yeah, the redness on those parts mean they were overheating, least thats what i was told on last tranny i did. how bad was the slip and was it still shifting when you took it out??? pics of any worn parts would be cool. i feel like i'm staring into the sun though, try with no flash.

Why did you put them inline and not just as links? 30 1024x768 pictures inline is rather annoying when on an older computer, dialup, or a 'small' resolution (which used to be 1024x768, not sure what people mainly use now).
Did you cut the wiring harness to the solenoid pack?
Some nice heat scoring and wear on the drum in DSCN0018.

And yes the the clutch pack was scored big time but as for the inner clutes and such they all seem to be in great condition ill post more pics in a minute

I miss rebuilding automatics...some were just damn easy.
Be glad your trans at least drove...mine would go forward no matter what position the shifter was in, even tried to in park (parking pawl prevented that though, gladly).
It slipped so much because of the bad solenoids that it just plain wore the friction material off of the clutches, and essentially spot welded the clutches to the steels. I had to hook up a slide hammer to get the damn things apart, and to tear down the trans.
Gave the case and other random pieces to a friend so he could scrap them, still have the open diff and the TC laying around at my school down in TN.

6 months after that, that trans died. I swapped the VB over to a MY2000 trans I got from Dixit, which later died as a result of my bad solenoids (the pics above came from Dixit's trans). I then got a $300 junkyard trans that's been holding up just fine for the past...year, maybe.
Trans #4 FTL.

heres the funny thing Not one of my clutches or discs were burnt or discolored or de-formed
I have to wonder if it was maybe a bad solenoid or something else but it damn sure wasnnt the clutches, maybe a tourqe converter gone bad??

well sure enough i found the problem the first and second gear clutches arent burnt up pretty bad as for what reall causes this common prpoblem beyond normal wear and tear in AUTO maxima's who knows, maybe upgraded clutches in first through second will help eliminate that problem but as for 3rd and fourth there friction material is almost new like, 
this tranny has 120,000miles though so it is looking pretty damn good anyway heres some more pics to add to the collection

Good job on tearing up the Auto tranny, I always wanted to know how It looked like and how It operated. 120,000 miles on that tranny looks new or It barley has been broken In.
P.S I have a weird whinning noise and It's more like a whining noise off a SC but light. I hear the noise when I have the car In any gears forcept the Park. any clues. THANKS.

i was thinking of doin the tps b4 i do the trans, my tech said i should help but pointed out at 173,000 i'm probably due for a replacement. i found a 66,000 tranny for 650.00 and a shop to install for 500.00, i think that trans will probably hold up a long time. re-builds are a waste of money. never had any luck with them, always break down after a year.
