I have been surfing the GN forums for an answer to why did the direct drum burnt all the frictions down to the metal, If any one can give me some info it would be greatly appreciated. I Have used the search bar but the only ones that came up did not provide me with an answer.
Some back ground to the issue:
Purchased the transmission when I took it apart the direct drum and forward were black warped and generally destroyed to the point the snap rings and return spring where bulging out. Purchased a rebuild/upgrade kit plus the parts that were not salvageable, slapped it together following multiple articles from all the forums for clearances and such. (including a tech manual as a reference)
Put it in the car worked perfect but third seemed to be too long 3 days later 3rd gear started slipping like it wasnt there and had to down shift to second get it up to 50 then drop it in OD to engage 4th.
Made it home fluid looked good but smelled funny. Cracked it open and the second band was burn but not worn, direct drum looks good but the frictions are gone down to the metal and the spring guide is bubbled from the heat, the clutches inside the forward looked to have worn more then normal because I can still read the print on all others.
Any one have this issue before?
