part 3
dark grey in oil is normal. specially when the trans is not staying in gears from bad shifter cables. those little teeth holding the gears together under power need to be fully seated. when they are half seated they repell eachother at the cost of metal chips in oil. tech claims shims were grinding in the housing. If that was the case we would have seen a very shine silver color in the oil. he simply saw the surface of the rough looking sycro, the normal wear on the aluminum thrust surface and improperly deduced it was shims grinding.......................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ..................
the chipped gear was on the 3/4 cluster. that was a brand new gear that had been cryo treated. I realized after breaking entire transmissions that had been cry treated that is pointless to treat all the gears. I later started treating only the weakest mostly likley to break. The chip on this gear must have happened during cryo treating four at a time. I didnt notice when I picked them up. A chip on a used gear is a big concern. a chipped new gear is not. The chip is on the unloaded side of gear. For those techs trying to learn only one side of tooth receives power. uless you can figure out how to drive 550hp backwards in third gear this chipped tooth is a none issue. The weak part of that gear is the forth gear end. the gear teeth on forth are almost half the size in strength. thats the side we need to worry about because that is the side that always breaks............................................ .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .dont have much comment on reverse gear. the description simply doesnt match the picture. Orlando said the spring was not seated correctly when it was taken apart by him. If that was the case that spring would have been bent. its obviously not bent. I cant hep diagnose things when you dont know how things work and cant even describe the problem correctly. only an idiot would remove a transmission for a problem with reverse or 5th gear. so you make your own conclusions here.

Thats pretty much it for my defense. I have nothing else to say that matters. I simply think asking for 300 dollars labor back here is plain and simple off the charts stupid.

"As you said they barely move .. So if theyre Moving and removing material from its surface . Its not a proper clearance."


your an idiot. the wear you saw was normal wear from 100,000 miles use. you saw the homemade shim and improperly diagnosed my shim work was causing friction. You dont know how to determine whats normal wear and whats problematic accelerated wear, You cant replace every part in a transmission that shows wear. thats ridiculous. The cost to rebuild would be more expensive than buying the whole trans brand new. SO WHAT DID YOU SET THOSE NEW SHIMS AT? uh uh I dont have that information.
