Well my tranny has never worked right since it has been in (all of 2 days that it was on the road) and after droping the pan I see chunks of metal and the fluid is tinted. The tranny has all 4 front gears but it does not have manual 1st or reverse. I am so broke from the LQ9 and 4l80e swap that I can not afford a pro rebuild. How hard would it be to rebuiold it myself? What rebuild kit should I use and what book would help me?

I could get it rebuilt for you for 800-900 by my dads friend he is in Houston and knows his stuff. Me personally I wouldnt try to rebuild it but then again that many little parts scare me

Yeah. It will be a stock 80e he may work with you on the trans go thing he did with me when he built my 65e. If ur interested pm me and Ill give you his number.

to rebuild a 4L80E you will need to few special tools, but they could be made from old TH400 parts. If you can get it rebuilt for $800 go for it, but don't expect any performance parts in it. Sounds like your rear band broke on you, I have only come across it once but it does happen.
