C-5 Transmission Problem
I bought my beater for 300 bucks and it had trans problems from the start. I drove it home in 2nd gear (about 15 miles and over the Delaware Memorial Bridge) I had an Ebay Rebuilt Trans on its way and it was changed by me and my ASE Cert. Mechanic Buddy.
There has been a long list of problems but the one I can't figure out is the fact that it will run fine for about 10 miles and then it slips in 3rd real bad and won't go into reverse at all. I have an aftermarket trans cooler in it because the radiator trans cooler is clogged and was one of the earlier problems.
If you have any ideas let me know. If you have had this problem let me know.
I want to get this fixed so I can go to Wharton and go wheelin with the rest of you guys.

third and reverse are the same high clutch applying (just without the forward clutch engaging) it is the one just behind the front pump... it sounds like a sealing ring problem on the pump support, (read:internal problem), not super major but trans r/r and teardown time... first make sure the linkage is perfectly adjusted (they are sensative to this) then you could even pull the valvebody and air test the clutch pack to verify first...lol

it could still be the same problem that canaan said, as the trans heats up, the fluid thins in viscocity, and the seal may not have problems unless the fluid gets thinner. since its only the last 2 gears you are having trouble with, and not all of them, im leaning towards what he suggested earlier, and if you bought the trans from a business on ebay, you should look into the warranty for it

the trans cooler line on c4/c5 feeds the rear lube passages on the rear mainshaft so thats definately what smoked the last one, the pump output from convertor is where it outputs from the trans... i would pull the valvebody and air test the clutches for leaks, if they are sound than install performance automatics full manual valvebody, available from summit racing among others.... you will love it i promise and you trans. will love it also... lol
