Hi, I am new to this forum but have been using it for great info. I own a xr7 cougar 4.6 auto, that I purchased in summer and have been tinkering with since.
I installed a fairbanks shift kit two months ago(have done a few with great success). It is 97 4r70w and after installing (with old original fluid) I had no 3rd or OD until WOT. Then...
I rebuilt the whole transmission the only thing wrong was the intermediate sprag clip came of and some worping on a friction plate. Everything new inside even all new solenoids. Also installed a 3500 10" lockup converter and 4:10 gear and still no 3rd unless I force it, I'm thinking it goes into Od. Also it goes to third cruising then when I let off it neutrals out.
Does this sound like a 2-3 accumulator problem?? It was a aftermarket aluminum unit that didn't requir the factory retainer?? Any advice is really appreciated thanks for your time
