Just wanted to give a little update on this project. The trans will not be covered under warranty so I decided to go ahead and rebuild it myself. I got everything apart and the directs were definitely smoked.
Also found that the input shaft had been pushed back and wore into the inner...
How well does that upgraded solenoid work with aftermarket clutch packs? I had the HD kit from elite in this last time and will probably go with the same or maybe their comp kit this time.
That's what I figured. It was just rebuilt a little over a year ago though and doesn't have that many miles on it. I'll try change out those solenoids and put new fluid in it. Hope for the best I guess. Was hoping to pull with it this weekend but that's not looking good.
So we just put the engine in this past weekend and took the truck out for a test drive. First mile or two went fine then it revved like it missed at gear shifting up and now it's been acting up ever since. Reverse has a long delay before it shifts into gear and it doesn't always let you shift...
RCD also has 2 options for the 59 with either a 7 blade wheel or 11 blade. I believe the 11 blade is designed for people that will see higher rpms and pressures. More of a top end unit
