Startin week three tonight. Talked to the shop fri afternoon on my way in to work. Still need to replace the valve body. gonna be a few more days. Good thing the weather aint bad and the Triumph is a great ride to commute on.
This shop has been around since the mid 80's. Very good reputation and stand behind what they do.
One thing i have learned over the years. The fly by night outfits just dont last long.
Talked to the shop again. The guts of the trans look just like they did before. The trans cooler flowed well when they flushed it.
Getting another complete rebuild and fixing the likely failing cooler in the radiator.
Talked to the the mech who did the work this morning.
The suspect part may be as simple as the trans cooler or line. As in the line getting plugged or colapsing when it gets hot. Bad part is they have to rebuild the trans from scratch again. The good part is the Libby is first in line this...
The Trans shop in question has a real good reputation for quality work. I know he wont be happy to see it back so soon...
Good to have a warranty aint it.
Picked up the Libby. Happy to be driving it again.
Now parked, waiting for the shop to take it back in. Tranny packed it in again! Doin about 65mph and WHUMP from under the floor boards. Tach jumped up, speedo steady. Hit the O/D button no change. Get it off the freeway and all fwd propulsion...
Well its gettin rebuilt. Don't like the cost, but what do you do. This has been the best vehicle I have ever owned. In four years it has only ate the normal consumables.
I am just wondering if the solenoid pack took a dump. So that the trans aint building any pressure in the pump(s). Going to talk to the trans shop. At this time I am getting a quote of $1600 for a rebuild.
So this morning on my way home from work.... toolin along at 70mph. I hear this loud as pop from under the floor board. Poor Libby starts slowin down, no motive force to propel her. Pull over and sit a second, creeps along for about 50' or so. No more fwd propulsion. Pop it into R and hear what...
Very cool looking.
I keep tellin the wife that I want to build a camping trailer from the back halves of two Libby's. Leave the flip glass and door gates functional on both ends. Then tow it with a Libby.
When I installed my Alpine gear. I just drilled out the tweeter grill in the dash panel. Then surface mounted the tweeters after pulling out the stockers.
slight hijack here. My old Dodge Ram 1500 just had rear wheel anti-lock on it. the four wheel was an option though. Had to replace a front hub due to a massive bearing failure. Priced a non-ABS vs the ABS hub. The ABS hub was about $50 cheaper. The only difference between the two? The ABS hub...
