I rebuilt the trans the evening. It was FUBAR'ed. The jam nut for the low/reverse band adjuster was loose. I think it backed out and allowed the piston to over travel and get stuck. It's warped and bent and has a small crack. The band and drum are trash.
The clutches were burnt and needed replaced. But I was shocked to find that the inner seal for the front clutch piston was gone! The trans builder didnt put one in it. I'm surprised the car drove at all... The trans was full of clutch material.
So it now has billet servos, billet accumulator, 3.8:1 lever, alto red clutches, ALL of the seals replaced, two new rigid band's and a new drum. I should have just built it myself from the start. Lesson learned to quit being lazy and just do it myself from now on.
The pics show some of the destruction after about 20 miles of driving this "built" trans. Im pissed I payed that guy $950 for lousy work.
