rriving this month are two separate, but related, publications: The 2009 Transmission Digest
Buyers Guide and the 2009 Transmission
Digest Powertrain Directory. At first similar, these are
two specific tools for your use. In this, the guide,
youll find an alphabetical listing of leading industry
suppliers (page 32) and an exhaustive listing of the
applicable products they supply to this marketplace
(page 43).
In the directory that was bagged with this guide,
youll find a similar listing of supplier companies
with sales, distribution and manufacturing branches
and key personnel listed as well. This is useful when,
for instance, youre looking for a nearby office for one
of the national distributors that serves the transmission aftermarket. A second list in the directory is an
alphabetical list of key personnel that these suppliers
wanted to list. Often youll find direct-dial telephone
numbers, toll-free numbers, e-mail addresses and
even cell-phone numbers. We suggest that the
Powertrain Industry Directory makes a great phone
book of the industry. I keep one on my desk year
round.
In all listings, U.S. addresses have been updated by
the United States Postal Service database and may
not directly reflect the addresses provided by the
suppliers. The postal database standardizes abbreviations and address structures according to USPS standards.
The traditional charts and graphs that come from
the annual Transmission Digest survey of reader shops
are, this year, in the Powertrain Industry Directory as
well.
Finally, this is a large undertaking for the people
here at Transmission Digest. We work very hard to
make sure every listing is presented accurately. That
said, please look at this column in the May issue for
any corrections or updates that have been brought to
our attention.

Sorting Out the

Speed Signals

eres a diagnostic situation that


can sometimes lead us around
in circles. On a 2001 Lexus
RX300 AWD, we had a DTC P0500 and
no speedometer operation, and the
Check Engine and Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC) lights were on.
Why can it sometimes lead us in circles? Because its not your normal vehicle-speed-signal theory of operation.
It takes three different types of signals
to end up with what the modules need
to see for them to all be happy, function properly and not set codes.
One of the first things to focus on is
the actual meaning of the DTC P0500
for this vehicle, which is no speed signal sent to the powertrain control module (PCM). On the original road test,
we verified the symptoms mentioned
and tried to plan our approach to diagnosing and repairing the problem.
A few things to note right at the
start include that the vehicle seemed to
drive OK and there was no antilockbrake-system (ABS) light on, plus there
were no other codes. There was also no
speed-signal reading from the PCM on
the scan tool. As a quick check, we
switched to the ABS
module, and all wheel1
speed sensors were reading correctly in the ABS
module according to the
scan tool.
The first signal needed, and where it all originates, is the right-front
wheel-speed sensor
(WSS). This is just a twowire AC generator like
almost any WSS. These
signals can be checked at
the WSS or, an even better place to check, right
at the ABS/VSC module.

Lexus actually calls this module or


electronic control unit (ECU) an
Antilock Brake System/Brake
Assist/Traction Control/Vehicle
Stability Control ECU, or
ABS/BA/TRAC/VSC ECU. The short
name for our purposes here will simply be ABS/VSC module.
We also needed to check the signals
at the PCM and ABS/VSC modules, so
performing these checks right at the
modules, which are right beside each
other behind the glove box, was the
best way to test. If you check right at
the module, it can prove that a good
signal gets to the module from the sensor through the harness. What you
should see is a good sine wave as the
wheel turns, just like what you see
when checking any normal WSS or a
normal-style VSS or AC pulse generator. This one was good at the
ABS/VSC module, back-probed at the
ABS/VSC-module connector. Figure 1
shows a good signal from the rightfront WSS as the wheel begins turning
from a stop.
The ABS/VSC module then concontinues page 8

verts this signal to a DC pulsed
signal through its AD (analog-todigital) converter. This converted
pulsed signal is then sent to the
combination meter (CM), or what
we would normally call the instrument cluster. So you have the sine
wave in and the pulsed
square wave out.
2
The image in Figure 2
is with the wheel turning,
so it shows the pulses. If
the wheel were stopped, it
would be a straight voltage line. What needs to be
noticed here is that this is
a pulsed 12-volt signal,
which then is sent to the
CM, not the PCM.
The CM has a module
on the back of it that
serves as a mini-computer
or ECU for the meter.
According to Lexus tech,
the combination-meter
module refines the
3
waveform/signal sent
from the ABS/VSC module and then sends it out.
It goes to the PCM, navigation ECU, cruise control
and multi-display unit
(MDU) with one wire
from the CM to a junction
block, and the signal is
dispersed to the other
modules from there.
Figure 3 shows a good
signal sent out from the
CM.
When the ignition is
turned on you get a
4
straight 5 volts, with no
pulsed signal being sent
from the ABS/VSC module. This is the CM sending a signal to the PCM at
key on so the PCM knows
the circuit is good and
wont set a P0500 as soon
as the ignition is turned
on and no real-time signal
is sent until the vehicle
moves. So the AC signal is
sent to the ABS/VSC
module from the WSS as
the wheel turns. The

