If you have to pull it...bring it out this way. It'll give you a chance to hook up with Sam and me...heck, I'll spring for a barbeque at my place...

I went home at lunch and started thinking about trying to pull the motor and tranny myself. The motor is fine but I might as well do a little detailing while it's out. You may see me sooner than later...crank up the barbie!

this may be a good lead. I noticed the ccar didnt have it's original tranny pan...it looks deeper than stock and it's finned.

It's indeed a long shot, but I learned the hard way...just wish I'd learned *before* driving all the way to Norwalk!

Jeff- you may wish to call my friend and bounce your symptoms off of him over the phone. Rick @ 480.987-3756. Tell him his neighbor, Sam, sent you.

Jeff, I have spoken to Sam's buffy from GM...he knows his stuff. As for the deep pan...it won't impact performance provided the additional fluid it needs has been added. You may also want to check the governor to make sure there is no damage to the plastic gear. That tranny should shift at approx. 6100-6300 rpm under full throttle...both 1-2 and 2-3. The modualtor won't affect what you are describing. When I service my hi-perf trannys we use a flushing machine that my local tranny guy has...it really works to get any debris or metal filings out of the system. A reputable trany guy can pull that unit out with the motor in the car and solve your issues...it takes quite a bit to hurt these hi-perf TH400's.

good luck..wilma

Either way, tranny or not...come on out. I'll get the 'cue going...

I just pulled the tranny and semi-steamed off a mojority of the gunk. If anyone is interested, I can take a few pix.
- the 6 lug conv had the E7 on it
- a few darker big C's ink stamped
- I found 1 stamped letter J
- the outer case had a CX ink stamped on the passenger side 2 o clock position.

I couldnt find a VIN stamped anywhere. let me know if anyone needs to see pix of what I found. I can take them tonight.

[mockingbird812]

Take 'em then post 'em!
