good for you doing this yourself! Props man

 

Thanks man, the hard part for me is the "go fast/upgrades" ive done few rebuilds before that were basically stock... Last shift kit i used was a b&m in a th350 which was a new seprator plate with a hole drilled in it, and would chirp the rear tires under light acceleration and break traction WOT in my 80 z28!! I decided to do this one myself for two reasons; 1- transmission is the only piece of this truck i havent had my hands in, 2- if it f's up i cant blane anyone but myself!!! After spending probably $4000 on other transmissions that were supposed to be built, i'm not much inclined to "order" a trans again, no offense to those who have or build transmissions, but not dealing with it again!! Its been stated i currntly run a mad dog that was supposed to be a level 2 with their more radical shift firmness and its so damn inconsistent, i cant believe they ever even let it leave with their name on it, take pride in your name and workmanship for ****'s sake!!! (Sorry, if i offend anyone with that but see it to much being in the business)

 

If i seen the pics right your have chinese 5 pinion planet set..i would recommend you remove them and go oem there not too expensive from amazon

 

I got those from transtar told me they werent, been wondering.... Got part number or a link??? Or should i just use 4 pinions i have

 

heres how the oem 5 pinion planet set should look like..id use the 4 pinion before a aftermarket 5 pinion... http://www.ebay.com/itm/700R4-5-PIN-PINION-REAR-PLANET-PLANETARY-SET-GM-CHEVY-CHEVROLET-QUALITY-/281169038370?hash=item4176fb0c22&vxp=mtr

 

I dont have the extra $$ right now so i guess im goin back to the 4pinions, the gm 5 pinions need different ring gear too dont they??

 

No.

But as mentioned the aftermarket 5 pinions are junk.

 

Ive pretty mich decided to back to the 4 pinions, just dont have the extra $200-400 for the 5pinions right now....