ABS/VSC module converts the AC


signal to a pulsed 12-volt DC signal and sends that signal to the
CM. The CM then further converts
the 12-volt pulsed signal into a 5volt pulsed signal and sends that
signal out of the CM on one wire to

a junction block, where its dispersed to the other modules that


need the speed signal. The big difference is that the CM now sends
out a pulsed 5-volt signal rather
than the pulsed 12-volt signal it received from the ABS/VSC module.
When the wheel stops
turning, there will be a
zero-volt line, not the
5-volt reference, until
the wheel turns again.
When we ran these
tests to verify the good
signals, Figure 4 shows
what we found as the
refined signal being
sent from the CM to
the PCM.
It was a pulsed signal but only about 12
volt, not 5 volts. This
1 -volt pulse was not
2
strong enough for any
other module to make
sense of it.
At this point, we figured the CM ECU was
not sending out the
correct speed signal to
the other modules and
needed to be replaced.
We called the Lexus
dealer and asked for a
new CM assembly and
specified that we wanted to be sure the CM
ECU was included
with the assembly. We
also asked about the
odometer requirements and were told
that we would program
the mileage after we installed the new CM assembly. A couple of
days later we got a call
and they needed to
know the mileage, as
the factory programs
the mileage into the
unit before it ships one.
OK, no problem, just a
longer delay.
Well, when the box
arrived and we paid for

Circle No. 10 on Reader Card

Shift Pointers
our complete new
5
mileage-programmed
CM assembly, we got a
surprise. Figures 5, 6
and 7 show what we received. This is the face
panel with gauges and
the CM ECU. This is
what Lexus seems to
consider a complete unit.
Needless to say, that is a
somewhat-frustrating
6
situation, not because
you have to disassemble
and reassemble the entire assembly to install
the boards but because
there is a third circuit
board in the CM that is
not replaced, leaving
room for doubt.
With the circuit
7
boards replaced, we installed the now rebuilt
CM assembly to see how
well it was fixed. In this
instance, it was not fixed
quite enough. The vehicle now had a functioning speedometer, but we
still got the P0500, the
Check Engine and VSC
8
lights were on, and there
was no speed signal on
the scan tool checking
the PCM. Dang all
these diagnostics and a
new CM, and it was only
partly fixed. We retested
the signal from the CM
to the PCM and got the
same darn thing (Figure
8).
So, now we had to determine where our voltage had gone. We
removed the MDU and
the center of the dash to
get to the J3 junction block, which
splits up the speed signals, one in
from the CM and four out: to the
navigation ECU (NAV ECU), PCM,
cruise control and MDU (Figure 9
on page 12). We left the feed from
the CM connected and cut out the
NAV ECU and MDU so the signal
would still be sent to the PCM and

10

cruise-control modules. We
checked these for shorts to ground
while the wires were cut, and the
NAV ECU showed to be shorted.
Anyway, we fired it back up
and tried it and checked the signal
at the PCM, with only the PCM
and cruise control still in the circuit. Cool; we had a good signal at

the PCM and no P0500.


We tied back in the
NAV ECU; it worked
for about 15 seconds
and then the signal
dropped back out to a
pulsed 12 volt. We unhooked that again and
tried the MDU, and
wow! It jumped to a
pulsed 12 volts. I
guessed Id better not
leave that connected for
very long.
So now we were left
with two different problems from two systems
that were tied together.
Well, we went and
found the NAV ECU,
which we hadnt actually seen yet. Dang; it was
under the spare-tire
cover and side panel in
the rear of the vehicle.
Wouldnt you know?
The thing was full of
water corrosion and
crap on the connectors
and inside the NAV
ECU. So at this point,
we had the NAV ECU,
MDU and radio all tied
into one unit that was
supposed to work as
one.
What we really had
was a NAV ECU that
shorted out from being
submerged in water inside the rear of the vehicle and let the smoke
out of part of the MDU,
in the meantime also letting some of the smoke
out of the CM, which actually caused P0500.
So, rather than replace about $5,000 of electronics on
a 2001 vehicle, by the customers
choice we took the speed-signal
wires out of the NAV ECU and the
MDU, repaired our wire connections and, with the new CM circuit
boards installed, sent it down the
road with no warning lights on, a

ow isnt this an odd title for an article? Is the


title insinuating that the transmission and the
cooler line are competing with one another? I
thought transmissions and cooler lines worked together in harmony. Well, I know at our shop, we have
certain cooler lines that have drawn special attention
in the past couple of years. We have been clipped
with some unexpected comebacks.
Here is a real-life experience from our shop that
started about three years ago. A 2000 Chevrolet pickup came in with no reverse, no second and no fourth.
Although I felt for the customer, I had to say this was
a sweet complaint and we were eager to fix this
gravy job.
The vehicle had better than 130,000 miles on it, so
the customer chose an overhaul. We took out the
transmission, did the standard overhaul, flushed the
cooler, and back in the vehicle it went. Before we let
the truck down it got a double check to make sure
everything looked as if we had never worked on it.
We filled it with fluid, test-drove it a couple of times
and it was ready to deliver to the customer.
The customer picked up the vehicle and it worked
great for about a year. Then we got that dreaded
phone call that goes something like this: You know
the truck you just overhauled for me? Well, it just
started slipping and quit all at once. We sent a
wrecker after it. Once it got to the shop we raised the
hood and found that the cooler line at the radiator
had been on the move. Thats right; the top cooler line
had decided to move rearward about 6 inches. The
cause: The tiny metal cooler-line clip (Figure 1) gets
worn or breaks (Figure
2) and allows the cooler
1
line to pop out of the
radiator.
We breathed a sigh
of relief, convinced we
were looking at only repairing the cooler-line
problem, and down the
road the transmission
would go. I wish this
OEM cooler-line retaining
were the case, but most
clip

