I did have and used a pressure gauge and it did not indicate any leaks all the pressures were with in specs listed in the ATSG manual. After installing the rebuilt accumulator valve body I must have added too much oil back in to the system. I really do not know how much oil it takes since I'm...

I flushed the lines before but not after the rebuild. The re-manufactured valve body had new valves and they seemed to fit and move appropriately. Would the damaged lip seal allow normal shifting and then leak causing issues? I am just confused as to why everything would work after cleaning...

Here we go again..... No I did not notice any side to side but I wasn't looking for it either would it have been noticeable? The only thing I noticed is one of the springs was elongated which I may have done during the install, it got pinched in the clip. No I had not come across that...

Ok so finally finished. The transmission appears to be functioning correctly. No more delayed shifts. I finally just replaced the accumulator valve body. When I removed it 2 of the valves did not seem to have any tension on them at all. I cleaned all the valves again and put everything...

I torqued them to 90 inch pounds using an inch pound wrench. I had read that they are very finicky so I checked and rechecked them to be sure they were all tight. I also checked for square and all was good. I have pulled the valve bodies off and found 2 of the valves were not under tension...

I'll have to add up the numbers for my rebuild haven't added it all up yet. Tomorrow I plan to replace a valve and reinspect the valve bodies. I did my best to clean everything and took particular care to no over tighten the valve bodies. The only place I think I must have gone wrong is...

Just saw your post after posting. The truck is intermittently shifting very soft and started out as an intermittent delay in the 2-3 shift. It would sometimes shift when turning off the OD. Then it would shift normal until it had to do another 2-3 shift. Now it is also delay shifting 1-2. I...

Mark, I am incredibly grateful for all your assistance. Right now the truck is not shifting correctly and I am trying to figure out where the next step is. If I do not need to pull the trans then I don't want to. But will if it is needed. I am getting 1-2 Shift malfunction and 2-3 Shift...

Okay sorry for the delay I finally got some time. Yes the overdrive light was on when I was looking for the SS3. As for the TC locking, you are saying that it varies but should always be on if the pedal is pushed and a steady 60 mph speed. At this point I am thinking that it might be a seal...

Okay so I took it out to do some data logging and found that SS3 is not coming on at all. I checked all my connectors and no moisture was found in the solenoid connector. However I did find the shift lever connector did have some corrosion on the contacts in the wire side. Would this cause...

Thanks Mark I was thinking it might be the solenoid for sure. To add to my previous post I have already checked the valves and they all moved freely. except the line pressure valve I filed down the rough spot till it didn't catch anymore but am going to replace it soon. Fluid still looks and...

I made sure to torque it to spec. I was not having any problems with it shifting before the rebuild so I did not replace the solenoid pack. But I'm getting several codes related to possible electrical problems. Before I spend the money on a solenoid pack I want to be more sure that's the problem...

BS Hauler that is the truth. Even if it hurts. Fortunately it's only my pride. But I believe I now have an electrical issue i need to chase down. I just got an AE to pull codes and log some live data. Prelim looks like it's electrical or maybe ground related. I'm having issues with it shifting...

Thanks for your input. I got it working. I also feel a bit stupid but lesson learned. Not enough fluid. I don't have the lines running through the radiator so I subtracted for that and I have a cheap cooler on front that can't hold much more than 3 qt of fluid. I went to drain the pan and only...

I am 95 percent sure the TC was fully engaged. It clicked twice and sat slightly inside the housing. If it came unseated would it make any unusual sounds. When I started it it sounded normal no scraping or other noise. Tomorrow I plan to check the valve bodies. As for the bypass valve I cleaned...
