Time for new parts for the TH-400

Found a torn seal in the direct drum.. Was told that would explain the transbrake issues. Also would cause the clutches to fry.

Sounds like you have a clutch pack melted together.:icon_scratch:

Don't need it, I found my 18 lb'r. Got it apart again, only thing that is hurt is the reverse band clutch. For some reason it isn't applying hard enough.

I guess I didn't mention but I still had T-brake issues after re-build. I took it out Monday night with 20+ lbs. for 20 minutes. 1-2-3 are all good. Beat on the t-brake and some fast backing up, finally got both to fail, no reverse or transbrake.

ha, well atleast you know what is going on now

Tranny back in Friday night. Cruised around Saturday for a couple hours. Seems to work good. The T-brake works good too.

Now the bad news again, was playing with the 2-step (just wired it up) and started playing around with it. Anything under 3500 rpm's car sounds like it wants to fall apart. Tried 4000 4500 5000. 5000 rpm's boost was climbing then I blew the cooler line off. Rolling white smoke enough to fill the shop. Tonight I pulled the front clip, bumper support, headlight assy. and intercooler to replace all lines to cooler...

This is wayyyyy tooo much fun..................

ps. don't use pushlock hose for tranny lines with a brake, they don't like a lot of heat apparently. Teflon line braided next..

Having a 1400 hp car sounds like fun, lol!
