Yep, you can make any two things work together with enough time, money and expertise but like you said, is it worth doing? That's always the big question. Thanks for watching, MI.

Hi Nick Good morning, Great Info!!, Maybe i am the first one, I bought a brand new left over 2009 4L65E Trany for a 2 wheel drive Truck for my Project car, At the time Not knowing anything about the Change from 08 to 09, 15 pin plug to 17, My kit and set up is a E38 ECM and T42 TCM with a 2008 "Truck" operating system, My Motor is a 2006 LS2 "Vette" Motor from a wrecked corvette, The Reason why you have to use a Truck OS when using a 4L60E series with a 58X LS motor (06 & up) is because the is No Car OS durning those years , All the cars got the 6L80 6 speed transmission, So you run a "Truck OS" E38 & T42 is the way to go, with DBW and a corvette gas pedal , Anyway my kit came with the ECM- TCM, Gas pedal and harness with the 15 pin Plug, After figuring out what transmission i actually had , i did some reasearch and made a few phone calls, even got the GM bulletin on the new 09 4L65E, So i picked up a 08 valve body and spacer plate and swaped it out , Believe it or not everything works and shifts fine, except my 4th not holding 4th if i slightly lay into it, She slipps in 4th but as mentioned before i believe its the servo, The only other thing is that i never got the car to down shift 3-2 but that could be the tune , and if i lay into her in 3rd shes a animal, She put down 700 at 15 PSI,, I have a fully built (2006) 4L70E in the basement i guess i should stop playing around with a Factory spect transmission and install the built one because of the Power she makes Walter

Thanks for sharing, Walter...Yes, once you go outside of the factory PCM/command and control you have a lot more flexibility when it comes to swaps as you can tune in or out different nodes based on year and sensor suite. The 08 and back VBs would never work correctly on a purely factory application but should be fine for something using non-factory transmission control programming logic. The only real differences when it comes to command/control is the elimination of the pressure switch manifold assembly and corresponding range position pressure switches...The 09+ internal mode switch performs that function. Yes, install the 4L70E if it's built to handle that sort of power your engine's making.

​@@nickstransmissions Hi Nick good morning, Yes i finally decided to just use the built 70E and pull the 2009 65E out of the car, i am going to reinstall the 09 VB and install a Corvette servo for the 65E because its a really solid transmission and shifts beautiful and holds the power Maybe someone can use it in a later model 2009+ truck etc, OK as far as the Built 70E that i have i bought it from a friend about 5 years ago His good friend built it for him Told him what Parts to buy, it was originally for his 2 wheel drive Trail blaser SS with 6.0L on NOS , My friend was very heavy on parts , Drag racing and a heavy foot light to light, Pretty much he broke everything he owned LOL, His friend the Builder very well knew this and threw everything you can at this 70E i have the hard parts receipts for it which had sun shell, drum , shafts etc etc, OK but this is what bothers me about this 70E, The builder was known for building really good 200's the 200R4 that came in the buick Grand Nationals , As far as the hard parts and that the 70E has 5 planets im not worried about his work when it comes to that, What i more concerned with is did he install that better faster reaction springs? Did he block off the 4th accumulator, eliminate the PWM, and also that front Pump mod , I know it sounds crazy but i really cant install it not knowing that everything was done, Im going to pull the pan and look over the VB and see whats going on, i guess ill have to pull the VB to see what he did with the 4th accumulator, Not sure exactly which servo he used but it has a completely big flat cover , Walter Maybe you can walk me threw what

Dude, just go through it with a fine tooth comb and install anything that it needs, back to front....otherwise it will keep you up at night biting your nails,😬⚙️😎🍺

@@nickstransmissions LOL I hear ya, Listen I know the Builder, He was a really good Transmission guy Like yourself, I havent seen him in a long time We all moved to different locations, As far as the Hard Parts, Drum, sun shell, shafts, Clutch assemblies, ETC i believe in his work, So i dont want to go that deep into her, but the Valve body and the Front pump mod "i need to know" i would think he used the better reaction springs in the case, As far as the VB and the pump, what is important that "Must" be done for a all out performance build, if you can list them so i can make a check list for when i pull the Pan and look it all over, Be muich appreciated, and get whatever parts it needs like that fizt all valve etc, Walter

Let's flip the script here and have you list all of your "must have" hp parts and "must do" procedures and ill fill in any gaps for you. I think you have a good handle on things, awareness of what your transmission needs plus all of my 4L60E high performanve vids so watch those to generate your list. Once you post, ill review and reply back with any addl recs.

Where is your shop located? thanks

Hi d5oper - I don't give out my location info on KZread but if you'd like to contact me about transmission rebuilding, please send me a direct message on the Tahoeyukonforum.com. My user name is NickTransmissions on there. Thanks for watching!

Do you prefer a transgo plate for a rebuild

@nickstransmissions

Thanks for watching, H.W. Miller...I am good with either factory or Transgo plate for a given rebuild; I will say that, based on feedback from customers, The Transgo spacer plate provides very smooth and balanced shifts as is. Much more so than the factory plates. So if looking for a smooth shifting transmission and needs a spacer plate due to excessive damage, warpage, etc then I install a Transgo plate.

Will my 2005 transmission be able to use a 2001 valve body?

Yep...104 inch lbs on all VB-case bolts; vacuum test the 2001 VB to make sure it's good to go, convert the PWM to on-off then install it.

Is there a video explaining how. I'm not a transmission guy but doing my best to find one on here. I'm doing a ls swap and it's testing me greatly

As a matter of fact, there is: Valve Body testing PT1-Initial Results: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f6SLusmRktO_ibg.html Valve Body testing PT2-Repair: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p4J-zJWLeJyaksY.html Valve body installation: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dHmLuqZxc9XUp7Q.html

I may be missing something here. Pwm to on off takes what exactly?

Did you watch the videos? Particularly the valve body testing part 2: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p4J-zJWLeJyaksY.html I explain this in detail in that video...If you have a 2001-2003 valve body, you will want to order this Fitzall valve: www.amazon.com/4L60E-Transmission-Valve-2000-2003-Non-Can/dp/B01I21T4GE Alternatively, you can install a Transgo shift kit (SK-4L60E) and that will also come with a valve and spring to convert your TCC PWM apply to an on-off apply. One other thing I should have mentioned: If your vehicle has active cylinder management / active fuel management (ACM/AFM), you will want to keep your PWM active...I don't think any 2005 vehicles had those; I believe that did not start until 2007 w/the GMT900 series trucks/SUVs/Vans. If you have a passenger car like a GTO, check with the dealership - give the parts guy the last 8 digits of your VIN and he'll tell you if your engine is an AFM/ACM engine.
