CY & CX 400THM: differences & similarities

[mockingbird812]

Jeff - should it be more serious I have a friend who you could trust to fix your tranny. He is in my neighborhood, is a retired GM Proving Grounds Auto Tranny expert with beauceaup experience with 400s, and an excellent reputation. He has a complete shop on his property. Let me know. Good luck.

I may pull the tranny. when I bought it, I had all the fluids changed and a tune-up. the guy changed the tranny filter and althought the fluid was old he didnt notice any fragments from the clutch pack or metal in the pan. I may contact you about your tranny man. I have also heard good things about Mike's Trans in Lancaster, Ca. thanks for both of your imputs...I was trying to avoid pulling the tranny but I guess I cant get around it.

An easy check, and probably not the case (but learned by experience), make sure you have the correct pickup tube if it has a deep pan on it...doesn't sound like a modulator problem, sounds more like a hard part...but I'm no tranny guy by any means!

this may be a good lead. I noticed the ccar didnt have it's original tranny pan...it looks deeper than stock and it's finned. maybe they didnt make the adjustment on the pan depth? if this is the case, could it cause some of the problems that I'm experiencing? My buddy that did the tune-up swears these tranny are bullet proof and it had to be something simple...especially since he saw no signs of metal or clutch schmegma in the pan or filter when he changed it. I'll try it. thanks, I hope it helps.

If you have to pull it...bring it out this way. It'll give you a chance to hook up with Sam and me...heck, I'll spring for a barbeque at my place...

I went home at lunch and started thinking about trying to pull the motor and tranny myself. The motor is fine but I might as well do a little detailing while it's out. You may see me sooner than later...crank up the barbie!

It's indeed a long shot, but I learned the hard way...just wish I'd learned *before* driving all the way to Norwalk!

Jeff- you may wish to call my friend and bounce your symptoms off of him over the phone. Rick @ 480.987-3756. Tell him his neighbor, Sam, sent you.
