2004 and up 4r70w. No third gear. oil pressure at the direct tap is 0-5 up to 2nd gear, at third gear where I should have 50-75 psi I only have 15. I ovehauld two of the same problem it cam in with, no thid gear. I replaced the direct drum because it had stripped splines on them. One also had a broken 2-3 accumulator retainer. Retainer is installed correctlly and I always install a new shift solenoids. My life data shows me the solenoid is switching on and off correctly. What is the problem here? Also where is the TOT on these units?
Optional Information: Year : 2004Make : Lincoln Already Tried: Mastear Overauled Kit. New turbine, speed sensor, shift soleniods, direct drum, seals an clutches. Also 2-3 accumulator, (updated)
Can you give me the VIN number to look up correct info?

On my sheet there is 3 different types of snap rings (thickness) for direct clutch. What is the outcome if I did not use the right size snap ring at the direct clutch. Would it be a no 3rd gear operation or just a delay in 3rd? Also where exactly is theTOT on this unit?
The wrong snap ring would result in a delay.If you are talking about the TFT trans fluid temp sensor than it is located in the internal harness that connects to the solinoids.You have to replace the harness if it is bad.
One more quetion then I can except your answer, website that I can buy a AODE/4R70W air check plate? I will accept your response but will let you know what happens Monday.

Thank-you sir! Wish me luck and I will keep you posted....
Thought I would give you an update. When I bought a new direct drum, I did not see the seal was not with the direct drum, the one at the bottom of the shaft. So that is my no 3rd gear problem in a nut shell, thanks for your help.....
thanks for the update
