4L60E Rebuild Kit I'm about to do my first transmission rebuild. I have a buddy with some experience at it. I was asking for names of quality transmission rebuild kits. Please give me some names to look for.
Thanks

Do a search...this is one of the most basic questions asked in this forum. But here...Read this. All of it.
It goes over more than just parts and can help a beginner do a much better job than they could with just an expensive box of parts and an ATSG manual.
If you are really looking for a one stop shop...find PBA on this forum and google "pro built automatics" He does full rebuild kits with pretty good instructions to help get you a well built trans.

Ok my friend always rebuilds my 3 speed autos and he wants to start learning on over drive ones and so do I.
Id rather rely on my self for rebuild so I know it’s done properly in my mind.
Does that thread above say what extra tools are needed to rebuild one properly? I read through part of it, 31 pages takes a bit to understand when your carefully reading it all
I haeca 700 in my Monte 6.0 swap, I have a spare one also. I want to swap a 60e into it but finding a good core is like they think they are 6.2 aluminum long blocks, high dollar.

most of the specialty tools are types of compressor for disassembling and assembling a couple of parts but these can be made with some scrap metal, all tread, nuts and a welder.

spring compressors are a must...as mentioned above...with some creativity and all-thread you can build what you need.
The first one is the low/reverse spring cage in the bottom of the case is the stiffest/toughest.
The tool you make for the bottom of the case will likely work for the reverse input drum also.
For the input drum, the easiest thing to use, that has worked for me for years is a pair of 5" long 2x2's. Clamp them using a large bar clamp. (mine are out of aluminum now but sanded wood will work just fine.
Aside from that, your normal list of 3 speed tools will get the job done...snap ring pliers, screwdrivers, pick, etc
