So thanks in advance to any help I can get from the knowledgeable people on the forum! After being jerked around by some “reputable” shops I’ve decided to rebuild the trans myself. Vehicle is a 2008 Silverado 1500 single cab short bed Around 700rwhp. Coming off an alleged freshen up the transmission was still overheating so I’m trying to diagnose/resolve that issue as well as build it back better than it was. It has an ATI Vasco input(I was told also intermediate shaft) and an ATI billet forward hub. Shift kit is transgo HD2.
so this is the bottom friction/steel in the overrun clutch
notching in the 4th housing
p
snap ring seems to be rolled upward
So obviously there’s an issue here but I’m not sure what caused it. I know there was a ridiculous amount of front end play. I didn’t put my dial on it but there was easily 1/4”-3/8” of input shaft play(that includes up to snap ring)
My next question is about the HD2. I know it is not ideal but what are my options now? I have a call into CK but have not heard back yet. I would rather not buy a new VB but will to make it right. One issue is the drilled across the partition and I’m not sure if this will definitely cause an issue. I definitely want to internally dual feed but confused on what direction to go already having the HD2. It does have the pressure relief setup that I’m sure I’m supposed to plug
So I will start with this and see what feedback I receive. I have all the parts I believe for a solid rebuild and basically using all the advice I’ve read from @clinebarger that I could find! Thanks
