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. Took it for a 15 mile ride. 45 minute stop. While driving home it started to slip. Dropped into 2nd and still slipping. Pulled over. No reverse either. Called for a tow. Level good. Not burnt. Only thing I noticed is that the transmission lines do not feel hot.
I had previously installed another used a999 and it did the same thing after a few miles. I figured that one was bad. In between I had low flow out of the radiator to the trans but I back flushed it as well as the lines. Thinking this has to be something external.
Questions? Can over temp fluid cause slippage? I run type F. Is that ok in a lock up trans? When I get it back home I will try to run it (cooled down) and check flow through the radiator again. I can also hook up an external cooler. Any thoughts appreciated.
