This a new issue from my last old thread when I had the transmission rebuilt and was having issues with no/ or low oil psi, and overheating. I put about almost 24k miles since. That is until recently I was hauling a Lincoln town car lowrider driving back home from Ontario, California.
I got off the freeway and started making my way towards the Cajon Pass in California and I could feel the transmission struggling on tow/haul mode looked at the temp and kept climbing usually it'll climb to near 225ish F and it'll cool back down by itself.
I kept going and sure enough I had to downshift to 3rd and it eventually started slowing down even more at 40mph. I pulled over and let it cool down, was back on the road all normal. I told myself this wasn't normal so.
I stopped using the truck and pulled the pan off, shift solenoid A the plastic housing had broken off. ended up removing the valve body because somebody overtorqued the screw that holds it in.
I brought a Transgo shift kit HD2 installed it, followed all instructions expect internal modifications. At first I had issues with no oil pressure, even though I checked it multiple times in park idling at full temp. did extensive testing of all new solenoids and all turned out to be working. Turns out after some research some were saying to check in neutral idling. I needed more oil.
I added more oil and now it was reading correct and had pressure in the transmission, I have Reverse and D gears but don't feel them engage at all but reverse does work real good has bout 200psi with no binding.
D and manual 1-3rd gears feel like transbrake is on but I don't have a transbrake. I jacked up rear diff and put jack stands and try again in D and 1st around 2500-3000rpm the rear wheels start to spin but the minute I let go of throttle it stops almost immediate.
I ended up calling Transgo the guy told me misplaced check balls or if the builder had did a dual feed clutch modification I would need to remove the plug in the case side near there center support bolt, so I pulled off the valve body again, I don't have a plug on the case side. kinda stumped at this point
I know TCC works? because I used my scanner and turned on the TCC through the scanner and tried to go foward and stalled the truck.
