TH350 Transmission Rebuild Part 2

[@rustykeaton8803]

Hey man I just wanted to say thank you! Im currently rebuilding one out of my k10. This helps so much more than I can express. Looking forward to the next video with the shift kit and governor stuff. Thanks again. God bless.

I’m glad it helped you! I’ll be maki g that video this week and getting it out either end of this week or early next week.

Dude you earned this and all your subs, thank you!! I am in the middle of a TH350 rebuild (at the scrub and clean, scrub and clean part) and your videos are the only reason I am even attempting this. Even if this doesn't work, I still thank you for the videos!

[@WarPaintOffroad]

Thanks for the support! You got this!

Thanks, love your video. I'm rebuilding a TH350 for my neighbor. Somebody I don't know just rebuilt this one and it wouldn't do anything. put it on it's back on a bench, pulled the pan then pulled the valve body. Between the valve body and the steel plate was one flat washer laying on the steel towards the rear of the trans? I don't think space between the two pieces is a speed secret. Don't know how or why and I know it doesn't there. Thanks again ANB

Thank you so much for explaining it so well good stuff

Never rebuilt a transmission before. Because of this video, I think I am going to embark on rebuilding my C10 TH350c. I don't have any issues with it but I just build a SBC 355 to replace the tired 305 in my 1983 C10. Really like the TH350c vs 700R4, but seems like no one rebuilds the 350c. Let's give this a shot... I'll let you know how it goes.. Thanks for the confidence.

It’s not too difficult. I’m glad it helped you and motivated you. It’s just a matter of following the directions. Make each step precise and get after it!

[@Hamm-toneGuitars]

This video is very well done. Thanks for such a thorough presentation. I’m now leaning towards doing it myself instead of paying someone else a lot of money! 🤞👏

[@WarPaintOffroad]

Thanks for the support! It’s not super hard. Just have to do each step properly. Take your time

[@bryantwhitis6446]

Top of the line. Torque converter for this specific transmission?

[@bryantwhitis6446]

Yes, take notes, go rewind if needed the authentic shop teacher step by step instructions take a lot of patients and proper tools one can do it

[@zanephillips6063]

thank you so much for doing this.

[@WarPaintOffroad]

I hope it helps you!

I saw where you talked about end play without the clutches. But I didn’t see where you showed how to check end play when fully assembled. Did I miss it?

[@WarPaintOffroad]

No. You didn’t. The file when I was recording was corrupted. But there are other video’s out there specifically on checking end play. A couple different ways to do it.

I have a 70 nova and my 350 is 2WD. Is this the same process? Also what did you use to clean transmission and remove rust? I know you said brake cleaner but what type of cleaning utensils. Thank you and great video!

[@WarPaintOffroad]

So there are only some very minor differences to the 2wd. The only ones are really on the tail housing and a longer output shaft. But it’s very simple. The rust in this trans was not terrible. It looked worse than it was. So I used brake cleaner and a small 2 inch surface conditioning discs on a twist lock bit in my drill. Took it all right off. You can find that stuff @harborfreight.

[@jamesangus5307]

Thanks!

[@jamesangus5307]

Thanks I feel comfortable with it ,my only question is about the assembly lube ,put it in everything or not ?

[@jamesangus5307]

Metal to metal I meant and on the bushings or not

[@brysonwalker8338]

GREAT VIDEO!!! I did have a quick question. Can you use a shop press with that bearing install tool to press the bearings down? Probably a lot quicker with the hammer method you are using, but I was just curious. Thank you again, and you got a new subscriber!

[@WarPaintOffroad]

Hey! Thanks for the support. So they are bushings, not bearings. You could definitely use a shop press. But you have to be SUPER careful. The bushings, although they look like bearing races….they are VERY soft steel. It would be super easy to deform them using a bearing tool on a press instead of a bushing press kit and a hammer.

[@brysonwalker8338]

@@WarPaintOffroad thank you for the quick response and that makes sense!
