4l80e rebuild advice
Ok I'm looking to start rebuilding a 4l80e I picked up a little while ago. I haven't rebuilt one yet so I'm looking for any advice you guys have for me.
1. What parts do i need for a full rebuild
2. Any tips to consider while rebuilding?
3. Where to get parts?
Thanks for the help guys!

I'll tell you this, I bought the ATSG manual, tore the trans down, removed all the guts from the inside, and as soon as I started the very first step of reassembly I realized I was in over my head. Boxed all the guts up and took it to a trans shop. and I'm very glad I did. They applauded me for wanting to try, lol.
It's very daunting in my opinion, so many internal pieces, so many clearances. I wish you luck if you attempt it, it wasn't for me.

Definitely get the ATSG manual, however even it is missing steps and does not account for some differences in parts between years, which can leave you confused. Also download the following manual and start reading. Understanding how the trans works is the first step, and it will make it far easier to rebuild if you know what the purpose of each part is.
