My trannie died a coulpe of weeks ago 250 miles from home. I almost had it repaired there, but one of my co-workers (who was coming to the job site anyway with his F250 PowerStoke) volunteered to borrow a car trailer and tow it back for me. Man, am I glad I didn't leave it with those "mechanics", the shop looked more like a junk yard than a repair facility.

First gear and reverse are gone. I dropped the pan today, hoping that it was just a stuck plunger or broken spring in the valve body. I installed the Transgo kit back in February, so I was hoping it was someting there. NO SUCH LUCK! There are metal pieces in the pan; definately something major.

Since a remanufactored A/T is $2600 and a Level Ten is $3264 (both + $200 freight) and since I would also need a new torque converter at ~$600, it looks like I will be making the 5-speed conversion.

Wish me luck!

 

Good luck, tell me how the ABS work around goes.

 

Yea. Good luck.

 

Wana buy a used 5spd?

Keith, I'm back home now. Give me a call later.

 

Hey if he doesn't take it I might be interested...just gimme a holla anytime.

 

Hi Matt,
I am definately interested in that 5-speed! Do you know of any junckyards in the area where I can get the rest of the stuff I need? I'll give you a call tonight.
