| That's weird. You might have a line pressure problem? Hard to say. Unless you can monitor what the trans is doing while your driving, it could be a couple different things. RPM should have no affect. Once you put it in DRIVE, it should be solid in gear. Can you scan and see if there's a trans code with no SES light? | |

| I haven't really looked into it because I've never felt the need to, but can you scan trans parameters in HPT? And I'll be able to use that to pull any codes.
When I put it into drive or reverse, I can feel that little "kick" of it landing in gear. | |

| Uhhh... I'll check and see!
One thing that I thought about today and feel like kind of an idiot for not thinking of before is the reason I'm not moving forward in gear may not be trans related. I might have a stuck caliper or something. Gonna throw it on my friends lift today and check that out. | |

| My aunt insisted on taking a picture of my dad and I with my car because she thought it was a "Sharp car that you don't see a lot of. There's never been anything quite like it." I told her it was really dirty, but she wanted to anyway. It's kind of cool having anyone older than fifty be in love with my car. Lol | |

| A little info on the snail...
It's from a 7.3 Powerstroke, as far as I can tell somewhere between 94-99. I paid $100 for it and there is no play, so I'm pretty pumped.
It's ****ing huge. 1.10 A/R compressor, but I was lucky enough to get the .84 A/R turbine, so it will actually spool with the 3800 (some had 1.15 A/R turbines apparently).
This is copied from a Powerstroke forum.
STOCK GARRETT TP38 (on the 7.3) Compressor wheel inducer diameter: 59.87 mm (60 mm) Compressor wheel exducer diameter: 80 mm Compressor housing A/R: 1.10 Turbine wheel inducer diameter: 76.2 mm Turbine wheel exducer diameter: 69.84 mm (70 mm) Turbine housing A/R: 1.15
The interesting thing is the turbo is reverse scroll. From what I understand, for my purposes all this means is the housings are mounted backwards.
This will be a slow moving project, but it should be fun.
P.S. Let's all have a moment of silence for the future of my transmission. | |
