Hey Jeff, Well just this past weekend we had to straighten the 2nd gear
brake piston. It bent because we did not remove the tension adjuster for the
second gear. We corrected our mistake but not before we drove the tranny
upa steep hill we live by (slipping all the way) Then we dropped the valve
body and saw our mistake. Corrected it and now we have 2nd gear when the
selector lever is in that position. It just wont go when 3rd is engaged(by
going through the gears and then 3rd slips) Dont know why this is the case
but im going to try to fix it again this weekend. : ( The knocking im
not sure about anymore. Maybe its a main bearing maybe its in the tranny.
Going to use a stethescope to listen to specific components and see. As far
as the manual yes i have a bentely but i like to get second opinions from
people who have done what im inquiring about. anyway gotta cook breakfast
for the queen (my wife) thanx bro for the help!
Respctfully , Raul '89 gl heartbreaker
