it's my brother's car, he blew third gear out about 6months ago, and
the trans hasn't worked since, about 50 miles on trans, i'm a car guy if you will, but know very little about this trans. and don't want to take it apart for
fear that the shop that built it will blame the problems on me

There is a 3/4 clutch pack that is applied when the unit is in 3rd and 4th gears respectively.
Does it flare at all throttle positions... meaning normal driving and at Wide Open Throttle? If so, then I am afraid there is an inssue in the 3/4 clutches themselves or an issue with the 3rd gear accumulation losing hydraulic pressure.
Either way, it is internal. The unit needs to come out and be gone through by a professional who knows these transmissions.

For some reason I am thinking of a different unit. Yes there is no 2-3 pack . Would sure as hell go a long way to fixing that unit to. I agree must come out and be gone through .
There is no "2/3 pack".

It does help and thanks for that comment.
Here is why it can feel good in 4th but slip going into 3rd..... During the 2-3 upshift the Band is released and the 3/4 Clutches come on. During the 3-4 upshift the Band comes back on, the 3/4 Clutches stay on and the Input Sprag releases.
So, The idea is that if there is excessive clearance in the 3/4 clutches or there is poor hydraulic feed during the 2-3 upshift we will not feel a difference in 4th gear. We might see a problem in 4th over time if the clutches are not stacked corretly.
Hope that helps.
