Had a feeling it may have been that.

Easiest way to work on it, as well as confirming the detent assembly is functioning properly.

If you want to get even more technical, not only should the holes face down, but the 15° angle in relation to the centerline of the mounting bolts should swing towards the valves to provide proper lubrication, according to the people who designed it.

Spacer rings look like they are missing as well.

That's what I was referring to regarding confirming if the arm is properly engaging the manual valve. You may need to drop the valve body in order to adjust the height of the detent plate to get the arm to seat between the two stops on the manual valve (if the arm interferes with the outer...

Was the E clip that retains the kickdown rod removed at any point? I would drop the pan and confirm that the arm near the NSS wiper (if '69-up) is properly engaging the manual valve. When you say the fluid is full and pumping, how was the pumping confirmed? Either way, the park rod engaging with...

518's have a small block bolt pattern.

VR-1 10W-30 has 1400ppm of zinc. Why would that need an additive? Been using it during and ever since break-in with no problems.

What oil are you using?

Shimming the relief valve spring only increases the bypass pressure. It has to reach or exceed the rated psi first, which, going by the op's specs is nowhere near that.

Did he check bearing clearances during assembly?

The op implied that the water pump pulley needed to be shimmed instead of the crank pulley. Yes, shims are available for the wp pulley. Mopar 340/440 BB/SB Pulley Belt Alignment Shim KIt / Stop Squeals Plymouth Dodge | eBay

You can also try switching to a standard pressure relief spring. I think the standard Mellings are rated at 45psi.

I would think so, just make sure your level is full at all times.

Unless you want that mixing with your oil.

How old are your u joints?

I seem to recall those used a rubber sealing ring under the metal washers.

If it's the oval 3 pin it's the RH. The RE had the round connector. Either way, just a guess, but the overdrive/lockup solenoid could have failed which would require dropping the valve body to check and/or replace. While it's out I would do a thorough cleaning and rebuilding of the valve body. A...

Do you have the oval 3 pin connector or round connector near the neutral safety switch?
