Friday night on my way home from work the transmission started shuttering and making a cavitation noise on acceleration in 1,2 and 3. checked the fluid at 150F it looked just a touch on the high side, not enough to cause issues I don't think and found a bunch more glitter, this could be the new bushings or could be a some left over from the electronics, might have missed. Soooo, hooked a pressure gauge up to the transmission. it's only running 65psi line pressure in park, neutral, OD, D, and 2 positions. reverse is 95psi. revving the engine sees nearly no change when revving, holding the brakes and revving to around 2500rpm sees a quick jump to 95psi. using HPT scanner, I can command higher line pressure 900-980mv are within the GM spec under 900mv sees quite a bit more pressure, which I would expect to see with the boost valve. I just, don't know why it's commanding 1.07v for pressure, force current motor voltage is all stock.. gonna go ahead and drops the pan tomorrow, I do believe I may have put a spring or two in the wrong spots in the valve body, so that might be an issue and addressing the glitter I'll check for evidence of bushing failure. maybe I can get away with just fixing the springs in the valve body, without pulling the trans out of the truck.. if I find evidence of fresh glitter, I'll pull the whole thing, replace all the bushings again and sand all the shafts again like Sonnax recommends, and while it's apart I'll also replace the thrust bearings, they didn't FEEL bad when I had it all apart and I soaked them in fresh fluid with the clutches, also going to do the sonnax pump spring.. So back up on Jack stands... Thinking it's a real Syclone or something 🤣

Sold for $2800 hope some kid got it to enjoy

Well Done, Keep your mind active.🤤 At 68 I am on a fast downhill in my daily life but on the motorcycle, It all comes back. also, practice the old man handshake.

Congrats Jim ! Welcome to the club 👍

Congrats Jim! You won't regret it. Been a useless male drone since 2006. Still having fun. And...every day is Saturday!

It's official.

Not mine but a pristine FJR in Seville. Since most of you guys are NEO, maybe there would be interest. (I rode one, didnt care for it) . https://www.fjrowners.com/threads/2016-fjr1300a-for-sale-ohio.160918/?post_id=1403660&nested_view=1&sortby=oldest#post-1403660

I would have bought it, but you used the wrong oil.

SOLD 6K

You definitely need a banana to ride when she doesn’t want to ride your banana!

Great, now I have gone down the auction rabbit hole and have about 10 different bids on shit i don't need!

Ok. I approve of this plan.

No reserve and 10% buyers premium bids at $120. I hope I get more than that. https://www.kikoauctions.com/auctions/22nd-annual-spring-consignment

I assume this auction site is similar to others like BAT where seller puts a reserve on the item? Didn't poke around on the site but is there a buyer's premium?

Truth in advertising right there!

Registered my license plates that expired in 1989

Lol I have a st1300 for back up riding thinking about getting an F6 B gold wing

Nope, nope, nope! Sale is not approved unless replacement bike is assured and vetted.

What the hell, you can't sell that thing. It's like part of history or something.

Runs and rides great tires probably have 75% tread left three years oldhttps://www.proxibid.com/Kiko-Auctioneers/County-Auction-23666-Matt-K/event-catalog/276083?gl=26a#26a

Well so far seems the transmission if fine! I didn't see anything online about doing it but, I pulled the fuel pump fuse and cranked the truck over to prime the transmission pump and cooler before I started it, sucked up 8 quarts REAL quick. Taking a total (including what I dumped in the TC) of 12.5-13 quarts. New transmission mount is way overkill. Attached some beefy scrap angle iron to the core support with stainless rivnuts and put some rivnuts in the angle iron to mount the cooler directly to it. Forgot to take a picture behind the bumper, but here's what it looks like from the front. Next up I'll work on getting a scoop for it to mimic the aftermarket ones for the typhoon and Syclone heat exchanger, since it's mounted in roughly the same spot. Took a pretty rowdy spina round the neighborhood after running it through all the gears on jackstands and saw 132°F so I think it's going to need more airflow or a bigger cooler (this is the B&M 20,000btu cooler) The ONLY issues are... The 1-2 shift is a little soft for my liking but, I'm sure that's because I went from the trans go 1-2 spring setup to the sonnax OEM replacement spring and the converter probably doesn't help that. 2-3 and 3-4 felt very solid on the jackstands, only hit the 2-3 once in the neighborhood and I still have some pretty aggressive torque management on that one. The second issue is... I messed up the shifter cable yesterday trying to adjust it... Now I can only hit reverse and neutral from park. Only thing it hits from drive it park, ordered a new one since there is only one place in Florida to get the stupid extra long C4 shift cable for these trucks 🤣 And of course I had to check and make sure the rattles and clunks were gone on hard acceleration https://youtu.be/std3CxQgZS4?si=VfYN3kPvYn_wiiUK
