When you run into an issue like this as we get older it takes the fun right out of the sport. Working on the floor by yourself is even harder yet. I updated to an ATI case for my powerglide and started building my own transmissions and that fixed mine. You made the right decision and now can get back to enjoying the sport instead of looking at the bottom of your car. I hope all goes well for you in 2018. Have FUN.

I do hate something that completely whips my azz. LOL But sometimes you really have to throw up the white flag. That transmission was haunted. LOL Merry Christmas everybody !!!

Find yourself a known good case and transfer all the internals - at your leisure. If it fixes it then you know the case is an issue. If it doesn't then something internal that you brought from the infected unit.


If it doesn't fix it - and If you have any desire to find out what's going on -
Take a known good pump, front and rear clutch assembly and install in this case.


And so on.

That's what I finally did with my 727 that would back out of the shop in neutral. It was out three times and had three local transmission guys look at it, no one found anything. As a last resort I put everything in a different case, problem solved. I'm lucky this way.

Would you like to have a spare trans.? If so send that one in to a good shop, maybe CRT,ATI or your best choice, and have them go through yours and make sure they know what problems it has now work
Good luck thumbs

I pulled the known good parts out of the transmission and sold them to a transmission guy in Il . He got the parts in and said it should have worked ?
I still have the case and a few parts but I was glad to see that darn thing go away.
Side note , I know my converter is good now. Almost 500.00 later to get checked out new bearings installed and welded back together.

I don't think I've ever let anything whip me. I've had transmissions that would burn up a clutch pack out of the blue for seemingly no reason, engines that refused to have issues corrected, even after having "experts" do their magic, brakes that refused to work, you name it. If it turned out to be unfixable, a casting flaw, a design mistake, a machining error, I may have had to scrap something, but I knew why. PITA and frustrating at times? Yes, but I couldn't let it beat me and I always learned something, sometimes many things in the process. It's never wasted effort. Knowing what doesn't work is sometimes more important than knowing what does.

I would have liked to get my hands in that transmission.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I agree. Had a 904 that burned up the kick down band & rear clutch twice. Got rid of the turboaction v/b & bought a transact v/b. Trans worked flawlessly for yrs.

I agree 100% , I never let crap kick my butt , this one dove too darn deep in my wallet to continue though. I spent a ton of money on it and a lot of labor and still nothing. It still eats at me not knowing but my car moves again. Yea !!!!

It took me 5-6 tries to get to the bottom of my powerglide issues this year and a professional builder spotted the issue being the case. Tired a new case and it cracked on its 7th pass in a spot that they are known to crack. I updated to an ATI case and all is well. Like I said before as you age it gets harder. Harder to get something done and harder for it to beat you. It’s one thing to pull a transmission by yourself on a lift and another if you are working on the ground. In my eyes you did the right thing and can now move on. For some of us our track days are dwindling away so we gotta make hay while the sun shines.

The wife and I were just talking about that a while ago. Time waits for no man.

had the same issues with a 904 with a TA transbrake VB,,,untill I talked to Rick Allison from A@A and he sold me a new line pressure regulator spring and gave me the length dimention to install it at and all my troubles went away, and the TA worked perfect from that day on.

I know this is not the place to ask but my buddy that sold me the CRT Transmission also included the 9.5"PTC Converter that only has about 3 hours of time on it. Not Sure of stall though. What should I ask for it to help recoop some of my money ?
