A904 clunking and grinding 1st to 2nd at mid throttle?
So I have a 1988 dodge d100 with a 904 behind a 318 all stock with what I believe has around 87,000 miles. I replaced the torque converter recently and I've driven this thing for a year now. It's always sort of clunked or shifted harshly from 1st to second if I was mid throttle but never clunked at wot or barely any throttle. It's gotten slowly gotten worse over the time and now clunks sooner on the throttle and then proceeds to grind untill I let off the gas and it shifts or it will shift after it grinds for like 3 seconds almost like a loss of pressure some where, it also has sort of a slower and/or weaker shift 2nd to 3rd now to. I suspect it's the valve body like the separater plate is dented and allowing pressure to escape or something along thos lines I'm not to sure on the whole trans side of things and I can't find much of anything in regards to diagnosing this issue. When I replaced the converter I had pulled the valve body partially off not removing the parking rod to sort of inspect the bands and nothing seemed bad or had any heat marks or anything.
Ive also had sort of a harsh jolt or shift when I go from reverse to drive in it to, and from what I've read this sort of points to the valve body as well stating the steel check ball hitting the seperater plate dents it over time causing a harsh shift. |
How does the fluid look and smell?

the harsh shifting from reverse to drive has always happened sense I've had it, I never paid much attention to it untill now. |
Are you sure te trans has never had a shift improver kit installed in it? That will sometime make it shift hard into reverse?

So I actually just watched a video on a 727 and the second band adjustment for 1st and 2nd gear was loose, the back end of it came off and there was no adjustment. This intern led it to have no second gear, this kinda leads to another idea of maybe the adjustment is off and it just need to be tightened? |
