Budget Turbo Yukon XL 4L80 Conversion (Part 2): Prep For Boosted Power! TransGo HD2 ShiftKit Install

[@Stapleton42]

Does seeing this process make the insides of a transmission less “scary” and want to try it out....or did it just solidify the fact that it’s not something you want to mess with? 😂 Merch link: Stapletonautoworks.com

[@krazymann15]

This is better than doing the actual paper tests and answering questions on how to determine what the fluid flow is based on the trans model and what gear is being selected. The tests are maze puzzles. Shift kits and rebuilds are not too bad. Figuring out how to stuff more friction surface area into the trans and how to make the trans robust is hard (special tools are also a thing). You're helping out A LOT!. Prep and cleaning with a dash of patience goes far.

[@drewharper9044]

The yellow tag on the side is the manufacture tag and it has the date code for the trans, not a reman tag. Thanks for having the balls to dive into something like this!! lol

My dad & I use to use a hydraulic jack and a ratchet strap out in our driveway with a piece of plywood on the gravel so the jack would roll.

[@kennyfofo]

In my younger days (mid 20's) I got into a ford c4 trans and put it together and it didn't work because I didn't ask for help that could have saved it. But I learned from my mistakes which turned out to be a good thing. Keep putting in the work and it will pay off in the end! And if people don't get that they can just "SUCK IT"! I watch too learn and be entertained! Uncle Rob will rock!!

I installed a Transgo shift/respool kit in my 2014 Chrysler's 5 speed NAG1(Mercedes Benz built) automatic, made a world of difference and shifts very firm now with AMG blue top shift solenoids. This luxury barge gets a nice chirp on a 1-2 shift for a 4500 lb car.....!! Uncle Rob's rig will certainly benefit from these mods! Keep the great content coming.

Logan now has better knowledge of the internal workings an automatic transmission than most of us do! I know the many I changed were not dis-assembled or repaired by me. They either came from auto salvage or I payed the big bucks at the transmission shop!

[@2GSpyderTurbo]

Drinking some Shiner Berliner Weiss and watching you do a shift kit is just what I needed to relax before the crazy week ahead. I too am an automatic nubsack due to having manual cars up until I started my 1st gen Dakota build. I'm about to build an A518(46RH) for her so she can do dank nasty burnouts. It's already got a 360 Magnum under the hood with a Hughes Engines cam and ported EQ heads. Built the valve train to handle the extra lift/rpm and installed a Monkey Wrench DTT limited slip rear diff on the stock 3.55:1 rear gear. It's my daily/work truck and I love it. Got working power windows and cold AC and intend on keeping both as I make it a nasty burnouts truck.

Twisting the switch assembly serves to keep the o-rings in place, those membranes are your pressure switches for different circuits. There is also a temperature sensor in that assembly. The hd2 pressure relief valve is mostly for cold temperatures where the pressures can spike and split drums.

Since I started watching the LSXcalade and this build, I have sold my side by side to buy a SCSB silverado (searching for one now) to start a similar build. Always wanted a turbo 4x4 project! This motivated me to do it! I'll be continuing to watch the builds!

[@sendit9129]

Man how you approach your knowledge of something in a fashion that you know "nothing" while obviously having a pretty solid fundamental understanding is awesome. I feel like when someone enters to mindset of "being an expert", they close out the opportunity of learning anything new. That attitude has gotten you far, but I feel like its only the beginning of where you're going. Also, I'll be paying attention on the 80e swap. My poor tow pig has a 60e (listen.. don't ask..), and I just tuned out Torque management, not to mention for whatever reason my dumbass is already eyeballing a small charger to bolt onto it for some "usable power". Needless to say, my 10bolt may end up being a part of a NASA space station and my 60e will probably get so got it melts the case before all is said and one.

Sonnax has a boost valve that eliminates high line pressure issues. That’s what that cheesy plunger and spring thing does in the HD2 kit (which is known to have problems). A lot of people opt to leave out the HD2 version and use the sonnax boost valve. I have it mine for 3-4 years now with no problems.

You can use vassaline or wheel bearing grease on the valve body gaskets so they can be reused the next tear down, also helps keep the check balls in place if no ones pointed that out yet. Just a little help, cause not everyone has to learn the hard way.

I'm in the same boat when it comes to automatic transmissions. I have no idea what kind of Black Magic wizardry goes on inside there. That's why I stick to manuals... BUT My Fummins Excursion has an automatic with a larger trans cooler & larger trans pan for added fluid capacity to keep the temps low because as I'm sure you know, heat kills automatics. Hope you got the shift kit installed successfully. I guess we'll see on your next video on Uncle Rob!!! Don't knock on "sloppy mechanics way" if that's all you got to go on... I generally go with what forums say & do some extra research if needed.
