WTF valve body?

jaswright2003 · 08-29-2008, 07:49 PM

I had to take the valve body out of the "built transmission" I bought, and change the wiring. Why would they only put 8 bolts back in instead of 10 to hold the valve body in place? Do I need to take the other 2 out of my stock one?

Put them all back in! You'll get leakage otherwise!

Thats what i thought. You pay $6500+ for a billet transmission and they forget to put some bolts back in it. I sure hope there are billet shafts in there.

I got it back going Saturday morning everything was fine. Saturday-Wednesday no problem. I go out today to go to work start my truck and go back inside, 5-10 minutes later I come get in put it in reverse nothing. After playing with it for a little bit I decide to cut the truck off and try to start in while in gear. It does not start in R, D, 2, 1, and only starts in P and N like it should. I start it back up put it in reverse (you can feel it catch just a little) nothing. If I give it a lot of throttle (2500+rpm) it will start to move. Any idea's?

You didn't get up with them today?? The way you're decribing is exactly the problems I had on a tranny not that long ago that had an issue with the front drum piston.

I called at least 10 times today, every time it was busy, I emailed them a little bit ago. I guess I should have got you to build me one

If it's messed up he'll call me and I'll probably have to fix it instead of sending it back. I'm pretty sure it's simple. Hollar if you need me.
