Well, I've been doing some research to try and repair my transmission. The classic TCC oscillation. I have had the TCC PWM solenoid disconnected for some time, and since the Arizona trip (1300 miles each way) is coming up, I decided to get it repaired. Last weekend I tore into it and replaced the TCC PWM solenoid, and the problem got about 70% better. It really was a pretty easy job, I'm glad because I'm doing it again this weekend. I'm actually doing even more. I'm replacing the 4th shaft, 4th steels and clutches, the PCS solenoid, and I have a Sonnax TCC pressure valve to install in the valve body. Oh, and an aluminum sub frame. A buddy of mine owes me some money and he had a credit at a JY, so I got this today. They didn't have any oil pans though, maybe next time. Here's some pics. Like I said, tomorrow I tear into it...again:
More pics tomorrow, of course.
