Most likely culprit
-Low on ATF (shot the trans dipstick out at some point, added 4 qts to no avail)
-Clogged filter/pickup/valve body
-Forward gear clutch burned up
-Cracked/broken cooler line
Plan is to drop the skidplate and flush the system, change the filter, fluid. If that doesn't work I'll pull the trans and go from there.

So...
After class this morning I decided to head back home to tear into the jeep. With hunting trips the next couple weekends and finals approaching I needed to start now so I can make sure to have it ready for Clayton.
After a valiant attempt to revive the forward gears I admitted defeat...
Options are to either rebuild this one once again or move on and go with a tci

Why do you think this tranny keeps going out. I mean isn't this like your 3rd one? Do you think it is from the power of the 383? A TH350 should be able to hold it's own pretty well.

probably from the motor, i had a buddy in hs who had a 383 and a th350, he kept burning up transmissions about every 4 months

Could it possibly be that you are using the wrong converter to help with handling the power?

I have seen th350's last behind much more powerful engines than that 383. it needs a better tranny cooler, heat kills auto's.
who rebuilt this last one?

I just watched a spider dominate a fly on the wall outside, i thought would would travis do? and i did the opposite, spider lives!
hire HP to install a manual for you.
honestly? what is going on, is it grenading, burning up, or...
David Oliver went through a bunch of 700r4s before he figured out how to hook up his t/c lockup switch...th350 got one of those?
By "figured out" you mean, bought an Art Carr transmission and paid someone to install it.

A th350 will hold up with my setup, just needs different internals to handle the power. It's only been rebuilt once and had stock internals put back in. The current cooler is a tci universal but I'm going to swap it out for a better cooler even though I highly doubt its the culprit.
When I drained the pan there was definitely enough atf before adding more on the trail (thanks again Kevin and Coop). Dropped the pan to find metal shavings and black residue. The forward clutch gave out from what I can tell.

For Clayton...
-Drop the trans and take it to be rebuilt
-Reinstall trans, tcase, skidplate, etc...
-install new trans cooler, lines, and temp gauge
-mount winch

Get a cooler with a small electric fan mounted it, like what coop just sold. Then you know that the tranny is staying cool enough.

those small stacked plate coolers suck if thats thats what you are running. find a tube/fin type cooler they are much more efficient(but more expensive). when you are crawlin' you need to pull down into 1st and not use the automatic gear selection if you don't already.