14

of the time with a 4L60-E, when it comes to cooler line


vs. transmission, the cooler line kills the transmission
specifically the 3-4 clutches. What seems to happen
is if the line pops out and the customer is traveling
faster than 55 mph, before they notice the massive
fluid leak they feel the transmission falling out of
gear. It takes only a few revs of the engine to verify
that the transmission is slipping, and in the process
the 3-4 clutch plates are wiped out.
In this particular case, we replaced the broken cooler-line clip and on the test drive the truck had no
third or fourth. This is not good. If we look at this
from the customers point of view, they figure it is our
fault because we just rebuilt the transmission and
they paid us a lot of money. If you look at it from our
point of view, we worked on the transmission and
didnt touch the cooler lines at the radiator.
Now look at what has happened. The transmissionvs.-cooler-line war has turned into the worst possible
situation. If the shop doesnt warrant the transmission, it will be shop vs. customer. Because this was
the first time we had run into this we smiled, explained the situation to the customer and made the repair for free. Of course, this leaves the customer
happy and the shop in the red.
During the repair, we installed two new clips at the
radiator top and bottom. We also took a
plastic tie and secured
2
the lines at the radiator
to stop some of the
sloppy movement that
we believe is responsible for the wear on the
tiny clips.
After this customer
was gone, it was not a
week later until we had
a cooler line pop out of
a different vehicle. This
time it was the bottom

than 100,000 miles on it. That job made us change our


repair process. From that day on, we made it a part of
every overhaul to install new clips at the radiator and
secure the lines. Over the next year, more than 10
units we had rebuilt before we started replacing the
clips lost lines at the radiator. More than 75% of the
time, the line popping out equaled burnt 3-4 clutches.
On a few, the forward clutches were burnt, but usually it was the 3-4. Of course, all the clutch damage was
from the sudden loss of fluid.
In 2008 we had only one cooler line pop out, and it
was determined that we had installed a new clip on
the bottom line but failed to replace the one on the
top.
I have written this article to warn other poor old
transmission shops like ours that there is a spiders
web spun out there, waiting to catch you. While we
are flying around minding our own business doing
the best job we can fixing transmissions, the coolerline booby-trap is lurking, waiting to catch us in its
web. I dont think there will be any bailout money to
help us. The only way I see to avoid this trap is to fix
the problem before it becomes a problem. The vehicles
we have seen with this concern are the 1999-2006
Chevrolet and GMC full-size pickups. In 2007, GM
added brackets on the radiator shroud that secure the
cooler lines. We believe this will reduce or eliminate
the problem. As stated earlier, we believe the loosefloppy line is what causes the clip to wear so quickly.
I know some of you have not run into this problem
yet, so you may be reluctant to start replacing the
clips on these vehicles. I challenge you to start taking
the clips off at the radiator and inspecting them, especially on higher-mileage vehicles. These tiny clips
contact the cooler line in only three small areas

(Figure 3). Once the clip


is worn through in one
of the three contact
areas, it breaks and out
goes the line. We have
seen them badly worn at
65,000 miles (Figure 4).
Why take a chance?
Replace them and
charge the customer for
it. What is that old saying? While the customer has his wallet out,
make sure you get the
money you deserve to
fix their vehicle, because
once the wallet goes
into their pocket, it is
nearly impossible to get
them to pull it back out
later. TD

abused it. Over the next several


weeks, the racer changed the cooler
and even installed a completely different transmission but always got
the same results. The transmission
would run hot and the converter
would last only three or four runs.
The racer eventually replaced the
converter and the problem went
away.
Comparing the two converters
showed that the only significant
difference was the internal clearance. The converter that worked
successfully had an internal clearance between 0.090 and 0.100 inch;
the problem converters internal
clearance exceeded 0.160 inch.
The difference in performance
between the converters was dramatic. The quarter-mile elapsed
time went from 8.58 to 8.40 seconds
with the new converter. The 60-foot
times went from 1.234 to 1.185 seconds, and the speed went from 159
to 161.40 mph. The finish-line temperature on the new converter was
about 100-120 cooler than on the
old converter. However, the
biggest difference was that the
racer was making 125 runs between
cleanouts on the converter. The
new converter never failed and
looked so good at the time of the
cleanouts that the racer got as
many as 215 runs on the converter
at one point.

