    Meh that's because you have to do it right. Then they don't leak or break off

    Safety modifications

    Safety modifications Shaking the hand of a Clinton is all the protection you need . . . . . . Thank you for fixing the internet And I mean how the heck does that happen? Shy of a moderate explosion that may have rendered them unconscious "2 ladies burn to death in the car wash in a razor"

    BMW 328i

    Ah ok you're reading the twin power turbo engine cover. Ok I thought you twin turbo'd this guy. It's actually a single turbo that uses 2 separate exhaust tubes to power the turbine on the turbo. What threw me was your stand alone post that said "twin turbo 4 cyl" All good. I was about to...

    Re: 1986 Dynasty Apollo Ski Boat Is the 4.3 in the pic the replacement motor that already has parts transferred to it? Or is the original motor and accessories still in the hull and this is the complete replacement?

    After the Flop?

    Or is it when you corner in a GT3RS and it sticks to the pavement like glue at 108mph where you've driven your truck at a max of 55 and it got loose. Gives you the whip ****ties

    After the Flop?

    That's it I'm using that term from now on "whip ****ties" "If you weren't out there doing whip ****ties instead of doing your homework you would have done better on your test yesterday"

    Zuk Based JHF/Goatbuilt Buggy

    Mm yummy I always loved 4l80s. They are a great trans. The only kicker with them was if they had the slightest pressure leak they'd burn to the ground. So keeping them tight was the key then you could get 50k out of em. I'm guessing you're gonna rebuild. Fresh o rings in all the accumulators...

    Zuk Based JHF/Goatbuilt Buggy

    Fluid in plug won't cause a no reverse for sure. Reverse is 100% hydraulic. No solenoids are affected. I used to see fluid them all the time. Plus remember that on the other side of that connector are bare pigtail connections at each solenoid that are fully submerged all the time. That low...

    So what'd you find in the trans? Direct clutches toast? Low servo issue? Valve issue? It was always motorhomes that would toast reverse. I know we do different things with our rigs. Lol So just curious

    Buick 3.8 Transaxle shift help!!!

    What's the solenoid command supposed to be during a 1-2 then a 2-3 shift ? 1-2 off 2-3 on ? Then 2-3 off and 1-2 on? Asking because I'm wondering if the 2-3 is off during a 2-3 shift rather than on. Then you would just want to pull the pin from the harness to get a 2-3 shift

    Buick 3.8 Transaxle shift help!!!

    Correct. All you really need is "transmission output controls" so you can manually command a gear change Then you can probe harness with it running on jack stands to be sure the signal is being sent. Without that ability, your problem is gonna be hard to pin point. About all you can do is...

    The "current gear" display is the PCM commanded gear

    Buick 3.8 Transaxle shift help!!!

    But it's really not worth probing if you don't have a way to see on the scanner that the PCM is commanding it. Your entire prob can be related to no command given your circumstances That's the first thing I did on no shift concerns. Go drive with my tech 2, watch for the command, command it...

    Buick 3.8 Transaxle shift help!!!

    Absolutely. A 12v test light will tell you. The PCM sends a ground not a power so a self powered test light works best but you can just put it on the pos batt lead of the battery. Of course manuals tell you all the time not to back probe on a PCM ground circuit but I did it all the time. So...

    Buick 3.8 Transaxle shift help!!!

    The PCM controls both engine and trans. I'd put it on jack stands and manually command gear changes with your scanner. I'm not familiar with the one you have but you'll need one You'll need to be able to first watch whether the PCM commands 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 shifts. Then be able to manually...

    Buick 3.8 Transaxle shift help!!!

    I used to work on them all the time. It should be a 4t65. Though they were somewhat my bread and butter, they really didn't have major issues. I put pressure control solenoids in them all the time for shuddering on accel from a stop. As well as stripped 4th gear shaft splines. Other than...
