Well I put my new tranny in yesterday. It does leak a little oil, but that's the chance you take buying used. :/ But I put my Lnf tranny mounts, and I put my lnf turbo shifter cable on. Well my reverse lockout doesn't work anymore. It just goes into reverse , without lifting the lockout ? Also car is a little harder to get into 5th gear ? What could it be? thanks.

bump!

anyone might have a idea?

 

I believe the actual lockout is located inside the shifter itself, so the cables shouldn't really have anything to do with why it no longer locks out. Have you started the car yet? Does it seem to go into all the gears (including reverse) with no issues aside for the lockout not engaging?

 

that's funny. maybe the cable adjust is off? i have those upgraded parts too

 

I have started the car. Drove it around also. It goes threw all the gears great, expect 5th. 5th takes a little more effort. Not 100% sure if that was how it was before I changed the tranny or not. And it goes into reverse nicely with almost no effort .

 

Shift cables need to be adjusted.

Where's the transmission leaking from? Could be axle seals.

 

It seems like its leaking from were the bellhousing, meets with the case of the tranny. Ill be putting the car back up on jackstands, and make sure its not axle seals.

 

You guys say they need to be adjusted . How would I go about doing that?

 

If its leaking from the bell housing its coming back off lol. TOB is fubard or you forgot to tighten it to the clutch pipe properly.

 

To adjust the cables just pull out the cup holders. The adjustment clips are in there. I highly doubt adjust thing the cables will fix the lockout issue, but it's worth a shot.

As far as the leak goes, he said it's coming from where the bell housing meets the trans, not where it meets the engine. There's a seam there that can leak trans fluid. As long as the fluid is red, it's not hydraulic fluid.

 

It was my mistake. Wasn't tranny fluid . Its clutch fluid. Its the thing that is a T on top of the tranny, its leaking ! My clutch feels perfect, but its leaking from there. What is it called.

 

This is what im talking about , this is leaking.

 

bump.

 

Anyone know what that is ! ^ Ive been looking on google, and threw here, and haven't seen anything that looks like it. It connects to the piping going to the tob. Id like to know by tonight, so I can call up Gm tomorrow, and see if they have any in stock, and if not order one.

 

That's the clutch line block. Make sure you don't have 2 of those little black seals where the block goes into the bellhousing. I've done that and it leaked how yours is.

 

Ok. Thankyou sir!

 

That's leaking? That's the distribution block (aka clutch pipe elbow). Remove it and make sure that the top of the clutch pipe looks like this....



Sometimes they can inadvertently get stuck in the elbow itself upon removal and get lost in the mix. If that's not the case then double check the bleeder port and put a hand vacuum pump on it to make sure it holds pressure. I actually had one go bad on me one time a while back and the clutch kept going air bound and leaking because of it.

That unfortunately still doesn't resolve your reverse lockout issue though.. lol

 

Thanks alot man, you guys have been a big help. I noticed the shaft of the 5 speed, is toward's the left (drivers side) . I belive it was center before i pulled it, causing me not having the lockout anymore . I dont mind it without lockout, but kind of bugs me that i cant figure out why its doing it.
