    TCC solenoid Qs

    Will applying 12v to the TCC solenoid actuate it? Will reversing polarity blow it? How is that for two very straightforward questions? :) D.

    I think I smoked my D5

    Gents, correct me if I'm wrong, but if there is a lot of clutch material in the pan and some metal shavings... And all my other clutches look great! It must come from the converter, right? I guess I can order a new one or have it rebuilt locally. Typically are these things tought to...

    I think it is foaming...

    Right... I think this is clearly foaming... What can cause this? Engine off, the oil level is at top dipstick mark. Engine on, the oil drops to the lower mark on dipstick. After a few minutes... the oil level rises till two inches above the top mark. Furthermore... the line on...

    If I forgot checkball #9, 55G, LO/DETENT

    What would the symptoms be? In Drive, I start in second. I can manually shift down to first, but when I up shift back to second, I can hardly feel the 1+2 shift at all. Hmmmmm :confused:D

    Plugging the 1-2 accu feed hole.

    I have been reading some back threads of mine (was surprised what I found there) as well as others' experiences... I am a bit frustrated with my 1-2 shift. It is firms up till about mild half throttle (I am lucky if it chirps) and then seems to become less noticeable as I really get on the...

    Vibrating clutch on converter?

    Dear All, I never had any problems running my trans other than it not shifting harder when I get on the gas. All my pressures - static and driving, were ok. I did run a few hundred miles without locking the clutch of my TCI streetfighter. That was a goof and it seems that it might have...

    Dorian is dropping his trans again.

    Pressures all look fine. But for some reason I can't get real snappy shifts. This shifts are fast but not firm. I'll tear down the trans this wee k and see if there are any cooked frictions. I seem to have developed a new problem. Sometimes when I engage the TCC, I hear and feel some...

    Lockup while racing...

    What gear do you lock the converter in when drag racing? And can it hurt to leave it locked for the run? Thanks! D.

    SHOULD my shifts be snappy if I hadn't (likely) toasted my oil?

    P - 80 - 240 R - 125 - 290 N - 80 - 240 D - 80 - 240 3 - 80 - 240 2 - 230 - 240 1 - 230 - 240 This is with a CK pressure regulator, street/strip VB and shift kit. All at 1000 rpm Holding in 2 at 200 PSI, I get a very small blip of the needle right before it shifted 1 - 2 and I get...

    shifts are not very firm

    My 200-4R has been operating quite smoothly yet the shifts are not very firm. In fact at WOT I can't feel them. However, if I raise the RPM in gear and let off the gas, the shift is firmer. It almost seems as if I have to let off the gas to get a firm shift. I am going to take a while...

    Toasty transfluid...

    I finally installed a lockup harness on my 200-4R. Up till now (a few hundred miles) I had been running a 3000 stall converter with no TCC wiring connect. Can that lead to browning fluid and a slightly burned smell? Thanks! D.

    Aaaargh slipping in 1-2 and no 3 or 4

    Hi, My 200-4R was shifting erratically after a fresh rebuild. I traced it down to some sticking valves. Rather than mess with it, I decided to chuck my VB and purchase a CK Perfomance VB + governor. Pump is a new CK pump. I have a deep pan and sump. Bowtie overdrive converter. Wide...
