<p>Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble with the transmission. I have the Chevy P30 with the TH400 transmission and could send you the pages from the manual I have regarding removal/ install. I've done it twice on the Dodge and too many times to count on my little rear-wheel drive BMW's so the concept is the same but the Devil is in the details when disconnecting cooler lines, shifter couplings, etc. but it's not too complicated.</p>

Hello some one...... I have tried all the suggestion. Down to pulling the valve body and cleaning every thing I could. To NO solution. I have resolved to replacement. Now how do I get the trans brake/drive line assembly out or pulled to get the old one out and new one in?

<p>My 78 Travelcraft ( a class "C" Chevy cutaway van with the 350 SBC) has a Turbo Hydromattic 400 - 3 speed transmission. I would guess yours will have the same. You can Google Chevy turbo 400 and find a picture guide of the oil pans on Chevy transmissions of that era and compare them to yours. There was basically two main ones used : the turbo 350 and the turbo 400. There was a couple odd ducks in there but not very common. Hope this helps out.</p>

<p>So Sorry Mara! I read "Sportscoach" and assumed it to be a Dodge! With the Chevy 454 engine you likely have a TH400 3 speed transmission. I'd need to know what you mean by " the trans wouldnt engage". For this type of transmission if the governor gear is stripped then you can't get out of first gear (and that is pretty spongy) when driving.

This is a safety component to keep you from stripping the transmission.

<p>Start it up and put it in gear and then in reverse and then park and then drive. It may take a short time for it to circulate. Drive it at least 20-25 miles stop and go and higher speed to get it mixed and circulated good. You can repeat this if necessary. </p>
