    My reverse/low servo pin is about 4.33" long, seems it is the early 400/4l80e pin. According to this company: http://www.wittrans.com/c-713-4L80E.aspx?pagenum=48 (D34913F).

    It's the shortest pin there is, they go up to 4.861" , pretty much 1/2" longer. Should I lengthen it anyways, even if it is not the root problem?


    I don't want to hi-jack here, but if someone has the same problem this info will probably help them. Plus, the guys that are in this thread are hopefully subscribed to this topic already.

    Hmm, can't help ya there...seems like a totally different problem than the one we are dealing with in this thread, at least you HAD reverse.

    Here are some pics explaining the problem....I called Transgo, they said I had an old kit, they sent me a PDF. of the updated instructions.

    This is the page six step 6 that was mentioned earlier. My instructions only had 8 steps.


    My gaskets after I took the valvebody down...

    The pressure blew through but it's still restricted. The other gasket looked even more restricted.

    So I cut the holes for proper flow in both gaskets...




    RANT:
    I'm pretty ticked off at Transgo, I'm sure they've come across this problem before. Why wouldn't they have a bulletin or something up on their website warning people of this blunder of theirs!?!? They sure wasted my time and money! I read on Pirate4x4.com about a guy that had a very similar problem, they sent him the new kit, free of charge...it's some kind of triple stack plate system. I didn't get that offer!

    When I called them and explained my issue Larry assumed I had the triple stack kit, when I said no, just one plate, he was like "OH, you have an old kit then, I'll have to look up those instructions." So he found them and we figured out I had the instruction even prior to the ones he pulled up. I KNOW for a fact my instructions did not mention the 3X holes. It would have put up a red flag and I would have looked into it further. I was VERY meticulous. I didn't even have the holes on the gaskets they gave me in order to mark the holes in the plate. The holes in the plate must have been put there by the shop when they rebuilt the tranny back when my dad owned it, I can only guess that it adds additional pressure to the direct clutch when all the other circuits are stock...dunno.


    Thanks a lot Transgo!!

    Hope this can help someone with the same problem.

    i herd nothing but good about transgo until a little while ago, another thing that made me furious was the c clip for the boost valve was wider than the grove in my trans. and it blew out half a mile from my house so that was another $30+ of fluid and an hour of my time and a tow home. also my trans had more check balls than transgo said it did, another 2 hours of my time and again $30+ of fluid. summit racing sold me a old kit, the new ones might be better? oh well i wont buy another one. my preformabuilt 60e solved all my problems.

    Yeah, I guess companies make mistakes, these things happen. I just wish it didn't happen to me!

    So I put the valvebody back up today, topped up the ATF, fired it up, put it in R. Guess what?... I was able to back up over top of the brick (4" high) I used to chock the tire. I wasn't even able to back up over a calculator before. That 3X passage is necassary. Too bad it didn't say so in the instructions I originally got with the reprogramming kit!

    If anyone has any questions regarding this shift kit (4l80e-3 full manual reprogramming kit) go ahead and feel free to ask, I've pretty much followed every circuit they (Transgo) route by looking at the powerflow diagrams in the technicians guide.

    I have the Hydra-Matic tech guide PDF. and the shift kit instructions PDF. I'll send them to you if you need them. The technicians guide has any info you'll ever need to know regarding the 4l80e.

    Huh, I just realized I don't have the tech guide pdf. anymore. I had to wipe the drive and I guess I didn't back that file up. I'll try to find it again. Here's a link to a few pages from it: 4L80E-Reference-Material

    The Transgo pdf. is being sent in 10 seconds.
