Let me look around to see if I still have it. I have an l31 v8 now so all obd2.

Yeah I always trash plastic pistons. Have about 10 aluminum ones with varying pin sizes I've either bought new or extracted from good cores. I think the scotch brite pad for hitting parts is a great...

I know there are tolerances I just want to have it last as long as possible.

Yeah the first rebuild sucked with no 3 and 4. This time around I found 2 missing parts and the clutch clearances were way out of whack.
2 concerns on this build:

I have no tools to measure the...

The 1/2 shift was pure sex. The internals were brutal the first time around. The 2nd time it was immaculate.

Company on ebay called shift rite. So far ie had 2 from them working great.

I ground notches on the 2nd land 3/16 inch and drilled out the valve out 1/64 iirc. They called for a #60 bit and this was just slightly smaller.

I got a brand new transgo plate with my reman valve body. To hell with reusing spacer plates!

They both look fantastic. I'll just reuse and cross my fingers.

Here to bring a little sunlight and possibly laughter to you people.

Started working from the ground up on the 4l60e on my bench. Rebuild 2. Following advice from buddrow I learned that I had...

Awesome find vandura!

Can you try and find out what scale the baro is using? It could be out of 100, kpa, hg, etc. I don't know how to do it myself, 97.8 is strange. I would expect 0 being WOT and 30 being complete vacuum...

The vacuum switch has a ball that protrudes just beneath the surface of the 233 tcase, the electronic switch protrudes a good 3/8 inch beneath. The threads are the same but after looking inside of...

I'm right there with you 78 monte. I've actually been thinking about doing a step by step setup. The next day or so it's hot or rainy I'll post something up and pm steveo to see if he can add to it. ...

Hey Buddrow you might know the quick/dirty answer for this: My brother gave me an np241 tcase.

History: He bought it and a transmission that had 20k after reman on them from goodwrench. He just...

I read to set the air regulator to 40psi to reduce the flying parts phenomonon. Thanks a ton! Ill check the feed holes. From everything i can see the r4 is a 92/93 and the bravada is a 94. Both caees...

A 10 minute drive going through all the gears under normal driving and possibly some WOT passes would be awesome. I'd like to see your 1-2 and 2-3 shift times and when you go into lockup how it holds.

Buddrow: Awesome info. I believe you are referring to "air checking" the drum assy. I'll get er done tomorrow. You motivated me to clean up my shop so now I got an np241 I just went through for...

Here is a video explaining o2 sensors.

After the 3/4 failed I bought and installed a reman valve body from Shift Rite Transmissions.

3/4 clutches look new. I haven't torn the valve body apart since nothing changed after the install...

Buddrow I wish you were a little further south. I've been dying to find a local trans guy that will teach me. Everyone I've met thus far is more of a "I buy remans and install them" type service man....

Yeah Buddrow is saying what you are experiencing is normal.

I replaced everything, used one piece seals on the input shaft. it just free wheeled after 2nd gear. On the initial test drive it did have 3/4 albeit incredibly poorly for a few seconds then quit...

Yeah, sounds like hydraulic issues. There shouldn't be any "slam" but honestly taking a ride experience, turning that data into words and hoping the guy on the other end comprehends what really...

Do a test and see if your motor mounts are broken. On the s series the 4.3 motor mounts are poorly designed with no interlock. When the rubber fails from abuse/age/heat it just separates nad lets the...
