I'm gonna miss 54mph in 1st gear. It's won me a lot of races. Lol.
Pretty sure the 5-speed turbo combo will be way more fun though.

Decided on just getting my trans redone again.

How's FWD's street TC? anyone know?

Can't seem to find a 5 speed anywhere around here, so I'll just do it all over again. Yay

I'm not looking forward to the bill on it. I coulda got a whole parts car way cheaper, but she insisted on leavin the auto cause we don't need another car sittin around.

Trans was redone. TC was fried along with the low/reverse bands. So I now have a 2500 stall, a modded valve body, and upgraded clutches.
Unfortunately, this guys gotta have something wrong.


I have no reverse when its cold, If I stand on it to pull out somewhere I can feel the stall grab, then nothing happens for a couple seconds, then it finally takes off.

Warranty issue. Take it back right away. Every day you put it off gives him more time to come up with excuses to get out of honoring his warranty.

hmm thats what mine does when it gets low on trans fluid, when the car sits for a month or to, or if its really cold. it will pop out of gear, sometimes its when im in first and sometimes its when im in reverse. it will occasionally do it when it shifts from first to second but thats if its cold, my fluid is low , and i hop in the car and take off right away. but like i said all this is only when the car is low on trans fluid.


but i agree that it should be taken back.

Low fluid was my first thought, but it was perfectly full.
I talked with another trans shop by me, the owner thinks the other guy has the valve body messed up. Unfortunately the guy doesn't warranty built trannies so I'm S.O.L. on him fixing it.
Probably going to end up taking it to the other shop as they will build it and put a 2yr/24k mi warranty with it.

[spiritman]

he should warranty it for the first week or two! its not like your puuting 500hp through it. what kinda tranny shop is he! or get the other guy to fix it and send him the bill. this is why im so fed up with our cars and auto trannies. as for the wife and no more projects. sounds like its time for a new wife :)

I got it working for now, hopefully take it to the other guy when we get our taxes back.

the later Neon lock up converter uses a needle bearing HD stator setup vs the old bushing type in the early converter. Also the PT converter with higher stall works, and it will feel like hitting 4th gear when it engages as the stall speed allows more slip for launching.

My stall convertor is excellent. Im just having issues with reverse engaging now that its cold.

I managed to get it working by boosting the line pressure a bit and turning down the low/reverse. I think it'll get me through til we get our taxes back. I'd still prefer to get the stick and be done with the auto all together but I don't see that happening.
