I purchased a 93' K1500 with a rebuilt engine and trans with 31k miles on both the 5.7 SBC TBI and 4L60E
I was wondering the rebuilt condition of my transmission - the only notations i can make of its current performance is the following..
- When shifting into gear from park to D it will usually make a 'clunk' noise which sounds like it's coming somewhere from the drive line(DS) - this also happens when im changing gears at a stop P to D, D to R, R to D, D to P although doesn't clunk.
- When accelerating from 1st gear to 2nd it will feel like the trans is spinning at 2100 before it shifts into 2nd gear.
* I DO HAVE 35" TIRES AND 3.73 stock GEARS AT THE MOMENT, WILL BE CHANGING SOON TO 4.88'S BUT NEED TO ANALYZE TRANS CURRENT CONDITION*
With those being the main noises/potential issues i've experience.. here is what is on my AAMCO receipt which was serviced 11/4/08 almost 5 years ago.. the Grandpa who bought it from factory and lifted it never changed the stock gears and he used it as a barn tow truck - he passed away 2011 so im unsure the use it might of seen with his low-20's year old in the owner ship.
The nephew after inheriting from his grandfather put a amp, drivers racing seat (lol), and an enclosed 10'' jbl sub.. typical in my eyes.
But another typical thing is he might of driven it hard knowing how young folks drive (im only 20, yet i take care of my cars and don't run them hard, let alone do all the work myself including welding)
Im NOT knowledgable with tranmissions as im just moving from power train of the engine and rear end to now trying to learn or even better identify what's what in the transmission.

Here's everything on the list of service from AAMCO
Description of problem - Transmission leaks
The External diagnostic revealed that the transmission fluid level is low and the condition is burnt oder and contaminated A computer scan revealed the following codes: The following service is recommended : internal service
Trans Service
AAMCO reconditioned tranmission with an exchanged rebuilt torque converter with AAMCO 12 month/12,000 mile limited warranty
- New assembly Kit # Kb6100J
- Exchange Rebuilt torque converter
1 used transmission case
1 used pump stator
1 New set of bushings
1 used reaction gear assembly
1 used reverse clutch drum
1 New Reverse band
1 New filter and good used rear diff yoke
1 New 1/2 acc spring
1 New 3/4 acc spring
1 New set acc pistons
1 New 3/2 down shift solenoid
1 New T C C solenoid
New ATF transmission fluid filled to manufacturers specification
1 new engine rear main seal
3 used - 2 shift solenoids and 1 E P C solenoid
total cost of labor $1009.40
Hard parts & other components $2387.55 - Torque Converter $392 - and this service was done by the previous owner 11/4/08
Also if someone can elaborate on the torque converter and its function that would be a good start, ill be doing my research as well so any information/advice or suggestions would be appreciated greatly as im unsure if this tranmission is built for another 100k or if it sounds accident prone - or was rebuilt in an odd way.
any help is still help so all is greatly appreciated
