@primetime here is the link to P10's build that Cline assisted with. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/4l80e-build.304941/page-6 P10 has some series machining skills and made all his bushing drivers and nice jig to measure(post #117). I initially measured my planetary clearance with a...

Referencing off your information from P10's 4l80 build and Sonnax's end play guide https://www.sonnax.com/tech_resources/237-playing-with-transmissions-setting-total-endplay-to-prevent-th400-gear-train-failure . I made a jig to measure the front to rear planetary play, not anywhere near as nice...

Is it worth taking the planetary to my friend(pro welder) with a tig, and put a little tack on those pins to prevent that issue again? I gotta go over to his place anyway to drop off another project.

Luckily those are the 2 things I needed, now the bad: Pic #1 The horseshoe washer is wore down on at least one of the front planetary. pic #2 It included the rear sprag, but it wasn't as pictured and has some heavy contact marks. My original one still looks fine. pic #3 #4 Sun gear looks to be...

I know a .090 doesn't go under the ledge, so I'll order a couple forward and direct steels on next parts order to work out the clearance. Will it be ok to use a used forward steel as the shim if still in good shape? The forward assemble wasn't burnt up, just the direct assembly. Did some ebay...

Now for some ugly... Pic #1: rear planet, 3 of the pins had started to move out( I knocked them back in, they were sticking out. and hitting the ring gear pic #2. I can tig them but worried not enough meat is left on the pin for strength. So now I'm debating on getting a used rear planet and...

that was some of the good, now for some of the bad...here is what the directs looked like when I took them apart...beyond burnt and oddly only some were complete gone while others still measured close to specs...stacked in order they came out...Is this a normal high mileage scenario? 1st pic...

Started to assemble direct with new ck performance piston, and noticed wave plate is under the notch bottom groove. Not sure if that could spin and get stuck under groove, locking clutch? CK's instructions don't mention not using wave plate Still waiting on order for disk and friction to finish...

How I removed inner seal on forward clutch. Just light pressure to hold it in place. I'm sure there is a special tool for installing also which I don't have. I didn't have a socket large enough, but had a ball joint press/removal tool set (can be loaned from most parts stores) that had an...

Resurrecting my old thread after a million other projects got in the way and this got set aside... Starting with over run noticed a little flaw in one springs on the sprag, so ordered a new one. After ordering replacement I saw where Clinebarger said the earlier version is better. Maybe on next...

Guess it was amateur hour time...You the man Cline, with the dark coating it looked smooth...I think after dealing with those 2 seals on the overdrive assembly I was looking for a reason to take a break😅.

Finally got some free time to work on this some, so resurrecting my old post. While replacing the bushing in the overrun clutch housing, there was a difference in the larger bushing. The factory (i'm assuming federal mogul, had FM on it) was fluted and the the Durabond one is not. In the CK...

Thanks Capri. I've done the same with making some china bombs last, but I was staying mostly local with friends only a phone call away if 2 did pop(always carried 1 spare). I had intentions of doing some long hauls on weekends on expressways where those china bombs strike. Most don't follow the...

I know I'd get the, he's trying to sell his stuff over walmart quotes lol...I simply asked the guy what brand trailer tire he recommended. There is only a few brands most use that put a lot of miles on trailer, or if he would recommend put LT tires on. I was wondering what he recommended as he...

Was shopping for some trailer tires and was talking to a fellow racer that is a tire retailer what he suggested as a good tire. I told him I was gonna buy from WalMart not for price, but if I did/when blow a tire I can go to nearest Walmart(their everywhere 24/7) and get it replaced while under...
