Take it back to the shop that replaced the transmission.
Sounds like you don't have real gauges, just the "gauge on a can thing". Here we deal with both low and high pressures at about 1800 rpm, and preach against any leak seal chemicals or refrigerant containing sealers.....

Re: A/C Clutch Will not Engage 2010 Mustang 4.0
Another problem that surfaces frequently on this Forum is the clutch gap—that is, a feeler-gauge measurement of the space between the clutch's drive and driven plates. For most vehicles, it should be ~0.020" or the thickness of a business card. If the gap is too wide, the clutch probably won't...

Re: 2003 GMC yukon XL / Chevy Suburban
Cusser, depending on the size of your ports, they make on-the-fly valve core changing tools that I am sure you might be familiar with. Google search this, R134a valve core Removal Tool, and be aware that there are several different styles out there for different refrigerant fittings. Even a residen...

Re: Ford Ranger Compressor Cutting Out
Took the car for a 30-40 minute test drive, up hill, to keep the engine at it's warmest & rpm high. The AC stayed cold throughout the test drive. Thermometer vent readings dropped as low 1 degrees C - mind you it was a cool overcast day today (ambient temp ~ 29 degrees, ~ 25 degrees C at the hi...

Re: 2003 GMC yukon XL / Chevy Suburban
With a truck that old, you might not have a leak that can be found, might just have normal leakage. All AC systems leak with time, this is normal. You are just low on refrigerant. Have the existing refrigerant recovered, have it charged to the weight listed on your under hood sticker. My 1994 and 2...

Re: New Parts But Can't Pull a Good Vacuum
Lesson learned is to be patient installing things. I should have been more diligent aligning the accumulator port. Esox - I can't say for sure on a 2000, but I remember our 1994 Suburban having very troublesome, poorly-engineered connection at the accumulator. And I saw lots of posts on accumulator...

Re: 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 AC high side at 430 PSI at idle
State whether the pressure was measured at about 2000 rpm, that's important.
When you monkeyed with the original cooling fan system, did you retain the fan shroud?

Re: 1991 Mustang GT w/ R12 - need help
In Phoenix, there are shops who service R-12 systems as recently as a couple of years ago; even the local ASE shop I use checked my 1988 Mazda truck for leakage and filled it a few years ago when I wanted to know the oz. R-12 in it. I'd be real surprised if there are no shops in S. California that s...

Re: 2012 Honda Civic Only cools when driving
Honda Civic Only cools when driving This screams of poor air flow over the condenser, like an electric fan not working properly (correct speed, correct direction of install, lack of plastic shrouding to direct the air). When I contacted the repair place, I was told this is typical for these small c...
