Tranny pulled! Victorious!

[rwright07]

well i finally got my transmission out, drained, and strapped to a pallet ready to ship for warrantee work. wasnt too bad, but will certainly go much faster next time around.

i ruined my TV cable while pulling it though, and im not sure how to replace it, (diesel for referance) i thinks it is still called the TV cable on a diesel--- it goes from Throttle to vacuum modulator

should have taken pictures, it was cool to run the engine with no tranny hump trans or tcase, being able to look at the flexplate spin....

what should it cost to ship a th400 from central coast CA to western WA?

any ideas or people making the trip soon?

If it's a TH400, it has a vacuum modulator, which just has a vacuum line going from the modulator to the throttle thing. You CAN replace it with rubber vacuum hose (BAD idea!) like the PO of one of my trucks did ... or you can use rubber on the ends, and bend up a 1/4" or so hard line (brake line, fuel line, same thing) you get at the parts place.

The TV *cable* is like a throttle cable, IIRC, on the TH700R4's ... and the downshift cable is like that for TH350's.

Turbo 400's just have the electric downshift hooked to your pedal and going to the solenoid thing on the driver's side.

i no its a vacuum modulator, but i have a diesel = no engine vacuum, so on the diesel models there is a cable from the throttle to the modulator to create vacuum

i guess it may not be called a TV cable, but i need to figure out how to replace it

Yeah, the diesels -- at least the one I had -- have a vacuum pump where the distributor would be on a gasser.

Point being it's not a cable, so it's just a vacuum line. Use hardline as much as you can and run rubber for the rest of it.
