[pigonawing]

I went out tonight to mess with it and i would not kick into gear again and when it dd i made it a mile down the road and when i stopped i lost it all to it right back to the farm and could not get it to the shop cause of mud i got all the stuff to tr that fix but i think its dead it just whines w=even when it dose catch a gear and i know nothing about the kick down or how to mess with it i know everything looks fine but look is all i know when is this meet i would hate to put it all new and just fry another

[pigonawing]

wish i could get her to dry land so i could try the easy fix but 83 eagle has a spare tranny here in town im gonna get. this tranny has leaked since the day i got it shifted hard off and on and i think it is just done for if anyone can give some detail on how to set that kickdown let me know im real mechanical just need help with this

Good to know Brandon. Good luck with the install. I do not enjoy swapping Eagle trannies. Keep us posted on the progress guys.

Pigonawing, there may be some more detailed info in the eaglepedia. You can do some adjusting just by pulling the cover off, but it sounds to me like you may have some tranny isuues there other than the linkage. Not sure it's "toast" - I'd still try the flush/filter thing first before taking on the tranny swapping job.

I think the plan is to service the transmission I have, swap it in, then I think he was going to keep his old one and rebuild it for a spare.  I like that idea because knowing my luck as soon as he takes the transmission from my shed my Eagle will get jealous and drop it's transmission.

Pigonawing and his wife just picked up the transmission I had in my shed.  Hope it solves the problem for him.

It's alive!!!

I received a text from Pigonawing at 9:08 pm central time...
"Putting fluid in her now got my fingers crossed"

At 9:39 he texted again, " Well it runs. It's loud; it moves, but I have a drip.  A trans line...  not sure."

Next up...  Exhaust.

[83Eagle!]

Pigonawing has had his exhaust done for about a week or more.  I finally got out to see it today.  Looks god to me.  I snapped a few pictures... I will post them in a litle bit.
