help 1981/123 trans book ?????
 

hi i took the trans apart today it did not back up and i cant find why the 3rd band is thin but nothing else is bad - the first band is thin as well the 1 / 2 shift but that works OK the servo piston is not broken and the seals were not shredded ???? any ideas or how i can obtain a trans book thanks -- when you put it into reverse it wanted to back up but never relay engaged jz

Even the FSM magically "forgot" to put in a tranny section. I have not seen one yet.

Is your a 722.315? ATSG writes manuals for both the 722.3xx and 722.1xx series, you can Google and find them. Also on Ebay. They are only slightly better than random chance, IMO., so don't expect much.

ATSG the printing was done buy blind people who dont know english hahahahahahah thanks i have in the past thrown those away or used them to soak up the bench oil -- you would think they would do a good job -- thanks jz

john- That's a very good use for the ATSG manuals. You did not reply about what type of tranny you have. I suspect it is a 722.1xx (four-bolt oil pan). I have a poor pirated copy of the factory 722.3xx manual that I can email (8 mb file), if that helps any. I can tell you the band material is not very thick on the one's I have seen.

John-

Oh yeahh, now that you mention it - guess I forgot all about that because you were talking 300D and I was thinking 240D. I had the same experience myself on the 240D auto (also a 4-bolt) I bought last year. The lady sold it because it no longer had reverse (among other reasons). But it was simply a case of the reverse band adjustment, with is located on the passenger's side in front, had simply backed out. I reached down, screwed it back in by hand- reverse came back. So , for the record, this is a fairly common occurrence on the 4- bolt trannies, when you lose reverse.
