yes . . . that was idea behind it. It was another thread just like yours. It was another 4L60e rebuild (basement rebuild was the title). There were a couple of builders that chimed in about it.
here's the thread that I was talking about

The gentleman in the picture coded that picture "daretorebuild". Left click on it in his thread and try to save it in your computer. That is what the picture name comes up as. Thought it was pretty funny! I guess I have a sick sense of humor. I have talked to him a couple of times through his build and seems like a good guy. He really did put a lot of work into the thread. But this just shows that this **** is not as easy as it looks. I personally would build, document, install, drive for more than once around the block, and then start working on the thread, so not to look like an idiot. There were quite a few members that blasted this poor guy during the thread. I give him credit for trying.
