Did you get kissed too while they were f*ckn ya.How could you let that happen?

 

So i found. that the little spring clips in the 3-4 clutch were upside down and the metal clutch plates in the 3-4 were to small......so hopefully replacing and fixing these probelms will get my 3 and 4 gears back.

 

I didn't have a choice. my rent was up at school and I was trying to get going.
I had no way of diagnosing it. didn't have much say in the issue

 

I think I read in somewhere that its recommended to remove those spring clips. I can't remember for sure, its been a long day.

 

do you know if they have that in writing somewhere that you can just remove them spring clips?..........

 

I'll look when I get home today, but I believe it was in the ATSG manual.

 

It is true,they say remove them,some 3-4 clutch makers say leave it or some.Not a seriouse item.If you air checked 3-4 why didnt you see there was a problem? With the problems/mistakes you have found you are making it will be a miracle this thing works properly.no offense good luck.Did you figure it out or did you bring someone else in?

 

when i air chefked the assembly the first time....it still worked the say way that it would if they were positoned different....it made no difference....not to mention this is my first time overhauling a transmission...and the manauls i have are crap....and don't explain very well. i figured the spring thing out just by looking at what went wrong.

 

ATSG recommends you remove the 3-4 load release springs. I hope all is good and you have 3rd and 4th now.

 

my suburban works very good now......just like the day i bought it.....especially with all the ice we got the other day......4 wheel drive rocks....
