4l80e Rebuild - Parts gathering
The 80e in my truck is hurt. Already have a thread going on it. Anyway, instead of pulling the hurt one and going through it, I'm going to pull my spare low mile 03 out of the corner and go through it with some upgraded parts. I want to use this thread for discussions on what parts to get before I tear into it. Then make decisions on what I need once I get it torn apart.
Know I'm going to need a master kit with all gaskets and things. I also know I want to upgrade the frictions and sprag along with installing the Transgo HD-2 kit completely. What other parts are a no brainer to order ahead of time considering a low mile trans?
Right now I am considering Raybesto's Red Line Stag 1 and Kolene steels and their kevlar bands, or Alto Red Eagle and Kolene steels. Getting confused here with all the thicknesses and such. My first build I want something that "should" drop in. I also want a waved plate to work with transgo. Recommends and the right kit part numbers would come in handy

yea it's too bad that nobody makes a real complete performance kit for the 80e

I'll get it figured out.
Wild, doesn't look like BulkPart offers the steels and frictions I'm wanting in a master kit. Have to piece mill it and thats where I'm stuck. I don't know what sizes.
Its really going to suck if I mess up this brand damn new transmission. I'm deep into it. Valve body and stuff off. Pump out. This thing is immaculate. Clean and zero sign of wear.

The kit i got from Hughes is pretty nice. It only lacks the HD sprag and 4th gear steels. Im getting the sprag from Hughes as well, and the steels from GM.
I hope it works for me
But again i have an advantage i dont have an 11 second truck. Mine runs 15's at 95mph
