Type6: No that was not the issue.

The Trans is blown.

Regarding the car not engaging in 1st, but working in 2nd and other gears.

This post lead me to believe that you have all gears but first. Is this not the case?

 

[sakudog]

Sorry for any confusion....

The Trans lost 1st, then shortly after all the gears. The fluid is black, it is absolutely toast now.

There are a few vendors on this board who have proven to build good units. I can personally vouch for Extreme Automatics. I have his Stage 2 trans in my car. Shifts better than any other 2004r I've ever ridden in and has not missed a beat late this season with a majority of low 10 second passes. Fluid still looks great too.
Be sure you flush or replace your cooler and lines after the rebuild.

Sure thing Chief

All done! This Huesk box and stall is GREAT.

Instant spool and firm, crisp, positive shifts over the break-in.

Satisfied customer!

Dave is awesome I just talked to him too. He's about done with my transmission and took the time to tell me everything if transmission is as good as his customer support I'm beyond impressed

went with LONNIE at EXTREME AUTOMATICS....he built me a stage 1 2004r and 9.5 custom converter..suppose to pick up this week..

All these builders are best in class, but I went with the builder that was the most attentive to my situation...and every situation is different.

An update, the transmission is broken-in for the most part and everything is working GREAT. The 3021 stall is RIGHTEOUS, the car really really really wanted that converter. Partial throttle means INSTANT spool with my 6266/E85 setup and the TransTemp gauge never goes over 170 even on long, long drives.

Ultra happy so far!

Late to the party but I got a stage 3 from Lonnie. Planned for a stage 2 but the extra stuff in the stage 3 meant that I should never have to worry about the trans again as I don't plan on making anywhere near the max rating for the trans. Worked perfectly since day one after I checked and double checked pressure and TV settings.

Only screw up on my end was thinking I still needed to overfill the trans like back in the day...
