Re: Project Orange Crush (57 3100)
Tore into the 4L80e tonight anyone that has ever been inside on of them will know how brutally simple they are.
My unit was a good running one out of a 2000 Express 2500 van so plenty of heavy loads in its life only 110k on it though everything looked good, after further researching the HD2 Transgo kit I decided it wasn't for me and so I will piece out some stuff for my application
What I will do to it is:
- Dual feed mod
- New seals as required
- New snap rings
- Filter (Duh)
- New thrust washer
- New Bands (both looked like they got hot a time or two)
- Sonnax boost valve
- Half a set of piston return springs
All to produce some faster shifts I see no reason to touch anything else such as higher quality clutches and steels or the addition of one set to make it "stronger" because with the total weight and power number of my truck I feel like it will hold fine behind my engine we shall wait and see if this school of thought will pay off.
Anyone with other thoughts/experience? I know these things aren't heavily used at least not in these trucks so maybe I'm talking to myself right now?
