Fantastic advice. I build my 1st 350 turbo hydramatic 25 yrs ago with success. Your advice on homemade tools is wise. 1 thing to emphasize..... be CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN... especially on the valvebody. This is why a metal top work space is important.

1:53 they came out a couple years after I was born, so 40+ years now! I remember my dad had a nearly new 89 Sierra 4x4 ext cab long box (with a 305!) and I always thought 1st gear was so short. Years later I learned it's over 3:1, much deeper than a TH350,400,etc. I haven't done much trans work, but 20+ years ago I put a shift kit in my friends 700 in his 89 IROC. I warned him that it might fishtail easier around corners, especially in the rain 😂

I build my 700r4 4 years ago and its still working GREAT behind a 400hp (dyno'd 340+ at the wheels) all I did was study GMs manuals and watched a BUNCH of precision transmissions videos and bought me the bowler shift bracket kit for my carb. The rebuild kit was the SS mega monster in a box.

Sounds like your alarm system is beeping 😂 as a cable guy, I hear that in a lot of homes.

Use the old trans fluid or heating oil for the shop. Or bring it to a recycling center.

it cost me 1100 dollars just in parts to rebuild a 4l60e, but I know it will last a long time..some high quality snap ring pliers are a must.... a clean working area, and a case of brakeclean... I pressure wash the case of the trans before disassembling.. if u send your trans out to a shop, u never know what u will get.. trans shops end up with alot of spare parts and im sure they are tempted to put used, questionable parts in the rebuilds.. the fact that most trans shops off a very short warranty, tell you they arent really rebuilding them, they are freshing them up and cleaning them.

What you say is so true, I like the peace of mind that comes with knowing its done well, and when something goes wrong I have no one to blame :)
