th350 transmission problem Hey guys, I just got done putting a TH350 in my car and its having issues. I got it used, but with low miles on it (around 3500 I believe) and it always worked fine for the previous owner. Its got a rmvb with a trans brake, and fully buuilt, upgraded sprag, etc. What happpens is the trans seems to go into every gear, so I dont think its a linkage adjustment proble,, but when you first drive off its in first gear, shifts to second and third fine. Then when you come to a stop and try to downshift back to first, you have to go to nuetral, then back to first, otherwise it stays in second. Im stumped.

ok, I think i found the issue. I dropped the TCI pan because I need to tap it this week for my trans temp sensor. Well there was a bolt loose in the pan. So i found the location and put it back. Its at the tip of the screw driver here:
Any info on what this plate is for???? Could it have caused my issue???

well i was talking to a few trans builders, and they said that sometimes depending on the valve body, that plate seperates the fluid passages, so it could have caused a leak and caused the no first gear. We will see though. Ill get some interior pictures here sometime.
