I've been having problems with 1-2 shuttle shift and no TC lockup. I cured the 1-2 shuttle by adjusting my TV cable, in diagnosing my "no TC lockup", Bill(DTT) asked me to install a lockup switch.

I purchased two toggle switches and two 10 ohm resitors, I will tap into #6(3-4) and #7(tc lock) and will install these in the next couple of days.

While under my truck doing a "preview", I noticed the usual drips of fluid on my DD tranny pan. I attributed the drips to the o-ring gasket (been told they leak and I should replace with a "standard" gasket). After locating the correct electrical plug for the chore at hand, I noticed this also is covered in fluid and it appears to be seeping out from around the front band adjustment locknut and stud. I wiped this all dry, and when I got back from the store it was again wet around the adjustment nut...

Any ideas why this may be leaking? Something internal causing my TC lockup problems and this? (FYI about 6 yrs but only 16k since DTT rebuilt).

Thanks, Jess

 

I installed both switches this morning, both work great. What I did notice, was my transmission was operating correctly, TC locking, all good, before I ever operated the switches??

When I unplugged the connector to the tranny, to do the splices, it was completely saturated with fluid, dripping out of the pin holes, I cleaned this all up. Could this have been causing some of the wierd behavior?

After adjusting my TV cable, the trans was holding each gear a bit longer than I liked. Since you can only adjust the TV cable on 03's 1/8" at a time, I was able to split that distance, by bending the bracket that holds the TV cable at the transmission forward 1/16".

All is good as far as tranny behavior, now I need to figure out how to stop the leak at the front band adjustment locknut/stud, and why it's leaking, any ideas?
