Re: putting a 960 TB on a N/A 850...UPDATE

SO I played around with mine again this weekend. Took my body off my car and took it apart. This time I used lead plumbing solder to close the hole. It melts at a much lower temp- and I figure if somehow it works out- its soft so it should pass! (hopefully) :roll: No for a driving update- I have an ...

Re: putting a 960 TB on a N/A 850...

Well dont try to braze the 850 throttle body plate! Too much heat to get it to flow and it warps the plate! :( Thats 40 bucks from the pick and pull down the drain! Next time I will try soldering it or maybe RTV or Marine epoxy. The plates ARE brass- so they should be solderable- I should have tried...

Re: Any trans gurus here? Need HELLP!

Mine is a non turbo so hopefully not too bad. You have seen this happen to others- that is so strange! Its such a strange thing- it makes the 1-2 shift fine then a second later the engine runs away from the trans (if that makes sense) let your foot out of it and slowly accelerate and it seems to be ...

Re: Any trans gurus here? Need HELLP!

Strange that the cam sensor would make the trans go wonky! ROck auto has them I am going to look on Ebay too.
"Made in Japan" is this a common thing for the cam sensor to effect?
Thanks again guys!

Re: Any trans gurus here? Need HELLP!

Yah- I did do it 3 times- I figured since it was already doing this it couldnt hurt. It didnt get any worse (or better for that matter) I did add a bottle of Lucas also. The strange thing is it doesnt do it ALL the time! I mean on a trans bad is bad- its not gonna be fine then bad, then fine then ba...

Any trans gurus here? Need HELLP!

Well I thought my fill and flush helped but maybe not! Once I drove the car for about 20 miles today and got it good and hot- the trans started acting up. I can best describe it as a Flare up between shifts esp 1-2 and 2-3. It revs up like there is no load on it but if you feed it gas slow it is dri...
