Adding a few pictures. Notice the red arrow in the valve body pointing to that little 1/4" cap sitting sideways. I added some measurements of the spring and the spacer I wasn't sure if that is stock. This is a KZ3 Valve Body.

Update 8/8: added a few pics below. Curious what issues would cause line pressure to be 175PSI at idle without TV cable connected and in Park? While at idle and I pull the TV cable I can easily max out my 300 PSI gauge. I thought it may be a gauge issue but second gauge read identical...

You may remember not long ago I had a pump / Converter failure that was preventing my car from going into gear without dying. I had no previous experience with transmissions and Dave Husek was willing to talk me through checking out the transmission over the phone. He built me a pump and got...

Thanks that is where I got my pump and Torque Converter from, great guy! The o-ring that is messed up is just the one that goes on the outer lip of the billet cover.

Anyone have a source other than CK for the Seal Kit? They are out of town until the 23rd. I removed the servo during a recent rebuild and didn't realize they weren't standard seals. I attempted to reuse the seals but had a nice leak once I put some fluid in.

Sounds good. thanks for the Info. Here are a couple pics I took today of the inside.

I just double checked my gauge set and it was for sure .180" gap. Does that seem too loose? I didn't check the crank thrust but will do it tomm. I loaned my cam degree kit to a friend and that is where my only dial indicator is.

When I first tried to install the Transmission / converter in the car, I failed to hold the converter against the flexplate to make sure the snout would fit in the crank. So of course when I tried to get everything lined up the bell housing wouldn't sit flush and the torque converter was quite...

Makes sense. The previous owner used this setup with his LS based motor and I agree it looks like he for sure had spacers based on the diameter of the wear marks shown on the torque converter. I had to take the Torque converter to a machine shop and have the snout of the torque converter...

I appreciate the feedback all of you have provided! The TCC electric circuit has been modified and the solenoid connects to a 4th gear pressure switch that provides the ground connection when it gets pressure and the hot side is connected to a switched 12v+ source. I tried leaving it unhooked...

I was hoping that was it also since it was easy to get to but no luck.

I have not. I went ahead and ordered a new converter from PTC but it will be a few weeks before delivery. I don't have the original paper work to know who's converter this is that I have so not sure who to send it to but would be nice to know what was inside and if it was messed up or not. I...

Trying to figure out why my 200-4r decided to start locking up and stalling the motor when I put it in gear. So far I've switched out the TCC Solenoid and 4th Gear Pressure Switch. Unhooked the 12v+ signal to the Transmission and no change. Prior to removing from car I pulled the pan so I...
