Subbed.

If u do end up offering rebuild kits with everything needed, I could buy one and follow this build thread. Certainly would be a valuable resource. Super exciting.

Oh this is going to be good and thank you for sharing.

Quick question: How similar are the 4L60'S and 4L80's in terms of a rebuilding?

I love to see how other Professional Builders design/ spec. out their Transmission!
Keep it coming Frank.
I love to learn other methods that differ from MY Father's designs/ specs.

Rebuilding techniques and skills are the same for most any auto trans, but the 4I80 and 4L60e are to completely different animals.

As a non pro that’s done 3-4 80s and a couple 400s they are pretty straight forward and don’t need tons of hard parts replaced. I’ve had very good luck. With the little I’ve been able to read on 60s since I’m about to do one, they seem to need quite a bit different approach and there’s more hard parts to replace. I’m also surprised how small they are once you pull the bell and tail housing.

I am going to try and put it in the initial post to keep it simple using edit but I have no idea how long a post can actually be here or what the limits may be but we shall see.
