No burned clutches, nothing really out of place, but I haven't taken the valve body part yet so I figure the problem has to be in there.

Ordered a rebuild kit with just frictions and seals, and actually found a alto Wide band. place has 2 more in stock if anyone needs one. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...0001&campid=5335822911&icep_item=350000147424

Finally got done with the 4.3 /4l60E swap I did for a guy and got his just outta my face so I hauled my bonnie over to my shop and got her all settled in for a brief nap while I rebuild her digestive system . Film at 11 Bob.

Good find. Might be one check ball in wrong place or something stupid done wrong if went back to shop several times.

Just bought a Bissel pet pro cleaner partly for the couches at home. Haven't got to try it out in a vehicle yet, but may be a help in something like this.

I have a feeling they didnt rebuild sh*t or install a new pump, I suspect they just kept stabbing in Convertors and fluid and filter changes and sending this guy down the road.

Will never know because you’re going to rebuild it not repair it and find the actual cause of the issue and repeated returns to said transmission shop
