Subject: UPDATE: My 4L60 is out of the Vette. by Steve40th on 2010/2/7 2:43:38 I want you guys to be apart of this too, so here it is. Cut/pasted from another forum. Until I get notifications its hard to surf over here. Well, I went down the wonderful path of taking my damaged 4L60 out after finally getting money to get her fixed, again. Couple things I noticed. Fluid was nasty, and the pan in the transmission and the one I drained the fluid into was defiitely dark. Torque converter. It had exactly 3/16" gap when all the way into the transmission, yet the transmission shop took all that gap out and pulled it all the way to the flexplate, with no washers etc. I think that is BAD, and after searching the internet forever it was true. One of the cooler lines was already rounded, yeah for me. Its the one closest to the Servo housing, so I had to cut the line (flare it later.). Converter is painted silver, yes its a Vigilante but they fubarred it up when they did the last transmission build and painted it after they cut it open. It will be shipped back to Precision Industried for a rebuild. YEAH. The Governer plate wasnt all the way flush with the transmission case. See Pic. Filter was black. Before I take it to the shop I am going to try to at least do a pump check with the dial indicator, or do it when I get there. I am going to ask the builder to take pictures of the build, especially on the pump end play. Other than that, I am kinda tired of this crap. Any suggestions etc for checks etc before going to the shop. The guy I am taking it to is very good, good reputation etc. [IMG]http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d80/Steve40th/DSCF2253.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d80/Steve40th/DSCF2255.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d80/Steve40th/DSCF2258.jpg[/IMG] |
