^^^ that wasn't in the original post. Perhaps you should be a little more polite if you want help.

not being rude as i posted. i try not to be when asking for help. just sometimes its a lil frustrating. i know ron has to deal with a lot and some posts are easily forgoten, its rude to troll a post looking for problems. put yourself in my shoes im sure a lot of people are in them now. rebuilt trans as of march last year, trans shop wont look at it, they say its electrical. over a year later im still asking questions. just a lil frustrating dont you think.


ok ron. can you point me in the right direction or a person who is knowing of the internals of this particular first gen trans

I can't, only automatics are my wife's and I just swap the trans if there is a problem.

Took an automatic apart 35 years ago, a few ball bearings and springs fell out and I looked for where they might have come from, said to myself this looks like a PITA and went and got a used one, put it in, F*ed up Front pump, this is when I learned about the torque converter having to be install on the trans and pushed in while turning it to lock into place in the front pump BEFORE installing the trans.
So got another used trans put it in, drove it a week, and sold the truck.
Been a manual only guy since then.

I understand them much better now but not at the level of rebuilding them, and don't have them rebuilt so can't recommend anyone.
