i pulled th pan off my tranny to fix th gasket leak and was murderd by th ashcan smell...there was no shavings butt there was a thin lair of sludge...tranny doesnt shift to 2nd unless i mash th pedal to high rpm...any1 hav an idea what myte b goin on with my 700r4?

 

Probably cause your fluid is burnt and your tv cable is out off wack.

 

Yep, and honestly, it's probably on it's way out by now.

 

so wat wud u guys recomend?
can it? or b&m rebuild kit...its an everyday driver so i jus want a moderate rebuild to get it bak on th asphalt...would it b worth th trbl? or shud i jus pik up a fresh tranny?

 

Either way you probably need a new tranny down the road. Either rebuild the one you have or buy one already rebuilt.

 

Agreed, it already has problems, flushing fluid/installing shift kits are not going to fix it.

 

so how many bones wud a decent/stock 700r4 run me?
and how long u think this one myte have on its clock b4 it ***** on me? my lady says i drive like a grandpa so i dnt plan on pushin it till it runs ryte...
and thanx 4 all th input, i hold it in high regards...especially win talkin to th ppl tht drive th similar ride...

 

o and by th way, iz only got 53k miles on it...idk if it myte have any influence on th matter...jus thot i throw that out there...
do sum places giv u $ bak for th core?

 

I believe they usually have a core charge on them. I honestly couldn't tell you for sure because I've never had one replaced before. But, what are you going to do with a transmission that doesn't work?

 

If you cant pull the tranny take it to a place and have it fixed and put it back in by yourself then a transmission shop will charge you any were from $1200 to $2000. If you can pull the tranny and bring it some where you would probably spend $700 - $1000 depending on what you put back in the transmission.

 

I also had this problem in Singapore a long time ago.....

 

i`d probably jus pull th tranny myself...i dnt c th point in payin extra $ 4 sumthin i can do...
the only q i have is: to take the yoke out of th trans do i unstrap th u-bolts from th rear end to th drive shaft first or jus unbolt th tranny and jus pull th yoke out, leavin th drive shaft still connected to th rear?

 

Just because the fluid is burnt does not mean a transmission is shot, change the fluid and filter, replace the tv cable and governor. It very well could be ok. I do this to alot of high mile 700r4's and bring them back to life. If the fix works I would recomend changing the fluid one more time within a month, to help flush out more of the old fluid. If the fix does not work you'll have a new governor and tv cable for the new trans. It is amazing how quickly people condemn things around here w/o giving any other options a chance.....

 

There's no way to tell, people always flush them hpoing for the best, after there's a problem, sometimes it works, sometimes you waste 40 bucks...

Sometimes they last another 50 k, slipping and everything, sometimes 50 miles.

I would personally just prepare for the worst, if you just love the car and want to keep it for awhile. Of course if times are tight and it's the only thing you have to drive, try flushing, just don't expect alot.

As far as price, expect to pay 200-500 for an already pulled used unit, 400 to 700 for local shop with you doing the labor, 600-1100 for them doing the labor, or there's a host of online companies offering rebuilds from 800, to over 2k depending on what you need/want from it.

If I ever hear back from the admin, I'll become a vendor myself

 

Don't mean to go off topic but jenson73110 what kind of rims are those on your bird those r so sick? And where did u get them?

 

a new tv cable and governer doesnt sound like a bad stab at this thing...i already flushed and put a new filter...$ is tyte ryte now (not in a good way) so if i kud get it to last me a cpl weex till i get th $ to get it rebuilt ryte wud b ff(f*n fantastik)...work`s 5 miles and school is 10, so im not traveling too much...
only thing that concerns me is that it still leaks from th pan even after i changed th gasket...shud i try using sum sealant?

 

win u ask if i do th work r u refering to myself pullin and re-installin th tranny? or myself purchasin a rebulid kit and installin THAT?
ive done tranny swaps b4 butt ive never opened one up...if ur referin to re-installin th rebuild kit wats th difficulty level on that?

 

your hanging out at the wrong bars...
