So I have a 99 regal, the tranny has as follows 7/8th chain, 3:29s, 34 tooth reluctor wheel, 3000 stall converter, ZZP 300M input shaft, Chrome molly pump shaft, Transgo SK, Custom separator plate mods, hardened 4th hub, Blue plate clutches, Z pack for 3rd Gear, Diode spargs.
This was built by Chris Harmon less than a year ago, this was his car that i bought from him. So Monday night, i started hearing a while from the lower part of the motor and then 2 mins later driving 40 it fell on its face, revved to 4000 rpms and had barely any power....i was at 4000 going about 35, so i drove it straight home and then trailered to my work (chevy dealership) and the tranny "specialist" dropped the pan and there werent any big flakes of metal but a lot of TINY ones in my opinion, he called them big, but they were like specs of sand. Anyways, we started with a tranny filter, the whine went away, car drove great then!! full power, great shifts, yada yada yada, only thing i noticed was the trans temp was getting hot quicker than usual. It also threw a code last night for a "turbine input speed sensor"
Another weird thing is that ever since ive had the car, the stall doesnt always lock up on the highway i.e. i could be cruising 60 on the highway and it wont do anything til it hits 3000 RPMS.
So heres the issue, today on my way home from work i was going about 45 and it fell on its face, did the same thing as monday night except worse now it literally has NO power, it moves....but whines like a ***** and is at about 4000 RPMs at 20 mph so i pulled over and am going to trailer it home....but WTF?!
PLEASE HELP!! any and all suggestions, trannyman please help!
