Great ideas from every one. Thank you. Fall of 2014 my Transmission stopped going into 2nd & high gear while coming down the return road after a pass down the track. I pulled it out and brought it to my tranny guy. When he pulled it apart, he found that most of the "Lugs" in the case were stripped and the high gear drum surface was badly scored . I brought him another turbo 400 to use so he could make one good one out of the two trannys. He used the case and high gear drum from the second tranny but all other internals from the original transmission were good so he re-used them. I'm wondering if he removed the passage in the case for the trans brake and drilled the hole in the drum of the second tranny I brought him to use. Also wondering if he used all the springs that were in my original trans that came with the valve body kit from TCI for the trans brake solenoid valve, direct high gear clutch pack and pressure regulator? I just printed off the instructions from TCI for the valve body kit and I am going to bring them to him. Hopefully he remembers if he swapped all these key components and did the modifications to the case and drum! I know that's a big if but its a start. I might just end up bringing it to Jack Sepanek in PA to rebuild it. Several people highly recommend his work. Only problem is that he is 4 hours away from my house. Again thanks for all the advice and suggestions. It sure is nice knowing there are people out there willing to help.
