So, Ive been trying to figure this one out in my CVLX. A couple times on my trip to Vegas and back when I would come off the highway, make a hard stop at the end of the ramp and if I got back into it really quick I would get a 'neutral drop' with the engine free revving then it slamming into gear.
I got it to do it yesterday while I was driving around. I was on wet asphalt and when it did this it broke traction right rear.
Im pretty certain its because the pump is sucking air. I have the correct amount of fluid in it, but I think the deep transmission pan I have on it is allowing too much fluid movement. The factory 4R70 pan has a small 2x2" extended sump in the middle of the pan and the filter pickup sticks into it for this reason.
I went out and found the filter I recently pulled off the CVPI and measured the filter intake extension as 1 1/8" OD.
Ive been thinking about putting something on it to extend the pickup down further into the pan. I found some silicone radiator hose sold by speedshops on the internet in 1 1/4" ID x 6" L that may just work. I think I would only need to drop the intake a couple inches; maybe 2 or 3" at the most.
What do you guys think?
