Would you trust yourself to do a tranny swap? I've still got some time to talk myself into it... I'm just looking at the quickest route to driving again, and I know at most I'll need $2300 for it.
it would help if you got a couple friends too.... and beer. Nitewolf you need to post that in the Tech Info dude.
Thanks for the info Mike, you've pretty much got me convinced to do it myself I'm getting ready to order the pan and gauges right now, waiting till tuesday to see if I get Tabby's truck or not. What color gauges should I get? Green, Blue, Red, or Amber? Also, what other gauge should I get with the trans temp? A voltmeter or coolant temp?
Also stuck on which gauge pod to get. I was planning on an A-pillar gauge, but can't find one that will fit any 98+ F150s. So I'm going to do a 2 gauge and put it in the tray on the dash, or get a 3 gauge and mount above the rearview mirror
It sounds like your torque convertor has failed or your pump pressure is too low to operate it. That can be caused by a number of things, such as: a stuck drain-back valve; an internal fluid leak - loose pump bolts or leaking o-rings; or a failed pump. If it were an electrical problem, it would have logged DTC codes. I wish you the best of luck. I would not hesitate to R&R a tranny, but I've overhauled one before. I think you will do fine. Let me know if you have any questions. Make sure you get yourself a tranny jack - don't try to man-handle it; yes, I've done that too. lol
The shop said it was completely toasted and the only fix was a new trans. I'll take pics when I drop the pan at home. Which pods? THe dash?
