Finally got the truck back today, along with the box of broken parts I got from the original tranny failure.

Broken rear planetary set


Rear sun gear is missing a tooth


Cracked parking gear


This goes inside the parking gear, all of the teeth were shaved down when the parking gear split and opened up a little bit.


The rest of the above part ended up here.


Cool stuff eh? Funny thing is all of the soft parts were in great shape considering I had 75,000 hard miles on the tranny.

 

So hows the newest trans doing so far?

 

Just viewing your pics and wondering if there is bushing inside that rear sungear?

 

So far so good, only put about 40 miles since I picked it up, but it feels much better all around. All of the shifts are nice and firm, and 1st gear doesn't feel like it's dragging anymore.

I dunno, I'm not at home right now but I'll check it out when I get hoeme.

 

Cool pics and I'm glad to hear the new one is holding up so far.

 

75 miles, no problems yet

 

Fingers crossed.

 

140 now...went for a little drive last night. You guys know how hard it is to pass the "Suicidal Performance" car club (consisting of a Silverado, Mustang GT, and three ricers with big *** car club stickers on their windows) on the street and not be able to show off a little bit?? Damn break-in!

 

you have to break it in?

I was playing on the first day with mine and I have probly 600 on it and no sign of a problem

 

I don't want to, everyone has told me that break-in is not needed, but if I don't follow his instructions my warranty is void

850 miles on the tranny now, no problems.
