This is a blunted screwdriver I made , It is bent at the end to remove the bushng, It grabs it but does not damage bushing bore

Number 34 works to perfectly install bushing with the press (I use press for all bushings except case.)

I actually use the planet itself to install this one I like it to ride high in bore new surface area on planet and placing it on the planet then pressing planet into the ringgear worke prefect every time

I always use NEW STEELS . I am not overly particular about the brand same with the fwd clutch frictions (I do prefer the carbon style OVERRUN because of my overun mod and the cycling of the overun clutch resulting)

27mm is perfect for removing these bushings in front sun gear.

Air checking drum before disassembly for leaks . this should be done before dissembly and after reassembly.

These plated along with apply are always warped in the friction area even NEW ONES I have found are not generally straight.

Shows apply plate after maching flat and the discoloration is a primitive but functional heat treating I do when donw cutting, This is done by heating plate red hot then a fast splash through cool water (real fast) this hardens the outter layer of the surface to help with rigidity but leave the flexability inside. I know the process works because i have played with recuting on the lathe and after this process is done the outter .005 or so cuts hard while the inner remain soft to cut.

29 ELEMENT sprag, i use the borg dual cage but others will be suitable too, Now if the unit came with the later GM sprag with the 15 percent wider roller pieces I will try to replace with one of those if available, Bear in mind while you can put the borg sprag in place of one of those and be fine , You should not, cannot put one of the late wider Gm sprag in place of the older unless new ring gear and center used.

BURNED 3-4 set This along with burned 2-4 band tells me we probably have a presure rise issue.

Cool universal tool for removing and instaling , If you are an individual building your own this is really the only tool you need to do the job on the 60e

Reassembled drum after cleaning with new pistons, REMEMBER to replace the oring in the drum now.(The reason I say not to replace till after clean ? Well truth if most of the time the oring is fine and lets sayyou do forget ? Unless you see it on bench disaster once in car, But this way 99 percent chance no big deal or issue at all)

I also notch here supposedly helps with planet lube but certainly does not hurt.

Overun cluth set. Note i DO coat frictions. IMO if you are building one to go into a car right away or on a dyno not nessesary, But in my case generally it is neither, Frictions should however not be soaked or coated till after setting your desired gaps as the oil would become part of your setting and you do not want that as oil or air its a gap.

FWD clutch clearance is also not critical , But no more that the thickess of a steel and not so little that if you turn drum horizontal you cannot easily turn sun gear by hand both ways .

4 small hole drilled to vent oil from sprag to Overun hub surface (Honestly GM should have put a thrust washer here)

Never leave wave out of forward , If you do you are asking for a very agressive D APPLY and to break lugs in drum at forward

I always install tthe load release spings.In this case a stock type set but I use a hillman set when cluch set position changed dramaically like in the stage 2 and 3 performance units.

7 friction set up here with .090 steels. This is my towing HD SET UP where cooling is of greater need than massive HP hold . My Performance build get 8 in the stage 2 and 9 in the stage 3 shift time apropriate to setup.THINNER steels require and much quicker apply to avoid heat warpage. Everything is a trade off to purpose.

note the bathtube ball area . block both of those holes. then see where overun ball goes, Connest that to the fwd by cutting gasket as shown. omitt bathtub balls , You can omit the overun ball too makes no difference

With stock or the sonnax or any 4th servo when stacked you should have between none and about 1/16th inch of gap between the cover and center peice but the actual servo being in contact or within 1/16th of the pin .

With the stck stock 4th servo ussually just flipping the servo will do this, However if needed you can add a washer of whatever thickness needed to get this and type will do they are 3/8 in size and various thickness can be had at the hardware store. Same is true of all other servos
