Re: Trouble with crush sleeve eliminator

It's 'simple': if you've got too much pinion preload, then you don't have enough shims/distance in between.
Regarding sealant on the splines: it's a good habit. I put gasket sealant to the inside...

Re: 700R4 2-3 WOT shift flare - again - calling Dana (probuilt)

2-3 shift is about band release and 3-4 clutch apply. Going to a longer band apply pin, won't change much in the dynamics described. Flare is a result mis-synchronization in band release and clutch...

Re: 89 T/A, 700R4 won't shift till 2500 when cold

I would say your seals are (becoming) old and brittle. Therefore they don't seal/leak till you build more pressure at higher RPMs. Once oil warms up it softens the seal and they regain their sealing...

Re: Pinion Depth

Always start with the same shim (thickness) that came out of the axle. Without an old shim, 8/10 times the thickness is between 0.029 and 0.034, this should get you started.

Re: Grrr- 700R4 running great except no OD

Did you install the servo assembly as one, including the cover. Or did you install the cover with the assembly in place (case)? If the latter, then you might have damaged the seal on the OD piston.

Re: 700r4 / 4l60 wont go in overdrive

2-4 Band should be good since you have 2nd gear. Same applies to 3-4 clutches since you end up in 3rd gear.

I would start by taking out the 2-4 servo and checking the 4th gear piston and seals.

Re: 4l60e trashed rear planet

If you've done 700's, you'll be good doing a 60e.
