my weekend progress so far.

I thought all you had left was Trans Cooler details, and the trans temp sensor bs. ? Something else come up?
 
Wasn't trying to be funny, just admiring your work and thought you were close to completion. Really excited to see how it all turns out man!
 
i had trans cooler to install, temp sensor to wire up, cooler fan to wire up, exhaust to put on, tranny to fill, front end to find a clunk i have had, after burning up a wire going to the gauge pod for some unknown reason, i gave up, now it can sit all week and next weekend, i'll have the same list to do as above!!!
 
Or a oil/trans fluid slick floor.
Or 35 deg weather with 6+ inches on the way......in the middle of April.....WTF.....
 
well now i have a full transmission and a leaky mother :q:q:q:qer dipstick tube, even with a brand new o-ring too. and not to mention i fired the car up, and went through the gears but i first went to reverse, then went to drive, then as i went back to park i see the indicator light still on drive but the shifter handle was in park, it didnt feel right, so i went under the car to see what happened and the shifter linkage cable was broken, i must have caught it on the old trans when i was taking it out. so i had to go outside and jack up a parts car, crawl under it and disconnect the linkage and then go in the car and remove the whole shifter mechanism, then i had to pull my console out and rip my shifter mechanism out and replace with the other one, got that done, then noticed the dip stick leaking, son of a bitch seriously???? i was all ready to drive it tonight, now i have to rip the dip stick out and drain all the fluid into a clean bucket. i figured out my burnt wire problem too, the idiots at glowshift have a mistake on the wiring diagram on the directions that came with my volt meter, i compared them to the diagram on the website and its different, thats why i fried a wire last night in my pillar.
i missed work today because i couldnt sleep last night from hurting my back so bad, my problem is when i need help, if i cant get any, i force myself to get the job done alone no matter what, and then i pay for it later, i know one thing i am not gonna be able to hurt my back too many more times before it does permanent damage.
so now, the car deffinetly wont see pavement again until friday night or saturday i need a few days away from it. the car seemed to run great with brandons computer he sent me, but i have yet to drive the car! my trans temp sensor works perfect i heated it up with a lighter and watched the gauge, then stuck it in front of my trans cooler fan and turned it on and it dropped quickly, so, all i got left to do is fix the trans dip stick leak, put the wiper mechanism back in and wiper cowl, put the hood back on, bolt the front bumper back to the car and stick the headlights in and go for a ride, if anything goes wrong, look for an oil slick on the side of the gandy bridge!
 
Oh chit, if I had known you got Glow Shift I could have warned you about that. I have used their stuff a few times before. They look nice but their sending units for oil and fuel dont last at all.
 
I thought at normal operating fluid level, it is supposed to be below the level of the dipstick tube o-ring. You shouldn't have to drain any fluid to replace the o-ring, but I may be remembering wrong... Good luck though...
 
i dont know, it reads perfect on the dipstick, and i have a weep coming out of the bottom of the dip stick tube, i'll check again tomorrow maybe i put too much fluid in, but i highly doubt it, the trans and convertor were totally empty, and i have this new large cooler, and i put 12 1/2 qts back in thats when it read perfect on the dip stick after letting it get hot. all i want to do is take it for a ride, its all back together and now this is gonna stop me????????????????????????????
 
gandy bridge huh. Nice. open that bitch up on the pinellas side. take the howard home and open it back up on the tampa side :) that way the cops cant get ya.
 
well i took it for a ride tonight, the 4:30's are just plain retarded, the car shifts fast and accelerates really fast, i love how it drives, BUT it has a trans fluid leak, and i wasnt jacking it back up and getting under it again, i am done until this weekend, i cant work on this thing at night after working all day its just kicking my ass, so hopefully the leak is something stupid and can be fixed fast, other than that, its back on its own 4 feet! the second gear shift at 1/2 throttle is so sick, and with the new tires you can hear the chirp 3 miles away, when i drive away from a stop sign normally i cant believe how fast it goes through the gears, and 1st gear is useless lol, not that it shifts too fast, it shifts with the rpms up, it just goes through first gear really quick lol, i love it, talk about putting you back in the seat damn!!