A not-so-obvious example
A torque-converter rebuilder
started to notice a higher-than-normal comeback rate on one of his
Ford converters. The converters
were coming back wiped out, and
the Bakelite stator caps were coming out looking like small black
marbles. The fluid smelled like 90weight gear lube and the paint on
the converters was burnt, so he
knew that the converters were
overheating. At first he blamed the
customers, but too many were having the same problem. At one point
a converter came back with the
paint burnt, but the converter had
not self-destructed. When the shop
cut the converter open, the only

20

thing they found out of the ordinary was small blisters on the side
of the stator cap.
The shop owner reasoned that
the stator caps were not standing
up to the heat and were causing the
converters to fail. The only flaw in
his theory was that his friend (also
a torque-converter rebuilder) was
using the same stator caps and was
not having any problems. He asked
his friend to check his rebuild procedure, to make certain that he was
not doing anything wrong. The
friend found that the converter had
too much internal clearance and explained that the excessive internal
clearance was probably causing the
converters to overheat.
At first the rebuilder thought
that his friend was talking about
the converters end play. When the
friend explained what he meant by
internal clearance, the rebuilder
said that in his 30-plus years of rebuilding torque converters he had
never checked the internal clearance and did not believe that it
could cause the problem. He reluctantly agreed to check and adjust
his converters internal clearance
for a short time. Since then his
comeback rate on the Ford converters has returned to normal, and a
couple of other problems that had
not been recognized also went
away. Checking and adjusting internal clearance has become an important part of his
converter-rebuilding procedure.

FYI
The stator cap in Figure 2 was in
a low-mileage rebuilt GM converter that was returned to a builder
because of a transmission-related

problem. The blistering on the side


of the stator cap was the result of
0.245 inch of internal clearance.
This converter would have failed
prematurely because of the incorrect internal clearance.

ow does the 2009 Acura RL


compare with the 2003 Acura
RL in terms of serviceability?
It has been six years ago this month
since I was asked to speak for you in
AutoInc. The purpose of my quarterly
article is to have a dialogue in terms of
a technicians point of view when it
comes to the design of cars and trucks.
All the top car and truck companies
in the United States are experiencing a
downturn in sales this year except one:
Honda. Acura is a made-up name for a
more-upscale Honda. What does
American Honda Motor Co. Inc. do that
makes it unique? Is Honda on your
side? I asked Mike Spangler, service
manager and a former technician at
Piazza Acura in Ardmore, Pa., what he
thought of the new Acura RL compared
to an RL of years ago. Along with the
help of the good people at Piazza Acura
and my own research, here is what I
found:
The Acura brand was launched in
the fall of 1985. It was a big step for a
small company. The Acura Legend was
the flagship. For just under $20,000, you
could buy for the first time a sixcylinder automobile from Honda. What
happened along the way with the
Legend that is the RL today? It is still a
V-6, four-door sedan with high-tech
features. On the downside, sales are off
and have been for some time, the price
has more than doubled and the RL is
not as popular as the original.
What about serviceability? Lets
compare a 2003 RL with the new 2009
model. Anytime you add a V configuration, access to spark plugs, injectors
and other parts can become more difficult.
The old Legend was renamed the
RL, which Honda says stands for
Road Luxury, in 1996. Not only were
the first RLs major dimensions unchanged from the Legend save for
being 1 inch taller but the basic suspension and engine designs and a total

of 40% of its parts were Legend carryover. Some problems were also carried
over, including a commonly occurring
code: the P0401. This exhaust-gas-recirculation (EGR) problem code was the
norm on the 1996-to-2004 3.5-liter
Acuras because, as any experienced
tech can tell you, they are all too familiar. Starting with the very first 1986
Acura Legend, main relays would intermittently fail. Heat buildup under
the dash was the most-likely cause, but
this problem went on for more than a
decade. Poor electrical connections also
made for more than a few visits to the
shop.
According to Identifix, the Vehicle
Stability Assist (VSA) system has
prompted a lot of calls to its tech line.
There is a scan-tool software issue that
will set a code 98 in the VSA system.
Once the code is set it is hard to clear.
Identifix has come up with a good solution. To clear the code, disconnect the
scan tool and follow these steps:
1. Keep your foot off the brake pedal
and depress the parking-brake pedal.
2. Press and hold the VSA off button
at the same time and turn the ignition
switch to on.
3. Hold the VSA off switch until the
system beeps four times and then release the switch.
4. Watch the VSA light for more than
three seconds. If the indicator comes
on and blinks six times, the code is
cleared.
As with any model, it is the tricks
and vehicle-specific information that
can make all the difference. One proven
way to fix poor electrical connections is
the application of Stabilant 22a, a conductivity enhancer. One drop will ensure an electrical connection that will
transfer electrons with ease. Standard
Motor Products lists this as SL-5 in its
catalog. Technical Service Bulletin No.

note is that the 2003 RL had no recalls. Not bad for a high-tech car.

n the current political and economic climate, the GM Hummer H2 is

However, a lot of them have been produced and sold, and I suspect that
more will follow.

