Re: Tci Tcu Questions
I did search for a bench-test method for the manifold , but found nothing in the million pages that google showed me for each different way I thought it could have been worded. After looking at it for a while , I decided to test continuity from one side of the contact to the other while pressing down with an eraser head . Each one made contact and beeped when pressed. I even tested each one twice to be certain . It feels good that I at least ruled out something :tup:
When I removed the manifold and looked at it , there was a little gunk (light buildup but not caked on) on 4 of the 5 contacts (microscopic pieces similar to what i see stuck to the pan magnet). The prnd43 had the most and prnd4 was almost as bad . There was only a little on the rev and d4 . Low was almost spotless .
Looking through the old trans fluid I did see 1 good size flake/chip and figured while I am in here I might as well double check everything .I going out now to remove the entire valve body . I want to make sure the 1-2 valve isnt stuck or that there are any shavings from the hd2 install jamming up somewhere . Once those 2 things are verified , I am going to put it all back together and move forward from there .
Wish me luck .
