(MIL) must be on indicating codes. To retrieve codes turn key to ON posi-

The pressure switch is used to signal the manual valve position to

the PCM. Fluids are routed to the pressure switch depending on
manual valve position where they open and close the individual
pressure switches. This provides a signal to the PCM indicating the
gear range position of the manual valve. The combination of open
and closed switches determines the voltage present at the three
pins P R N in the connector. An open circuit measures 12 volts and
a grounded circuit measures 0 volts. Refer to

Electrical

Temperature Sensor (resistor)

Terminals

Transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is a negative thermis-

tor that is a part of the pressure switch. The TFT sensor controls sig-
nal voltage from the PCM. The PCM sends a 5 volts reference sig-
nal to the sensor on TFT sensor signal circuit, when sensor is cold
sensor resistance is high and PCM detects high signal voltage. As
transmission fluid temperature increases, sensor resistance de-
creases and voltage decreases. At normal operating temperatures of
212 F. (100 C) voltage is about 1.5 2 volts.
The PCM measures this voltage to help control TCC apply and line
pressure. The PCM inhibits TCC apply until transmission fluid
reaches 84 F. When fluid temperature exceeds 275 F the PCM
commands TCC apply at all times in fourth.
Note: Applying TCC reduces fluid temperatures created by the fluid
coupling in the converter.

LISTEN UP: As a matching set install the This side up

Boost Springs, the original bottom and top
pressure plate and the original snap ring.
By using thinner friction and steel as many
as 8 friction can be installed.
If for any reason you do use the boost
springs and matching parts, you must install
Special Spring Set: T-Go 7-CS
Boost Springs

3-4 Clutch

Forward Clutch

Overrun Clutch

If Boost springs are not used

install Special T-Go Springs
made for High RPM and any
clutch stack height.
3-4 clutch piston return springs.

Boost springs are necessary to prevent centrifugal apply above 5000 rpm.
82 to 85 models did not have these springs and that is one reason you find the 3-4
clutches blacked out. Injected engines should always have boost springs, and for revs
above 5500 the T-Go 7-CS springs should be installed.
700s and 93 and 94 4L60Es in police and taxis use make a lot of 3-2 downshifts. In-
stalling the 7-CS kit will greatly increase 3-4 clutch life. Order TransGo part 7-CS.

Forward Sprag

With inner race held, the

outer race should freewheel
in the direction of arrow.

Sprag installed backwards will cause

no movement in D4 or D3. It will start
off in L2 position or low. Backwards or
stick, it will lock down on the 3-4 shift
burning the band.

Hold support, inner

race should free-
wheel in the direc-
tion of the arrow.

One-way clutches must freewheel in the

proper direction and lock in the proper direc-
tion. They should also be checked for spring
load or tension. While rotating the races in the
freewheel direction they should have some
drag. This is checking the springs that load the
roller or strut. There should be some drag in
the freewheel direction.

Torque Converter

Converter (Late Graphitic PWM Style)

Dampener assemblies were beefed

up and had additional rivets.

The graphitic lining is

rough and porous.
Lockup piston friction lining is differ-
erent. The on-off lockup system uses
a Kevlar type paper lining. PWM
lockup systems use a Graphitic type
of friction material. This system
brought about additional heat and
much more converter slip codes. Us-
ing a Kevlar paper lining with this
regulated converter apply oil (PWM
slip) strategy resulted in early failure.

Lockup plate has approx. 5/8 bulge to
5/8 Bulge Bulge
accommodate the larger six spring
damper assembly. Notice more rivets
added.

Note: Dont waste this core on early models, this core is hard to come by.

1999 converter lockup plates use a woven

graphitic lining that can be partially applied
(slip) and still resist burn-up.
The lockup strategy with this type of lining
will allows a 30-50 RPM slip at cruising speeds.
With out fixing the Valve Body with SK Kit in-
stallation of converter with other type of lining
can cause complaints.
With SK Kit installed the light throttle and
cruise slip is discontinued so that any type of
lockup plate lining works just fine.
This means its OK to use a 700 converter.
Identification: 99 converter has a large bulge
approx. 5/8 on the front cover. 99 up convert-
ers are not interchangeable with earlier units.

