joey b Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 How much knowledge is seriously required to rebuild a tranny? How much $$ in special tools? Quote
manitcor Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 rebuilding isisnt hard, but alot of the cost in building a tranny isint the labor, its the parts. Tranny parts are quite expensive, though once together an experienced mechanic can rebuild a t60 in less than a day. Go get yourself an ATSG book if your really interested. Quote
midnight rider Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 if you aren't the paitient type, don't mess with it. There are tons of small parts in them and if you get just one of them in the wrong place, you get to pull it and start all over. Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 If ya get a book to tell ya all about rebuilding the auto transmissions - then it should tell you what all special tools you'll need. --Dave. Quote
Tru2Chevy Posted October 22, 2004 Report Posted October 22, 2004 I don't know about the fwd tranny's but normal rwd GM trannys (TH350, 700R4) performance rebuild kits are usually about $300. Haven't rebuilt one myself, but I'm gonna attempt it this winter. - Justin Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted October 22, 2004 Report Posted October 22, 2004 make sure you have an area to work that's CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN you get sand, dirt, or grease in the wrong place, and it won't shift properly (or at all), or it won't unlock from certain aplications - little things like that. --Dave.
