The lower step is the same od as the id of the bushing (less a thou or 2) The upper step of the bushing will match the bore the bushing will go into (less a couple of thou). I have never seen a driver set work, other than the specific specialty drivers offered for transmsiions. Most shops have an approx 40 pc master set that runs 6-7 hundred bucks or more. I own the 13 piece set specific to a 700r4, and think I paid about $300 for it. Perhaps e-bay has used sets?
I understand the 2 step function. ebay is a great option as well as Craigs list. Infact there are 2 sets on CL now with about a dozen pieces each ranging in size from 3/8 to 1 3/8 on the largest. Ijust need to know whats the largest one I'll run into. would sets this small cover any of what I might run across? Mabey I'll just need to grab a set like you have pete only specific to the 700r4/4l60e. I can't say price is no option, but I can spend to buy what I'll be needing. I'm a Pharmacist and I'm used to learning something new every day, but this cancer/chemo has had me out of work now for 2 years and I need to keep learning something new or I'll go bananas! I like a good challenge and this seems like it will make me think. So, basically, I need to know if sets in that size range will be a good starting point? are they too small? need to be metric? and what is the largest I should expect to see.
P.S. sorry for the rant mid-paragraph gents, no offense I hope. alan
