I had the opportunity to get up to NC to meet an awesome friend and mentor, in my quest to become somewhat more knowledgeable on the 2004r. Rich, in an earlier post, I told the TB buick tranny guys that they all ROCKED, but at that time, I really HAD NO IDEA of how much :biggrin: Boy, was...

I think I am getting closer, to getting the tranny working right ..... What appears to be happening is that I am "missing" a gear .... 1-2 seems to happen fairly quickly (maybe it is 1-3, or 2-3, THAT I am not smart enough to know), but then at around 45mph it shifts to 4th, pressure...

I have a good, recently rebuilt and fully functional TH350c originally out of my 1980 corvette sitting in my garage, wanting to be sold! Located in Alpharetta, GA 30004. It has everything + some extra parts: ($550) A) B&M 30235 Shift kit B) Chrome pan with drain plug (I will also...

I think I got myself a stall converter that is too high, but before I go there, can you experts tell me what the typical symptoms are, if that is the case :confused: On a positive note, I think all my leaks are gone, and my pressures are up, temps are always under 200* ..... will put my...

I just wanted to say THAT YOU BUICK TRANNY GUYS ROCK!!!!! I think I have worked my way through rebuild and with your expertise and time that you have provided was what kept me going and provided a nobody that knew very little about these trannies, confident! The car goes out on road...

Can someone intelligent give me, in laymans terms, what actually happens when the +12v and - are provided to the solenoid? 1) Does it restrict flow, by "plugging" the pump bore, or is it opposite, that it moves out of bore and provides more flow? 2) Once more/less flow is achieved by...

I have a spare KTF tranny that while I was having issues with the 4BQ, I would try, but have doubts ..... I can see the output shaft and the 6 clutches, with alternating steels, BUT ON TOP are 2 or 3 Steels before the snap ring ..... ???????? Is this someones idea of improvement or asking...

I want to test my throughput of fluid from tranny in/out of coolers, but do not know what to gauge results against :confused: One member mentioned "approx a quart in 20 seconds" ...... is that a reasonable throughput, if taken before it would enter back into transmission after being cooled...

Performed pressure test today, but don't have a clue what it is telling me - any of you tranny experts willing to give me some idea of what I am looking at ??? http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/azswede1960/2004rPressureTestResults.jpg

I took my 2004r on the road today ..... had a couple of issues that I could use some opinions on ..... 1) She overheated rather quickly .... about 15-20 minutes she was over 260*, so I took her back to garage and parked her. She has an external aluminum finned 18" cooler - maybe not enough...

So here I am ready to dive into a 2nd rebuild, that I will use as a backup .... I have TWO non BRF/BQ valve bodies and was wondering if it will make any difference which one I use .... one came out of a KTF (89 caddy) and the other I forget what the code was, it was a mid-80's caddy also ...

I dropped the tranny today, so see if I could find leak that is dripping down from bellhousing area, so I suspected either a front seal or the pump housing (large o-ring that goes around entire pump) ...... But after pulling the TC, I got fluid from TC all over and it will not LEAK until I...

Please don't call me a dumb****, as I know I am not an expert on this tranny yet, but stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night :D I have two issues going on, may or may not be related, I rebuilt a 4BQ core that appeared stock in every way, ie D5 converter, all the checkballs in stock...

Are there any 2004r hotrod experts down south .... I am in Atlanta, and if I need to have any work done, now or in future, I would want to be able to take/pickup the unit and meet the people doing the work ..... Anyone know of any gurus in GA, AL, SC areas ?

I was wondering, what is the pan fluid levels when it has sat for a day or two: If it is within NORMAL RANGE on the dipstick, is it ABOVE the gasket/pan??? My tube bottom is just about at gasket level, dipstick goes about an inch further and approx 1/4" of the checkered normal area is...

I have tranny back together, but in retrospect, started thinking about the little round seal that goes in through the rear of tranny and against center piece. It is the one I had to use a ground #4 eze-out to get out. Does the seal go into bore, metal end with small hole first (against the...

Is my thinking correct, when I am thinking that the TV adjustment should be fairly easy to get "right on", as I have the pan off, I should have the plunger on vb all the way depressed at point of someone using their foot to push pedal down to floor (= WOT) or is there more to it that I am not...

Ok guys I need some advice before I proceed ..... a couple of members have set me on path, but I want to make sure I get it done right this time ..... Before you say don't do this or that, buy this or that I have already purchased this stuff and it is already in tranny (kind of) :confused...

My car (1980 Chevy Corvette) currently has Th350c (lockup) tranny. Lockup is controlled by a manifold vacuum switch, that then is connected to tranny, to lockup tcc. When I install my 200-r4 (4BQ), will I only need to connect my electrical connector that is currently plugged into 350C, to...

After checking all the planets clearances, it appears that two out of four gears exceed the .024 clearance requirement. Since these gears do not have the removable pins so that the washers can be replaced (and correct clearance obtained), the remedy is to REPLACE entire carrier. Now, with...
