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

[Shane@DBPerformance]

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

[A//// Guy]

Sounds like Brown has some work to do!

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.

[munchgsx]

I think I still have a solenoid too.

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

[Goat Blower]

CVT.

[munchgsx]

Ahh airplane propeller out the front.

[turbotalon1g]

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

[turbotalon1g]

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.

[Goat Blower]

RTV is your friend in times like this.

[turbotalon1g]

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.

[blackrosenova400]

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.

[Murlo26]

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.

[blackrosenova400]

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

[munchgsx]

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

[carltalon]

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.

[A//// Guy]

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

[munchgsx]

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

[A//// Guy]

Tell that to human trannys.

[Murlo26]

Is it trannys or trannies?
