My 48re started not wanting to go into OD then finally wouldnt go at all so troubleshooted until it led me down the path of a failed OD piston seal( had 15-30psi at the OD port).
So I think i am going to "rebuild" the OD unit put new frictions and steels and set up my clearance right along with the new piston seals. Just took it out last night so haven't fully taken all frictions out, but i have attached a couple pics of the first couple, what do you think bad frictions? that one steel has weird markings on it.
But im wondering if its a bad idea to just rebuild the OD unit and not taking the whole trans apart and clean everything in case of debris?
Truck shifts through 1-3 perfect, has lots of good parts in it dont think it needs a full rebuild but most people ive seen that replace the seal dont take it all apart but i talked to a local reputable builder and he said he would take it all apart and clean everything.
I'll add I did take out the VB before this while trying to troubleshoot and replace my solenoids. Also, to go over and see if anything was blocking the orifices in the 3-4 and other bores. Did not find any debris anywhere just slightly darker fluid than what was in the pan. Cleaned it up and put it back in drove another mile or two to see what my pressure was at the od port then tore out the od unit.
