Oh and reverse was gone all at once not a gradual wear

Oh and reverse was gone all at once not a gradual wear

When my reverse went bye-bye all at once, it was because line pressure had caused the face of the Reverse Apply Servo Piston to catastrophically fail (it cracked and had a hole in it) thus not allowing pressure to build up and move the piston and thus no go backwards! That happened on the 94 and what necessitated a total rebuild with HD/upgraded parts.

At this point I'm open to suggestions. We do have a TC rebuilder here in the valley

I would think a multi disc converter, stronger internal parts. I don't know what all was done to the one I had built as far as internals, all I could do is send you the build list he provided me. He guaranteed it to handle 600+ HP.

Send me a copy/paste of that convertor rebuild sheet too, please.

So Denata got me thinking, I'm going to take my truck for a test drive in a bit. If reverse and 3rd are both out it's rebuild time. If when I'm in first and I let off the throttle and it coasts, no compression braking, then sonnax has a fix it kit to possibly make reverse work for awhile yet. Several you tube vids on a reverse fix

 

[Paveltolz]

No "Fingers Crossed" imoji. So, actual fingers crossed. Hang in there.

 

[ak diesel driver]

So the test came out to no reverse and just coasts in first (when gear selector is in first) . all other gears work fine, so there's a possibility the fix it kit will work. WE SHALL SEE! certainly be nice to at least be able to take my time rebuilding a trans

here's the kit

 

[dbrannon79]

Nice, so you don't need to pull the tranny to do this? any way to adjust / tighten the bands while you do the install? I have read that on the dodge 46re and what not, these bands can be adjusted from outside the case which can sometimes give you a little more life out of them with worn clutches till it finally goes out.

 

[ak diesel driver]

No pulling trans necessary. Some drop the valve body for more room but it's doable without removing it. To be clear this kit isn't just a slap it in fix you have to adjust the rod length connected to the servo. Some weld it up, the kit has a press on button but it still has to be adjusted. If it wasn't for it being reverse it probably wouldn't be worth doing. I'll definitely be watching my reverse usage if it works. Just the night before I was tugging someone out of a driveway they got stuck in, I didn't have much choice but to use reverse. I noticed it seemed to stall but didn't really think about it being reverse slipping. It really was Denata's comments that got me thinking

 

[denata]

The clamping of the tapes is adjusted only by the length of the pin.

 

[dbrannon79]

I suppose for a future rebuild, if they make a upgrade kit to have a strong reverse gear, go for that too. not to mention having a wench in the front helps when needing to tug on something from the front.

 

[Twisted Steel Performance]

Les I have heard of other people doing the same thing, lengthen the pin, maybe it will get you by a while.

Please don't clog up my thread with the crude comments, Mods please delete the last couple that don't pertain

Done

Aww. That 108" of snow so far this year got you a little cranky and no sense of humor left?
