[tbone]

Transmission went south again today. Started shifitng hard at times, slipping some and the torque converter was going in and out of lockup. Saw smoke and pulled over to find trans fluid gushing out of the front of the bell housing. Towed it to my trans guy who says front seal went bad. I said why? He says excessive tolerances. I said why? He starts talking about how hard it is to pull my Stainless Works exhaust. I said what the hell does that have to do with anything? He goes on more about my exhaust. What a tool. He already rebuilt this trans twice in the last 9 months. I said can he make my trans last for more than a couple thousand miles? He said he will look at it tomorrow. I'm sorry I ever took it to this idiot in the first place, but now I feel I have to or I am guaranteed to get charged 100% for this repair. I've got over $4000 in this thing. I should have bought a Monster racing trans like I wanted to in the first place. This really blows. :mad2:

[lji372]

agh!!!! that sucks

sounds like your stuck with him :mad:

have him fix it then:

get all the paperwork and possibly go to court if it goes out again. sounds like a lot of b.s but just might have to. definately start checking the laws in your area

[L.Mark]

Are you paying each time you go back? If so then, yeah, definitely do what Jerry said...

If the transmission over heated I would be concerned with has he flushed the transmission lines and at this point replaced your transmission cooler. Front pump seals fail more often then not due to heat, i.e. cooler flow. Good luck.

Very good point, the fact that it slipping in and out of lock up and gear, the fluid pouring out are signs of overheating. When it went down the second time what was wrong with it> What actually happened to it internally. Do you have an itemized bill for both repairs? If so post up the parts that were replaced...

[RF Overlord]

It was the heat from your SW exhaust that cooked your transmission. It's your fault, not your transmission guy's.

Yeah...that must be it...I knew there was a good reason not to upgrade my exhaust... :rolleyes:

[justbob]

Dibs on the headers. Not gonna cook a silly torque converter on mine, so I'm good!

After it was rebuilt the fist time, the stub shaft bent. He said it was excessive torque. I'm running around 287 rwhp, so I doubt that was it. Yes, I paid again, but a somewhat reduced amount. I'm running a 40,000 gvw trans cooler. He says he flushed it. I don't believe a word this dbag says.

One fix. Take it somewhere else.

You sir are being F^&%ed! Sorry but its true...

[tbone]

I'm feeling it.

[Curless]

I am a bit of a haul for you but I would be glad to help if I can. We got a call on another member's trans a few weeks ago, we will be doing this job as soon as funds allow.

[RacerX]

Oh my... Tolerences would be his fault. Exhaust has NOTHING to do with choosing the correct thickness shim/pump washer, etc. Damn that sux. :(

[babbage]

Once a transmission fails the metal can get everywhere, in the case etc. If not properly cleaned out (probably your trans guys fault) it will fail again. I would go for a replacement transmission, then make sure you flush the lines out, magnafine makes an inline filter. After new trans or rebuild, drive a day or two then drain the fluid out again, pan drop and replace to remove all contaminant... Also your TC will hold a lot of fluid, that needs to be flushed out too.

http://www.emergingent.com/subpage1Magnefine.htm

Make sure you get the fluid flow and arrows correct! One coming and one going (before and after the cooler) these may help.

[tbone]

Didn't hear from the fat bastard today. Got about 3 hours of sleep last night stewing over this. Tomorrow's another day........

I wonder if the cooler bi-pass malfunctioned and stayed closed. I'm thinking of deleting it. Not sure if it would be detrimental or not....

[babbage]

Ive had great results with the long cooler and thermal bypass - I run the factory cooler with its own internal bypass, then if the fluid hits 180 it gets to ride in my 24,000 gvr long mini max cooler.

[tbone]

Front seal gone. Third gear clutches fried. Pump fried. He has no explanation as to why. Trans was messing up bad before the seal went.

I'm having him put my old pump back in, since this was a new one that fried. I'm also having him put my standard torque converter back in.

He asked me what was a fair price for the work. I said would you pay for the motor in your truck to be rebuilt 3 times? Ummmmm.......wellllllll....... ..aaaaaa........

He's doing the work for parts cost, @ $150. I wanted to say no, but I expected worse.

[Curless]

You are putting a ton of trust in someone who has let you down twice before...I understand the $$$ but how many times can you afford to pay for a bad job? I think putting any used parts form your old trans that was already bad is not a good idea. I hope this all works out for you, I hate to see anyone have a problem when they trust a mechanic...

[guspech750]

Jesus Christ Tom. Dump this chump. You have to go some where else man. Enough is enough.

Perhaps call up Hans at Deans Performance and ask where most of his modded Mustangs go for trans work.

You know the old saying, "first time shame on you, second time shame on me" and now you are going for thirds? no fricking way.

Call Jimmy's -847-949-7507. They build all the super high performance GN trans (the quirky ones) and they do all other kinds of high performance cars. Everyone I know that goes to them has been very happy. They are up by you so give them a call. Not sure how cheap they are but again I have heard nothing but good things about them from guys who race there cars.

Good Luck

[babbage]

I'm going to be optimistic. 3rd time is the charm! If tbone takes it to anyone at this point it's another $1,500-2000 for another rebuild.

