After getting the 80e swap done, with other problems got the truck moving on friday. After meeting with the tuner sunday morning lost 3rd gear in drive as well as reverse completely. The manual ranges will still hold first second and third. Just no gears in drive except fourth.

Trans is around a 95ish. Older case.

Builder forgot a filter, so it ran probly a good minute with no fluid flow, before the problem was found and fixed. At idle of course.

In drive, each gear will barely pull, except fourth which still hold, feels fine.

The manual ranges work as supposed to.

TC still locks up good as commanded.

This is on a vac modded Valve body. Seems WAY to aggresive, i thought a bit more could be tuned out but it was chirping the tires at aroun 80 MPH.

Im 250 miles from home, Do i drive it?

Similar symptoms in my 60e was a input sprag IIRC.....

Fluid still looks good.

 

Damn dude, that sucks! I know where it just cam from too... Your just hard on ****...

 

I already knew that.

 

Maybe your truck just wasn't meant to run. THat's like 5-6 trannies right? Get it built by FLT and be done with it.

 

7 tranies. 2 stock 60e's, 4 built 60s and this 80e

 

Colton, let me know if there is anything I can do to help. For now, might try looking through this article to see if you can match the symptoms to anything.

Seriously though, if there is anything I can do to help you get moving again please let me know.

 

Ive decided its a reverse apply piston. Or that my guess.....

 

Bump for a broken bastard sitting on my couch... lol....

 

Damn that is crazy how you break so many.

 

ok it slips in all gears but fourth.. but if you manually shift threw the gears it is fine? no slip? only mods done to the trans is vacuum mod? shift kit? valve body changes?
