This is going to be long to try and provide most of the info. Tons of work done to car recently:
-IPT reworked valvebody, included filter and gasket
-IPT end clutch kit
-Castrol ATF+4
-New throttle body gaskets, shaft seals, o-ring for BISS
-JMF ext wastegate o2 housing, o2 dump
-Tial MVS w/ coolant circulation
-New Bosch o2 sensor for the LC-2 straight from innovate.
-Autometer Trans temp sensor
-B&M #70298 Transmission cooler w/ fan
Pulled valve body off blown tranny I had sitting outside. No idea what went wrong with that one. Beat the shit out of it for a year? on 5-12 psi from EVO 16G. Was coasting to a stop sign one day, went to pull away and she just revved. That was it. Just assumed I cooked it and she had enough. Again, pulled valvebody and sent it to John. Figured he’d let me know if it was bad.
New(er) Transmission is/was used out of a convertible. Worked fine until this. Ran for couple thousand miles? Pulled pan and found the magnets pretty gunked (will post pics) and some powder residue in fluid. Filter on tranny had obviously been changed before because there was an aftermarket unit installed.
Anyway, install went fine on end clutch. Valve body wiring seemed to get in way / not wanna go through hole, but I got it by referencing manual and using my noodle.
Car fired right up. (Runs even better than before) Went to put it in park (started the car in neutral) and fricken car won’t even go in park. It’s like something’s blocking the shifter from going in park. I can force it but it won’t put the tranny in the park gear unless I really force it. I did NOT touch the linkage. Left it completely alone during the whole time car was getting worked on.
I noticed there was a spring / some linkage in bottom of transmission too? So def possible wires coulda got caught or ARE getting caught? Or maybe I messed that up? Only replaced valvebody though...
I shifted through all gears and didn’t get anything. Even AFTER going through a THOROUGH warm up / heat soak. (Did not reference trans temp though as I have yet to mount on dash and ground it). I pulled 5 quarts from drain pan during valve body replacement (and probably accidentally dumped half a quart or more on ground). So I filled it back up with 6 quarts once pan was back on. So should be enough in there to move car, without doubt. Also revved to about 3.5-4.0k in an attempt to move car. No bueno.
I quit for today / couple days. Next move is to start diagnosing tranny. Gonna pull line to see if I have circulation. Then I guess maybe test electronics, or pull pan to see if I see anything out of ordinary? Really at a loss here. Really interested in what some of you maybe have to say.
All I want to do is drive the car. Lol.
