thanks bbond got one more for you please how's my sonnax wide front pump bushing look what are these lines I engaged it on converter lugs feels ok but this is my first rebuild just trying to get someone else's opinion here it is if you think I need to redo it I will.thanks
It looks like small scratches from the input shaft. They look like they're just on the surface, if you can't catch a fingernail on them, it will be fine. It is not uncommon for the shaft to put marks on a bushing like that, most of the time it is more of a mark than it is a scratch. It looks fine to me.

Polish it up a little with some worn out scotch-brite and test fit it on your input shaft. Spins free = home free.
Want to ask a few last questions before wrapping up my 2003 4l60e rubuild I used SK tg kit and I used sonnax 2-3 hd shift valve should I not use .500 boost valve? I put in the sonnax purple pump slide spring replaces 2 OE springs wondering what that is gonna do maybe I should use the factory ones what do you guys think? I used the reverse input drum saver kit from alto too bought a new ac Delco drum and supposedly it's slightly thinner than original, I heard it's an updated design to help it stay cooler which is why i thought to use drum saver. Some guy at performabuilt claims it best to use scarf cut Teflon sealing rings on pump stator? I was gonna go with those heard from alot of members on here it's better to use solid ones so that's what I put on those and input drum. All new clutches and steels throughout the transmission. I didn't replace capsule it passed the mineral spirits/ atf test should I replace it anyways?Thanks all of you guys on this forum who have helped and I have learned alot appreciate it.

I didn't think the SK kit came with a .500 boost valve. If you have one, it won't hurt to install it but the shift will be firmer with that size valve.
You have the purple Sonnax pump slide spring use it. You won't be able to tell a difference in the way the trans operates unless engine speeds exceed 5800 rpm.
I have never used the reverse input drum saver kit, so I'm not much help with that.
Scarf cut Teflon sealing rings on pump stator are okay, if installed properly. I prefer the solid ones. Scarf cut rings are good for DIYs who don't have the tools to install the solid ones.
I only replace the capsule if it is leaking.
This is a big undertaking to be picking and choosing so many parts from different kit and having no idea what these parts do. For a trans going behind a stock engine it would be best to pick a kit and stick with the instruction that came with said kit. Especially it this is your first trans rebuild.
bbond, i think the drum saver kit is the same as using the early style wave plate vs the later belleville plate. the alto kit use to only be 1 piece, but i guess now it is 2.
Yeah the kit came with a .90 spacer plate and the wave spring plate it's to tight I believe tell me if I'm wrong it was .25 clearance wet with the spacer and wave so I bought a different pressure plate I got the .230. So what exactly is the sonnax purple slide spring in the pump gonna do for me combined with my other parts I drilled spacer plate to all transgo SK kit instructed sizes and drilled the fwd feed hole too to .93 I think you said that was ok though.
Thanks bbond your a good dude I just tried using my smaller selective pressure plate for reverse input drum it's at about .60 is that ok if my clutches were soaked pretty good or is that too much? What clearance should I go for while clutches have been soaked? Edited

.60 is over 1/2 an inch. Surely you meant to say .060?
Yes, .060 is good.
Reverse Input Drum .040" To .070"

Yes your correct that's what I meant to say lol. So do you think I should notch out my servo cover since I have the sonnax 2-3 shift valve? Is this going to mess with anything in a bad way with shift timings? I put in servo cushion springs left out brass washer used coil spacer. I used the 3-4 boost assembly springs too and used the all springs the SK kit provided in the valvebody. Besides the fwd abuse part I used the sonnax ones there and reverse abuse I assume they do the same things only difference is sonnax used a actual valve and tg uses a ball in the spring for more weight instead of heavier valve. I'm starting to understand how the 3-4 shifts and servo work but I'm still not sure on this I saw a few threads discussing a similar question but they didn't have the shift valve.
I don't think it really makes much of a difference if you notch the cover or not. Follow the SK instructions, everything is calibrated to those instructions.

The Sonnax 2-3 shift valve is for applying the overruns in M3, It has nothing to do with the shift timing or feel. Is this going to mess with anything in a bad way with shift timings?

Besides the fwd abuse part I used the sonnax ones there and reverse abuse I assume they do the same things only difference is sonnax used a actual valve and tg uses a ball in the spring for more weight instead of heavier valve. TransGo uses the ball to limit the abuse valve movement. The abuse valve has very little to do with the circuit unless the RPM's are over stock settings. I'm starting to understand how the 3-4 shifts and servo work but I'm still not sure on this I saw a few threads discussing a similar question but they didn't have the shift valve.
So you think I should hammer the forward feed hole closed a bit or will it be ok at .93 has anyone ever had any harsh engagement issues with this size? All the rest are just like the transgo SK kit instructed.
your double stack bushing setup is normally perfectly fine but the way you have it done is a fail.
You also need to pay attention to make sure you don't cover up lube holes

The wide bushing is always great
What did I do wrong I drove them down as far as they would go? What should I do different just want to know for future please and not trying to sound rude. I check to make sure lube holes weren't covered on reaction shaft. And it does almost get in the way of sun gear lube hole but I figured that's as good as it gets because it wouldn't go down anymore. Thanks for reply I'll go with wide bushing.
