ok so i swapped in a built 350 thats bolted up to my all stock turbo 350 trans after a day and a half the tranny started slipping is there anything i can do to make it slip less tell i have the money to rebuild it its my daily driver the truck is a 67 chevy swc lwb with a 71 frame

not to be a smart A... but did you double check the fluid level?
If thats good, I guess you can tru any one of the fluid additive things, they are bad news on a good tranny, but since it is already junk, it can't hurt.

[Big_Chevy_man]

fluid levels toppped off and already have lucas in it if only it would hook up better at ilde it be much better off once its around 10 mph i can fether the trottle to get some speed but it takes for ever to get to 10mph

Did you remember to put the bolts through the flywheel into the torque converter? I really dont know what happens if you don't, but that could be why it is all of the sudden bad.?>? I guess?

It would have never moved if he forgot to bolt the flywheel to the converter.

Sounds like the trans needs some help.

Sawdust in the tranny? It's an old used car lot scam trick I learned about when searching for a car at the we tote the notes. It will make your tranny fail eventually, (probably sooner rather than later). But maybe it can get you back and forth to work for a few days, maybe. I am not advocating sawdust in the tranny, but I've seen it done. And no I've never done it to anyone, just almost had it done to me twice when I was young.

Did you completely fill up the torque convertor with fluid when you put the tranny on? Also make sure you seated the torque convertor all the way before you bolt it to the fly wheel. If not, and you tightened up the torque convertor without it being seated all the way you may have broken or cracked the sun shell. I've done that before, too.

Not the symptoms he is describing, but will a broken sun shell cause 2nd and 3rd to go away? Like when it shifts out of first, it's in neutral. When the rpms go back down, first will catch again.

Sounds like you might have forgotten to put the rock under the accelerator. J/K, I hope you get it fixed.
