Torque Converter/Shift Kit Headache

This aint an easy job by yourself --- wayyyyyyyy more difficult than the cam install (physically speaking)

You need to find yourself a friend who will lend you a hand.

i tried. i also pick the days to do the major mods when the friends are working. I only have like 3 friends that have any interest in this stuff at all. All the other friends are clueless, and usually come to me to do their work. I know its just a set of hands that i need, but you have to enjoy this stuff to stand in a garage under a greasy truck for hours a day taking baths in ATF

Lol, that ATF+4 bath stinks

Lol, that ATF+4 bath stinks

yes it does!!! Having a drain plug is just the bees knees.

Thats why you get one of the tanks that has an adjustible pan... no ATF bath that way.

 

[Off_Road_Teacher]

Drain plug is a good idea. Wish I put one in last time I did a fluid change.

 

[OlDirtyJohn]

a simple plug like this will suffice



but this, is waaaay better

 

[Off_Road_Teacher]

Option 2 looks way better.

its a PML. painted it with high temp engine enamel. i like the way it turned out. PML makes some AMAZING stuff. cant wait till i can get one of their diff covers. going to paint it to match the tranny pan.

The aluminum pans look great and with the added capacity keep things cool. The only down side is if one takes a hit it is broken, not just bent.
