    Im new the 4T65E and gtp's all together so i need some opinions on my trans.
    Bought a 1997 GTP with no 4th gear and the P0756 shift solenoid B circuit performance code popping up. I assumed that the most likely cause was the 4th clutch shaft just ground itself to pieces and got stuck in the solenoid.
    I ordered a bunch of pieces from IntenseRacing to fix the problem and hopefully build a better dependable trans that can handle some power.
    this is what i ordered:

    TSP-651 INTENSEā„¢ Street/Strip Performance Shift Pak
    4CS-289 Heavy Duty Fourth Clutch Shaft 1
    PSK-65E 4T65E/-HD Pawl-Style Input and 3rd Sprag Kit
    CKO-100 Overdrive Clutch Kit
    CK2-100 Improved 2nd Clutch Kit
    GMH-PCS 1997 - 2002 Pressure Control Solenoid
    GMH-TCCS Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid
    GMH-SHS Shift Solenoid
    GMH-TFPS Transaxle Fluid Pressure Manifold Switch
    BVK-831 Improved Boost Valve and Sleeve Kit
    TNST-TBC Coast Band for the 4T65E Transaxle
    TNST-TBF Forward Band for the 4T65E Transaxle
    TNST-TBR Reverse Band for the 4T65E Transaxle
    And the upgraded 3rd gear clutch.

    does this seem like a good combo?
    and do i really need to worry about getting a torque converter?
    the car has 131k on it.

    thanks for all your help.

    That is a good list of parts you have rounded up. You will also need a gasket-seal kit to complete the rebuild. If the pan is clean and the fluid isnt bad then you are probably ok reusing your existing torque converter. If there is any metal or heavy contamination in the fluid then you should replace it because it collects in the converter and outside of putting it on a flush machine or cutting it open for a rebuild there is no way to clean it out.
