I noticed there has not been any rebuild documented on online forums for the specific a442F hydro transmission found in 1990-1991 hdj81's. I have a paper manual coming in the unicorn "RM188E FSM" found on eBay
The reason for the rebuild is tranny shifts nicely from Gears 1-2 then 3rd gear seems to be slipping and will not shift into 4th. if I have the gear selector in 2nd and rev it up higher put it into D it will go into 4th but I am not noticing any torque converter lockup. I have adjusted the trans kick down cable and played around with the adjustments and it will shift into 3rd but I notice my revs go up. (my theory of gear slipping).
if you guys have any other suggestions on what to try I am all ears.
I'm no transmission expert or master technician I am confident I can fix this myself it's just a matter of finding all the parts needed and the time.
sofar on my list of what I want for this rebuild is
Wholesale automatics -billet torque converter
wholesale automatics - extreme duty valve body
not sure what else I will need clutch packs and steels? oil pump?
I think I will have a better idea of what I need when I have the transmission opened up.
I found a master rebuild kit on eBay. was wondering if this is compatible I also saw some rebuild kits on rockauto.com unsure if the parts are the same for the a440,a442f electric and or a442f hydro
