4L60E rebuild. What did I get myself into...? :P
Hey team, - hopefully you get this Nick I’m Getting back into this rebuild, after having to wait for some parts….. ended up getting the Borg Warner sprag so I’m good to go there. I do have another query that may be able to be answered, I’m just in the process of assembling the forward drum...- Hbrent

They probably would be able to order it, but that is an item they haven’t got on hand ready to go….. and they wouldn’t be able to get it any cheaper than I could just ordering it myself from Rock Auto. I have ordered a whole new servo unit via EBay US….. says arrival is Sep 20th, but usually...- Hbrent

Yea I’m a little limited with my access to these parts… not quite so common down here in New Zealand….. we had numerous GM vehicles here during the 70’s thru to the 90’s, they were Australian made Holdens…. which ran mostly TH300 and 400’s. But those vehicles have all but disappeared from our...- Hbrent

Yea cheers guys, when I purchased the new corvette servo, I skimped and didn’t buy the whole unit, so I had to reuse the old pin and 4th piston. So it’s kinda weird, cause that piston would have had to have been on that pin previously, but no way it’s going on there nicely now that’s for sure. I...- Hbrent

just assembling the corvette servo that I purchased…. the 4th piston which sits in the cover, was ultra tight on the servo pin, to the point where I had to bang it down the pin….. is that going to be okay? In that it doesn’t need to be free and easy on the pin?- Hbrent

It’s not even really the product itself, it’s the delivery cost with some of your outfits…. Amazon US and Summit offer really reasonable delivery costs. Places like OPT, Remco and Performance Automotive seem to calculate their delivery costs at astronomical/unreasonable prices! Amazon US and...- Hbrent

Thanks heaps for your time on this Nick, is much appreciated….. Would a TCI element 29 forward sprag be alright? I know Borg Warner is the premium, but they’re not available for delivery to NZ on Amazon, there are other companies in the US that will deliver them but at ridiculous prices ($140US...- Hbrent

Okay sweet, few more things to buy, new pistons, return spring assembly and new input sprag clutch. I’ll most certainly do as you recommend. I have hit the link and found your videos, they seem thorough and informative. May have to consider shelving Hiram. I did actually click on one of your...- Hbrent

Yep, thanks for your reply, figured that was what needed doing in regards to the lip seal and piston….. I’ve just ordered two more sets and will attack it again. I haven’t updated the pistons, do you think it’s best I do? I haven’t updated the return spring, do you also recommend to? Yep, have...- Hbrent

Hey guys, first time caller here, have had great fun reading through this thread as I am mid way through rebuilding my 700r4 out of a 1988 GMC. I have been following through a highly informative you tube video on a channel called Automatic Transmission by a guy called Hiram (I forget his last...- Hbrent
