I've got a spare tranny from a 95' in my garage and I plan on rebuilding it to put it in my 93'. I've never been through an automatic trans before, but since it is a spare, I have time on my side to methodically go through it with attention to every detail. Of course, I will be ordering an overhaul manual beofore I start, but can anyone give me any pointers to help me build a flawless transmission? Any specialized tools I'll be needing? (I've seen all of the specialty tools out there, but my guess is that I can get by without every one of them) Will there be any issues with the wiring harness? (I've heard that there is a difference on the MLPS connection?) Any other input?
Just some info on the truck... It is a nearly stock 93', (bumped timing, K&N, Cat-back, E-Fans, & MSD) with 205K on the clock. I want a crisper shift, but good driveability, so I don't want to get too crazy with the torque converter.
Future plans for the truck are to rebuild the engine with a 393 stroker kit & AFR heads in a couple of years. Shortly after that I plan on adding a turbo with around 10 lbs of boost. To help the tranny hold up to the abuse it will be recieving in a few years, I plan on using PTS red or super blue clutches (open to opinions) and kolene steels. For the rest of the upgrades I'm open to input from you.
Thanks!
Steve
