after having problems with my 700r4, i finally drained fluid and dropped the pan. fluid was very dark black, and lots of metal in the pan. Pulled the tranny and tore it down -- the bearing that was sitting inside that rear reaction carrier disintegrated, which im guessing de-stabilized that whole planetary system - all the pinions would wobble and everything was burned black.
obviously everything in that system has to be replaced, but everything else looks fine. looks like the filter did a decent job nothing scratched up, just a black dust under the valve body, servos, accums, in the pump, etc.
tranny has less than 2000 miles on rebuild, my buddy put kevlar everything in it so i think ill get new clutches?
but do I have to get new seals and everything? only reason i ask is because i would have to take the case somewhere to get the L/R piston out and have those seals replaced since i dont have the time to come up with a way to get it out and fight with it.
I air checked it and it does not leak. But would it be worth it to pull the piston(S) out and clean behind there?
this is getting long but on more quesiton. the owner said he put a different spring pack in for the L/R spring assembly. he said he thought it might be causing a 1-2 flair/drag. Im thinking he might be talking about the 3-4 springs cause I haven't seen anything on changing the L/R's. If so is there anything he could of messed up there and cause the 1-2 flair?
Thanks!
