Happy to report that the accumulator fixed the rest of my problems! The new one made a great seal and now the trans feels good as new. The shifts are smooth, quick and happen when they should now. I even did another WOT test and I think I shaved off about 8 seconds from before when I couldn’t...

Okay since that’s my only lead I went ahead and bought one, coming tomorrow. Hopefully that will make a stronger seal and fix the feel of the shift.

Okay I finally have the report. On the WOT test it behaves much better now, holding second and actually giving me power from it, shifting both times at around 4 to 4500 rpms which I think is close enough to be able to change with the tv cable. I still don’t like a few things though. When I’m...

Haven’t road tested it yet I figured I’d be safe then sorry and make sure there wasn’t any other problems. 3rd gear was not giving me any problems so if the front pack controls that I’m sure I don’t have to worry. I’ll update tomorrow what I test.

I wasn’t able to get it to fall out like I did last time. But I did shine a light in to make sure the skinnier end was facing out and it was👍

Much better looking now although I am still worried about the 2nd gear issue and whether or not the kickdown valve will fix it. I did the air pressure checks and the front and rear servos as well as the rear clutch sounded/worked great. The front clutch test didn’t sound as nice though, missing...

That was definitely the big problem, here’s a pic of how it’s going back in just so you can check my work.

ohhhh man! Pretty sure that’s it I went back and forth tons of times which way that went in as it didn’t look right to me but I just went with what the manual says. I attached a pic of how much the lockdown valve sticks out. Never looked right to me is this the problem?

Don’t kid yourself, I’ve watched tons of rebuilds on four wheelers and dirt transmissions when I was working on them. Yours was by far the easiest to follow video, plus I’m sure the number of people who actually have to rely of the air test is so small it doesn’t matter.

I’ll do that and report back ASAP. What do you mean by that piston in between the servos are you talking about the yellowish plastic one? Should I just hold a hand on it to make sure it doesn’t blow out?

Definitely a life saver I couldn’t be more thankful! Made me know what to do and why everything worked the way it does. Really upped the confidence, which is especially important for a kid my age.

Yep, that’s exactly how it felt the final time I installed it. Wish it woulda taken me three less tries to figure it out though!

I couldn’t even if I wanted to, only reason my trans is even put together right now!

I will admit it is very handy to be able to test it manually, especially with the fact that my first transmission rebuild is on an automatic! By any chance do you know what hole to air check for the servo piston?

I will say that when I rebuilt the trans it went in and out a couple times as every time I would try it I burned up the oil pump. I ended up figuring out why, there was still a spacer/bearing in the hole of the flex plate. Apparently it’s used on manuals but needs to be taken out for autos and I...
