Did you assemble the leg with all the pack together and them test through the hole on the 4th support?

did get it to work with a little tranny fluid in feed hole put tranny in car and now am getting long shift time from 1st to 2nd when tranny warms up. when cold shift fine throught all gears any ideas on how to fix ???? i have been reading post on issue and maybe valve body or accumalator and ideas. Tranny on rebuild had 200 thousand on it but parts all looked preatty good for mileage .

 

[BillBoost37]

Is the valve body all original or did you put any of the sonnax updates into it?

 

[57buick]

No valve body is original no updates just good cleaning of all valves and put back together

 

[BillBoost37]

That may have something to do with it. From what I've heard from builders our valves tend to get sloppy in the bores and cause all kinds of little issues.

 

[57buick]

Do I need to get a rebuild valve body or have mine rebuild ????

I'm not an expert, I'd think it's a possibility. Give Dave at TripleEdgePerformance a call and see what his thoughts are. Dave's a great guy and has all the tools to do the full install of all the updates etc.
