Pan and VB out, had to disconnect passenger side cat which let me use a pry bar to yank pan out. VB has been fucked with before 3 bolts were stripped out T30 hex heads. I'm replacing those with regular 6-mm hex heads. Also have the conductor plate off the VB. Its just a big piece of plastic with 2 speed sensors built in, and all you electrical connectors for solenoids.

Cant wait to hear good things, nothing but goos things

Well valve body with new conductor plate and blue tops are back in truck and torqued down to specs. Waiting on a buddy to come by with a big ass pry bar so we can try and get pan on. If all goes well should be out for a cruise tonight

be safe, fri before the holiday, they're out to get ya.

No drinking when working on my trans bro. Well all back together and went for a 20 min ride. I think problem is fixed, only put 4qts of trans fluid in so didn't beat on it. Will stop by Ekaz tomorrow evening to check fluid level and top off. Then time to beat on it and feel those blue tops

woooot! what type of trans fluid? oem?

Nice man. I have no clue how you took this on with the heat- desire to get back out there no doubt- and to try out those new solenoids! Enjoy!

congrats on the getting everything worked out and back together

Determination bro!! Hate being down, and love learning new shit! Job wasn't bad at all, I could probably do it in 2-3 hrs next time.

Well got fluid checked and topped off last night. Blue tops will take some time getting used too. Whole new feeling with those, down shifts had me a little nervous at first yesterday but getting used to them. Proceeded to totally destroy an Audi on 90 last night. Went at it 3 times from a roll, even game him 3-4 cars the 2nd time we went at it. The wifey was freaking out and Brandon was loving every second of it, lol.

Haha awesome! Great to hear!

i told you the downshifts are hard! lol. you will get used to it but that 2/1 head bobbing shift will always be there. the computer gets used to them a bit or you just get used to them, not sure which happens. lol. since i use autostick everywhere i can make the 2/1 downshift less harsh. i notice it more on the rare occasions i let the computer do the 2/1 shift.
