Who's rebuilt there own tranny?

[tyfoo]

for the first time
and not knowing anything about them

I would not advise trying to go through a 700 as your first try. I am a master tech of 25+ years and this is not for beginners. Especially when you need to make several changes.

I did, I just put a cheap rebuild kit in and it failed after 3k miles. The second one I did was in my friend's truck, a Hartman kit and it's been going strong with low 12 second passes on it. I recommend you read up on the correct mods to do.

Orifice cup, grinding flats on the valve, seal the input drum hole, block one of the accumulators, etc..

Go get a core 700 and practice. Thats all you can do. You have be precise with clearances, and very clean, other than that its not bad. You do have to do research though. Pm me

Yup, my neighbor hit a deer last summer and gave me the trans out of his astro van to "cut my rebuild teeth on" . There is a detailed write up on how to rebuild a syty trans here: http://syty.huryde.com/html/trans.htm Take a look and decide if you want to tackle it yourself or pay someone else big $ to do it for ya.

All the bighsot tranny guys in town told me to stay the hell away from but I couldnt afford $2200 to have anyone build it. Since Ive built about 7-8 motors and do have a little (very little) knowledge about ttrannys, I decided to do mine on my own. By the time I was dont I think I spent about $800 all together. If you need help or a little advice I can tell you exactly what I went through. The big thing is to have someone coach you through it. PM me if you want, I will do whatever I can for ya.

I did mine following the instructions of Gerge Blake. It was more than a year ago and it was working nice till early december when I decided to pull my engine. Around ~80 1/8 mile pull on it in the low 7's zone...

So it's doable...

Later,

Is there detailed instructions on this
and do the rebuild kits come with everything?

 

[TT350]

This will be best $35.00 you ever spent on your truck!!
You can find this video on Ebay if not do a Google search it’s easy
to find! They have them for all popular transmissions.

Does it explain what tools need to be bought and explain a little bit about the modifications that we do to the sy/ty transmission at all?

Or where to get rebuild kits and parts ordered from?
