Well after installing the Transgo - I have No Reverse, 3rd or 4th. I think it might be the manual valve body as the cylinder was a little tight going in. I need help Please advise. Thanks

I found that the installer had drilled a couple of the holes (in the partition) in the wrong location on the Valve body. PITA! My thought is to weld or replace the VB. Any thoughts?

Replace the valve body. If you try to weld it you will worp it!!

It is an 1/8 hole in the bottom partition. Do you think it will warp if I was careful?

You're talking about the seperator plate? New ones are cheap...go to the local tranny shop. I actually have welded one up and it was fine.

I would buy a new separator plate. Its the partition at the back of the valve body. the two 0.125 holes were put in the wrong place by the installer. I found that mistake on Saturday. PITA! So Im hoping that I can re-weld the valve body slightly just to plug up the holes. Advice?

EXTREME

i had that exact same prob after installin my hd2 on my 80e, it turned out to be that i didn't install the new plate that bolts in between the manifold pressure switch and the valve body, and covers the pan side of the 2-3 3-4 solenoids. i know the 60 and 80 installs are different but, mine had that same prob!!

heres my install pics and thread if ya want to look:

Thanks for the thread. I had the mistaken holes plugged and bolted the valve body back on and now the transmission works well.
