Hi all,
I have just done my first automatic transmission overhaul, and I seem to have messed up. The transmission is a A998 from my ´88 Dodge Dakota (electric controller lockup).
I used the performance rebuild kit (teflon seals for reaction shaft) from Oregon Performance transmission, along with a Sonnax servo piston and Transgo TF1 kit.
My problem:
I only have first gear, and it won´t upshift even if I go to 2nd. 1st gear works well in all gears (drive, 2nd and 1st).
It goes in and out of gear (from Park to Reverse and drive) better than ever, it just won´t upshift from first. I did one run where I gave it some revs, and when I went off the throttle and back on, I might have felt like it would have been in neutral for a second, before it was back in first gear. It pulls strong in first gear.
I have the throttle valve lever set to be at mechanical end stop when I have full throttle.
So, where do I start? I do have a gauge to check pressures. :happy1:
