    Transmission help for old guy

    Not sure which 700 or th400 you are using but every 400 and 4l80e I've come on has a 32 spline out put and the 700 has a 27 spline like a th350 and 2004r. As far as the 700r4/4l60e goes that low gear is nice for pulling trailers in a truck but for a car that you want acceleration the jump from...

    CUTLASS TH200 shifting issues

    Sounds like you are running out of fuel. Fuel filter new? what about the filter at the carb inlet? might need a gauge on it taped to the windshield to see if the pressure is steady as you make these attempts.

    Trans filter addition

    Why? Unless you have kids dumping stuff/debris in the fill tube I can"t see the need. Change the fluid and filter more often and you should be fine. If you are overheating the fluid and torching clutches the fluid will "wearout" way faster than the internal filter will "get full"

    Th200c sticking converter

    Drop the pan, and you will see the solenoid. Two 10mm bolts hold it from the factory I believe, and it is generally wired through the third gear switch in the vb. Definitely an easy to swap item. No need to pull the pump or vb.

    Updated to hydroboost.

    Hydroboost booster looks like the one that came on 1984 and early 85 Turbo Regals. Or at least that is what I put on mine. Works great.

    700r4 Transmission Issues

    Everything is fixable, though the costs can get steep on bigger probs. Sounds like a pump prob. As it warms the fluid thins and cant apply the clutches. Do you have the correct amount of fluid in it? Checked when warmed up and idling?

    Scanmaster problem

    You state, "no way it is the power" and go on to tell of things that worked until you cut and removed wiring under the dash. This seems to be a problem as you state the dash worked prior to the removal. You need a meter and wiring diagram and start checking things for power. If it doesn't...

    Is anyone else shocked/not shocked or confused about the current G body market and prices

    As with any generation, the guys/people with the money driving the prices buy what they like. This is usually the stuff they remember from their youth. The eighties are that time frame, these individuals are generating the income and spending it on this time frame of vehicles. They aren't...

    turbo 350 stator rings

    If you have a way to get them on and sized I don't think there is a down side to the solid teflon rings. Scarf cut I shy away from. I used a funel to stretch em out and some pieces I cut out of a plastic two liter drink bottle and hose clamp to size em

    6l80 in a regal

    Did he say what goes wrong with the converter? I'm guessing the clutch for the lockup wears out. With that pwm the clutch sure gets slipped a lot.

    http://www.everyday-performance.com/tv_arm.htm I've read of people having good luck with these. They also do qjet carbs for your application.

    TURBO REGAL CHINESE HEADERS?

    They might be good at manufacturing and reverse engineering, they(the pacific rim inhabitants) have little imagination. They cant come up with anything original. But hey, as long as there isn't any intellectual property that isn't a problem.

    TURBO REGAL CHINESE HEADERS?

    While those companies might make their parts here in the us, I don't see many parts for the Buick v6 in their offerings. Most of their stuff goes on a ls, sbc, bbc or ford. The only place to get the Buick specific stuff is TA performance(though Kenny Betts is causing some rumblings with their...

    Still Having Brake Issues

    I always have a nice clean piece of wood for under the pedal. My "helpers" are usually not real drivers but will help. Having them push the pedal to the block and tell me "down" and they hold it there. then I close the bleeder and when closed say "up". and they let the pedal return up and say...

    Still Having Brake Issues

    couple more questions. You say pedal firm with it clamped, and now not firm. Is it still clamped or got "not firm" after the clamp removed? Not sure where you are with the proportioning valve. Have you clamped it so the "reset" is in during the bleed? When you are doing to manual bleed with the...

    Starting issues

    You state parts are new, but these symptoms are a two year activity. So the battery is how old? Do you have a meter to measure the battery voltage? How long do you let the car sit between trying to start it? Sounds like to me the battery just isn't holding the charge and doesn't have the...

    Proportioning valve question

    A clamp might move it but it is probably rusted up inside. It can be disassembled but for the cost of a newer brass one I'd just replace it. Stopping isn't really something you want to not work. And emergency stops that lockup the rears ain't no fun.

    Still Having Brake Issues

    If you see bubbles, keep bleeding. Bubbles mean air and a spongy pedal. You might need another bottle of brake fluid. I would like to recommend a helper and the press, hold and release with said helper that knows the drill. Sucking isn't the same as pushing that fluid down the lines. Especially...

    Jegs is charging sales tax now.

    What does the tax on the gas I buy go to? I thought that was for the roads. What do I pay property tax for? I thought that bought the public services. Sales Tax is just another hand in our pocket. Remember, if they don't spend it they get it cut so they are sure to spend it. Can't have that...
