88 pulsar with a lot of noise

[rdnecks]

Hi I have two 88 pulsar CA18DE auto trans 4 speed the first one is put together.The motor has a new head on it but has not ran in over a year. It sounded pritty good the first time i got it started. 2ed time it was real ruff running It had a little raddle I think i have a piston not seated so i have put oil in the cylender. i have done it twice and it seamed to help the raddle each time I have done it . It is still running real ruff I have checked the code's and there was none. Does any body have any ideals of what to look at next Thank you for your help

what do you mean by rough? missfire rough?

[rdnecks]

would not ideal on it's own had to keep fethering the gas to keep it running . The first time i started this car It sounded good. I hit the key and it took right off. Did not even touch the gas. Now i got to fight to keep it running. It getting gas and fire on all 4

sounds like you got a vaccum leak.

[rdnecks]

ok that worked grate I fixed the vaccum leaks. It is running good i found out that the auto trans did not work so i pulled it. And cracked the case on the manual trans it was locked up the only thing i found in it it looked like a washer cut in 1/2 ian it was magnatised it was stuck in the yock. Ya that would lock it up. I looked for a place for this in the case and did not fined a place for it . Everthing looks good it this trans. Is there a place for this 1/2 moon thing in the trans or did some one drop it in there

thank you for your time RDNECKS

should sit some where near the larger gear. there should be a spot in the case for it. it is in there to collect metal debris as it wears from the gears. it should be some where close to the drain plug where there is a spot molded in the case for that to rest in.

[rdnecks]

ok thanks i found the place were it went i can not under stan how it got out of there but it is back in there. I put the cover back on the manual trans bolted down tryed to shift it to make sure it worked (shift into each gear) it would not move stuck in the same place as before do you have a ideal were it might be binding up. It shifs grate with out the cover

thank you for your time RDNECKS

ok a little more info i took the case back off it was stuck rod between in neutral 1st an 2ed and 3rd and 4th reverse was stuck out with out the shifter rod being being in that slot is there a reason for this to happen is there somthing out of place

thank you for your time RDNECKS

only one gear can be engaged at a time. There are detents to prevent it from going into 2. if it is only in reverse. manually shift the rod back to the neutral position and set the cover back on and try to shift it. it should work ok.

Thats all if I understood what you were telling me.

[rdnecks]

ok grate i got it lined out it looks like it is working right. So in the morning i'm going to put it in. I hope it works thanks for all the help.
