A HD stock build up is always welcome with a list of "Should replace as long as we are in there". Corvette servo, HD sun shell, wide band, 3-4 pistons and HD clutch build to start. Maybe a little discussion on spacer plates and check balls. Anything to address the weak points. Thanks.

I'm always up for a build video. Especially when somebody does it right.

It could be either electrical or mechanical. It will take some diagnosis to find out. If I was to guess, with no check engine light, it's probably a forward sprag or the 3-4 clutch is just done. Like I said though, it will take some diagnosis.

Im starting to wonder if the gear on the shaft for the speed sensor migrated, keeping the shaft from going in far enough.. we cant compare the old snap ring to the new one, because it shot out somewhere.. im wondering if the last builder used a thinner snap ring. im also wondering if shoddy aftermarket parts were used, that affected the tolerances.. im abt 2 mm short. thanks for any help.. we took it apart, and reassembled it 3 times, so I am pretty sure we are installing everything correctly.

Very impressive . I have a 98 c5 corvette that originally was leaking . I found a 10 mm bolt in the pan . I just wanted to change the fluid and fix the leak .

Our dealership policy prohibits me from rebuilding one of that age. They don't want to have to deal with a warranty issues. I can't really give you an exact cost, especially since the whole rear end has to come apart. The trans itself would probably be between 1400 on the low end and 2800 depending on current market prices and availability. That does not include remove and replace time....

I called around to a ton of places around me about rebuilding mine and nobody does it on the bench anymore because of too many problems with customers. Now as far as I'm concerned, if you rebuild a transmission completely and not skip out on things, no one should have a problem. It would technically be like getting one from a dealership right? I understand the issue with customers installing themselves but seriously, there's only a handful of things they could screw up and obviously nothing inside the transmission. I mean there really is only the front seal if for some reason they took the converter off and rear seal if no transfer case, and cooler lines. I get some want you to replace the cooler and lines or hot flush if someone has a machine to do it but other than that i mean it's all on the quality of the parts and person who did it.

For the record the day I got it and brought it to work I had the shop try it out on tractor lugnuts. They didn't have time to really test it but blasted on a nut at over 400 ft lbs and took it off. I asked Ridgid for the specs and their answer was it's in the manual but it wasn't and they apologized. That was the first model which was $329 at the time. They discontinued that one and came out with a slightly smaller one but I haven't had the pleasure because that monster has done just about everything I've thrown at it and what it couldn't do I had to break off with a breaker bar and all my body weight.

Why would a pump in 4l60e fit one convertor but one convertor won’t go in all way to have enough room to bolt up flywheel

@IrocinZ

3 жыл бұрын

You have to make sure you have the right converter for the right shaft. The 300mm won't interchange with a 298mm for one. And when installing the converter, it should drop in a total of three times. If you get two and not the third, you will destroy the pump as the last drop is when the converter engages in the pump.
