I'm trying to get at my vats module to diagnose a problem, and that picture is pretty helpful, but how do you get things disassembled to that point? If there's one thing I'm bad at, it's removing...

Was the drive gear changed when you did the rear? Was it mounted with the clip in the right hole? The drive gear should be pretty much centered front/back when you take the sensor out and look in...

If you're using the original heads and intake, it's still pretty much an l98. Do you know anything about the cam in your replacement block? If it's horribly mismatched with everything else, you'd...

No, just the 3800. But to an 18 year old that's plenty fast, and insurance was over 200 a month for just the v6, I cant imagine what it wouldve been for a formula or ta.

I used a 12 point 1 1/4 inch socket made by Gear Wrench. It's the perfect size to push the bushing out yet barely small enough to fit through the hole. Just put an extension in it backwards and hit...

I pulled this out of a 92 v6 stick shift truck that somebody had put a tbi v8 and the 700r4 into, so theres a good chance somebody made some changes to the inside of the trans too. I did think that...

I was reading that you can use any 700r4, just swap tailhousing, speedo gears, and cut the output shaft about half an inch. I picked up a spare to use for however long it takes to properly rebuild...

Mine started doing that 80 miles after I changed the fluid. If there was some magic-in-a-bottle solution that worked, I'd be open to it. But I already bought a transmission jack this week.
