what would cause the trans to be over full other than me over filling it? (i did not).
also any good builders in the portland, or. vancouver, wa area? don't need to pull the mountain down just a reliable stock rebuild.
thanks,

Tony Garcin (founder of Dunrite) seemed to think pretty highly of Larry and Son over on foster in PDX. Unfortunately Tony passed away about 3 years ago so I can't ask him anymore.

 

thanks for the info russ.

update,
took it to a shop and the also said second gear is gone. ugh.
told them to park it outside and i will come and get it after work.
picked up the truck and she shifts fine now. babied it she shifted fine. drove it like i stole it she shifts fine.
drove it to work most of the week and she shifted fine.
going to tow the boat up to the lake this weekend so we shall see.

anybody else have any ideas about the issue?

 

I hope she keeps running for ya. I have over 192,000 miles on mine and only have a Dunrite VB and otherwise original tranny. I have slipped the convertor 4 or 5 times the last couple years but what really bothered me was this summer coming over Hood in the heat and it was not holding 100% anymore. Not a good sign but I hope to baby it until next summer. Wish Tony was still here so I could ask about yours and he was going to help with mine when the time came. On my own now.

 

drove t to work all last week and towed the boat this past weekend. she shifted fine. ***? lol
