Thread: **HELP** 04 GTP SC shifts but wont drive

Then take some thin plastic sheet (I used an old cut up coke liter cut to square) then roll it up and lubricate with trans fluid. Wrap around the shaft where the seal goes and slip it right into the grove. Now wrap that same sheet around the seals and place a hose clamp around each seal and leave for half an hour. Then enjoy the fact you didn't have to spend on that tool!

Oh, and Bill pointed out an error I made earlier. I was confused and thinking the engine was also coming out of the car, then swapping the cam is easy. ButI don't see doing this with the engine in and trans out. I'd be better to wait till the trans is in and drop the side subframe method. Still not my favorite option, but it works

So if I skip installing the Cam, you'll recommend me to keep the engine in, drop subframe yo take original Trans out, rebuild the yard Trans and than install it while engine is in from under the car?

WSTEFAN... I see that the Kit has in its description "2001 thru 2002 4T65E Only!"

I have an 04 GTP, will this still work?

Sorry for all the random questions. Making everything here kind of out of order.

Yeah, my man! This was perfect... I see exactly what you were saying about tail down and etc.

I seen these vids to give me a visual which was so perfect to picture after reading what you and WSTEFAN were saying about seal ring sizing

4l60E Input Drum Seal Replacement - YouTube

Teflon Seal Ring resizing, Automatic Transmission - YouTube

Also, I caught that in the trans removal sticky.. I was like, "Maaan! That makes totally sense to grab a large container from Walmart or Target lol. Made a huge mess using what I thought would be large enough container and had to use 2 "Official Trans Fluid Catch Containers"... Haa

Great pics! I'm all about visual. I see one pic and than I can figure the rest out. So Perfect!! That Trans bracket can be bought or will it come separately bought in stores? That looks very handy. Very handy. Lucky you're even handier than the original trans bracket maker haha. I need your skills!

Ok, fellas..... Its been a while on this thread BUT I wanted to do all my research and studying as much as possible. Knowledge is power right!... Finally received my AFL Valve from Superior & Bushing Kit from TEP.... Its about to go down soon [emoji32][emoji29]... Since I don't have any access to a reamer tool I wont be installing the TCC Regulator Valve/AFL Valve from the Sonnax Sure Cure Kit.. But definitely installing the TCC Relief Valve and everything else.

So now I face either to install the Superior Boost/TCC Apply Valve Kit or Sonnax Boost/TCC Apply Valve Kit.. Which one or slash combination is better, any thoughts [emoji848]????
