Default Is it hard to change a manual valvebody BACK to an electric valvebody
What is required to change a manual valvebody 4L80 back to an electric valvebody 4L80? I am new to autos so dont beat me for not knowing.

If you have the transgo kit HD-3 kit, if I remember correct you will probably need a different valve body. This is because they have you drill extra stuff over the HD-2 kit. Sorry for the bad news.

Best option is to find a valve body and change it out and do a non manual shift kit with it , would probably be the simple way if your doing it your self

Yanks 4l80-e valve body package can change from auto to manual mode with out destroying the main housing
If you have the Yank unit.

Basically what I'm getting at is would JUST changing the valvebody back to a stock one make the tranny back into an electronic shifting transmission.
