4L80 Swap Tips and Tricks Welcomed
How many quarts of fluid do i need?
What tips do you have for dropping the old or stabing the new tranny?
Any Special tools needed to reach anything?
I've got my:
Tranny w/ TC and 3r Neapco yoke
modded x member
my tune
VSS wired
plans for the wire swap on the harness
Rear cooler line extension
New TC bolts
New flywheel, spacer and bolts
New Dipstick and tube
New dust shield
I think I just need to pick up some fluid and a new u-joint... anything I'm forgeting? I'll be doing this on a lift and have a tranny jack that I'll be borrowing.

is the trans new? it holds alot of its dry.
new filter?
its a really simple swap.
you might need about 4' of extensions for the top couple bolts.. or get a ratchet wrench from behind the Intake.

07 model Junkyard pulled tranny with an HD2, but it's pretty damn dry. Got the filter and plenty of extentions..... Using a stock 4L80 converter so the new flywheel was a must. Keep em coming. Really don't see why this should take more than half a day.

Your preachin to the choir brotha
I'm hoping that the slope on the rear of the 80 pan will give me enough clearance, It's gonna be tight. But hell, I've run open headers before, I aint skeerd to do it again, lol
