Im stumpped

To install just the trans go kit they said I could do it with little to know problem or pay them 180 in labor and what ever the parts are

It would bebbetter to have them find out first if there is anproblem with the stock VB before throwing performance parts at it that could potentially make an internal problem even worse....prolonging your pain.

Well after putting fluid back in the transmission it shifts fine so I need to fix the pan gasket again and put fluid in again the spring I need to replace will only come with a rebuild kit or a stage 1 shift kit and that's what I need to fix my truck

 

[MrMarty51]

Ya ill be looking into that as soon as i can get some guidance from HotRodPc being that he works on these transmissions a lot more then i ever care to...

Send Him a PM and let Him know what color Your spring is,he said He may have one laying around.
A little mud{debris} in the bottom of the pan is OK but if the seals are getting to be in bad enough condition then it will require that dreaded rebuild.
BUT,when it is done it will be like a totally different vehicle.

 

[Paulscrawler78]

I agree that's why IMA take the steps I'm going to first cuts I have yet to smog this ****

How about the Transgo Jr Kit? It's not really a shift kit, but does correct some known issues of the 700r4, sticking TV Valve being one of them. Alot less parts to install than an actual shift kit.

I've looked around, I have a small parts bing trans parts. All I see is Th350 and Th400 parts in it.

 

[HotRodPC]

The small amount of sludge you're getting in the pan is likely from the problem you're having. Everytime this trans is goofing up, it's take more miles off the trans til eventually the trans will need rebuilt. Need to get it corrected ASAP.

You've got nothing to lose by installing a kit at this point. It's either going to work, or it's not. And if the trans needs a rebuild, then you can use the same kit in the new trans or tell the guys to install the kit you just installed. Unless you do a mail order job, then just suck it up, let them install a kit and be done with it so that you don't have to open it up and void any warranty.


All this **** does here, is makes more irritated in my situation that I can't get set up and start building transmissions again. I am so rusty on 700r4's, and that Trans is the money maker now since there are so many out there along with the 4L60-E. A guy could live off doing nothing but 700r4 and 4L60-E's out of his garage. Special tools are needed and they are not cheap. I've improvised on some of them but to hell with that. I hope someday I get set up and get the special tools needed and can start building again. And then I won't be so rusty either.

Probably would have been cheaper to pay the back fees on the 88?
