Quick help with my 46RE

Give it some time to see if it's happy and give an update lol.

Not a problem. That check valve is actually very commonly deleted because of issues like this. Lotta guys have been suckered into a rebuild when it's just a clogged check valve. Or it clogs and actually blows the trans.

What it does is keep fluid in the converter when you shut off the truck. The trans doesnt pump in park so if the valve wasnt there and you started it and tried to take off right away the converter would need to fill before the vehicle moved. However, if you start it and shift to neutral for 10-15seconds while you tune the radio, put on your seat belt, etc it's enough time. That's what most deleters do. However, shift kits replace the manual valve in the valvebody and allow pumping in park. Or if you just want to replac the manual valve it's fairly cheap from Sonnax but nobody ever wants to drop the valvebody to install it lol.

Well, like I said I bought the damned steels and soft bits, I'm expecting a rebuild in the next 50k km. I'll get a shift corrector kit to prevent future burnup, and the park valve replacement. If I get to it. It's heavy, man! Maybe I'll see how much the shop would charge, I completely forgot about that stupid crank sensor and knowing my luck I'll break the damned thing and be back here ********.

Update:

Went for another test drive today. This time, I went farther, getting up to 80 km/h. Everything shifts on time, when it's supposed to. More than a quarter throttle, O/D kicks in. Man 1, Man 2 work just fine.

I can only idle in reverse. Giving gas does nothing. I suspect my band is tightened properly, but the reverse drive pathway in the VB is either blocked up or something because it's strange to have all gears proper like but no throttle control in reverse.

I CAN back up. I just can't be backing up hill, I'm relying solely on idle power. Thoughts?