providing full-time 4WD. These are

not clutch-driven units but are an electronically shifted design using an internal planetary-type differential to
achieve a 60/40 torque split rear to

traction in all driving conditions.
This planetary differential has two
different sets of pinion teeth and two

splined to the output shaft. Pay
very careful attention to the pinion
gears on the planetary differential
when you are disassembling a unit.
They have TIMING marks that
must be aligned as shown in
Figure 2, or else you will not be
able to reassemble the unit.
There is a planetary with sun
gear and annulus gear that provides for high and low ranges
(Figure 3 on page 30). The lowrange ratio is 2.64-1. On the dash
panel is a four-button control
switch that enables the driver to
shift between mode and range positions.
During normal driving the unit
will operate in 4W High, which allows torque to be split between the
prop shafts as needed. The next
range is 4W High Locked, which
locks the prop shafts to a 50/50
torque split and should be used
only off road on loose or slippery
surfaces. The last range is 4W Low
Locked, in which both prop shafts
are locked in a 50/50 torque split,
and the low-range planet changes
the output ratio to 2.64-1. This
again should be used only off road.
Driving in either of the locked
ranges on dry pavement will cause
crow hop, tire scrub and driveline
windup that will release with a
bang.
Tire size and pressures must be
equal to avoid these same symptoms. This is a shift on the fly
unit with driver selection of any of
the ranges possible at speed within
design parameters. Low-locked
range can be achieved only with
the engine running, transmission
in neutral and road speed under 3
mph.
There is a neutral position in
this transfer case. Pushing any of
the selection buttons to achieve a
shift will cause the light for the desired position to flash, proving that
the transfer-case control module
got the message and is sending a
signal to the electronic
encoder/motor to shift the transfer
case. When the desired shift is
complete, the engaged gear will be

Important: The planetary differential gears are timed to the sun


gears. If the gears are not timed
properly, the differential will not
rotate without binding.

the marks on the pinion gears.

differential that can be reference

illuminated solidly. If the shift


does not occur the control module
will try several more cycles before
returning to the previous position,
and this usually will set a 4WDsystem code indicating a problem.
The encoder motor (Figure 1) is
designed like other models, sending 12 volts to operate a permanent-magnet DC motor, but the
encoder side, which is the electric
control, never sees more than 5volt signals on its four channels.
Never put 12 volts to the encoder
during a test or you will be replacing it.
If the driver wishes to shift to
the neutral position the following
criteria must be met: engine running, automatic transmission in
neutral, road speed below 3 mph,
and the transfer case in the 4WD
High mode. Press and hold the
4High and 4Low Lock buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds; after
the shift to neutral occurs a red
neutral indicator button will light
up. This was designed for towing
the vehicle without the transmission output shaft rotating. I would
advise against towing these vehicles in this manner. In a perfect

world this should work, but it is


too easy to have some of the components spline locked, and the result would be catastrophic.
An area of concern with these
types of units is the construction of
the cases. They are magnesium
alloy, which is lighter and stiffer
than aluminum. The downside is
that magnesium does not like steel.
By design, all steel parts that come
in contact with the magnesium
components are shielded. This is
because of galvanic corrosion
that occurs between dissimilar
metals. The molecules tend to migrate between the two metals, either corroding each other or fusing
like a weld.
Use only the original OEM case
bolts, which are nylon-coated steel.
Check the bolts for tears in the
nylon coating, and replace any
damaged ones. The bolts are selftapping and should be run in by
hand or at least started by hand.
New case halves will not be
threaded from the factory. The
drain plugs are aluminum; do not
use steel or they probably will
never come back out.
The nylon-coated steel bolts all
come with aluminum washers
under the heads; make sure that
they are there. Do not use metalclad seals as replacements; use
only OEM seals that are rubber
coated on the outside. There are
aluminum shims under and between all brackets and mounts; do
not reinstall the unit without them.
There is a gasket between the
transmission extension housing
and transfer case, and an OEM gasket will have writing in yellow that
should face the transmission when
installed. It is a very good idea to
install a separate copper ground
strap from the transfer case to a
good ground on all electronic
units.
While we are talking about magnesium, there is another important
consideration for safety. Do not try
to weld magnesium or weld near
it. It is not easy to start magnesium

The internal wire harness in the main valve-body

Brittle
conduit

When the new filter is installed, it can be pushed up


against the wire harness (Figure 2), causing the conduit to break up in sections. This can expose a wire
splice in the internal harness, causing it to come into
contact with the valve body and resulting in a short to
ground (Figure 3), which causes the complaints mentioned.

Correction:
The type of failure that will occur depends on the
year of the vehicle. 1990-1993 vehicles are equipped
with a Bosch TCM, which controls the solenoids on
the power side. A short causes solenoid codes to
store and a failsafe condition.
1994 and later vehicles are equipped with a Delco
TCM, which controls the solenoids on the ground

Service Information:
As a side note, this transmission is also in some
BMW models as well as the Cadillac Catera. The
solenoids in these vehicles are controlled on the
ground side. Therefore, it is possible to have the
same TCM failure. TD

any of you who have raised


children may have sat in
their bedroom in the early
evening and read them a positive bedtime story to help them fall asleep.
After they fell asleep you would tuck
them in, give them a little kiss on the
forehead and quietly leave the room,
and you hoped the positive story you
read would give them sweet dreams
while they slept.
Well, I have two bewildering stories
to share with you that normally would
give you nightmares. However, by
reading this story you will see that it
really was another mans nightmare.
But for you it will be a sweet dream,
since you will acquire his experience
and bypass the pain he suffered.
The first has to do with a 722.6
transmission in a Jaguar XKR vehicle.
The shop that went through this
painful experience is in England, 59
miles northeast of London in a town
called West Mersea. The vehicle came
in with damage to the sprags and the
K3 clutch. After repairs the car was
delivered to the customer. A few days
later he called complaining that it
would lose all forward gears at lower
speeds (during coast) and would reengage after it came to a complete
stop.
The shop found no codes in the system and nothing amiss inside the
transmission. So a completely different transmission was installed, and
after a successful road test the car was
returned to its owner. A few days later
the customer called again with the
same complaint.
These 722.6 transmissions are
known to have issues with sprags and
sealing rings (especially for the K3

