Got the car back today, but not fixed yet. He ordered the parts he needs and they will be here next week. I will take the car back in after Memorial Day to have it finished.
To clear things up a bit. Everything is actually working properly except for manual low. Manual low does not engine brake, but as I apply the gas the RPMs go up and first gear smoothly engages and works normal. Sounds exactly like ScreamingChiefs description of the problem he once had.
My transmission guy is saying the rear band is not able to apply all the way in low 1, but in reverse it is. The flow is all there, but the band is not able to apply all the way because the apply rod is not long enough. I don't know if he is right, but I am going to let him give it a shot.
The shop is an actual automotive repair shop, not just transmissions.
This has been a problem from the very beginning...
