...... His trans is foaming out the overflow. He claims its at the correct level. What can cause this?

Well I already dropped the VB. I didnt find anything out of place or stuck, I cleaned everything up real good and re-installed it. Seems to work just fine now except for one minor detail................................... The 1-2 shift used to be at 5200, now its at 5000 The 2-3 shift...

ok now the problem is intermitted. it shifts fine through all its gears one moment, then it only does first and second the next. i have a feeling the TV valve is getting stuck becauase when it does act up, it feels like alot of TV pressure. What would cause the TV valve to stick. Should...

What would happen if the Line Bios Valve Stuck Open, Could it cause shift points to change? or what would happen?

it gets weirder now! Now the WOT shift from 1-2 has gotten higher, went from 5200 to 5600!!!

Anyone else got any ideas?

I already checked that, dropped the pan this morning. Removed the TV cables lever on the valve body and reinstalled it. I can pull on the little rod and here the check ball bouncing around so i know its holding the ball up and away from blocking the hole. Im stupped, I thought that was it...
