i just replaced the tranny in my bll about two months ago and i am all ready haveing problems with the new one. if i put it straight into over drive the nothing there it dosnt move but if i start out in drive and the shift into over drive it works till i have to stop the it starts again. dose anyone know why or is this trany screwed to. help would be greatly apreciated

 

sounds like a problem with the valve body. is it an automatic a4ld tranny? was it a rebuilt tranny that was put in there or one out of the junkyard? i had a similar problem on a mustang a while back.ended up replacing the entire valve body,and that took care of it

 

If you had a shop rebuild the tranny, there should be some warranty on it. I would take it back to have it looked at. Or if you got it from a wrecking yard and put it in yourself, then you might try what 72ford suggested. Otherwise it may need rebuilt.

 

ya its from a junkyard maybe i will pull the vavle body and try cleanining it. thanks for the help.

 

has the filter been changed? if not try that first/if you drop the valve body,be really careful, watch how it comes out because it can be tricky going back in..when taking the valve body apart,look for the springs and shutter valves real closely as they can fall out and then you will have no idea where it was..just don't be in a rush while doing it,i have made that mistake a time or two

 

ya it must be the valve body cause when i picked it up it was stiped to the case and inspected the valve body was the only thing i didn't take apart and knowing it sat for a few years its probaly pretty gumed up

 

just take it apart and clean it up really good and replaced all the gaskets and shutter springs and valves,will work like new after that,i have done this a several vehicles in the past.
