Velvet Drive...Not so Velvety...

when i removed the cable from the lever arm and shifted manually I still had the clunk and didn't notice and increase in RPM.

Well it was worth a shot, but we turn you back over to the tranny doctor.

no one is going to bite at the Oil pumps dont create pressure comment?
he did say he disconnected the linkage at the trans and tried shifting with the same results. sometimes when you do pull the dampner it will look as if there is no damage, common mistake if you dont replace and you still have the noise, the springs will weaken and transfer the noise or clunk,
replace and that should repair the clunk problem.
Now you need to put a gauge in the port where the temp sending unit is and take the readings, they should be equal in forward as they are in reverse. and the gauge needle should move quickly to full pressure, the same is true to the prior statement..equal for both circuits, no lag

pressure charts (and they dont lie)

neutral 600rpm's 115psi to 135psi
reverse 600 rpm's 120 to 140
        2000 rpms 125 to 160
        3500 not used,
forward 600 rpm 115 to 140
        2000 rpms 125 to 160
        3500 rpm's 135 to 180
pressures should be checked at 140 degrees
if they are not within these ranges or your shift is lagging, there is an internal problem with the trans,

typically about 30 percent of Borg Warner failures are snapped reverse clutch plates and the 2 main reasons they snap are: 1-torsional problem..engine miss, bad damper,to high of a shift
2- plates are made from brass, to alleviate the brass problem, i use a steel hubbed reverse plate
thats why I always mention if anyone can, switching to a 10-17-003 or 004, it utilizes 2 reverse clutch plates instead of 1 like the AS1 series but....they still snap

750.00 ish

alright, i'll think about this for the next 2 months and decide what to do. I may be driving down your way in march...only a 3 hour drive...

also, emily appreciates all the "positive feedback"...

which one do you have?

so, where is the best place to get a new damper plate?? Ski DIM??

You're kidding...this thread is about your damper plate?