Make sure your cooler lines are hooked up correctly- I had both of mine disconnected, put rubber extension hose on each one, ran them into empty windshield washer jugs, then started the MM - Just to watch the OUT hose gush, then I ran that into the IN line on my Aux trans cooler. (no guessing)

Exactly. $150 in parts vs BIG bucks. What am I supposed to do? I would think he will go over it with a fine tooth comb this time.

Agreed on the trans lines. I questioned him on that quite a bit in the past and today. Still, I'm abandoning the bi-pass, and will be monitoring temps with my new guage that is ready to install.

Just talked to trans guy. He already removed it, so I won't be able to look at how it was installed.

[tbone]

Also, he took apart my old pump in front of me and it was in perfect condition. So in it goes.

I hate to lose my torque converter power. It was a hard decision. :bigcry: It's in perfect condition if anyone wants to buy it. Or maybe I'll save it for when I supercharge.

I'm worried about the heat it causes. I shouldn't have to with the huge cooler I'm running, but with all these issues I'm having, I want to eliminate any possible contributing factors. I've also never really been enthralled with the slipping feeling under normal driving conditions, and the gas mileage does suffer a bit. Mileage is not really a concern to me much though.

When did I ever say this guy was cheap?

The trans seems ok now other than the OD band is not set up properly. It should be a straightforward fix.

I think the root of all the problems is that he installed the thermal bi-pass incorrectly from day one. I even questioned him on it and looked at the routing. I did not have the routing instructions and thought he knew what he was doing........:shake: My bad I guess.

The wife is wondering why I'm so crabby. Seriously? WTF?

This will be the fourth rebuild. Rebuild 3 lasted 5 f***ing miles. I think when it overheated from an incorrect thermal bi-pass install on the first and second rebuild, it weakened the stub shaft, which was already replaced on rebuild number 2. If this rebuild fails, I will buy a Monster racing trans, have someone else install it, and take him to court to get my money back.

If the transmission got hot enough to weaken this shaft you'd have melted a bunch of other stuff first!!!:eek:

One more question, what tune is in your car? Just curious as to when lock up is coming on...I seem to remember something about not wanting lock up on at the wrong time due to breaking stub shafts...

[tbone]

Lock up is not the issue. I don't think it was heat anymore either. The second stub shaft snapped clean, while the first one twisted and deformed. I ordered a hardened one.

Trans does not shift into overdrive until 43 mph and lock up shortly after. I can feel it happening so I know it was working properly.

[tbone]

The one that sheared off has a groove machined into it right where it snapped. The deformed one does not have the groove. I think the groove weakened it like scoring glass.

If you paid him with a credit card call the CC company and file a dispute.
Your documentation will keep your money in your account and you can take the care somewhere else.

From your experiences I wouldn't let this guy check my oil, let alone fix something....

My understanding on the stub shafts is that they break on a WOT shift with OD on.

[tbone]

I'm not insane, just don't have $1500 to start all over with a new guy.

I ALWAYS turn OD off when playing. Not the issue. The stub shaft isn't exactly his fault either. The hardened one will fix that issue. I just hope it doesn't bust stuff down the line..........

Having destroyed 2 of them made the decision easier though.

Like I said, I understand the $$ issue but for me I could not handle the stress of my car breaking again. I would loose it on the guy. He's the expert, you paid him, he built the trans without mandating that you get a hardened shaft...(I said hardened shaft) He should be paying for this repair and the towing (if there was any)

This here is the problem I have faced too many times on too many things in life. I will no longer supply parts for anything (well okay, I did for my heads.guilty...) there is too many many chances for the blame game. I normally tell them what I would like to use and let them get it, or quite simply say "your the pro, this is my goal, make it happen" boom, no room for B.S.

Because he took the job of installing your parts, he is now (at minimum) a third wheel.

That last shaft was CLEARLY a manufacturing defect and should be taken up with that party. If it was him that ordered it, then he should handle it. If not, more headaches for you, and real estate taken up on his bench and lift. Sucks no matter how it goes down..

So he supplied it then? That's good at least. But the supplier seems to be the one at fault.

At this point tell him to level with you and ask what is really needed to make this not only work, but to withstand a beating. You don't need to do it, but at least get an idea of where it stands.

Is there anything in the kit that is worth installing?The article was written some years ago (not sure when...possibly in the late '90s), and perhaps TransGo has changed their kit, but in reality the J-mod is essentially free, and it's endorsed by one of the transmission's designers. Is there really any reason to use a third-party kit?

[RacerX]

You have upgraded parts of that tranny including additional friction clutches I believe. Doing that and having a tune with high line pressure and quick shifts will take out that older stub shaft. Either upgrade your stubby and/or drop some line pressure. Do you have the Kevlar or carbon OD band?

The trans is running at just over 150 degrees. Normal is around 180. Is 150 hot enough for efficient operation, or should I install a bi-pass again? I threw the old one in the trash.

[RacerX]

Is that 150 just cruising? Put that TC to some real use and what does it hit? 150 is fine btw.


Btw, 100 to 180. 170 optimal.

[03sport007]

For reference running my trans straight through a 24000 btu cooler no mater what I did I couldn't get the trans temp above 150. For giggles I installed a thermal bypass and now the temp never goes above 184. It's hard to explain but I think the trans feels better at the hotter temp?
