Re: Auto. Trans Problem



The valve body does not control the line pressure, that is controled 
by the vacum modulater. When you are reading the line pressure it is 
the output pressure directly out of the fluid pump. The main causes 
for a low fluid pressure are the following:
low fluid level (air gets into the fluid)
bad pump (can't pump high enough pressures due to worn clearances)
A RESTRICTION IN THE SUCTION ie: a bad, or plugged up filter or maybe 
you just put the gasket in wrong and are blocking the intake.
If you have driven the car at a low line pressure and slipped the 
clutches then they will need to be replaced again. If there is 
friction materiel in the pan again you wiped out c-1. Another remote 
possibility is a restricted hose or the cooler is plugged up. This can 
be tested by making a bypass test hose in and out of the trans. Do not 
run too long like that or you will overheat the trans quickly but you 
should be able to do it long enough for testing purposes.
