    Transmission Upgrade?

    Agree, I also like the visibility it brings to the transmission community (lol)

    I'd do it if you're racing/street-stip and the like...Keeps you in the power band and accelerating nicely during the 2nd gear shift vs bleeding so much of it going off before you finally recover before shifting into 3rd...As you said, the pain is all in the price but buy once, cry once...

    Take a pic of the metal disc then remove it - take another pic of what's behind it and post them both here. Assumimg you are looking at the governor and not the speedo housing bore, I'm curious to see what you're seeing.

    Lol, you'd be thinking wrong. I get what summit outlet is, it sells blems that aren't impactful to the functionality of the unit - I've done this a few times myself and beefed up the unit for whatever purpose or vehicle. What I'm saying is that you should have purchased a Gen1 SBC-compatible...

    Yes, lots of folks are suckers for good deals, and unfortunately, they are rarely actually good. All too many folks leap before they look when it comes to transmissions, simply because they don't know any better. I could have laid it all out for you insofar as what to do and how to build the...

    All that should work as long as you use the adaptor kit. The bells are deeper on the LSx Gen3 SBCs than they are on the 4L60Es that went in behind a Gen1 small block. You need a TMBX converter as well. Why did you buy a 4L60E for a gen3 small block? You could have saved a lot of money and...

    Too bad...hope you wont experience the cross leaks and premature applied element failures that are common with that rivited sandwich plate and/or experience a failure associated with their pressure relief mechanism. You could have accomplished everything that kit does and more for less than...

    4L80E Information Thread

    Starting a 4L80E information thread for those that want to learn more about this transmission (the best GM ever produced in my humble opinion), considering it for a resto-swap into a Squarebody truck or K5 Blazer (or anything for that matter) and/or considering taking on a rebuild of this...

    You didn't actually install that Transgo HD2 kit, did you?

    No idea until you provide more information like what transmission you have and why you think you need some sort of adaptor or spacer.

    700r4 speedo port not spinning at all.

    Maybe - not sure to be honest...You'll have to research that question or maybe someone else will respond to confirm/deny

    yep, those parts will work.

    Little port thing? Lol, are you working on a boat? Kidding aside, simply remove the speedometer housing w/ driven gear and seal (dont lose the little retaining ring) then install the new driven gear, replace the seal if it hasnt been replaced already then bolt the assembly back in place in the...

    700R4 Information Thread

    Go to Pick-a-Parts and start looking at GM Squarbody trucks in the yard, particularly at the trans cross members and relationship to the frames. Maybe take one that looks 'correct' loose to see how it would sit/set up prior to being bolted back in place. What you're trying to determine is if...

    Don't trash those early cores, simply converter them to the L84-87 standard via swapping in a '152' input drum (30 spline) and 303/304 pump cover and body assembly (non-aux valve body style pump). Install the updated 29-element input sprag gear assembly, 4L60E forward wave/cushion plate, coast...

    Any Dex/Merc certified fluid will do. Dex VI is said to be backwards compatible but not necessary.

    Mechanical lock up applies in 4th gear only as far as I know. The Superior Tech kit comes with five or six different lock up springs; the stiffest spring will provide the latest lock up road speed. You will likely need to use the Transgo 700P spacer plate and follow their instructions for set...

    I don't see why not as long as the material you'll be using is sufficiently strong for how it's going to be used and you have the "program" for each gear.

    700R4 Information Thread

    Very cool recollection...Do you remember installing, adjusting a TV cable? If not or one was never installed, it's a good bet that a CP valve body was involved. Also, the fact it lasted only 20k miles lends more credence to one being on that trans since that's about how long they typically last...

    Many times? As in, not ALL THE TIME? If it takes you several times to count the number of teeth, you're doing something wrong. Take a sharpie, mark one of the teeth then start counting. Stop when you get to the marked tooth. That works all the time. If the gear is 100% stripped then tooth...

    You're welcome...if you're readings are within the ranges they should be then gov is the next thing id look at followed by valve body but dont mess with anything else until we see your line pressure readings...

    Let me know your readings at min and full TV then we'll go from there.

    Easy - go get a transmission pressure gauge and follow these instructions (start on page 11): https://images.carid.com/bm/transmission-and-drivetrain/pdf/70235-installation-instructions.pdf
