Hi - I have just finished swapping in a 3 speed 3L30 from a 1991 (ish) tracker. The transmission was swapped into my 1990 1.6L 8V Tracker that came with a 5 speed. I have the kick-down cable/vacuum line attached and I've driven a a few times - i'm still trying to find a leak (I replaced the vacuum modulator, shift shaft seal, and dipstick o-ring, and pan gasket, but it still drips and continues to drip for days of non use). It looks like its coming from the dipstick tube area, but I'm not sure...... I'm still not 100% positive I have the appropriate fluid level - I get very different levels at different heat levels......
The trans works good - shifts good, kick-down works, etc.
I have no TCC relay on my fender, so I decided to connect a manual switch to engage the TCC - I traced the white wire up from the Trans connector and traced that wire (I think its red with a green stripe) up to the firewall and spliced to a switch on the dash. My thinking is when the switch is activated, I am putting 12 volts to the white wire through the switch(I verified this is the case with a test light), which should activate the TCC.
From a test drive, I can't feel the torque converter lock up using the switch. My first thought was to replace the solenoid, but I don't want to pull the pan if I need to check something else first.
I assume my switch to the white wire should activate the TCC? Any other things to check?
BTW - fluid was pretty clean originally, and I ran several fresh quarts through it looking for leaks/removing pan, refilling etc.
Thanks
Kirk
