I also need to tell those in readerland I have a gear vendor in the car also. Gear vendor swears there is nothing that can cause slipping at WOT with the overdrive off. The input/output shafts are locked together by a sprag. Since I’m sitting along the road waiting on a flatbed, I decided to...

A few months ago I started a thread on a th400 that goes to nuetral at WOT. I rebuilt another core, out of a 69 442. New Raybestos GPX frictions in the forward clutch, Sonnax clutch hub with bearing, new 34 element sprag, bushings, thrust washers, roller clutch, bands, etc. Took the car out for...

Are they worth anything on a time slip? Is there anything to be gained by using them? I have some .077 intermediate steels with the turbulator holes, I thought about using them in a 400 build. I have 2 of them, if I decide to use them I need 2 more. Problem is, I have no idea where they came...

What has happened here?! This place use to have a wealth of tech info. The discussions have really dried up.

I’m building a 4L80, this came out of a plow truck, and more snow is on the way. I ordered a TransGo shift kit, I got the small shift correction kit, without the spacer plate to dual feed. The guy is in a hurry to get it back, its his money maker. I have never done a dual feed on a 4L80, other...

Too much time bench racing!! Just out of curiosity, TH400 trans, if you machined every surface that has a thrust washer for a bearing, what if anything could you expect to see on a time slip? Ever done a back to back test on a dyno? I would think it would have to be worth something, as much as...

I guess I will find out how well it works. Thanks

The machine does use a powdered soap, it turns the water a kinda brown color, almost like a weak tea. I did put some in a water bottle and put it in the freezer. It took longer than plain water but it did freeze. Anybody in reader land know how much RV antifreeze it would take to treat 35 gallons?

My hot water jet wash machine is in a garage that isn’t heated 24 hrs a day. Sometimes it might days it’s in the cold. I have always drained it for the winter, a friend asked if there was something that could be used to keep it from freezing. My first thought, RV antifreeze? For what I hope are...

The bushings/beatings/thrust washer wear appears normal. Unfortunately, I can’t duplicate the issue on the street. It will be early next spring before I know if the clutch was the issue. Thanks.

I have installed a new roller clutch, and a later model center support that uses the thin snap ring to protect the case. I’m putting it back together as is, other than the aforementioned parts everything looks new. I’m going to roll the dice and hope for the best.

I would assume 165 should be enough? Factory blue pressure regulator spring with 2 horseshoe clips.

About 165 in drive with the modulator unhooked.

Ok, finally got around to pulling the trans and tearing into it. All the frictions look like new, the pump is perfect, the only issue I found that I don’t like is the rollers on the low/reverse roller clutch fall out of the retainer, zero spring tension. I also used a early center support...

I have done some research, maybe I’m not using the right words find info. I figured aluminum Fairbanks 500 valve body would be pretty obvious. If you found or know of any links I’d appreciate it
