Back again guys,
Recently I've rebuilt my transmission, I left the valve body alone at the time Incase I had issues it would be obvious which part got messed up.
I learned I actually had a 48re in it that was built by NAPC in Edmonton AB and I was never extremely happy with it. I decided to do the rebuild myself because I am very mechanically capable and like doing new things and learning how it all works.
The rebuild went well I thought, proper clearances in the clutch packs and all but I ran out of time and left the OD section alone, I am now kicking myself for that.
The valve body is a mess and I'm getting a new one sent to me today, I don't know exactly what they do at napc valve body wise but I pulled it apart and found about half of a transgo kit in it and running at stock line pressure on what they call the 450 series for 450hp and less.
I'd love to order up a goerend vb but it's just not in the budget right now, could maybe swing a revmax but I think I'm going to try and track down a stock vb and put my already purchased transgo kit in.
Now that everyones up to speed I'll get to the issues,
The 1-2 shift feels awesome,it's nice and firm and you know it's in gear but the 2-3(common from what I've read) is sloppy as... And when in third it revs freely and doesn't feel like its putting power to the ground untill about 2000rpms then you can feel it grab and pick up but if I lock it up in third all seems well? When it goes into OD it seems like OD lockup is happening at the same time as the 3-4 shift, when it does this the turbo barks at me which I'm assuming is because OD is slipping. My cruising rpms also seem to change but it may just be in my head.
After all this the oil is perfect, red as can be and does not smell burnt at all.
Sorry if it seems as though I jumped around a bit, I've been typing this over the last 4 hours. If you need more info just let me know, thanks guys.
