well I didn't get but 1,500 miles before I got skeert and droped the VB to take a look at the band, it is gone.....to the metal gone.... so the trans is out and I am going to try my hand at a rebuild, put a trans-go kit in the VB last night, my red eagle kit came in yesterday and I ordered a Goerend 15 blade converter today, I really hope the shift is firm but not a bang.
I guess we will see how complicated it really is to put a kit in one, the good thing is my trans was working half way fine but you just couldn't even think about taking off fast unless you shifted it by hand and let the PSI build up a little, I have talked to a couple guys including Phillip and have looked at the problem parts, I think i can do it as long as I am not trying to trouble shoot a failure.
in my 32 years of turning wrenches this will be my first attempt at an auto rebuild.
picking up a brand new travel trailer tomorow and I just wanted the trans to be nice for some future travels.
wish me luck.
