Default Trannys Gone ,again!!aahhah

So I Was Driving On The Interstate To Work This Moring When I Went To Pass Omeone, Bam, It Happened , Nuthing, No Gears, Not Even Reverse? Last Time This Happend And I Pulled The Tranny Apart And The Pump Was In Peices, I Bought Almost Everything New For The Pump Put It All Together, And Everything Was Fine. No Prior Signs Of Mischeif, Until This Morning. What Can Keep Causing This? Wrong Converter, Spacing, Wrong Pump Parts? I Measured And Calibrated Everything When I Was Puttin It All Back In, I Know My Flywheel Is Correct. Please Help Me, In The Mean Time Ima Go Check Out Finish Line Trannys.

What are you doing for your converter? Re-using it, having it re-furbished, getting a new one Etc? If you have some trash in there it can cause failures (dont ask how I know this ) I dont know if it would do what yours is doing, but it cant hurt to get a new one. Someone else's converter had something that was too long and causing problems similar to what you are having.


Id get a new converter when you order your FLT.

Your converter doesnt have to be for a 4wd. I just sold my trailblazer converter Monday. PM litredevil, he was suposed to be getting a few, or do a search for daaco converters. They are relatively cheap, and should help some. Are you for sure its the pump? If youre not sure, check your fluid level with the engine off, then crank it, and see if the level drops, if it does, your pump is probably ok.
