    Really? At 111k and well maintained? I see a ton of used ones, doesn't seem like something to fail often.

    I've saw them Broken before 100k.
    just depends on driving style. If it gets WOT often then you should get one just in case. If you drive it like G'ma then your probably ok.

    As far as I know it wasn't beaten on, and I only went wot after the fluid change and pretty rarely overall.

    The previous owner had it 3 years and was driven by his daughter, going to and from college in northern Mi so I doubt there was any wot.

    I'll just inspect it when I get in there. If it's worn it will get put on hold and I'll drive the "back-up car" until it comes in. Really the family's extra car.

    It may be ok. But it'll be one of the rare ones if it is. Normally they strip the teeth off of one end. You'll have to pull it out of the convertor to check it.

    Good luck with it man, hope everything goes smooth. Let us know if you run into any trouble.

    I haven't seen as many pump shafts bas a Twizted, but it's fairly cheap while you are in there. The only soleniod I'd replace is the EPC. The rest don't typically fail, at least not enough to replace now. 4th shaft yes, channel plate gaskets yes.

    And.. me personally.. I'd follow the how to I wrote on it. But that's me.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I've been looking at that post you wrote for a little while now(months really), anticipating doing this very thing. My torque converter locks very slowly while all other gears shift normally. Then when it gets to full operating temp after a half hour or so of driving, I can tell all gears slow a bit and the torque converter locks really slow. In the morning when it's cold it locks just fine, pretty quick. That's why I wanted to replace it. Or could it be caused by low trans pressure alone? I do know they go bad often by 200k, they have trouble unlocking on acceleration. I ususlly see the 4th gear hub go by 150k, although the van(Montana) at my work is at 197k all original with a working 4th. It has the tcc solenoid problem though. So you really think I should leave out the TCC solenoid too? As long as it has nothing to do with it locking slowly I could leave it out. If it is possible to cause it I'll replace it.

    If I took the time to open everything up, I would put the known problem parts in while I was in there.

    By all means.. if you have the symptoms.. replace the parts. Keep in mind, I'm reading fast and dirty.

    Here's how I'm fixing a bang start

    Looks like fun. If slow TCC lockup can be caused by the solenoid, that's being replaced as well then. I heard the valve body has to be separated in order to removed the TCC solenoid clip? Is that true? If so I'd need more than channel plate gaskets.

    Parts have been ordered. I'm looking into getting those channel plate gaskets from TEP.

    Edit: channel plate gaskets ordered for $23.55

    Just found this: "Most solenoids can be removed by pulling the steel clip from the exposed valve body channel EXCEPT the one for the TCC/PWM solenoid, you must remove the oil pump first for that solenoid."

    Well I'll just post the site, it's pretty in depth http://www.gmtruckhq.com/drivetrain/...rade-3517.html

    The oil pump is about 10 bolts and no gasket. Leave the silver bolt in, it'll hold the cover on and you will be able to install/remove without extra work.

    FYI hub shafts




    See the silver screw?


    Here's pump off and looking right at the tcc soleniod and it's clip. You can probably sneak it out with the pump on, but it's easier out.

    Is the PCS the most likely reason a tranny would hard shift?

    Got petty far in about 3 and a half hours of work. I had a bit of trouble with a few little things, but nothing that slowed me down any more than 10 minutes or so. I also had to buy a 36mm socket because apparently I have aftermarket wheel hubs. I just got to work unbolting stuff like I had done it lots of times before. It was really easy so far, I don't know how anyone could call it hard, it just takes a bit of time. I had lots of advice before attempting, thanks to you guys. The only thing that had to be removed that I didn't know about was the shift linkage, it was being strained so I took off the clip that holds it to the fender. I also removed the rubber mounts on the left muffler to let the exhaust kind of slant with the engine so I don't wreck my flex pipe. Instead of dropping the trans pan to drain some fluid, I ran the engine with the return line off into a gallon container until it was full. A gallon out should be enough, if not I'll just let it drain in a catch pan with the side cover off. It may since it will be on an angle.









    The next step literally is to take the side cover bolts off, that will be for tomorrow.

    Well I've got the channel plate back in, next is the side cover. One question though, is it normal that when sliding the channel plate on the trans, the side by the output shaft doesn't seat completely flush like the left side, until you tighten the bolts? It had about a quarter inch gap after pushing it on the trans. It didn't take much effort to tighten the bolts and make it flush, but I wasn't sure if it's normal or not. I was thinking it's the thrust washer on the 4th hub. I pushed the hub in completely though, even used a rubber mallet and hit it all around to be sure.