clutch) and excessive rear gearbox end


play (called float in the UK), which
causes similar complaints. But all
these possibilities had already been
eliminated.
This time the shop did an extensive
road test with a scan tool in the livedata mode, watching the PID for modulating-pressure control. When they
drove hard the problem never occurred. It would occur only during
light-throttle coast, and sometimes
you would have to drive as much as
200 miles (322 kilometers) before the
problem occurred.
When they finally experienced the
problem themselves, they noticed that
the modulating parameter dropped to
60 psi. You would think that 60 psi
would not have caused the transmission to fall out of gear, but there are
no physical pressure taps to see with a
gauge what actual transmission fluid
pressure was. Factory information
tells us that line pressure has a range
of 60 to 320 psi, and modulating pressure has a range of 0 to 125 psi.
Whatever was occurring, the PID indicated a drop in pressure at the same
time the vehicle went to neutral.
With no codes in the system, they
decided to approach this problem
electrically by checking grounds and
ultimately changing computers as
well as rewiring work, but to no avail.
To bring this nightmare of a story
which lasted 200 hours and more than
6,000 UK pounds ($8,629.78 in U.S.
dollars) to a close, what they discovered is an example of the need to have
the right tools and, of course, knowing
what to look for.
They learned from a gentleman in
Ireland that he had encountered the

Transmission Digest

exact same problem and had discovered that it was due to a fault in
the rear stub-axle nuts, which were
just loose enough to cause loss of
the pre-load that holds the ABS
speed-sensor ring to the shaft. This
allowed the sensor ring to intermittently stop moving, and the reaction caused the computer to place
the transmission into neutral and
not produce a code. Tightening the
nuts resolved the problem.
We have seen differences in tire
diameters of as little as 18 inch
causing a variety of shift-related
complaints, but to neutralize a
transmission during light-throttle
coast was a surprise to me. Having
software to view ABS data is an absolute must in todays transmission diagnostics and repairs. The
capability to view live wheel-speed
data could detect a problem like
this or to see whether the computer
initiated the curve-recognition
strategy while the vehicle was
going straight. ABS and tractioncontrol data are making serious
headway into the computer shift
strategy of the transmission, especially when it has been designed to
be the main source for a vehiclespeed signal. But it, too, can be a
problem if it was designed to be a
redundancy signal should the
transmission vehicle speed sensor
fail.
The next scenario has to do with
an RE5F22A transmission in a 2005
Nissan Maxima that an AAMCO

shop in Las Vegas had to deal


with. The RE5F22A is the AW5550SN transmission that also is used
in Volvos, Saabs and GM vehicles.
Many of us are aware of the myriad of problems the valve body and
its solenoids produce. Delayed engagements into drive and/or reverse, harsh reverse, TCC slip or
premature engagements causing
the engine to stall, low line pressure, 2-3 flares and harsh 3-2
downshifts are just some of the
problems encountered. And then
there is the need to reset shift
adapts, which is another dilemma,
but that is not the focus of this article.
This particular vehicle was experiencing a variety of complaints
similar to those just mentioned,
but installing a different valve
body with solenoids caused many
of the complaints to disappear.
Shift adapts also were reset, but
the vehicle still had bumpy downshifts during slight tip-in of the
throttle. The manager who roadtested the vehicle reported this
problem to Bob, who does the majority of the diagnostics there.
When Bob took it for a road test he
discovered that this hard downshift occurred between 15 and 20
mph only during right-hand turns.
Much to his credit, when he
came back from the road test and
was looking at the car he noticed
that it had low-profile tires. He decided to check their pressures and

Transmission Digest
Binders... keep valuable

found readings of 15, 40, 45 and 50


psi. Bob inflated all four tires to the
specified pressure, and when he
road-tested the vehicle again, the
hard-downshift problem no longer
occurred. Just another example of
how crucial tire size is as it relates
to ABS and traction control, which
are having a strong influence in
transmission shift strategy.
The one thing that puzzled me,
and still does, is why the tire-pressure-monitoring system didnt report low tire pressure by
illuminating the TPMS light on the
dash. But then again, I have seen
many items fail with no codes reported. So it happens. But should
you see a lit TPMS light and you
are experiencing shift busyness,
wrong-gear starts, late upshifts, no
high gear, harsh downshifts or
neutralizing on downshifts, do not
waste time on trying to fix that
transmission with a valve body or
solenoids or a transmission range
sensor. Check the tire pressures
and sizes first, and if you have ABS
software look into your wheel
speeds. It will get you rolling sooner rather than later and you will
not be telling another bewildering
story! TD

