I’m glad you informed us of your experience with all the trucks you owned so I have a question or two.
Since you have so many miles on these transmissions, you stated you can get 32,000 miles out of a transmission. What in the transmission wears out (seals, clutch plates or pumps) and can you...
Sorry guys
I miss read a couple of threads and thought some of you were trying to adjust the timing to smooth out the shifting jerk you get going from 2nd to 3rd. BUT when ever you do adjust the timing, make sure to check your engine rpm and shift chart to make sure you are still with in the...
I know this is an old thread, but do to the latest responses I had to say something here.
Please do not adjust your timing or any other adjustments to compensate the shifting jolt you get from 2nd to 3rd. Here's why,
The two torus halves (drive torus) and (driven torus) separate the main...
Power point
Well I started the rebuild of the transmission, for those of you who want to follow along you can, I will be posting a power point presentation now and then on the different sections of the transmission. If you have any problems along the way, don't hesitate to call or email me...
I got a set of these for Christmas from my girlfriend, she got these form Saturn Surplus. I know they're not original but I like to see behind me.

Safety and the manual
We are going to start this project very soon and this is a good time to mention a few things about safety and the manuals.
1st safety,
The reduction section in this transmission has a pre loaded accumulator. It consists of two springs, the outer spring free length is...
RE: tranny fluid
I'm glad you responded David, you have great access to Aberdeen, but again the question arises.
Even though the Army went with the non detergent motor to ease the POL supply problem. According to the reports you have on hand from Aberdeen, how did the two different oils...
This cutaway is HIGH Reverse
With the understanding at every speed (RPM) Reduction section in this transmission, we have a Torque value increase respectfully. So in other words as we reduce speed (RPMS) at each step of this transmission, we gain torque force respectfully. So basically in...
I'm sorry, after rereading my very breif explaintion of HI reverse, I feel I should have presented it in a more professional way so here we go.
This cutaway is LOW Reverse
Go back and read the reverse section and reduction section on page 2. You have to have a full understanding of how...
RE: tranny fluid
Frank this debate is an ongoing debate and will never be solved, the easiest way to determine what type of oil you need is to answer one question. Does my transmission work properly? If you answered yes, your tramsmission does not slip, shifts properly and does not make an...
Here might be a better way to copy the pages, sorry I put it on power point, it's good if you have to teach a class but to use it as a down load site, its not the best.
Go to this link, tell me which one you like the best.

Thanks Steve
videos & Photos of rebuilding transmission
Sorry it took me awhile to get this all worked out, I made a video of just the drive line section showing just the drive-line. This video is a working format of the cutaways that I have shown you earlier on this thread.
So the easiest way for me to do...
I hate to be bearer of bad news but the majority of the problems with the manifolds are just due to the cycle rate and age of the manifolds.
First cycle rate – the number of times the manifold has been heated and cooled. Every time a manifold heats and cools some portions of the manifold...
I’m sorry this on PPT, but it’s the only way I know how to send it. If anyone has a better way of posting something like this, please let me know. Also feel free to copy, repost in a friendlier manner, or what ever you want to do with this. All my post is for everyone to use to how ever they...
I got this on Power Point, but to put the whole manual TM9 - 1826D in one presentation was too big to put here as one. SO I broke it down into three sections:
1st section is Description and Operation.
2nd section is Disassembly
3rd section is Inspection and Assembly
I was going to take photos...
