well i hate to tell ya more than likely your trans is by by...althought it could be your servose!! sorry man!

 

say goodbye to your 3-4 clutch pack

thats typical 3-4 clutch pack failure


FYI the servo controls the 2-4 band

 

So now im going to have to change the transmission? and could i pick one up from the junk yard?

 

Yep, as long as you find a good V6 tranny then you shold be fine.

 

Well guys the cars up for sale..I just cant take it anymore im getting somthign thats newer and thats turbo..some kind of 4 cylender..so i get pritty good gasmilage..dont car to here your flames about 4 cylenders but if you wana buy my car im salen it for 1,500 bucks obo... runs great interior great no dents in whole car..just needs transmission. if you wana buy it my email throop13@aol.com im me ot email me..thxs

Sweet!! Take some pictures!! Let us know how it goes!!

 

(cough)stage 3 shift kit(cough) Sorry about that....this cold's been going around.....

 

Well, I dont know if i can take pics because i dont have a digital camra and my scanners broke..but ill keep you guy informed on how hard it is..has anybody ever done it before?

 

3 days, I went a year and a half without driving my 85 while I was completely rebuilding her

Take regular pic's and take them to a photo deleveloper and have them put the pics on a cd.

 

I'll try..to get pics..but dont be mad if i cant..

 

FYI, 4 cylender Turbocharged cars still get shamefull gasmilage for a four banger. I know, I have one. 1988 Sunbird GT Turbo. 20mpg City. Once you even put the pedal down so you get some boost produced, the ECM has to add lots of fuel. You have to run premium octane too. Unless you want your piston melted from detonation.
I know u arn't getting one anymore. BTW, you think your firebird is bad for fixing? HA! 2.8's are so ****ing easy to work on it's not funny. New cars = compact = A BITCH to fix.

 

I know boosted 4s take some gas but nothign compared to an 8 an they run pritty good tiems 1/4 miles..I am not goign to lie i like **** to..as well as muscle..I'm not haten on nothing..but i'm wanting a 4 because im a 16 year old boy with a sad job and gas is expensive..my brother has a 1992 Plymouth Laser 20g turbo allwheeldriver running mid 12s..i like it..its a neat car and im wanting to build one now..dont hate..but it will be over a year till i start on my project: wussy 4.

 

No prob if you can't; but it'd be cool as hell to see a 700r4 rebuild as it was being done. Good luck!

Hey could you get a parts & price list up for us when you're done? Like the name & model of the rebuild kit, etc?

 

yea..I just got my rebuild kit today..im geting up in the morning and starten nice and early work till dark or later wanting to get transmissoin out clean and rebuilt tomorrow and put it back in suday..hopping...lol..sounds like a date to me lol..

adam

 

i've got tons of books that show step by step how to build various trannies

i wont post the pics though because i dont want to infringe any copyrights

 

Well its the first day we started on getting my trans out and rebuilding it we started about 12 and got done around 5 today..because race came on..we got transmission out thast about it..takes alot of work..first we took drive shafter off. then we just loosend some bolts and ect. from trans then took trans off engein took alot of work to get trans undone from engine because there is 6 bolts and you ahve to telt the engin to get to the top to bolts but it was hard and alot of work but still got to rebuild transmission and put it back into tomorrow..i think we can get it done!!

and by the way does anybody have any basic layouts of the transmission like a picture with all the parts inside tellen what they are ect?? if so email me at throop13@aol.com i really need that..!!
