"On the trans. Pick up a set of channel plate gaskets. Then go in and replace the 4th hub clutch shaft. Frequently you can pick them up off Ebay for $45ish. Pull the side pan, oil pump, then take the valve body and channel plate together. That way you don't deal with the checkballs or two more gaskets. Zip up the 4th clutches and slide in the new shaft. Reassemble and enjoy knowing you won't lose 4th due to sheared splines."

Thanks you Billboost37
Great info.

I've rebuilt the valve body on the 4L65E's but going any further than that may not be within my realm of expertise. Especially since I'm unfamilliar with the 4T65E. I guess I'll know better when I get in there.

Any experience with removing the balance shaft on the 3800?

Thanks
