Hey fellas,
This is a u pull it tranny I pulled from a van at the yard. Was what i was looking for long shaft ect for a build. Few days ago mated it up to my new engine for cam break in. Fired the engine and going through all normal bs getting the cam broke in 2000 rpm varying you know the drill. Transmission is in with converter everything hooked up. Put the tranny in PARK. 5 minutes in notice some smoke coming from the little vent hole top left side of the tranny just behind the bell housing shape. 8 minutes in smoke developing from the transmission all over it seems fans blowing on radiator so air blowing it all over. Shut down touch the tranny and it is hot as hell. Stumped and still wanting to get through the cam ordeal I decide to jack the axle up put it on jack stands and put the tranny in first gear and see what happens. Fire it up wheels instantly go around smooth nice and within minutes the tranny is now cooling down! I can touch the case again bare hand. So there us an issue in Park and also No reverse! So I do have the turbo 350 handbook and the plan is to rebuild the tranny soon. Now sooner than later. But any ideas what might be my issue so I can make darn sure to address it while in there? After ready everything and learning it seems the intermediate band may be engaged while in park also causing no reverse and generating a ton if heat due to it dragging. Bad intermediate servo? Just dont know enough yet about these to know a problem. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jason
