there is a man up the street with a stright 6 in a 25 T-buckit its different looks good and gets 32 mpg

We had a tranny ( 700r4) return as a warranty claim... NO reverse. It was from one of our large distributors.

I Do a quick look at the tranny internals , pull most internal guts out .  All LOOKS great.

Something is tellling me to pull the valve body , so I do.   Hmmmm , check balls in the wrong places, oringinal gaskets on the v-body.  Somebody has been inside the v-body, not much else is wrong there.

I reassemble , then dyno the tranny..... No reverse , pressure drop is major in reverse .  This means a huge leak.

I gut the tranny and what do I find???
wish i would have thought of that when i drilled through bills new th350
The purchaser must be building car ... they drilled through the floor pan , into the tranny case , through the tranny case into & completly through the low/reverse piston .

They then tapped the 1/2 inch  hole and threaded in some brass plug.   They bondo'd the problem area , then painted it  .....  Then they  sent it back to the distributor with a complaint of " no reverse" for a warranty claim.

oops.  What a DA car guy IMHO.


I have seen tranny cases with drill marks , even seen them with holes from too long of screws that penetrated the tranny case.

I have never seen this!
