My SS3600 install thread
I was curious so I read the card that came with my converter. From Yank it says "We do not recomend any kind of synthetic fluid" It says to use name brand Dex 3 or type F. If thats what they recomend then thats whats going in. Iv never used synthetic trans fluid anyway.
Kinda random pics. Ever wonder what black painted Pacesetter headers look like after exactly one year in new england? Here they are lol
Theres the oil sending unit that you need to be careful around when doing intake swap.

You're right that getting the tranny off those dowel pins is one of the toughest parts of the job. Even on lift with a tranny jack, we really had to struggle with it. I really have to hand it to you guys who do it on your back with the car on jack stands. It's hard to imagine how you get enough leverage to budge it. It's a bear.

Sounds great man, I've heard many great things about that stall as well and you have about the same plans for your car as I do mine besides I'm putting a cam in mine, can't wait to see how you like it when its all said and done

Yea it is a bear. Iv had a disk problem in my back and it went away for a long time. But its back lol. I look like im 95 limping and crawling around trying to muscle this tranny around lol
Ehh, I say just do it.
I ended up getting the good stuff. The tech at GM said there is no more dex3 its all dex 6 now.
Bye bye old flexplate
Im glad im taking it out because theres actually at least 3 cracks in the teeth above each screw. IDK if you can see them.
That looks better!
Stock TC came out pretty easy
It has some weight to it thats for sure
3 clicks! Very very easy and all 3 clicks happened in about 10 seconds on just turning it clock wise pushing in at the same time.
And inbetween 1 1/16 and 1 1/8 perfect.

Teflon tape on the cooler line fittings.
This dipstick tube really fucked me today
I really fought with this thing. I had to keep shimming it higher. If the car wasnt so high and jack wasnt in the way I could have benchpressed it by the pan no problem.

good pics man i went through the same install w my car a few months ago. and i love it i went w a fti converter tho. good lck and be prepared for more torque and less traction lol
Be sure to check the measurement between the stall and flexplate too! I measured my bell - pads and i got 1 1/16, but when i got her all bolted up, it was over 3/16" gap so i had to shim it.
Nothings off topic here come on in and have a beer lol
