My previous post gives details of the problem and car info... http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/transmission-talk/353682-help-trans-temps.html In short, trans temp rises to 210*+ on hwy. I may have found the problem, please tell me if this sounds likely to be the case. I thought...

Just installed 2004r last weekend. Mostly around town driving all week, some highway but only a couple miles and usually in the evening. Trans temp never went above 180* (averaged 170*), eng coolant temp averaged 180*-190*. I took it for a trip today (late morning, outside temp about...

I'm getting a bang or clunk (from intermediate servo?) when trans shift to 3rd at light to med throttle. More than 50% throttle shifts are firm, no clunk sound (lighter throttle/harder clunk). 1-2 & 3-4 are clean shifts. Where would be the best place to start/change to rid the clunk...

:confused: Nevermind, sorry. I gotta call Chris re shift kit I got. Is he there on Sat? _______________________________ Jim

I assembled direct drum, installed on center support using teflon seal rings, center ring left out to dual feed. When air checking #2 plugging #7 and vice versa, clutches engage, no air out if #6. Is it normal to have air escaping between center support and drum (lower seal)? Thanks...

How much material do I need to machine off lo/reverse housing to add bearing in place of thrust washer? I measured the thickness difference of the washer (.063") and the torrington bearing (.143") to be .080". Does that sound right, machine .080" off the housing...

Anyone have a used one for sale? I've got a BQ (84 regal) trans I'm going through. Valve body cracked at 4th gear switch, probably could repair. I figured easier to replace, want to use a KC valve body. Also, can I use original governor or is there a governor I should use with KC VB to...

I've got a D5 and a TH350 converter as well. A while back you were sending tags to ship back to you? Both are yours if you want them. Email lindsayzoo@dslextreme.com _______________________ Jim

Chris, have you got any more for sale? Couple weeks ago you sold off a few for $100. Also, any progress/info on the new servo your working on? _____________________________________ Jim

Got the trans apart due to 2nd gear slipping, band burnt, clutches and steels burnt. OK, Currently the dia. toward the rear of drum is 6.174" with a couple spots at 6.173-72". and the dia. toward the front of the drum is 6.178" with a couple spots at 6.176". In other words there is a...

I posted earlier about concerns with pressure readings, and new things have developed. Is this trans going to need to come back out after only being driven a week, maybe 50 mi's? :frown: I drove to the video store tonight and noticed after it shifted into 3rd, I let off the gas doing...

I rebuilt this 2004r using Chris' manual, just installed into my '64 Chevelle, using BTO's TV made EZ cable kit. Gauge fluctuates about 20psi so I noted the mid point, (i.e. fluct. btwn 80-100psi, noted at 90psi) ------------ Min T.V. -------- Max T.V. 1000rpm Park...

When reading pressures, is it normal for the needle be fluctuating rapidly about 20ftlbs, say 80-100 at idle in park, or should it be firm on 90? I'll post back pressure readings in all gears, along with some more questions, but wanted to be sure gauge was acting normal or not...

'84 GN 'BQ' transmission I've got the thing apart right now. My question is with the intermediate servo INNER and OUTER pistons. If you change the intermediate servo to an 86/87 GN servo, as many do, is the 'INNER piston' changed as well as the outer piston and cover? The original...

I know there are two pump cover cast #'s (#150 early & #088 late), and there are three body cast #'s (#149, #082, #690). My question is are there big differences ( one more preferred over the other) between a pump w/#150 cover & #149 body vs. a pump w/ #088 cover and #082 body...
