Hey guys, Like a fool I cut the old ring off the 96 4l603 thinking i could just put my plastic speedo gear on there and the computer didnt need it, so I have a new reluctor ring to install, 40 tooth, how do I get it on there? I had to cut the old one off...
thanks

it presses on. you might bend it trying to tap it on with a hammer. if the transmission is apart, it's easy. if not....

Tap tap tap.

A pipe that presses around the reluctor evenly is better than tapping around every side repeatedly. Plus, you won't damage the teeth.

I tried tapping it last night but with the trans assembled, I have no leverage. I'm going to have to go with a three jaw puller and try to get it out that way.

I'll keep that in mind. Just enough to get it warm so I can slide it.

Re: 4l60e / 700r4 how to install new reluctor ring

If you're removing it, put a cheap open end wrench (spanner for a grinder, etc.) under it and tap from the trans. side. That gets it off the T5 and T56 stuff. A pretty weak 2 or 3 jaw puller with straps to extend the jaws will should get it done at llast resort.