ne of the great things about


being a mechanic is that we
usually arent afraid to tackle
any mechanical challenges placed before us, even if they are brand new and
weve never faced anything like them
before. We tear into a job with the confidence that we will somehow be able
to find the problem, fix it and put it
back together. Experience gives us the
nerve to try.
For the entire 25 years that I owned
and operated my transmission shops I
always kept my hand in on the technical side of the business. I enjoyed it but
also wanted to keep abreast of any
changes that would affect shop productivity. Whenever a new type of
transmission came out I would build
the first several before turning them
over to my rebuilders, which I did only
after running a little training class to
make them aware of any problems or
idiosyncrasies I had discovered. That
practice saved a considerable number
of comebacks and allowed me to give
intelligent answers to rebuilders when
they had problems, so it was definitely
worth the trouble.
I dont remember ever standing at a
teardown bench with any apprehension about taking a transmission, transfer case or differential apart and not
being able to put it back together. Some
of the newer units with computers,
complex valve bodies, sensors and solenoids were challenging, but not
scary. I guess in the back of my mind I
always knew that I could get help or, at
worst, buy a unit somewhere if I really
screwed up. In any event the customer
was paying for the repair, so I figured
that I couldnt lose too much if I did
run into problems.
Recently, I faced a situation that, I
must admit, scared me silly. I just

thought those of you who are mechanics might get a kick out of reading
about it while at the same time being
able to relate to it.
I have a 70-inch LCD rear-projection
television set. It is, to my knowledge,
the largest LCD TV you can buy without spending more than $20,000. I
bought it new four years ago from
Abes of Brooklyn, a New York wholesale appliance dealer. The set was selling in the big-box stores at the time
for about $7,500. Abey let it go for
$5,000 delivered. Its been a good TV,
not to mention conversation piece. I
love it and must admit that Im addicted to its size. I now have trouble
watching anything smaller.
This TV uses a super-bright halogen
bulb that changes its white light to colored pixels by projecting through three
tiny LCD panels that are red, green and
blue, the three basic colors out of
which all other colors, except white,
are created. It does this through a series of mirrors and lenses that eventually project the image to the back of the
screen. Sounds simple enough.
In watching the TV I had noticed
that lately I had to crank up the brightness setting to get a good picture. I had
been told when I bought the TV that
the bulb eventually would go bad and
that I would have to replace it (a simple job; it plugs in through the front of
the TV via an access panel). I wasnt
worried, especially because the price of
those bulbs has dropped from around
$400 to the $95 for which you can now
buy them. I thought that the brightness
problem was a result of a worn-out
bulb. I did have one concern, though.
There were these strange-looking blue
blobs starting to develop on the screen.
I could barely see them at first, but
they were there. I thought that maybe

Transmission Digest

when the bulb was replaced it


would fix them too.
I hadnt bought the bulb yet, because like any other mechanic I
was gambling that it would last a
while longer, and why spend $95
to leave it sitting on a shelf? It was
Christmas Eve. I was at my brother-in-laws house for the festivities.
We were watching something on
his 60 inch TV. Its the exact same
unit as mine, only a little smaller.
At some point he asked whether I
had ever needed to replace the
bulb. You know that was the kiss
of death. Two days later the bulb
blew, and I mean blew. They dont
go quietly; they explode internally.
You hear a loud pop, the set shuts
off and you see a red blinking
light, which I later found out was
the indicator that the bulb was
done.
I quick-ordered a bulb online
and paid the extra $26 for
overnight delivery (cant be without TV for very long). When it
came I plugged it in and fired up
the TV. It worked, but I still noticed the blue blobs. Over the next
few days the blobs grew larger and
more pronounced, and any menus
that had been up on the screen
started to leave ghosts behind. I
knew something was wrong, and I
didnt think it was the new bulb.
As has become my habit of late,
when I want to know anything, I
Google it. So I entered the brand
name and model of the TV and the

I dont remember ever standing at a


teardown bench with any apprehension
about taking a transmission, transfer
case or differential apart and not being
able to put it back together.
words blue blobs. Within a moment I had a couple of hundred answers and they were all the same.
The light engine, otherwise
known as the optic block, was
going bad. This type of TV, especially from this manufacturer, was
known for this problem. In fact,
the manufacturer lost a class-action suit and extended warranties
on many of its models, mine included, except that I was past the
extension date by about two
months so they wouldnt take care
of it.
Think about that for a moment. I
was penalized because mine actually lasted a bit longer than most
before it failed. One would think
that a very large, world-renowned
manufacturer that knew it had expensive TVs around the world
with the same defective part
would just go ahead and warrant
them whenever they failed, but the
company refused; very bad public
relations.

Now that I knew what was


wrong I went online to find a factory-authorized service provider to
fix it. I called up and told the person who answered that I had the
blue blobs, and he immediately
said, Thats going to run you
about $1,500 if I dont find anything else wrong when I come take
a look. His bedside manner left a
lot to be desired. If he hadnt started by giving me a price I probably
would have let him come take a
look and might have let him fix it. I
wonder how many jobs he blows
off in a day.
As a mechanic my next thoughts
automatically went to, How much
can I buy the part for and can I put
it in myself? Back online I went. I
found a forum in which people
were discussing my specific problem, the troubles they had with the
manufacturer and how they went
about having the problem rectified. Some mentioned that they

Conservation Efforts Earn Award


for Jasper Engines and Transmissions

partner that is proactively promoting our product in


the region.

