What type oil do you use in the Borg Warner R10 overdrive.

What type oil do you use in the Borg Warner R10 overdrive.

I had cable's with. Welding cables they even put the ends on for me. I ran the pos. Ground to starter bolt.

I didn't get to it to day. DR. Appointment. Tomorrow for sure

Thanks DJ That's it!. it took me about 4 hrs. to get to it . not much room down in there. Napa has the clip that came off. I am going to put it all back together to day. Thank you Sir. Harvey

Bob thas wat I am looking for. but for a P20.the linkge pivets off of the lower end of the gas pedal. that diagram is not in my manul.

thanks guys. the linkage that I lost was the one right off of the gas pedal. one that I don't think you can get to to take a photo off with out taking the floor pan off. that's what I will do tomorrow. Niel I think you are right. it might just be the little clip holding the linkage to the gas pedal. I think I lost it. Thanks Don for the photos they do indeed help.

I was out driving today in my 50 Ply came up to a stop sign. took off in first gear shift to second and no gas. popped the hood and found that the linkage from the gas pedal was off. does anyone have a photo or a diagram of the linkage set up for the P20 I think mine is missing. I walked back down the street looking for it no luck. Maybe it hiding on the frame. what's it look like?

I was hell bent on finding out why when I pushed the OD control lever in, and the only way I could pull it out was to shift into reverse. so I used the process of elimination. first I took the OD cable off of the OD lever at the OD, by hand with the cable off the OD lever shift perfect, then I went inside the car and still with the cable disconnected from the OD I still could not pull the OD lever out with out first shifting into reverse. I had a sigh of relief. I knew the OD was ok.so I checked the rout of the cable and found out that the guy that was helping me install the OD back in the car ran the cable in between the shifting rods putting the cable in a bind, so when I put it into reverse it straightened the cable out, then I could pull it out. so lesson learned!! now everything woks great. I can push the control in and out with ease. I went on a test drive today and The OD did what it was designed to do, in 4thgeer at 25 MPH lift off the gas and I could hardly fell it go into overdrive. I am a happy camper and so is the OD. SO LESSON LEARNED GUYS. don't let this happen to you. check and dabble check. P.S. go easy on me.

I also use GL-1 works for me.

doctor dirt! make sure your tranny mach. knows these borg warner R 10 overdrives. ULu! yes I lift my foot of when I flip the switch. I am thinking also that the solenoid spring isn't strong enough to pull the pawl out . I can hear the relay and solenoid click, and that's all. I am going to check it out when I have time. thanks for the input guys.

Dodgeb4ya I had GA mount the balk on the blockring, I know that's right. Before I assembled I put the solenoid and pawl in and put 6 volts to it and I physically see the pawl engage the block inline with the balk ring, and I did not remove the solenoid. so I know it is in position. the OD did kick in a few times and that that was all. Tank you sir.

thanks guys: so the spring sleeve is installed right and the wiring is correct. I will call G.A. tomorrow. I will let everyone know what the prob. is when I get it resolved.

The OD never worked when I got the car. when I restored the car I pulled the motor and trany.I had the motor rebuilt, and I disassemble the OD and found the Balk was broken. that's when I talked to George Asches about it. he sent everything I needed for the rebuild. new solenoid, Block ring, Balk ring, sun gear, clutch with new rollers,all the bearings, seal, snap rings, and gaskets. the shifter rail and spring were ok. Suntennis does the spring sleeve go in with the flange against the case or the spring? maybe I installed it backwards. Plyroadking Ill see if I can find a new wiring diagram. I got wet. thanks for the reply's I will download the trouble shooting guide. PS stay with me guys....

I have a R10 OD in my50 ply that's giving me trouble, with the od control pushed in and driving down the road I can hear the relay click but that's all nothing else.and then when I stop I can't pull the OD control out, but if I put it in reverse then I can pull it out. has anyone ever had this happen? I don't use the kick down switch. I set it up using George Asches wiring diagram, using just the lock out and governor with a toggle switch. talking with G A and he was puzzled. he ask me to send him all the od parts. the sun gear, planetary, clutch and rollers, ring gear, shifter rail, blocker and balk ring. he called me and said everything was ok. so I reassembled OD. road test again and still the same. I am pretty frustrated. can anyone shed some lite on this for me?

that's how I got mine out was with a the 3/4 x 1/2 in. flat bar also. glad you got it out in one piece

I don't know if this is the right place to post this or not. I have searched all over the net and I cant find any left handed lug bolts. anybody got a couple I can buy 1/2 20 L

Like was mentioned a fore the blocker ring is probly out of position. if you don't have the BW Overdrive manual yet here is a couple of pages about how to reposition the blocker ring. Hope this is helpful.

Doug, shifter rail is ok. the lockout switch closes the controle circuite is ok. the solenoid energises but the pawl does not go all the way in. thats what makes me think that the blocker ring is out of position. I will follow the procedure out lined in the manual. I just thought maby someone had a trick up their sleve as to how to get the blocker ring in its correct position. Thank you for you feed back.

sorry bout that I posted duplicate pages. this is the first page.

I sure don't like to hear bad things like this.I rebuilt my R10 overdrive and installed it in my P20. and nothing! I got my overdrive manual out and read it through and through. I think I got the Blocker ring out of position. on page 10 and 11 of the Borg warner manual I read how to re position the Blocker. has anyone ever had to reposition the Blocker ring using this to correct the position that I have high lited in my attachedments. is there an easier way?

here is some photos of my floor pans.

20 ga. sounds about right. 20ga. is pretty lite, its kinda hard to weld. unless you are an expert welder. I used 16ga. when I re did my floors. tack welded about 1' apart all around then came back and finished the weld pass.you still got to go slow. don't let it get too hot. I hope this helps. others here on the forum might another way of reparing the floor pans.

This is what I got for Christmas.

give George Asche a call he can help you. his Phone no. is 814 3542621
