Tomorrow, I am going to pull the valve body out and thoroughly check it out to see if it is the cuprit. I am going to replace the upper and lower gaskets, too. Anything else I need to be aware of?
Just be sure not to flip it over when you take off the plate to raplce the gaskets. The are about 7 check balls. But if yu have the ATSG rebuild manual, it has a diagram of where the check balls go..
I am just pulling it to see if it is the culprit. The tranny won't shift out of second. I have adjusted the TV cable using the direction in the Ford Factory Service Manual. I bought the car off of ebay and am in the process of filing a complaint, and trying to get a partial reimbursment because the vehicle was supposed to have a tranny and motor that ran good. I will definitely keep the VB off in mind. How long was the car ran with it in? Changed the filter 2 days ago along with gaskets. I have both upper and lower VB gaskets and a ton of tranny fluid waiting
Wait Mercon V?? Got some progrees today. I shifted into third very brielfy and then jumped back down to second. I think the VB may be a little loose(I think my in/lb torque wrench is messed up. GRRR) It was late and the fluid was hot so I will drop it down tomorrow. One of the pins was broake and making one of the 2-3 valves stick.
