IS IT COMPLICATED JOB TO DROP VALVE BODY AND INSTALL 3-4 ACCUMULATOR 

 

I installed a new Goerend/ Dynotec Transmission last February as some of you may have noticed in my sig. It works Great except I've noticed that it shifts into 4th gear Hard.  So i figured it was probably just settling in where it was new and may just need adjustment later on and i had gotten busy with business and other things so i just kinda put it off till later and see if it got better, i was running highway when i did drive it so no big deal, well lately I've been riding it around local and its become a PITA.

 

    So i Called Ken at DYNOTEC and asked him about it and he insured me it is an easy fix. According to what he told me via Dave Goerend that some of the 2ND Gen auto Trucks have this issue from factory, "No one knows why"but its something in the PCM,  but Dave Goerend has designed a Special Accumulator/solenoid to cure this. they do not install it on all trans cause only a few have this issue and if one doesn't  have this issue it can make the final 3-4 shift soft

 

   So i have to drop pan and valve body to install this part, Never really done much with auto transmission's and wondering is this pretty easy or do i need to find a shop to do this??

        He has already sent me the part Free,"no charge"  these Are Really Great People to deal with..

I have a Quad. XZT+ which is a 60-65 HP chip. I put a Revmax stage 3 and a Transgo TFOD shift kit in which in my opinion is the minimum upgrade to the 47RE. I tow on performance setting grossing 14k and it holds fine, no shudder at all. I'm pretty sure my setup would handle a comp if driven sensibly. I aim to find out shortly.

. What I would like is something be 2000 and 2002 but for trucks that fit the bill it's pretty high, $18K to $25K with very low mileage at the top. ?

PA. seems a little cheaper than most. If you're interested in traveling I can send you some ads.

Yes Sir, I don't mind looking at anything you send my way. Are PA trucks rust free? I hear a lot of times up North that individuals put up the good stuff for the winter and drive a junker in case of ice causing a slide into someone else. Where is the best place to look up value of a 2002 Cummins loaded with low miles? Send a way when ready.

I think I mixed up members, should have paid more attention. I see that it's not Russ Roth but you, dave110. Thanks for joining in. Let me know how it does.

OK Guys, i finally got around to installing the Accumulator Housing from Goerend that Dynotec sent mw to cure the hard and odd 3-4 Shift. I dropped pan and filter last knight, I'll be dropping valve body today and installing accumulator today. ill update tonight on how it goes 

Wish me luck

Have a picture of the accumulator?

Generally not, but there are some companies that specialize in bringing southern trucks up and selling them. I checked the one place and all they have right now is 3rd gens. It's the road salt that destroys our trucks up here

CTcummins24V...          Yes, i do.. but ill post later ,,,,got too much ATF+4 on my hand rt now ....NEED TO KNOW TORQUE SPECS ON VALVE BODY BOLTS

.NEED TO KNOW TORQUE SPECS ON VALVE BODY BOLTS......

100 in-lbs

what about the torx-25 bit screws,,,,i took a few out by mistake

53-71 in/lbs sound right

I've been allover the web and can't find sh@$t about the torque spec fot these bolts

 

here is a photo of the Accumulator:

 

well I can't get the link to work... ill keep trying

Edited June 21, 20159 yr by rburks

still need specs? I have the ATSG manual

no thanks thou, i couldn't find anything definite for 47RE, I WENT WITH 60 inch/lbs. i seen it some where for #25 torx bolts in valve body..

Well Guys, i finally got the valve body out and changed out the 3-4 Accumulator assembly done tonight.  after driving down the road a couple of shot trips i can definitely tell a difference.

 It wasn't really as bad as i thought it would be but i did take out some of the torx screws before i figured out they didn't need to be removed.    other than that it went pretty smooth

still trying to load pictures of the accumulator

They would need more than a transmission job with the bodies falling off. Reading this post lets me know if you make some mild changes with Accumulator springs and valve bodies if I'm reading it right Looks like I did a two post again by luck, no skills necessary. With the rust there should be plenty of parts.

  21.Install the valve body mounting bolts, ensuring the different length bolts are installed in the proper positions, and torque evenly to 100 inch pounds

  I dont' know if this is the torque specs you were looking for but I found them when reading more information about the install from BD.
