just finished the jmod with 1-2 and 2-3 piston upgrade to new style, removed the 1-2 lower and 2-3 springs; drilled out all the holes with the right size bits, except the reverse hole (#10) on the diagram; I left it alone
also added a Hayden cooler and bypassed the oem cooler; also added a deep sump pan
when I removed the valve body a small shiny ferrule dropped to the ground, I dunno where it fell out of, it's probably about 2-3 mm i.d. and about 4-5 mm long; also there were a total of 9 balls in my valve body, but there's only 8 rounded corners where the balls go, I put 8 back in. I haven't found any references to 9 balls. The little filter that sits at 45 deg is present
11 quarts came out; I put about 9.5 qts Mercon V back in, and tried to test drive but R would not engage; I put in another 2.5 qts in and took it for a test drive; the fluid level looked low so I added another qt and now it might be a little high;
It's slow to engage R, it has to go to about 1700-2000 rpms before it engages, then if i drive in R it shutters; it engages D at about 1200 rpms, which is a little late...the filter is in the valve body, as is the little magent that sits in the hole. All the other gears drive fine...no concerns
what's going on and what do i need to do?
the two extra parts left over
