[Ramsey]

well ive been dormant for alittle wile because the truck has had another blown tranny and i just havent been able to get to it .so anyway i just got the tranny in tonight .i went basically a level 5 60.with advice and all my parts from chuck and vince at finishline tranny i built 1.heres the deal ,i am getting a flare up [lol] between gears.1-2 seems to be ok ,but after that it flares between gears,like revs.im not sure what it could be because i used everything top of the line and dont know what else it could be ,so im looking for suggestions.thanks ahead guys.

You know a 60e isn't made to push snow, especially with a huffer. Put an 80e in there!

[Ramsey]

well im having to do with what i have to right now.unfortunately.i bought all high quality **** and i think this is something small ,other than that the tranny is solid.its really only flaring between 2-3 ,its holding fine etc,but that 2-3 is flaring.i will be doing a 80 next time for sure i just didnt have time to deal with it,and im not lettng anyone around here do the conversion thats for sure.

When you say "flaring," are you talking about the RPMs pushing up between the shifts? Or does it feel like the line pressures are not up enough to where the bands aren't grabbing the way they are suppose to? What type of fluid did you put in there?

[Ramsey]

i used synthetic redline fluid.and yes the rpms are lifting between gears.its holding fine in every gear,but revving between 2-3.i hate trannies.thats y i let it sit for 3 weeks.

[Ramsey]

it is only doing it between 2-3

[txarkitekt]

Well, depending upo which internal parts you used, the basic Dextron III fluid is all you need--because the synthetic fluid is too slippery and it won't allow the bands to grab the drums the right way. Did you use any orifice plugs? What about the forward accumulator (the peanut looking thing on the end of the valve body)? Did you put new springs and new aluminum piston in there? What type of bands did you use--stock or Kevlar?

[Ramsey]

ok .so ill tell ya what i know is in it.kevlar band,5 pinion planets front and back,chuck rebuilt the valve body at flt,all i know about that is he redid the hd2 transgo kit in it etc and took some washers out so it didnt hit so hard in 2nd,then gave me a new redrilled plate with an .85 hole instead of a .110 whole because it was hitting real hard a breaking **** left and right ,so he said it was best too calm down the 1-2. vette servo ,and superhold 2-4 billet servo.beast sunshell,65e front shaft and drum,resurfaced rear drum.billet output shaft,aa box of little clutch springs.lol.theyre rebuild kit.thats all i can remember at this second.oh i did send flt the accum piston along with my valve body to do any ness things.so do you think the synthetic is hurting things.i always though it was best too use for 12bucks a quart times 10..
