ok,
so i pull down my 700r4 last night. i ended up snapping the cable on the right side. Detent cable? It's the one that goes to the throttle body.

anyways, i guess checker has it for $20. So then after i get the tranny out, i look at my new tranny and see that it doesn't have the same tailshaft. Its missing the holes where the torque convertor bolts in!! So i unbolt the old tailshaft and when i pull the little ring for the electro speedo off the shaft, snap, it cracks.

!!!!

ok so then i look on the "new" tranny, inside the tail end of it, and i see a hole bunch of little cracks all across the top inside of it!! Should i be worried?

I'm so tired of every project taking a week or 2 longer than it should be. today's sunday, and there are no tranny shops open.


jus can't get this damn thing fixed.

 

most trannys have those little crack looking spider webs, mold flaws...if you aint seeing daylight dont worry its normal

 

hey thanx alot. had me alittle worried. now the cable i broke, is it the detent cable? or the tv cable?

or is that the same thing?

 

Yes and Yes; TV cable and detent cable are the same thing, just 2 different names.

 

more problems....

ok, so i get the new TV cable ($44 bucks at GM dealer), bolt everything back up, and find my shifter cable all frayed. i guess when i was pulling it out, it got caught up on the tranny and messed it up. so i guess i am gunna have to wait till friday, cause i don't have $53 more to spend. i don't even have money for FOOD!!! damn this car.

can't wait till payday.

ps.
the tranny dipstick tube took me about an hour an a half to get in.
