    A999 transmission slipping. Second time.

    Update. I checked the flow in and out of the radiator again. Once again low flow back to the trans with good flow into radiator. I had back flushed it prior to install but did not check flow assuming problem solved. Bypassed radiator with external cooler with good flow in and out now but...

    A999 transmission slipping. Second time.

    Pan and magnet had normal amount of debris. Very little. Fluid didn't look great but not burnt.

    A999 transmission slipping. Second time.

    Yes. Drilled a drain hole in the converter and flushed then welded up the hole. The TC was the one I got with the transmission so different from the last.

    A999 transmission slipping. Second time.

    Thanks George. Bands adjusted to spec. 4 and 2.5 turns. Lokar cable applying no pressure at idle. Will revisit adjustment procedure. After waiting for a tow was able to drive onto and off of flatbed. Drove around neighborhood and shifted fine at first then slipped in all forward. Reverse ok...

    A999 transmission slipping. Second time.

    Hey all. Awaiting a tow. Figured I would get this out there. I've got a head scratcher here. Bear with me. My 904 went south (bands worn) so I got a used a999 from a friend, cleaned it up, removed the valve body and inspected. Adjusted the bands to spec along with cable kickdown. Test drove ok...

    Anyone ever add a drain plug to a torque converter?

    Pop rivet fits nicely but how do you get it to seal? Remove the middle and fill with silicone or just smear it and tap it in? I am assuming you are not using the gun and hammer it in.

    Anyone ever add a drain plug to a torque converter?

    Hey All. My 904 340 style converter has a drain plug in it. Nice. I am running it on a Magnum 360 and knocked the weights off of the converter. No issues there except you cannot drain it while attached to the Magnum flex plate but that is not the issue. I recently acquired an A999 and there is...

    999 lock up wiring problem

    I understand the idea to turn off for tow mode but I have an A999 supposedly from a Dodge Magnum. Would not have tow mode.

    999 lock up wiring problem

    Sorry Guys but I am reviving this one. I have a late 80's A999 L/U transmission and converter to replace my 904 that needs rebuild. I do not have access to the vehicle it came out of. The 999 has the switch/sender/sensor as the OP shows in post #1. I would like to wire it up. How did this...

    727 lokar kickdown cable installation help needed.

    i have question about the kickdown cable initial set up. I have a return spring at the transmission lever holding it forward as well as throttle return spring. I can move the transmission KD lever rearward about 1/2 inch before I can feel the internal transmission kd spring give resistance. I...

    904 Shift selector & kick down lever

    Having a difficult time getting my linkage set up correctly on my 3 piece 360 airgap knockoff, A999 and AVS2. My issue is the hard angle and length of the short rod at the transmission. All this worked on my 904 that I just swapped. I also have a 1 piece down rod that I can try but don't know...

    904 Shift selector & kick down lever

    Mine had just the slide block and spring. No lock bolt. I swapped it out for a locking block with spring. Spring does nothing with the block adjusted and locked. Seems odd.
