A stacked shift is when you go WOT nad instead of holding the the gears out to the desired shift point the trans quickly shifts 1-2-3-4

Default PerformaBuilt 4L80E BUILD PART 2

4l80e Build Part 2


Intermediate clutch installed



Direct clutch drum and Intermediate overun band installed. I have found its easier to install the drum without the clutch set first. Then install the set as shown below




Make the drum easier to hold on to when indexing the Intermediate clutch set to it.



Forward clutch assemby



Forward clutch assembled




Forward clutch installed in case and indexed into the direct clutch, The billet shafts are a tight fit and makes the indexing a little agravating.

Overun/overdrive drum with frictions installed

Installing the Stage 1 overdrive frictions and new steels

Yeah, I didn't realize you could have trans issues from not running a MAF. Although I didn't unplug the MAF it was set to fail so I could run SD for tuning my VE tables. Wonder if that messed up my trans? Oh well, it's getting fixed

I didnt mean not running MAF would cause and issue well if you have the PCM set up for speed density for instance it wouldnt. But if you are running a MAF and its bad or contaminated yes it can lead to a trans failure,
