Bobby the guy my dad used to rebuild the trans proved himself on 4 different cars that he don't know what the heck he's doing. He did my blazer twice. My parents explorer twice and on and on.

We just realized after my blazer died that he sucks. So I took a chance on this trans.

I know how to set up a tv cable. But when I get the new trans in, I'll bring it to my new guy and have him set the cable.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.

Ben. 4:10s would be insanely retarded to hook up. I spin em through 3rd with a 3:45.

Plus d&d will sell me a 3:45 8.8 out of a ranger for 200 out the door bench checked and all.

all the transmissions built on the same day?



figure out the failure means just that. with the timeframe given its typical for a tv cable related failure. i am not saying that is what happened, just likely.

based on my build experience with auto's i find it essential to identify fail cause.

Again, make sure what you're getting. A 3.45 is the 7.5" gear, maybe they meant the 3.55 which would be the 8.8

It was probably a 3:55, I wasn't thinking too good when I wrote that.

And Bobby, when I dropped the pan to change the filter, there was a lot of clutch material in the pan, but with it being rebuilt, I just figured it would be ok.

And, I had a good mechanic check the cable. I had it set right.

Plus, I didn't drive it enough for that to be the problem.

And no, he didn't build all the trannys on the same day. Bu every transmission he has done for me or other people I know, has went after 10,000 miles. Just past his warranty.

So we don't use him anymore.

But anyway, I'm gonna put another trans in, have my new trans guy set up the cable. And well be set

Bobby, when i dropped the pan to to a fluid and filter flush, there was a lot of clutch material in the pan, an

Now you got it.

I'm hooked up with a guy who builds racing transmissions for my tow truck driver and he stands behind everything he does.

Bobby, would you recommend any other trans that would be better? I love my overdrive so I think this is all there is.

The trans I'm getting it out of a 92 s10 so it's the stronger cable type 700's from what I've read


If he builds racing trannys that hold up well, I think he's good nuff for a street trans.

You need to be more specific so we can help you:

metal around the magnet....was it enuff to clog your paint gun or would it make a good fine metal-flake?


was the water drinkable...or was it jus good to bathe in ?


did it smell burnt like Loo-z-anna brown gravy...orstinkey-bad like chicken-grease at a cheap fried chicken stand ?
