Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Home ground plate problem?

[JKuhlman]

I have a 94 1 ton 5 speed. I took the plate out and decided to grind it myself. I ground it so that it looks like a 7 or a backwards 7 which everway you look at it. Put it back in slid all the way forward and it isnt any different. No black smoke it doesnt feel much different to me the star wheel is also all the way forward. I dont know what is wrong? Anybody got any ideas?



thanks

Try pulling the plate out. If it doesn't smoke then, at least when bogged down, then something else is the problem. I did and turned out to be a weak overflow valve. I replaced the o'flow, put the plate back in, and it worked guuuuud.

I didnt grind the plate back as far as you did and it is at more of a angle than yours is. I will try to re grind it a to a 0 I think and then try that. Hopfully that works.



thanks
