Ok, car is stock w/92k on the odometer. On the way to Atlanta, during a downshift to 3rd, the gear kept revving up and I lost 3rd. Let off the gas and waited for 4th to shift back in, and it just spun up (no pull, free revving). After pulling over and commanding 1st, then 2nd, then slowly into 3rd you can feel it try to catch 3rd, but applying anything more then a cruise amount of the pedal, free-revs the motor/tranny. That, and the smell of burnt tranny fluid.
I don't really have the means anytime soon to take the time to put the car up on stands and pull the tranny for a rebuild. I do plan on putting a turbo (or NOS) with a built motor I have on the stand in some year, but not anytime soon. So a "back to stock" is fine for me.
I'm not fimilar with the 4R70W and haven't built an AODE in almost 8 years. So I can't recall off hand...
Does this sound like a piston broke? One that possibly controls a band that holds a drum for 3rd and 4th gears? In that case, I could just take the valve body off and replace it (and do the JMOD at the same time).
Or does this tranny use a clutch pack for 3rd and 4th that I just burned out (and need to pull it apart to replace)? *cross fingers, hoping not*
I need to break open the manual, but been swamped with work. This happened 1 week ago today. Top cruise speed is about 40mph in 2nd (50mph gets the engine warm at 3000rpms). So now it's a great grociery getter, but that's about it. And it just happened to be the first week we are seeing normal Summer temps, of over 80 degrees. That A/C would be very nice right about now (my beater has no A/C). DOH!
Thanks in advance!