Technology and Ethics

The Technology IS the Ethic

If the sign on the building or any advertis-
ing says, Transmissions that is declara-
tion to the Universe that you know how to
fix them.
When a product or service is offered, the
offer itself is a specific claim by the seller
that he is accepting the MORAL and
TECHNICAL responsibility for correct
function, for a reasonable length of time,
in exchange for money.

Regardless what you may call your repair,

the job is in your shop to have the com-
plaints and failures corrected. It doesnt
matter how honest you are, as a person, if
you do not fix the causes of the com-
plaints and failures where is the ethic?

Each transmission develops 3 to 5 com-

plaints and failures you see over and over
again and again.

A service is ethical and deserving to the

exact extent that your service corrects the
causes of those complaints and failures;
and does not include a whole bunch of
parts that were not needed.

No more and no less,

Current information can only reach you
thru the senses of perception-Seeing-
Hearing-Tasting-Smelling and Touching.
Your brain mixes current information with
the total of your experience and forms an
opinion. [A guess with common sense]
Your opinion or guess is made 8 times
more accurate by attaching a pressure
gauge. With a scanner your opinion will
get 4 times more accurate. Both: Is 8x4=
32 times more accurate.
Because a scanner hooks up fast the
tendency is to use it more and gauge less.
1.A scanner will tell you what the trans
should be doing. A gauge tells you
what it IS doing.
2.A gauge will ALWAYS tell when you
need a scanner, but a scanner will not
always tell you need a gauge.
3.Its 50 years later and a gauge is still the
champ.
Why is the gauge still champ?
Because a gauge will tell you if pressure
rise is working and scanner will only tell
you if it is being commanded.
Why is knowing that so Important?
Time, Time, Your time, Shops time and
Shops Stress. Time spent working on a
slip, shifting or lockup is totally wasted un-
til you KNOW pressure rise is working.
You should read this 3 times-OUT LOUD.
54
Checking Pressure Rise
Never work on a slip, shift or lockup
complaint without Seeing if Pres-
sure Rise is, or isn't OK.
Attach Pressure Gauge; Place se-
lector in D.
Pressure must be above minimum
listed for the trans. If below min,
[worn pump or very hot, bring RPM
up a couple hundred rpm above
idle with the throttle. If min in D
and R is attained at 800 rpm,
pump is usually OK even if worn.
At idle, or 800 rpm if needed,
record the pressure in every selec-
tor position.
With that record as your reference
there is 3 Questions to ask.
1.Does pressure change by selec-
tor range?
2.Does it change with more throttle.
3.Does it go max with no Volts?
REV:: 30 to 50 lbs more than D.
When throttle is added, in Reverse,
Pressure Must increase at least an-
other 100 lbs.
[Exceptions are 60442LE]
WWW.ALL-TRANS.BY

FORWARD: Many transs com- Why Pressure rise is so important?

mand more pressure in 2 or 1. At
idle or prox 800 move selector to 2
and then 1. If pressure goes up ei-
ther or both places, that is evidence
that PR is OK. If it stays the same
it is still OK. If it is less in 2 or 1,
that would indicate a leak to a fric-
tion unit.
With Selector in D: Apply Foot
brake, add throttle. Pressure
should at least double between idle
and just under stall [1500-2200
rpm]. [Exception is Torqueflite
which goes up 50%]
With Selector in D: While driving
50up mph Lift throttle which should
bring pressure to min. Then turn
the key off momentarily and back
on again. While the key is off pres-
sure should jump instantly to max.,
then back down to min when the
key is turned back on.
If its not working: Low pressure, it
will burn clutches with just a few
hard throttle shifts.
If its not working, High pressure,
itll burn up gear train, for lack of
lube, or destroy pump.
