Re: New transmission arrived today.

Sunday was a very sunny day here in N.E. Florida. A friend and I planned on trailering his Harley to my house for a quick spring tune up, before Bike Week.
I felt I finally had the 86 C20 ready to go for its first road test. I hooked up the small trailer (5X10) to pick up the bike on. I had to drive across town about 35 miles. My truck after reaching operating temperatures when I would lift off the throttle just the slightest the transmission would downshift. This is a speeds around 45-50 mph. Then if I tried to push on the transmission would start to slip. Meaning the rpm's would rise and the truck would not go. If I back the speed down and tried to cruise the transmission would shift in and out of gear. The max speed I was able to gain in all of this was 45 mph, then everything would just go crazy.
I'm just sick over this, the trans fluid is not burnt at this time. And by the temp gauge I haven't let the transmission overheat. I have been very easy on my break in of the engine and transmission, plus all the other new and rebuilt parts that I have used when putting the truck back together.

I sure hope TCI and there Warranty Department are on the ball. I have all my, stuff in order. I even took a line pressure test, but don't know if the numbers I have will help.
I thought I had everything covered. New radiator, new transmission cooler, new flywheel, all new mounts, new transmission lines. Nothing old.

But it could be worse. So tomorrow is another day. Ken
