Parts came in today. Headed out to the shop and installed them after dinner. Good news! I now have all 4 gears, and the transbrake works great! However, I'm still not getting TCC lockup. Solenoid is clicking when commanded through hptuners, but sounds very weak/faint. Could be a wiring issue or a bad TCC solenoid. I'll work on that later. Right now I'm just happy it's actually working!

Great job!
Thanks for sharing.

Busy night! Dropped the transmission to change a leaking front pump seal that I never replaced originally. Then I installed a new tcc solenoid and the updated wiring harness. Don't know which one was the culprit, but now I have lock up! I only have her tuned to 12.5:1 wot, but she pulls like a beast! All just in time for me to sell her 
. Between the triplets, and my recent decision to run for a local office here in town (tax collector), I'm gonna need the money and get rid of the burden.

What a great thread! Read it from page one. Sorry to hear you are selling the car, but a big congrats on the tripplets! I've been struggling with the idea of swapping out a 4L80E or just spending the money on getting my 4L60E built.

Nice info man. I'll be following along shortly, just nabbed a 2001 4L80e last night.
I was wondering if you ever got a chance to weigh it as it sat when sold? (LQ4, 4l80e, 9")

I too am glad you posted this, I will possibly do this in the future here, but I will be getting a rebuild kit and doing some upgrades as well since I am shooting for around 700 to the tire with a 200 shot lol. We will see if my wallet can handle that since I am trying to finish the floors on my house too lol.
