Transmission Slipping?

[Scot]

Its out and on my garage floor. Bellhousing and pump are off. Will wait to go further, parts should get here monday.

PS Kyle I found a manual, thanks again for your efforts.

Not always true. My cooler was leaking pretty seriously, but (as far as I can tell) didn't suck any water into the transmission - just pumped fluid out. Doesn't make much sense to me, but that's the way it was.

Kyle,

I lied, I started digging into this thing before my parts got here. Too eager to see what's inside. Got the whole clutch assembly out, but I am fighting with snap rings. My snap ring pliers arent doing the trick. Any tips? Trying not to fight them too much and ruin them. Am I being too careful?

[Scot]

alright got them loose. Definitely destroyed one. Hope they are sold individualy. Was able to "walk" most of them off with a screwdriver. The others all still look good.

I just put the out put or tail shaft seal in. Didnt do anything with the gears.

That is very weird that it created a syphon and would draw fluid out without getting water inside.

I guess anything can be possible.

The snap rings are thick and pretty big.

My snap ring pliers are made by snap-on tools. I didn't have a problem with them, but I would recommend maybe trying to find a decent pair so when you go back together you can safely install the new rings without damaging them.


Also there is a real thick one that needs to removed around the drive clutches. I destroyed it getting it off. My snap ring pliers would not separate the ring. Lots of prying and twisting got it loose.

That was a piece that I had to order before reinstalling the internals.


Take some pics of your project.


How are the reverse clutches and plates? Are they worn bad or warped by chance?

Reverse clutches look good to me. So does the pump, smooth as can be inside, but I sure would hate to put it all back together only to pull the tranny again. I think my main problem was fluid loss. No water in the tranny, not sure where it leaked. At least I will feel better with new clutches I guess. Still hoping to find the forward clutches torn to shreds but we will see. I posted the snap ring I ruined. Looks like I didnt even actually have to remove that one though now? It goes in front of the bearing on the input shaft. I am thinking there is not much more disassmebly needed at this point right? The planetary gear has sealing rings, but other than that, I dont see a reason to go any further, am I wrong? The shift selector, any reason to take it apart?

[Scot]

I am guessing fluid flows freely to the reduction gears, maybe I am losing fluid through the back? Should my overhaul kit have seals for the output shaft?
