Re: '89 GMC C1500 build thread

Worked this last weekend removing the previous transmission and putting in the 4l80. The 4l80 is a beast, it got the better of me a couple of times sliding around on the transmission jack.

I plumbed the transmission cooler lines last night and spent the better part of two hours getting my shifter to work. I had to modify everything to get it inline better, since I had clearance issues between the piece that bolts to the transmission gear selector and my header coming off the driver side.

I plan on having the drive line in, controller wired up, and fluid in it by this weekend.

The air cleaner that I linked to a few posts ago on this thread.. well I bought it. I got it in and it is about an inch or so too big diameter wise to fit. It doesn't clear the wiper motor, go figure.
