47RH air testing and teardown inspection

Hey guys,

I have 47rh that I rebuilt myself that is having some issues. I installed alta red clutches, replaced all seals/ gaskets, billet servos, Goerend valve body and triple disc converter and replaced the cooler. The rebuilt transmission worked awesome for about 3k miles. I did a helacious burnout and it started shifting strange from that point on. It would fall out of gear randomly while driving, free revving like it was in nuetral until I stopped, shut the truck off and restarted, all gears are back and shifting well after restarting. Very strange. I checked the fluid level, it was full and was not burned. There are no external trans fluid leaks on the transmission. I think it has a serious hydrolic leak inside, have a hard time believing the pump stopped producing but I guess anything is possible.

Fast forward, I pulled the 47rh out and put an nv5600 in it’s place. Now I have this expensive paper weight that I would like to try and fix but I dont wan’t to just throw a seal kit at it, I want to find the leak or other issue in trans first. Aside from air testing the different passages in the transmission, is there anyway I can inspect/ test the pump with the transmission out of the truck? Is there anyway to test the govornor as well? What else should I look at besides torn or rolled seals? Thanks for any help!

It would have been good to do the pressure checks before you pulled it. All you can do now is completely disassemble and inspect all parts and seals.

Yup. Pressure checks would have been better than air testing. I air test before install
Just to see if here is any major problems. Not as accurate as a fluid pressure test though.

I've had a 1-2 shift timing valve issue before that would let it slip in all forward gears unless I was in lockup. Maybe you hurt your forward clutch pack. Did you go from the 1st gear burn out and shift it into manual 2nd or drive ?
