Message: [QUOTE="elrodalexander73, post: 1222722, member: 16217"] A 4R100 can be built at home but you need someone who has an eye to detail, Overtime racing in G.R was building hot C6s and T400s for monster trucks years ago, and Keith showed me alot when I used to bring stuck valve bodies and bits and peices I needed him to inspect.. I've built several E4OD's and 4Rs that haven't needed drums machined down, the E4ODs especially since their drums are cast steel and not stamped steel. The transgo Tugger kit is exceptional, they have been fixing engineering glitches in many other transmissions for years and I mean like 35 years. Use either Red Alto, or Raybestos clutches, and Kolene steels, inspect the front pump very closely, and follow all tugger directions very carefully, the billet shafts will mean jack crap if your tune is ****, hard shifting will break stuff easily, and the tugger kit with the holes drilled out will cause hard shifting. And when going through every drum make sure all your relief holes are spotless clean, I used either to assemble transmissions with, leaves no film on parts that you are about to assemble. Your TCC lockup on the E4OD is not pw modulated so you have to becareful how big you drill the orifice out or when 3rd gear locks it will snap your neck.. The 4R100s are pw modulated so fluid flow is regulated, and can be tuned in to your favor. Billet shafts are nice, too many good companies building converters, but I like Transtar by far as they do offer a tripple disc billet converter and will warranty it no questions asked. Hope this helps.. P.s I've got a few trucks with my transmissions running around in them, one is using 350/200s and an S468 and no breakage so far.. [/QUOTE]
