We suggest that you start with our professional troubleshooting
and overhaul manual. This is the same manual you will find in most major transmission
shops. These are model number specific and typically include 50 to 85 pages of detailed
information, drawings, schematics and specifications. Detailed trouble code information
that you can get from your vehicles on-board computer are explained, review of this
data will give you a good idea as to the probable cause of the automatic transmission
problem. Even if you don't do the work yourself the knowledge you gain may keep you
from being ripped off at local transmission shop.
If you have particles in the pan of the transmission you can be sure that the same
contamination can be found in the cooling system at the bottom of the radiator. With
your overhaul parts you should also purchase two cans for radiator cooling system
flush and completely purge out all contamination in the cool hoses both output and
return as well as the radiator reservoir.
It is also recommended that you replace the torque converter, as it is difficulty
to clean and purge out the contamination surely to be inside the torque converter.
This is an abbreviated list and other parts are avialable. If you need something that is not listed just let us knowith .

Maintenance Tips
Regular maintenance cycles and continued checking of fluid levels is critical to the life of your transmission. Operating temperature is the single most critical parameter effecting the life of the transmission. Keep the temperature down and fluid fresh helps the units typically last a very long time under normal driving conditions. We can supply a couple of aftermarket products to help you get the most out of your transmission:
Auxiliary Transmission Oil Cooler.
We can provide the Truco auxiliary transmission oil cooler for you vehicle it is an excellent auxiliary oil cooler that provide additional cooling capacity. The kit includes all parts required to mount the unit and connect to existing cooling lines. This is a typical do it yourself project. The unit typically mounts in front of the radiator. Your cost on this transmission life saving product vary by vehicle model and typically start at $54.94 plus shipping and handling.
Generally we don't recommend additives but we have found that the Lubegard "Automatic Transmission Protectant" at only $13.93 + S&H can:
Always consult and follow owners manual for maintenance intervals and requirements.
Before you tear into the transmission, we suggest you first study the troubleshootin overhaul manual, add a bottle of our "Automatic Transmission Protectant" and put a few miles on the vehicle. This just might free valves and governors that are possible stuck in valve bodies. Be sure to get computer trouble code(s), see owners manual for technique to acquire malfunction codes. This will be a great assistance in diagnosing possible problems.

Torque
Converter Installation Preparation
Many torque converter problems can be avoided with proper preparation:
1) Pre-thread converter bolts by hand to make sure there is no sign of stripped threads.
2) Check and clean crankshaft thoroughly. Change crank spacer (if applicable).
3) Use 320 grit sandpaper or Emory cloth to remove any metal shavings on crankshaft.
4) Check converter for any damage that may have occured during shipping.
5) Pre-fill converter with a minimum of (1) quart of transmission fluid.
6) Clean all paint off the pilot using 320 grit emory cloth.
7) Apply grease, not transmission gel, on the pilot.
8) Check flexplate for cracks and be sure there is no more than .006" run out.
9) Make sure all engine dowel pins are in place and clean.
10) Make sure all electrical ground straps are properly connected.
11) Never, Never us an impact gun to install torque converter bolts. Driving a bolt into the converter cover will create a dimple on the lockup apply surface. Lockup clutch failure will occur when the lockup piston applies against and uneven surace. Grinding off on thread length from all lockup converter bolts is recommended to avert this type of failure.
