So i bought an ats valve body for dirt cheap, guy i bought it off of had issues but tore his oem one and this one down, found no noticable issues. but he just bought a shift kit and sold me his ats. NOW, months later i throw it in and back it out, goes into reverse HARD, put it into drive and it felt like nothing, gave it some gas and it rolled forward then banged into gear with addition revs. go up the street and i only have first gear... Any clues?! ill be putting a guage up to it once i figure out what numbers i looking for...

 

nobody?

 

not enough fluid?

have you taken it to a tranny shop yet?

 

sounds like it might have some junk silinoids, had this problem with a beefed up rebuilt suncoast v/b for my 05 maxima..had to send it back to them twice before i got one that actualy worked proper!! see if you can get someone to test it on a diag. machine..

 

i was really hoping to do it all myself... someone told me it sounds like sticking valves, ill be tearing it down once the transmission comes out. where in mass are you? havent seen many people on here from here!

 

i didnt even notice you were from mass.. im in newbedford.. you.?

 

im over in middleton

youre on the other side of the planet man haha

 

nah not to far away ive actualy done a couple sewer projects up that way woburn- north reading maybe 1hr20 dep on traffic.. but let us know how you end up on that V/b

 

So i dug into it and found two things. First off one of the valves were sticking a bit. Second, the mid section had different porting, it had major differences in the passages so im going to swap the stock mid section and seperator plate with the ats section and hope for the best. I'm pretty confident that's the issue
