Turbo350 Tranny Question
A Buddy of mine was changing the fluid/filter in his 350 tranny Sat. Once he removed the old filter he was reaching for a rag and someting fell into the drain pan. Once fished out it was a cylindrical piece of machined metal (part) that is about 1'' long by 1/4'' in dia.
He has no idea where it goes. He can find a hole that it fits into but it won't stay there. There is also a vacant hole that has a spring that goes across in the hole itself. He claims he couldn't put back the piece there because of the spring. Does anyone have any idea what this part may be or where it might go??? And, if he cannot find out what to do with the part, what does a person do with a truck up on jacks? Does he put it back together and hope for the best? Any ideas??? Thanks in advance |

Cannot think of anything inside a 350 trans that matches that description, especially by just removing the filter. Got a pic?

Re: Turbo350 Tranny Question
I could be wrong, but it sounds like the detent cam piece. Does the detent, or shifter, still click as your changing gears?

Re: Turbo350 Tranny Question
I don't know if it does or not. I will ask my buddy to check and see.
Thanks |

Re: Turbo350 Tranny Question
Is it the tube for the filter. I know some of these trannies (not the cross dressers) haha.... anyways I understand that on some models there is a tube that goes between the filter and the valve body. Other than that, a piece falling out is a sign that a trip to the trans shop is in order to be safe.
