goin out to see if i can get these last 2 bolts off n drop the trans. then i clean it to death and disassemble it

 

do you have a jack and strap for catching it?

it hurts when they roll of a block of wood and hit you on the head...........don't ask

 

lol yea i have a jack brotha. but now i cant get this trans to slide fully off and out... the input shaft is hanging in there. do i remove all the bolts on the plate????

 

You did separate the flywheel from the torque converter? It is common practice to separate the flywheel and the converter BEFORE you remove the first trans bolt. Normally you want to see clearance between the flywheel and the torque converter because any side stress on the torque converter will damage it. If you did not take the flywheel off any the trans is hanging on the torque converter you are going to need a new torque converter and most likely a new front pump.
You should not have to deal with you input shaft until after the transmission is out and you decided to remove the torque converter.

 

im replacing the latter anyway.. and thank you for your help

 

Look for any marks on the Converter groove. The groove that fits into the transmission if there are any marks on it your going to need a front pump. I would not trust that pump anymore.

You really have no idea what your getting into with this rebuild. There are 1000 things you can do wrong in a rebuild and it only takes one to trash your tranny. You would be better off with a used low miles unit fram a yard with a warranty.

 

have a look at this. found in the how to and faq sticky at the top of the 4th gen section. https://camaroforums.com/forum/4th-g...mission-52327/ also look over these sites, this one is a site sponsor and are a very good place to deal with.http://www.performabuilt.com/gm%20pe...d%20truck.html this is the place i got my trans from, they do sell performance parts for the 4l60e and 700r4 Performance Transmissions and Parts from PATC 700R4 AOD 4L80E 48RE

 

wow craby. i appreciate you doin all that for me. thank you

 

Ok, so i R&R'd it, i upgraded alot of ****, and replaced all bad parts. only cost about 700$ and it runs so nice.. until a few minutes ago i only have the forward gears. no reverse. but i went out, dropped the pan, and rechecked the boost valve (which wasnt in all the way) and i took 2 screwdrivers and got that son of a ***** in the groove and now i has reverse

 

kool good to hear... ok now where the heck are the pictures???
