First, thanks to Pete for helping with the switches on the valve body. Vague ATSG and instructions etc.
I had to put another case filter in. Its a little cone shaped filter.
One bolt for the pan was stripped. How do you strip a bolt pan is beyond me, its 9 ft/lbs of torque.
There were a few other minor things that made me wonder if it was even worth finishing, such as dust in the pan. I have taken the pan off three times, and each and every time there was black dust i bottom of pan. Very few miles, not even 50 miles. Never smelt bad though.
SO, she will get fluid and pan gasket tomorrow. And, if all goes well, I will drive her and finish the tune for the 42# injectors.

Good luck, Steve. I know this has been a loooooong road for you! Hopefully this solves the problems.

Good luck! I've also had some dust in fluid and on the
bottom of the pan everytime when I took pan off.
Even after only a few hundred miles.
And the trans is still working two years after rebuild
(knock on wood).

May the god of transmissions protect and keep you.

Good Luck

Well, I found another stripped bolt for the pan. No biggie, getting more proficient every day.
Well, it did exactly as the builder said it would. Its like driving a regular transmission . But, the more throttle you give the harder it hits. Very smooth. Temps were around 180ish, with AC on and laser reader on pan and fluid with stick out.
Hopefully I finally have a winner of a transmission in it.
Now I need to wash it BADLY and finish the tune for new injectors.
With these Bosch III injectors it fires right up, no throttling until it settles. Kinda nice.

Sounds good!

Excellent news!

Cool beans.
