,,,"..then unplug the tuner and you don't need to ask for any help on here,,,,",,,
do you actually KNOW how a tuner works? One don't ride around with it plugged in man. It was done before we bought the car. You know NOT what you are talk'n about dude. That comment proves it. SMH,,,,,

Lmfao bro you can plug in a tuner. Called hand helds brah

Just look at the installation. I don't see how that is going to hurt anything to pull it back apart and double check. Do you want the tranny to work? If yes go over everything a second time. If no then leave it.

Hey Guy, whats your problem?

MaroonMonster is actually one of the most well versed people (regarding this Transmission) that I have come across (and I was an Engineer for GM Transmissions).
So you would be wise to listen to him!

Sorry to have to tell you, but have been misinformed about your Transmission.
...and the People here who know better, are trying to help you.

So good luck.

It will show us how far the Hub was into the Rotor.

I don't know about yours but Mine has steps to get it up n runn'n. If you play with some'thn while drive'n,, you need to stop drive'n. So many chiefs and not one indian. Also,, the dude from earlier is wrong. Been research'n and only a couple on this forum has been helpful. The others think they're God and know it all. That's where they fail. The list keeps grow'n too.

Okay I counted about 6 apostrophes too many in that post. I went ahead and corrected them for you, you can thank me later.

I don't know what you mean by steps to get it up and running.
Do you not take logs and adjust accordingly after driving a little bit?
I never said I was a chief.
Which dude are you referring to?
I do believe you, not everyone is going to be helpful and not everyone is going to know the answer.

Again I suggest just taking the tranny apart. Double check every thing is correct and then put it back together. This is what happens sometimes man, it really is no big deal.

The pumps are pot metal? I thought the pumps were aluminum... except for the stator shaft, which is steel, no?

In transmissions Its the same as the difference between a guy who does stock rebuilds at a generic engine shop and the guy who is doing $50K engines for a nascar team.


The devil is in the details...