Energy Management Systems Inc. (EMS) of


Indianapolis, a provider of environmental control and
monitoring systems, has presented its Environmental
Stewardship Award to Jasper.
Over the last several years, we made several improvements to the plant, said Mike Schwenk of
Jasper. We have air conditioning within the plant, and
we were getting close to maxing out our utility service
at the plant.
An energy audit in the Jasper facility showed that
the company had poorly lit work areas and was wasting energy, so the company decided to improve on its
lighting. Before the upgrade, the company was not
maximizing its energy use in three ways old-style
lights that used too much energy, inefficient lighting
that was producing half the light compared with when
it was new, and several low-traffic areas that were constantly lit.
With little effort, minimal investment and only six
months work, EMS reshaped Jasper into a more environmentally friendly workplace, and Schwenk said
there were some real savings. Theres no question
about it.
He said the new lighting has helped increase employee satisfaction and improve working conditions.
Jasper will save almost $96,000, or 68%, annually by
using new lighting technology, motion sensors and by
avoiding maintenance costs, Schwenk said.
We have a number of national accounts that are
very concerned as to what initiatives we have taken to
achieve greater energy savings, Schwenk said. This
is one great example of what were doing in that regard.

Its Your Business


continued from page 75
bought the part and installed it
themselves, yet not always successfully. I was encouraged by one
writer who said that if you can
change a hard drive in a computer
you can do this. I thought: What
the heck? Ive changed hard drives
and other computer components
before; surely I can do this.
I found one guy with exactly the
same set as mine who outlined the
procedure he used and another
who posted pictures of an earlier
model; not exactly the same, but
they gave me a general idea what
Id see when I removed the back
cover.
Having made up my mind that I
could fix it I set out to find the
part. I located a company in
Indiana that makes its living strictly on rebuilding these light engines. I guess that indicates how
many of them go bad. The company wanted to sell me one but didnt have any of my particular type
in stock, nor did it have a rebuildable core. So they offered to rebuild mine if I would send it in. It
would take anywhere from 10 days
to two weeks once they received
the part from me. That would
mean I would have to tear apart
the TV and leave it that way for at
least two weeks. All I could picture
was one of my dogs picking up
pieces of it and using them for
chew toys, and two weeks without
a big-screen TV during football
playoffs was incomprehensible.
I called the manufacturers parts
department, ordered the part for a
total of $619 and a service manual
for my exact model. It came in two
days. I started tearing the TV apart
at 11 a.m. and put the last screw
back in the cover assembly at 11
that same evening. Working nonstop for 12 hours sitting on a tiny
chair behind the TV with a fluorescent droplight in some really awkward positions, I persevered even
though my feet sometimes fell
asleep and my back hurt like
crazy.
There were several times during

80

the process when I wanted to quit,


almost quit, maybe should have
quit, but I wouldnt. It became a
matter of pride after a while. I took
it apart and, by golly, I was going
to put it back together. As I mentioned earlier I never had been
afraid to take anything apart, but
this thing scared me half to death.
Immediately when I took off the
back cover I was faced with a circuit board with 36 wires or cables
connected to it. Many of the connectors were the same shape and
color. That made me painstakingly
mark every single wire while still
having to hope that I put all the
connections back together facing
the right way.
One thing I learned from working on cars was to never take apart
more than you have to. I figured
out that if I disconnected everything from the right side of the
board I could unscrew it from its
frame, flip it over and hang it from
the left side of the TV. Once it was
out of the way I could see the light
engine. It was about the size of a
little TV set. I carefully disconnected all its wires, unscrewed its fasteners and slid it out the back.
Quickly swapping what I needed
to the new unit, I reinstalled it and
proceeded to replace everything
else I had removed earlier. Every
reconnection to that big circuit
board scared me. I knew if I
messed one up not only was it not
going to work but also I wouldnt
even have known exactly why it
didnt. There was a whole lot of
Oh God, if you only let me get
this right I promise Ill be a good
boy stuff going on.
Anyway, everything did fit together the way it came apart,
which in itself kind of surprised
me after all that pushing and
pulling on wires and connections.
Once the last screw was in place on
the back cover I sat down in my
easy chair, shut my eyes tight
cause I was afraid to look and
pushed the on button of the remote. When I heard sound, some
of my fear dissipated, because I

know that the sound wont come


on unless there is a picture on that
TV. Sure enough, when I opened
my eyes I saw a better picture than
that set had ever had. It was
brighter and sharper than when it
was brand new. I guess that light
engine was always defective to
some degree, or else the replacement was far bettered engineered.
Im still annoyed that the manufacturer wouldnt fix it under warranty, but at the same time I feel
that sense of accomplishment all
mechanics do when a job goes
well, especially one theyve never
tried before. And yes, I am just like
some of your customers who buy
the part and try to fix it themselves
to save money but when it doesnt
work have to come to you for help.
I can sympathize after almost giving up and going to someone myself. So the only advice I can offer
is that the next time a customer
does that to you, instead of saying
I told you so just smile, take
their money and fix their car.
Youll probably make a customer
for life. TD
