Who’s got 4th/OD? ==> this guy

The saga has come to a end. Took it to Landmark transmission recommended by ACC. The guys were great. Price was fair. Plus I have a unlimited mile two year warranty.

Basically what happened is the OD brake snap ring that holds the clutch in the case came out of its groove. This caused the piston that applies the clutch to move too far and cut the o-ring on the piston. The return spring cage was also damaged. Other than that I was told the rest of the unit looks good. Pretty amazing this transmission went 330k + with no issues.

Score one more for ACC sending you there. One more for you documenting. One more for trans shop!

That a score of 103%

Do you mind me asking how much the transmission shop charged you?

It was just under $2500 with a two year warranty unlimited miles.

I seem to be having somewhat similar issues but it doesn’t become apparent until I’m about 1.5 hrs into a drive at highway speeds. I’m driving along fine at 70mph, rpm’s are around 2300 to start but then after about 1.5 hrs or so, my rpm’s are at about 3700 or so at 70mph. Any thoughts why it would change over time?

I just wanted to follow up on this in case anybody else has the same issue. I think it’s a sticky needle on the tachometer. I realized this when I turned the vehicle off one day when I got home after this “high rpm” thing had occurred. I noticed my tach needle settled out at about 1200 RPM with the engine turned off. So, that’s good news. Not sure if I’ll worry further about it.
