wasn't this just repaired? If it's burnt out again it sounds like there is an underlying issue causing the problem.

The entire trans was rebuilt.

As the trans is hydraulic it's self contained and thus the issue must lie in it.

I'm aware of how the A440 family and specifically the A442s functions, just wondering if there is an issue with the case which could easily be overlooked that is the root of the issue. Such a rapid failure of a unit rebuilt by a reputable shop leads me to wonder. Could also just as easily be a simple misstep in reassembly.

I'm going with either a bad converter or assembly issue. Regardless. It's under warranty. They can figure it out.

The number of people who see it has an A442 and assume it's electronic or high so I have to specify that when I talk about the transmission

As would I... Just curious.

Yea it is. Yes, they will. Let us know what it is.

For sure. I'm as curious as you. I thought these trans were pretty stout

 

[SmokingRocks]

They are very stout, which has me wondering. If the TC is a factory part I'd suspect improper assembly first, if that wasn't the cause then I'd inspect the TC, if it wasn't obviously fubard from the box (factory parts often aren't) then I'd seriously start looking at passageways and suspect the case very closely. So I'm very interested in what they find.

That's my thoughts. It just abruptly stopped locking up the converter. Which is exactly what happened before. B

I didn't ask who supplied the converter

Damn.

This is the text I got from them today. They haven't been able to work on it yet, but this is the initial guess.

We think the snap ring broke on the governor support letting the governor move dropping the pressure a little bit and letting the converter clutch hydraulic bleed off.. I will get back to you later today when I find a spot to work on it

 

[SmokingRocks]

I figured something caused a loss of line pressure. Thanks for the report

 

[Dusten]

Agreed, I was just curious what. I said that the converter should be replaced too, as it's been allowed to slip more than normal and they agreed


Picked up the parts to deleted my acsd

 

[Dusten]

Very exciting. I got bolts today.

 

[Dusten]

I got an update. And it's not a good one.

At least it sounds like he is standing by his work

I have a hard copy warranty. So they don't have much of an option I'd venture. But he has not once tried to wrestle out of it.

"I edited this quote to correct spelling and grammar"

As you know I'm a straight shooter and will give you the truth whether it's our fault or not...
It spun the pump bushing out of the pump.
A few scenarios can cause this and I don't have answers just yet as to which scenario.

1) When my technician is filling it he was filling it too slow trying to ground through the pump/transmission bad ground.
(I'm not sure what he's saying other than his techs at fault)

2) Scenario converter run out the hub of the converters not perfect perfectly straight.

Soon as I find out I'll let you know today or tomorrow

Great comms and transparency. Solid option for you guys up there.
