Hey everyone, first post on the army! Quick question, is anyone here running the transgo-HD2 shift kit? thoughts on this please, how do you like it???

How did u get the pump out ??!?

 

[MorganY]

had the trans out, I did the rebuild myself..lasted for a bit until the converter burnt up because I left a retaining ring out of the pump

retaining rings

When you say retaining ring you mean the m shaped one that holds the springs in correct? Did it fall out or you just forgot to put it in?

 

[MorganY]

I believe it was actually the smaller spring clip that held the valves in place. not sure though. I took it to PSM after that and they fixed me up. I was 17yrs old when I did it last year, and had to make due with the little $, time and space I had...ended up paying the rebuild later on anyway..LOL one of these days ill go back into a core and try again for practice.

heres some photos.

I put a shift kit in mine and was going to put in a rcd converter but once i got it apart my stock o/d clutches were shot so I decided its time for a rebuild. A local shop is doing it for me. I thought about it but I have little experience with autos so they are installing an elite rebuild kit. I would like to get one to practice on and in the future i plan on rebuilding one. i want to learn lol

I am not afraid of anything..first time to work on a 6.4 and I pulled the motor cab on with a box of hand tools and a harbor freight engine hoist! It's easy with some practice!!

trans

Im not really either just want this done right and if they dont put it together right they can fix it lol. I really thought about it but for what they are going to charge i will let them do it. i am going to see if i can watch when he does it to see if i could have handled it.

to be honest I am glad I tried it first, or else I would have never known..I bet next go round Ill have it spot on...my credit card wished I paid for the rebuild the first go round LOL
