got the pump seal replaced on the tranny, found out it was replaced already with an 85 gt tranny. put the fluids in and if you don't remember my nephew also ripped out the lower radiator hose so when he was towed home. so we added the antifreeze and the drove the car around the block, it shifted fine when we started and then as the car warmed up which was pretty quick it started shifting pretty crappy so we added more antifreeze and the temp started to come down but now the tranny is having alot of difficulty shifting into reverse and the rpms get a little high and then the tranny catches in drive. what should I start doing the front seal didn't leak which was a good thing but I'm not for sure whats going on with the tranny now mike
okay don't know what happened but my nephew says that the car seems to be running just fine now. took a couple of trips for a few miles and now the tranny seems to shifting like normal but he did say that there was a very faint noise the is constant coming from the engine bay somewhere, I starting to think the vacum modulator is needing to be replaced. mike
Check for vacumn at modulator valve. You maybe hearing vacumn leak. Other than that I have no idea other than changing the modulator valve. Good Luck.
heres a solution: unbolt transmission from car attach about 100yards of nylon marine rope. find a deep lake or a pond. drop in water presto new boat anchor. -- go to the junkyard get a t-5 and the peddal assy. and just swap it over.
lol!!! love the anchor! lol, my AOD ran like crap and shifted like crap for a while there, then started to run fine, and then *poof* dead.
I'm waiting for it to blow so I can justify the swap. it is my nephews car and he wants a five speed but won't save the money till he has a reason. I would say that not having a car to drive is a good reason mike
Here's a reason; AOD rebuild= $1000. 4cyl t-5 and pedal out of a junkyard= $400. I know where to get the pedal assy, but I took the trans.
