Today, me and my nephew finally got to look at the transmission taken from a 1986 GN. I obtained on a piece of all vital information except the information on the trans case on the driver's side above the trans pan rail. Here's what I have:
1) Trans Tag Identification on right rear tail shaft area: 281-872BRF1147 (These letters and numbers stamped onto tag) No further markings, but it's still riveted from the factory.
2) The servo cover on the passenger side read some numbers, but I didn't get them all. Here's what I got: 694 was the last 3 numbers
3) I pulled the pan off, pulled the filter off and on the valve body, there was "Pink paint lines" and on the side by the manual valve area of the valve body in "pink writing was BR3".
Gentleman, what does this all mean? Is this a good transmission?
Everything is clean inside the trans that has been covered for a year or more.
Plans I have are to install a HI-Tech "Art-Carr" valve body shift improver kit and a new TCC solenoid I just purchased from Kirban's performance, as well as a B&M Supercooler.
Lastly, the torque converter has orange paint on the center "circle area", it's mostly black in color-or machined steel colored, but it doesn't say "D5" anywhere? Do all GN converters say "D5? Looks slightly smaller than 12 inches in diameter, and again everything including the inside of the trans pan is very clean. Any help defining this is greatly appreciated.
