trans leaking again after rebuild

Bad Sport said

Am I the only one that thinks that trans guy is a little koo koo after this:


There was a screw and clutch parts in the pan.

TC hub had input shaft metal welded to it.

They got it off and said it was good to go.

They installed Transgo TF-3, but said I had to run kickdown cable, even though Transgo instructions say otherwise,

(Yes, Transgo recommends wiring the pressure arm in the rearward position using safety wire)

Also advises 1st gear burnouts.


I think I may have picked wrong shop!

Quite possibly.

I was just about to make the same comments Bruce. If the converter was welded to the input hub I absolutely guarantee it was not usable unless cut apart, cleaned, any bad parts replaced and a new snout welded on. I also wonder if the OP flushed the trans cooler good before installing the new trans cause if not it's full of burned up clutch and band material from the old one. A plugged up cooler can cause fluid to be pushed out
