Constant 2004R issues.

[Mr.Spool]

Here’s an update on my erratic 2004R

Towed it to a transmission shop to have them drop the pan and VB and look at the throttle valve plunger to see it it’s stuck or whatever and to do a pressure test.

“We’ve got the pan down. Lots of debris. No need to go further. It needs to be rebuilt.”

I was nearby and dropped in unannounced. I looked in the pan. Pan and remaining fluid looked clean except for one piece of something. “That’s clutch material. Trans is wasted.” I grabbed the piece and told them to put the pan back on. Go no further. I will pick up.

That piece of “clutch material”??? This sure looks like a piece of gasket!!

People wonder why I PTSD about repair shops…..

Told ya

Have Dave Husek rebuild it and it WILL be better than new !! I have Dave's Trans in my car and it handles plenty of power with no problems .

Dave did mine couple years ago. I took the tranny down to him (I live in Connecticut).
He took it apart While I was there and expend what he was going to do to fix it.
Turned my 84 BQ into a BR also Had it ready in less than a week.
After I got in back in the car, he spent the time on the phone Setting it up and break in.
When I had questions, he answered them.

About 10 yrs ago I bought a built 2004R from one of the well known transmission gods (will remain nameless) because I didn’t want to blow my orig transmission up. The transmission he sold me lasted 50 miles. 1-2 shift and R is all it had. He walked me though steps to try and fix it. He ended up sending me a replacement unit after a wait which lasted months.

Unit #2: ..2015 or so…. There is an intermittent buzzing in Park with this replacement unit. I had to change out the governor to get the transmission to work correctly. I believe I had to take the one out of my stock unit.

Unit 2 today: ,2,000 miles later and haven’t been down the 1/4mi yet. Trans has 1-2 and starts off in 2 unless I go to N at a stop. Fluid looks new. TV adj correctly.

It’s been 10 yrs so getting on the phone with this guy is useless. …IF you can get him on the phone. It was tough 10 yrs ago.

I’m at my wits end at this point.

I had Dave Husek build mine just 4 weeks ago and wow he is awesome would recommend him to anyone. He walks you through everything and the tranny is strong.
