    Thank you for showing everyone my build. It took some serious power. This is proof that even a mild transmission build without all the billet parts can and will survive for some time if built correctly. Hopefully, it gets all the billet goodies it needs for the next weakest link to be discovered.

    • @stevevsautomotive1998
      @stevevsautomotive1998 Před 5 dny

      Hey Bruce, it's not a mild transmission. It doesn't have a brake or billet front half(which is why it broke), calibration is on point for engine power as shown by the clutches. I took another apart from a well respected builder and his direct clutches looked no better than mine.

    Code for my BMW e34 reads "26 SOLENOID VALVE CONVERTER LOCKUP CLUTCH". Symptoms are that when cold, it goes into Trans Program (locked in 3rd gear, limp mode), shift lock doesn't function and the digital gear selection disappears from the dash display but when the engine warms up to operating temperature, all works fine again and shifts beautifully. Leads me to believe it isn't the solenoid. Can you point me in a direction?

      Can help identify a tight crank. Any bits of lint or crap that has become trapped could make the crank run tight, which will quickly destroy it. Most people just give it a spin with their hands and call it done though.

    Man, I legit just lucked into some ported aluminum heads, and I had to buy them right away. They need valve guides apparently but hopefully they work out for me. The availability for everything for these cars is getting ridiculous, cams are hard to get to. We are stuck with only 1 supplier for heads and intakes because of the low demand due the size of our market.
