On this step. the video shows them just taking the new parts, slapping them together and installing. Mentions no grinding of this shaft. wtf??

 

Maybe the paper is a revised edition and the video is a general overview.

 

Both the old and new install sheet say to grind the land off. just curious if thats what everyone did.

FWIW, I ground it off flush like it says. (I didn't have the video.)

 

Me too.

Ya'll know if I can do the servo AFTER I bolt the valve body back in? I have the tranny on the bench.

I'm a littel concerned how i'm gonna flip the valve body onto the tranny (on the bench) without losing the check *****.

-- Joe

 

you can use vasoline to hold the check ***** in place, be careful about setting the band tension. The video basically said :"not too tight, but not to loose" i ended up going to loose and burning the band up. Call transgo for specs maybe and use a feeler gauge to figure out the band slop

 

I havn't gotten that far yet. oh well. guess i'll tackle that tonight.

-- Joe

 

grind the land off .ive installed a bunch of these kits

 

thats what I did. Tranny's back in the car now. Now i'm dealing with a weird wiring problem.. ugg.

-- Joe

 

Also a vote for grind it off :-)


A note for others installing TransGO stuff, always go by the instructions as they are revised as the kits change.

The video has been the same for however many years it has been out(still a good overview for peeps unfamiliar with trans')

later

Where can I get my hands on one of these videos?

 

From Transgo

 

I figured that. I was just hoping that one may be online somewhere.
