Yesterday I went to swap in a new 1053-1 converter from Sun coast. I did nothing more then drop the trans slide the old out and the new converter on put the trans back up, added roughly a gallon of fluid. fired it up put it in drive and went through the gears on the lift.( did not put it in reverse first Mike L told me along time ago to never do that after trans work) seemed fine. I slowly went down the road 30-40 mph and on the way back it started acting funny like it was under load and slipping when I pulled in the driveway the CEL came on for p0700 and p0747 and it would go forward. I shut it off opened the hood and smoke was coming out the dipstick. managed to push it forward and back it back into the shop and got it on the lift and dropped the pan. burnt oil and clutch material in the pan. I put the pan back up and added oil cleared the codes and only one now is p0741 and it is stuck in a gear in park I can tell because it loads the motor in park if I rev it. reverse works and has reverse in neutral. and locks up in any forward gear.
SO there had to be some junk in this new converter that went into the VB and stuck a valve and caused a tie up. this trans is fresh built by chris at DRP (and had been flawless for 1500 miles) none of the pins on any of the connecters are bent or damaged. NSBU seems to be working fine the hash mark under the gear indicator is working. wtf this is crap.
