XK8 transmission issues
#21
It's the A drum, failed at the snap ring land. Hope to get the updated drum with the dimples. Clutches look good even with 80K miles on them. Theses transmissions are built to last (except for the A drums). The entire chain of post are probably a good way to quickly get to an A drum failure diagnosis. I would do the entire testing from the TCM connector next time. . .
Buying a bug sprayer to use for pumping in the new fluid, when I put it back in this weekend. I'm going back with Mobil 1 synthetic ATF (meets the ESSO spec), and doing a fluid change every 20K miles for the rest of this baby's life.

This is the typical transmission failure mode for the 5 speed transmission. It's thought to be caused by a bad valve body which causes hard shifting and trashes the A drum. Here is the recommended resolution.
