shift kit question..with pics

Also, replacing the torque converter is highly recommended. You put new clutches and parts in and leave all the crap slushing around in the TC to get into your pretty new parts.

that would require pulling the engine though and thats what im trying to avoid. i dont like being rushed when doing something like that, and since its my dd and i dont have another car to drive at the moment it cant be down. i could prolly do it in a weekend though, idk ill have to see whats going on

Yeah it sucks but its just one of those things. You spend that much time putting in nice new parts and keep the same crappy fluid floating around inside the trans...not going to work out that well.

But a reman. TC and a pizza for your buddies and pull the whole damn thing. Rebuild the trans on a bench and your probably going to be spending the same time as ****ing around with supporting the engine, removing the control arm, strut, possibly messing up your alignment since the cradle shares a bolt with the control arm, removing the tranny mount, then rebuilding the whole transmission on your ass/side.

Pull the engine, then the trans, and rebuild it the right way :wink:

I'm going to be rebuilding the one in my car when I do my 3500 swap.
