Okay so this about the 4th time I've put this transmission in this car. Full rebuild back in July all new clutches, plates, band, pump, the works. Couple months ago it started hissing between each shift and made a thread about it. Co-worker that built it tore it all back down and said he couldnt find anything wrong with it. Said it had to be the stall converter. Bought another Dacco Performance converter and put it all back in to find the same problem after it gets hot starts hissing between gears then slipping between gears then just lets go all forward and reverse gears. Let the car cool off and drives fine till it gets hot.
So then he tells me its gotta be the pump. Go to his house and pull the pump out of a known good transmission. I pulled the pump out this time and another coworker went ahead and pulled all the clutch packs out to inspect and they still look brand new. put it all back in with a new pump just to do the exact same damn thing. Except now it seems even louder and metalic noise in park/neutral after it starts to slip and let go. put it in gear and the noise goes away but then starts to hiss if you give any gas. At this point the car wouldnt move at all forward or reverse. Shut the key off for about 30 seconds then I can move the car around the lot again.
All the noise comes from right at the bell housing of the transmission.
Bout ready to throw my hands up shoot it with a 12 gauge and go find a T350 for all the time and money I have wasted.
Both pumps are PWM pumps even tho the car is non pwm. The valve body has a hole for the pwm but nothing in it nor a connector for one. He said it still wouldnt matter. Tired of this guy wasting my time and money
