Just letting you guys know. Dont be a cheap a$$ like me and try to save 100 bucks. Buy the GM part. This is my latest trans failure.

Also found sh!tty *** plastic fwd clutch accumulator piston bad broken and burned up my fwd clutch. Figures that was the only piston I did not upgrade. I now went with pinless billet for the fwd clutch and 1-2 replaced the rear planetary with good stuff and upgraded to 4L70 sun gear. We'll see how this holds up. I have every part that a FLT lev 5 has. I'd still like to know how Trever keeps his together. That truck is truely a freak of nature!!!!

theres parts FLT builds and machines in -house... I kinda laugh when someone says they have a trans "identical" to one of FLTs level 5 builds.... Its almost like youre trying to justify not going and spending the money for the real thing...
Trever1t's trans has stayed together because its the real thing
as did mine for 2 years behind some serious power and abuse... good thing you learned your lesson on aftermarket parts, it starts to become an expensive one quickly

The aftermarket 5 pins casing looks like the stock 4 pins but are not as strong. I will try and post some pictiures of each later today. I think i have a couple pics of the cheap ones on my pc some where and will have to make some of the OEM when at shop today
