Last time I posted we were rebuilding the engine in our 99 eclipse. Put 1000 mild miles (no turbo spool-ups) on motor then started adding higher rpms (4500) and allowing turbo to spool. Even at that rpm was amazing difference on a fresh motor. However the tranny didn't agree. On the 4th pull to 4500rpm, it blew. Barely had enough power to get back home and called friends to push it into the driveway. We did a full master rebuild with Raybestus packs and threw in a shift kit for fun. Ever since then we have been plagued with no 3rd and reverse gears. The trans is a f4a33 and is currently out of the car for the third time. There has been a few nicked seals and a bad selinoid the second time it was pulled, but nothing and I mean nothing physically wrong with the tranny the third time. We have pulled codes but all that shows up is for the catalytic converter (cause it's not there anymore). Has anyone experienced this? If there was a problem in the tcm it would surely show up on a scan tool right? Any help is appreciated, trannys are not my favorite creatures to play with. Too many teeth.
