Nice, I put the timing belt on mine last night, just have to hook everything else up and replace the rear caliper. I'm getting excited to start mine as well, I know it'll all be worth it when I turn the key.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Moar running 1g's. Gooooood.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Wanna run a liter bike? Haha jk. Glad to hear its running again. Can you make it to sears this wekend?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Good deal! What was it anyways?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Funny man you are Paul.

I thought I posted it was my starter from the night before.

Now to look up some track days!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

About time he became a normal DSMr. :cheer:

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

lol, went to take it for a test spin and fail. Car is stuck in 3rd.
Not sure why yet obviously. But if anyone has a TCU I can try out it would be much appreciated. Mine looks ok, but well something is up.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Would a 2G TCU work?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I checked the TCU codes this am, it was a 83 - open/short-circuited shift solenoid A.

So it's not looking like its the TCU, but now I just need to figure out how to test the solenoids.
How many plugs does it have? mine is the 3 plug TCU. I know some are 2 plug.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

No idea, I just think I might have a 2G TCU somewhere here at the shop. Would have to look for it.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Ah, don't bother, at least not yet. Everything is pointing to something unplugged or solenoid taking a shit.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

5-speed conversion!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

7 speed out of a benz?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

8-speed out of a new Hyundai Genesis?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Touche good sir!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Ford 4 speed with hurst shifter?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Ford 4 speed toploader FTW! LOL

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Hmm 3 speed? Less gears to shift = faster right?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

3 on the tree to see if you really have driver mod.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Turn the motor, 2 speed powerglide. Oh wait, Buschur did that in the 90s.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Sounds like Brown has some work to do!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

The solenoid only have one 4-wire plug and are very easy to ohm. Check out Kigglys site and match the wire colors, I believe a is yellow and b is orange. Its the single four pin plug that goes into the front of the transmission.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I think I still have a solenoid too.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

15 speed mack truck son! Hi and lo gear for racering and hwy cruise. Great gas mileage.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

CVT.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Ahh airplane propeller out the front.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

SOld. VB is out of the car, I'm failing somewhere testing it though.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

So far everything points to the shift solenoid A being bad, I picked up some replacements that ohm'd out good so hopefully this will do the trick.

I also increased my pressures manually since I had the VB out, sadly the trans fluid was pretty dirty and did have some debris in the pan.
Looks like this winter I may have to send out the trans to get built instead of a motor. :(

Also no-one appears to stock the pan gasket I need so I'm updating this instead of testing the new solenoids.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

RTV is your friend in times like this.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

No thanks, I'll either do it late tonight or get up early and do it in the am. I'd rather do it right. OF course unless anyone in here has RTV'd their transmission pans in a upped pressured car.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Upped control pressure should not pressurize the trans case, just the control main used for your hydraulic circuits.

Ultra grey would work fine if it was allowed to be cured, but I think the trans does use a gasket from the factory.

I use full main pressure after 9 psi of boost, but I am using a gasket.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

New Evo's don't even use oil pan gaskets, its all RTV...but I am not sure the pressure seen there vs a trans one.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

The only way the transmission pan will see pressure is if the breather is plugged while the fluid heats up.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

If I see RTV on that pan I'm gonna kick you. Buy a filter it comes with a gasket.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I used black oil resistant RTV on both of my transmission pans with no problems. None of my local parts stores ever had gaskets in stock.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Lol you guys are silly. RTV seals better than a gasket IMO.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Comes from the factory with a gasket, should remain a gasket.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Tell that to human trannys.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Is it trannys or trannies?
