It's not that easy, as I have a bunch of CK-sourced parts from building my own trans that has the same issue that many are posting on this board. Using another builder would mean I have a pile of parts I can't use.

Was there any resolution to the original poster's problem? I'm about to pull the trigger on a 200-4R from CK but I'm noticing that my issue is almost exactly the same as two others on this board using CK components. I'm nervous as hell now.

You aren't missing anything. I built the unit myself. Somehow this thread took a direction that I never intended. As for CK, I'm happy with them based on my personal experience.

I've decided to get a new trans built. I don't know yet if I will ship him my current trans or just ship the known good parts. I already took out the transmission this morning and I'm ready to get this over with. We ship very large items at work so I should get a decent deal on shipping.

Well I spoke with Chris at CK and we went through all the possible options again and confirmed the spacer plate was correct. He said, and I had a feeling this would be the situation, that there is a good chance that if he rebuilds the trans it probably will do the exact same thing. He suspects...

I put mine in as shown in picture 2. It didn't stick on the valve like I would have assumed, so put a bit of Vaseline on there to make it easier to install into the valve body.

I remember that page. I wonder if I did install 5 in the case, and I believe I did. I double checked the manual, and it indeed shows seven...and I remember having two left over after I put the check balls into the case. In my situation I left the 3rd checkball in the valve body because I'm only...

The hole with the black arrow is what I believe is the TV exhaust hole. I'm showing it to be 0.210" in diameter. I can't see opening this up would make any difference, but I'll post back when I talk to Chris (he may be referring to something else). Now, you said you used 5 checkballs total...

There is, page 111 in his manual. The TV exhaust hole isn't listed on there but I believe I know where it is. One thing I thought of this morning, his manual recommends the TV exhaust lifter and spring to be removed during reassembly, and I believe the check ball as well. These parts here...

I got a new gauge (I'm borrowing the one I was using) and hose assembly. The pressure is the same, but thankfully the pressure rises at a faster rate than it was before. The other gauge was lazy. So I didn't solve any problems, but at least I feel like I've made progress. I talked to Chris...

Wiseman, I've been following your posts as well. Personally, I'd be OK with your numbers, although the manual low pressures do seem minimal. What bothers me is no matter what change I make, nothing changes the pressures at all and the pressure rise is very slow - it takes a couple seconds to...

I agree, fluid level is OK.

Level is full I believe. The HOT mark on the dipstick is a ways up from the pan mating surface. O-ring is intact on the filter and "appears" to be seated fully. I've tried two filters and two pumps at this point. I can hear the pump loading when the cable is pulled, and I can feel the hose...

Ok guys, I need help! I'm at my last rope with this trans. It's a fresh 200-4R with a bunch of CK Performance parts (Billet forward drum, master rebuild kit, shift recal kit, big servo. I used his manual as well. The trans is an AA code. Converter is a Hughes 2500 lockup. I followed CK's...
