Hi Bison,
Dad would love to try a servo from an 86-87 turbo regal and avoid the transmission fluid bath (Dad has had 4 of them so far) :(
Where can he find them at?
Kirsten,
Hi again Bison,
Dad didn't drill any holes at all.
He used the Chris Klein Performance Buick plate exactly the way it was.
Dad has no idea what the 2nd oil feed hole size is because the one page instruction sheet that was included with the plate only described as to where the silver BB's...
Hi Bob,
I added the pertinent info about what was done to my trans by Dad in my opening post.
I thought I would start a separate thread for this issue now and appreciate all your help.
Kirsten,
Hi again,
Well now that the 1-2 shift problem is solved I'm hoping some one here can help me out with the clunky 1-2 shift my car now has with the Transgo HD2 shifter kit and servo.
For the record this is a Monte Carlo SS trans and Dad purchased a Chris Klein Buick style separator plate to...
Good news everybody.
My dad was able to get my car working again. My boyfriend Jason and dad spent this past weekend working on the transmission and fixed the problem after borrowing another valve body thingy from a friend of Jason's brother that has an 87 Monte Carlo.
It turned out that...
Hi Bob,
Were OK, we lost power and our home had a tree fall through the second floor roof. We had to stay at my aunts home in Jackson so we werent able to work on my car.
Now we have the roof fixed and were home again, but were going to get hit by another storm today. Dad wont be able to work...
Hi Bison,
Dad tried moving the TV cable about 1/8 of inch towards the firewall and still no first gear start.
He drove my car in second gear to about 10 to 15 mph and then put the car L1 and the my car definitely down shifted. He pulled my car in the drive way and then moved the TV cable...
Hi Bison,
My dad thinks that car has been starting out in second gear right from the start now and he apologizes if he may have made an incorrect description of what was going on earlier in the thread.
But my Dad says he's absolutely sure my car doesn't have a 1-2 shift because it's already...
Hi Bison,
We're not sure if my car even has a 1-2 shift or if the shifts are not going to require my Dad to pedal the gas pedal for it to shift.
Dad thinks he may had that little tiny spring from the Transgo kit not installed in between the two valves correctly and perhaps it was...
Hi Todd, (by the way, that's my cousins name too)
Thanks for all the links and information you posted above and Dad will do the governor fix after he gets this transmission issue sorted out first.
I asked dad about the billet aluminum servo and he said yes, that the one in the kit was made...
Hi Dave,
Unforunately my Regal is not a turbo, but it does have vortech motor thing installed.
The person we bought the car from said it makes about 350 horse power. It was very fast before dad put the shifter kit in.
Kirsten,
Hi everybody,
Well dad put the valve body back in after viewing Bison's pics since it confirmed that dad had assembled it correctly.
Now dad says the car is starting out in second when the shifter is in drive. He confirmed this by driving about 15 mph and then puting the shifter in first. The...
Hi Bison,
Dad is asking (and if it's not to much trouble) if you can just take some pics of the underside area flutes ( 331, 332, 333, 334, 335 and 336 ) of the valve body while it's still assembled like the pics I posted on page two.
We would like to see how it looks in those areas fully...
Thanks for that information SSedan.
Dad didn't believe that he had actually removed that 315 spring, rather he thought the transmission might have ate it since he remembers seeing some black sludge like stuff on the little magnet attached to the bottom of the pan.
Is there a how-to here on...
