Well after pulling the Tranny and tearing it down it turned out the planetaries were ok...a little wear but not enough to cause the problem I've been having. Gonna take some good advice from Old Guy (Dave) and just replace everything that shows any wear, put a new shift kit in and a stall converter. But with all that done it still leaves me with my original problem. ( The slipping in first and reverse at idle speed and the noise) This is looking more and more like it's gonna be one of those stupid little somethings that makes you wanna kick yourself when you find it. Another TnT night goes by the boards:confused:
trans ??? You might want to get a pressure reading first. Could be a worn valve body bleeding off pressure.
