oh I Know that, I was just meaning if its going to be opened up, if you could bump the stall up, along with getting the tranny rebuilt... do you build transmissions? It is an e4od

 

I replied to your email, call me it is best. This forum is touchy at times.

understatement? i'm not stirring the pot alan, but i know exactly what your hinting at.

 

internet forums are like a 4 yr old with a loaded gun...

might as well just sit back and wait for it to go off

 

Did you actually feel the fluid? was it really slick? Also when you feel it you can check for any metal flakes in the fluid on your fingers.

What about the smell? did it smell burnt?

 

I was going by symptoms, trying to pull from memory what trans it was from when he got the converter. I remembered correctly, which at times can be surprising. I have a strange memory, terrible with names, forget my anniversary, clueless as when my wifes b-day is, but I can tell you the motorcraft part number on oil filter on just about anything and I call sonnax to order most common parts without opening the book.....They say memory is first to go but I don't recall what they told me was next.
For real however on the transmission the reverse shudder is a common symptom of an overheated e4od or 4r100. If you keep on the reverse trying to make it work the trans will get really hot and blow the front seal out.

I don't really know for sure what's wrong, but if I decided to fix it, alan will be doing it, unless the shop that built it will fix it for no charge.

 

I'm confused.
You said it was a Dirty-dog transmission.
Is Dirty-dog and Alan 2 different places?

That was a little confusing. I built the converter only.
Alan

 

Thanks for clearing that up for me Alan.

I see ware I got confused now, someone was asking Joe about his converter.

Ok so the tranny shop took my side, and is going to make it right for me, at little to no charge they said. And once its back together, the truck is up for sale, open to offers, no joke, its going away. as is, everything on it.

 

nice... not really lol

so i know your mindset, but i dont know what it landed on...

what will be the new toy?

 

im really not sure, probably not a "toy", somthing nice, reliable, and somewhat quick, and it will probably just get cosmetic modifications... then down the road ill build a toy.

 

lol. i like my milan. gets out of the way quickly. the v6 sounds nice on inside. picked up for 12k with the premier package.

so how about like a 67 fairlane gt/gta? lol

 

nah... im lookin to buy a newer superduty or mustang. im going with a wrecked one. my girlfriend's dad owns the biggest collision shop in the area and he will let me fix it there at no cost. so that's what im going to do.
