    TH400 Won't Shift

    Very Available Vacuum Pump Fix: Cardone 641023 (or 64-1023). I used a 5% discount code at Rockauto and forfeited my core charge for a total cost just under $100 shipped (October 2023). The pod is a direct swap. When you remove the pod, it will dump about a fluid ounce of oil, so be ready for...

    TH400 Won't Shift

    When I unplugged the switch and bypassed the throttle control on the IP, it started shifting properly. Anybody who knows what that means is probably cringing right now, but it matched my budget, so that's how I drove it for a month. It started shifting at redline again today, so my intuition is...

    TH400 Won't Shift

    Replaced all the topside rubber when I did the IP. Rockauto didn't offer B&M, so I searched up the part number on eBay, but they sent me a Rostra single red stripe. By this point in time, we've got layers upon layers of superseded part numbers. Ordering parts feels like gambling. One thing I've...

    TH400 Won't Shift

    @Tow4 - I finally got around to messing with it again today and when I pulled the vac hose, it had a bunch of crap in the end of it. Rat's nest stuffing from the look of it. I guess not particularly surprising given I cleaned a big nest out from under the manifold when I R&R'd the IP, but I do...

    TH400 Won't Shift

    I don't doubt it, but I'd like to be comfortable driving faster than 50 MPH.

    TH400 Won't Shift

    All new vac hose since I R&R'd the IP recently. The pump sticks the hose to my fingertip. Per the TM, I unplugged the sensor and it started hunting 2nd, but won't shift into 3rd. Since reverse was lazy and IIRC, it shares a band or clutch or something with 3rd, I'm guessing doing 4-wheel...

    TH400 Won't Shift

    R&R'd modulator. No effect. I thought @chevymike wanted me to install a rubber hose from the modulator all the way to the vacuum pump, maybe because hard line cracking is a known issue or something. Y'all are the experts here, not me. It only just dawned on me that I can do a simple bypass at...

    TH400 Won't Shift

    I do recall once upon a blue moon flattening nails to put drum brakes back together. I'm pretty limited as to what I can accomplish at present, but things will improve with time.

    TH400 Won't Shift

    Engine runs fine. First and reverse normal. Intermittently shifted high. Attempted to adjust shift points at IP. No effect. Took it for some hard wheeling for the first time yesterday morning. It stopped shifting into third last night. Wouldn't shift at all this morning. I did not dismantle the...
