Thanks for that idea, I just ordered one so I’ll be ready at the 2000 mile break in. No more damn silicone.

At least now you (we) know not to use silicone.

Blackbear got back to me and guaranteed the line pressure is 100% stock and adaptive learning is disabled so the PCM can’t alter it. Also talked to FTI and they’re trying to push the cut, clean and reweld through on Monday or Tuesday and they assured the height will be set at the exact same so when I reinstall it the flexplate to converter clearace will be the same as before. This is important to me since some of you might remember that I found it impossible to add shims after the trans is in place due to the design of the pads on the converter. I had to pull the trans back and glue the shims onto the flexplate last time so I don’t want to do that again.

Are you due for a filter and fluid Sam?

No, I just did that about 10-15k miles ago, but when I replace the tranny, I’ll have the goods ready to go.

Pretty damn good shape for 160k miles. I’m replacing 3, the 4th was done last year when I broke it.

I got the trans, converter and u-joints today. I started installing the bellhousing and rear extension and my cheap ass 1/2” torque wrench took a dump and my 3/8” one only went to 20 ft/lbs so I decided to buy new Icons. I saw a comparison test with the Icon and Snap-On and the Icon actually beat the Snap-On. So I bought their 3/8” and their 1/2”. They’re about $100 each. I like them so far.
