I put the car manually in first take off lightly and I feel it downshift into first....and at about 6 MPH it clunks into second gear again.
 
Do you really need a half dozen trans threads about the various symptoms from you messing up your trans?

Do you realize how IMPOSSIBLE it is to diagnose a trans online with only partial information?
You will get several people in here that havent read your other multiple threads about your screwed up trans and the wrong seperator and the wrong holes and then driving around like that, and they will only see this new issue and start making suggestions without knowing the rest of the story.

I have sat back and watched this train wreck long enough without saying anything. If you had no clue what you were doing then you should have never pulled the crap apart.
You have a 98 trans with a pre 98 valvebody and ... what, a 98 seperator plate and the holes drilled for a 98 valve body? Did you correct that yet to even know if you did the change over properly? Is it hooked up right? I dont feel like digging through your other threads to see whats what.

Buy a new trans and leave it the hell alone.

LOL you are getting meaner everyday...:D
 
One its a 97 I used the original plate that was originally in the car...2 I've done this to 3 other cars without a problem but wen I did those I never messed with the accumulators.. everything shifts great no codes and I've read on others having this problem on there mustangs after doing it..the only thing I've read on there worthwhile was the 1-2 accumulator being the issue.....so sorry if I'm trying to get answers....Its not a valve body issue cuz I've used ne'er gaskets same problem got the right gaskets same problem
 
Laser, lol... last I remember on it, it's a 97 trans with a 97 valve body but has gaskets for a 98 installed but then it was taken apart again and no gasket was seen around the three plates. I'm fuggin lost now and I thought the right gaskets were coming in and he bought a 96 separator plate to re-drill.

Now, the last I heard, the 96 plate was going to be drilled and the correct gaskets installed this time. Has it been done yet? I have no clue.
 
I would bet that your 1-2 accumulator spring is in 2-3 pieces and the piston is fu<ked. Drop the pan and the 1-2 and take a look. The fix is cheap and easy.
 
See thats my point Terry, so many threads on this if they were all together then I would remember what was what.

Marked, he has more issues then just the downshift upshift issue..... or as I gather from his other threads.

This is exactly what LaserSVT was trying to say, this guy has one 2 many threads going at the same time to even know what is actually going on. Should of never started a 2nd or 3rd thread, original thread would of been best. Now like LaserSVT said, others without knowledge will second guess troubleshooting tips without knowing what he did or did not do or did wrong to get where he is.

WORTHLESS THREAD IN MY OPINION.

:soapbox:
 
Mmmmm beer
and this has nothing to do with gaskets 96 and up are the
Same only difference would be if there is a (d hole) or not
Its called the d hole in the becontrols instructions

96 valve body gaskets are not the same as 98 valve body gaskets. He j-modded a 97 plate and installed 98 valve body gaskets for a Crown Vic. The car doesn't matter but the gaskets between the two do.

He can drop the accumulator piston and at least look before making a thread here;) More than likely though looking at his threads, he needs professional help.

How do you figure
When ordering shift kits from becontrols they are listed as
95 and pre and 1996-2000 nothing else

Put a 96 separator plate up next to a 98 plate and you might see some differences. The holes don't match up the same. Shift kits and controllers aren't the same as the J-Mod btw. They are as described, shift controllers. In other words, it has nothing to do with valve body gaskets from a 97 matching what the 98 has inside.
 
Look at these differences in a 98 plate ON THE LEFT and a pre- 98 gasket ON THE RIGHT. Picture speaks for itself.

Doesn't matter learn what you are talking about first
A becontrols shift kit is more than the j-mod so yes it comes with
Gaskets there is no difference between 97-98 vlave bodies

No there sure isn't except for all of the electronic controls and I know what I'm talking about because I have been inside both. That aftermarket stuff you're talking about might come with gaskets but I bet they aren't mismatched like the OP done to his car. I just showed you the difference and you say they're the same? A 98 valve body is not the same as a 97, 96. 95, 94, or 93. Period. Not the same. Valve body's changed in 98. I guess you think you can take a 98 trans and just plug and play into a 97 too?

I wonder why there is a re-pin needed. I wonder why the gaskets for 97's and 98's don't have the same amount of holes? Yeah, they're the same. :rolleyes:
 
As a matter of fact yes I have a 98 transmission in my 97
with the shift kit I ordered for my 97 so by your theory my
Transmission should be exhibiting the same problems as sik32

Did you re-pin that transmissions wiring harness or swap out electrical internals? The two are not plug and play with each other.
 
if your sick of your tranny problems just yank it out and get one thats not cobbled together and from the same year as your car. seems like a straightforward plan to me
