Hello, guys! Long time no talk! I've unfortunately been real busy with school which I can say I am finally done with and have now began my career as a full time firefighter for a county department! Good to see you all again!
So my 1965 C-10 loves transmissions, I guess. I'm on my third one, this one a custom built TH350 that was supposed to be warrantied for a lifetime, as I shelled out $600 for this luxury at the local AAMCO place....
PROBLEM is, the shop sold their AAMCO franchise and are no longer honoring the lifetime warranty they sold me three years ago.
Recently my tranny stopped going into second gear, going simply from first to third. The diagnosis is a broken sprag... a $50 part, but a $650-in-labor fix.
Seeing as how this is the third transmission by the third shop (two 700R4s previously burned up by faulty mounting) and seeing as how this one made it a mere 6000 miles before its inner workings became FUBAR, I figured, what the hell, I might as well give her a shot myself. I can't do any worse!!
My question is have any of you ever dove into a transmission or know where I can find info on the subject. My cousin and his buddy both went to WyoTech, so I am going to get their assistance as they have both rebuilt transmissions. Any other advise is GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks guys!
