could be a 08 Impala SS

Tis true Scott!!!!

Nothing is eva easy Doug, whole tranmission is out needs to be cleaned/fixed/etc...All I know is I just CAN'T WAIT to get it back!!!! lol

Joe

good to hear Joe.

hope all goes well

Tommy called it! Planetary gears. Glad it's back together Joe, Now try not breaking it again! LOL!

Cool Joe, gald to hear its fixed!!

Still hoping you can make it out to LI tonight, if not some of us will see you next weekend.

Does this mean your taking the monte to DE?

Remember if something does happen to it while going there I will have the trailer.

Glad the car is finished and you can cruise it again. He may have put an 08 in it. They still use the same tranny for the Impala SS trany.

Here's a few pics of the parts tha caused Joe so much grief!

Thanks everyone! It's good to have the Monte back under it's own power, and once again Thank You to everyone who made this happen! Much Appreciated...

Rob Dynotech is on it's last leg, most don't even know it's still in exhistance, it has been 2 years and without Eric there, I high doubt they'd give me a dime back...Oh well water under the bridge...

We shall see about Cecil and the monte...

One cool thing is ecs has the latest state of the art technology that actually takes a picture of the person driving the car when the worst of it happened...here's a scan of what they sent me:



HA JUST KIDDING DAVE!!!! lmao...sorry I had toooo...lol...

Joe

WOW, Joe I've seen that kind of damage before. You'll need to have your whole car checked out now.
That damage was caused by carbide toothed termites, you may have a nest of them in there. Probably hid in the turbo and started branching out from there.

Best advice I can offer is to pull the turbo and intercooler out and send them to me. I'll thoroughly check them out for you.

I hope that dose not happen to mine now that Dave told me about turning off the traction control. Much better burn out that way!!

Yeah why listen to me, What do I know?

When I saw those gears I like shocked that it was all destroyed look like the tranny had a war going on in their between gears..

Hey ya gotta admit though, when I break things, I never go halfa$$ed with that either...lol...

so, Dave, what are you doing in a couple years... i may need you to dorve me '88 around so i can get a new drive train out of it lol

 Well if that's the case, then Dave was right, I was the one who broke the transmission, let me know when ya wanna give me thise keys...lol...

Joe

so I take it now that you found the yellow jacket no more cleaning the car until winter??? lol

Sitting out at my house for a week Joe, there is no telling what kind of little critters took up residence. Probably got a family of Daddy long Legs in there somewhere. They like to nest in the brakes and suspension. You'll know come spring.... nothing worse than driving down the road and have one drop down in front of you on a web.... BTDT, makes for a wild ride :)

so sad.. its a toss up for 2 tranny guys for me.. jimmy's or mike kurtz..

 

 

tim.. if you want easy disposal of your tires you can show me how to do a burn out. i have no clue how to do one

A friend of mine told me about this place after I went to ecs....If down the line I need one again, I may go with them....it's getting harder and harder to find people who do these cars, so that is definitely a keeper....

Joe

I'll give you $100 and a riding lawnmore for the Monte

(just seeing at what state of regaining your composure you are at )

As frustraiting as it is, it will never get to that point...I am coming up on the 10 year anniversary with the car and we still have a long lifetime toggether so who knows what the future holds, but regardless we are not parting ways....breathers and breaks from one another here and there but never parting ways....now if only I can type this about a girl, I'd be good to go....HA

Joe

Then we would have to find something else to pick on you about if you find that Girl..

 

Well some good/bad news..

I jinxed myself coming home from the party, car was running perfect, until a few blocks from my house I was at a light, turned green, went to go....and I was rolling out while the engine was revving High...finally the Transmission kicked in and I was off...then it seemed like the transmission was misshifting....I started to slow up, then everything became right again...back to normal shifting...put the car in the garage and I posted this on Clubgp....thinking either the transmission or possibly the PCM giving issues...

One guy responded and linked the place Scott told me about for transmissions

http://www.tripleedgeperformance.com/4T65E_Transmission_Info.html

I have a strong feeling this is my problem, which killed my transmission in the first place...and it seems like it's doing it again:



Neutrals at stops, Shudders on take off: One of the most common problems I have found after the milege gets over roughly 60K miles. The scenario.... You are driving in traffic for a while OR your car has sat for a while and is a cold startup. You put the car in Drive range and it wont move, or if driving you come up to a stop light and in heavy traffic and the light turns green and SUPRISE!!! You are holding up traffic with a car that wont go anywhere. The most common cause of this problem is a worn out inner surface of the Input clutch piston. I will post pics soon so you can better understand why it IS a real problem. Once the inner sealing area wears it can prevent the inner lip seal for the piston from sealing properly. You may find that revving th engine up will finally get the car to move and it will BANG into gear. This is because the pump in the transmission is working harder and moving more fluid thus allowing the added fluid to overcome the leak which prevented the clutch from either initially applying or staying applied. Another area of concern that causes this is a boost valve in the valve body, not near as common but it can cause this problem on a lessor scale. If a fluid/filter service has not been performed in a very long time then a very dirty or plugged up filter can add to problems as it because a major restriction. IF the filter is found to be very dirty on the inside, which can be verified by cutting open the filter, then there are other problems inside the transmission anyways and an overhaul is the only correct way to fix the problem.


Now I can only assume with a full transmission rebuild the worn out inner surface of the Input clutch piston would be replaced...but I can't see that part going in less then 4 months without a lot of use, no matter how I drive the car...

I will be calling up ECS soon, cause this is what I am experiening to the Tee, and before I blow up this transmission completely I would like to get it there under it's own power for them to look into it...Hopefully this fixes the issue and I can finally put it to rest....

The saga continues
Joe

Thats not cool! They just replaced all that didn't they?
