I come to ask the best..
turbo 350 12k miles on the rebuild.
it has a trans go TH350 1+2 kit in it..
I set it up with the FIRM 1-2 shift and left 2-3 stock for towing.
it has worked perfect for 12k miles,, shifted 1-2 to hard really......
one day, i went out and fired it up and the 1-2 shift is soft kinda like stock.. no bang/chirp..
its full of fluid,, dont stink, nice and pink..never been hot, but driven hard and put away wet so to speak.
first gear is solid,, spins the tires,, let it shift to second,, still solid spins the tires.
2-3 is normal like always..
1-2 shift kinda slides to 2nd,, not really? but not bark the tires like it used to...
shifter in 1st, run it up, manuly shift to second and its there not slipping, run it up, shift to 3rd, no slip...
not a single leak anywhere ever...
i want to fix it before i totaly F it up....
something aint right.....
something stuck? maybe a broken spring? under the valve body? acumulator spring broken?
trans dont make any noise,, except for normal first gear whine...

Any idea's as to what i might have broke?

i havent pulled the pan or investigated yet its only 30 out there,, it goes to zero every night, so the ground is frozen solid..

laying on the frozen tundra and taking a fluid bath is the furthest from my mind.....

Well? looks like its gotta come out..
pulled the pan finally, nice warm day..
And i found that the intermedate band came apart and was all laying on top of the filter pluging it up..
no chunks or pieces/shavings of trans mission found......
kinda looks like the band has ground on the hub,, metal to metal.......
rebuild time.......
with my luck though,, im pretty sure i will find cracked and broken parts of some kind...
ive got EXTRA th350's.. so hard parts shouldn't be a problem......

?? now where to get a master kit from?with bushings also..
like cheap? im the poorest person on this site/that you Know...
but its gotta be a top notch kit..
400-425 ish hp k10 4x4,, and it gets driven hard,, but never abused,, cost to much to fix **** anymore and on top of it,, IM GETTING to old for this ****.....lol...
where is hot rod? got a question or 2 for um?
Ever use a 700r4 center support in a th350?
