When's the next MMCI meeting?

well i picked friday the 13th as get some stuff done day.....we bled the brakes, adjusted the shifter, put the hood on, added gas, fired up the engine, 1500 rpm for 12-14 minutes per the builder instructions to break in the cam. engine got to 180,thermostat opened,idled it down, shifted trans into reverse, ok, got reverse, then to "N", ok, into 1st, nothing, 2nd, nothing, 3rd, nothing, no foward gears....full of fluid, have to pull pan, pull valve body and air check some bands and servos...

OK red fluid everywhere...upside down mess...internal s exposed...

anybody else mystified by the internal workings of a automatic transmission?LOL i read the ATSG manual,looked online at a guy posting the rebuilding of a 904, next time i leave it to the "experts"

no i did not rebuild this....i had a local trans builder "bench' it...it had reverse but no foward gears.

ok update....a trans guy came by and performed the 4 air checks,all servos&bands are applying....time to call Turbo Action and see if they have ever had that problem before with the RMVB....

LOL PAUL FORTE from Turbo Action called me back today, he does not know why i would not have foward gears...said to return the valve body to him and they would inspect it, repair it and send it back.I have a spare used one built in 1992 i am going to install tuesday and see if that one works, if not then i guess its pull trans time.

I went saturday and bought a used 904 trans ,stock,from a 1970 318 Duster...I allready have a new Mancini HP rebuild kit, so I think i will take that trans and have it rebuilt.

Dropped of 904 core&rebuild kit with Jim from Jims Performance(KY),he is a tuner/engine/trans/diff builder who has helped me out in the past.I am pulling the first 904 out and when he brings the #2 rebuild back I will swap them and give him #1 to dissasemble/diagnosis/rebuild. then i will have 1 new one in the car&a new one for a spare for 2014,

todays carnage....trans removal...time to start over...

big gaping hole

never got to "flash"

10/23 Lee Kapusta tears down my A904 and finds a suprise!sun gear od much smaller than the ID of the 4 gear planet.oops.....
