i just did a brand new TCI tranny swap with a b&m 2100 stall because my old trans had no o/d. before i swapped transmissions the old one would like overheat and boil over and i would loose all of the fluid. i thought it was because of the cooling system not staying cold enough my car looked like it was getting way too hot. i replaced the old 160 thermo for a 180 and it stays too cold. i think the 160 was sticking. well when im on the freeways the car stays below or on the blue of the cold mark then when im in town the hottest it gets is up to the first warm mark. my problem is i have no heat most of the time. sometimes it works but most it doesnt. most of the time i can turn the heat on then it goes to cold within 3-5 mins. i dont know how much i trust my guage because we had to use so much silicon i dont know if my sensor is getting all of the fluid to tell the temp. im worried about my new 1300$ tranny overheating.
my big problem is when my car is cold it runs good when it warms up a little it bogs and cuts out usually only full throttle but lately it is doing it under like half throttle. it did this with the old trans in but not as bad.i thought it was the tranny. the new trans has a little too much fluid in it and im taking care of that in the next hour. i hope it could be plugs. just dont know if it is related to my cooling problem in any way.
lastly i thought these cars would have rev limiters in them. i know there is the third gear shift light which i dont understand but if there is a rev limiter on my car ive been past it a few times.
i just want a little help with these problems because im worried about how reliable my car is and i also need heat its getting cold.
