got the trans out this evening and got it torn down to the point where I could get reverse drum out and take that piston out, I also went ahead and got a new reverse servo piston too just to be sure...Just waiting till monday or tuesday to get that back together (my buddy in Columbus has the seal installer for the pistons)

HAHA, ya, we were out of town this weekend. I actually found out WHY I didn't have reverse...and this little nugget of knowledge is FREE....I changed from a cast reverse drum to the STAMPED steel reverse drum and Mechanical Diode (ratcheting one way clutch) with 2 inch overdrive band....

Well, at any rate, I was researching WTF was going on with no reverse and realize that the cast reverse drum requires a reverse piston with the casting numbers beginning with RF-E0 cast numbers, the stamped drums use RF-E9 or F0 cast numbers. So I run down to the garage and LO AND BEHOLD...I've got the cast reverse piston in my STAMPED reverse drum. NO BUENO!!! So I have the new piston with new seals ready to go as soon as I can get the seal installer tools from my buddy in Columbus tomorrow!!!

Hopefully I'll have this trans back in there in the next day or so.

Well trans was in and out 2 MORE times, got new pump, different valvebody, 2 different reverse servo pistons (first one would not aircheck), another set of intermediate clutches AND steels (clearances were off), and completely torn apart and air checked and FINALLY I have reverse..LOL

I took it out for a spin the other day and the tune leaves a little bit to be desired (my own doing) but I've got a chip in it for now just to move it around. I've got a tubular k-member and some new springs for coil-overs. In addition I may be changing some interior changes (different seats, entire center console from mustang and black mustang dash)

yup, I'm getting another oilpan from a buddy since mine is leaking BADLY from the turbo oil drain (-10), and swapping it in when I change to the Tubular K member...I can't wait to get it going FOR REAL!!!

Bad thing is with my work (landscaping) winding down, I'll have more time...but no $$$ LOL Dammit MAN!

Oilpan is fixed, tubular K-member is in, swapped the spacers around on my coilovers so I can get some more travel out of them (thinking they were bottoming out the way I had the spacers set), need to put bumpsteer kit on and then get some "freshened up" calipers on there. Got my new direct drum for trans in the other day and just waiting on the Alto red's and kolene steel kit to come in and the trans can be put back together.
