  Check balls?  Not that... they are in the transmission silly! 

Oh really  I hate when I lose my check balls... Sorry had too, and the nemesis of a lot of slushbox rebuilds.

Yeah spelling will get you all the time, had that happen a couple times I dropped the pan for a filter change then decided to do a shiftkit out with the valve body and separator plates oh no where did those dang balls go I need them

um.... too late.  I wanted to double check a couple things in the pan.  Boost valve?  Yep it’s put together correct, c-clip in place!  Check balls?  Not that... they are in the transmission silly!  Well, I’m verifying placement as we think.

This case will be easy to solve, his prints are all over it!

Did you try calling the dude at Precision Transmission? Tons of videos on the tube. I'm wondering if you may have a torn clutch piston seal.

Took a break to eat a burger and fries... inside a restaurant!  

 

I am going out to test air pressure to each clutch pack to listen for air leaks internally.  I don’t believe I pulled the reverse piston to begin with.  Then again, I might have and don’t know it.  The instructions for the shift kit are quite vague.  The technicians are on the other hand very informative and helpful!

I tried some air tests without the valve body.  Everything clutch pack wise checks out.  They should, you can read the printing in the frictions still!

 

Next step, reassemble and check line pressure.  I have re-used the filter I have twice in the last two weeks.  Time for a new one, tomorrow.

It’s still on the hoist... need to clean some mess... but the tires spin both directions... when I want them to!

[Pullstart 59,846]

Well, after a drive to town, I can say there was an issue the first time, for sure!  The shifts are so much nicer, tow haul and everything works the way it should, lock up converter too!  I am a happy dude!

Sure is!  I checked on friends and family for an hour last night, the truck drives better and better as it goes!  I plowed a big long country driveway, a good 8”+ of hard packed junk.  Stuff like that, scraped right down clean, is why it’s the Cadillac!

Found a missing check ball,

 

If you found it, then it's not missing!

I found that a checkball (one word) was missing, but I had another blown transmission to beg steal and borrow from.  Sound more correcterer?  

[ebinmaine 63,308]

Yessirer

[Pullstart 59,846]

The only thing that bothers me, is the exhaust leak from a broken manifold bolt.  I suppose I’ll have to make the rest of the exhaust louder so I won’t hear the leak!

Here is the golf cart put back together.  It does look like fun 

 

 

Got a phone call the other day.  This guy sold this cart and after a short time of using a side by side, is looking to build another.  I should take delivery of it on Friday for cage work.  Time to pull out the bender and clean up the dies!

[Pullstart 59,846]

I have visual progress on the golf cart cage!

 

 

[Pullstart 59,846]

I have the hoops bent, plates cut, one side tacked together.

 

 

maybe I should build a round tube subframe for the dump box Wheel Horse project...

I’m up to date with the build in this one.  The bumper and cage are tacked together.  I’m awaiting approval from the customer before proceeding.

I received confirmation from the owner on the windshield tab dimensions.  We went from finding a windshield and me building the opening according to that, to “do whatever looks good.”  He’ll opt for a blank piece of lexan.  He’s concerned about the budget, but asked if I can whip up some side step / nerf bars if I feel like it.
