Thread: High(er) performance 4t65e - Sold. What to put on the crate....?

Fits '97 to '02. No core charge. Price does not include shipping. Ships from Tucson, AZ 85747.

Decided it was time to make use of my last core and rebuild kit I had sitting around. I built this one as a better than stock, but no hard parts unit. Good for a stock to mildly modified blower car. The techniques I use will make for a longer lasting, quicker shifting, and cooler running unit. Willing to entertain offers. Not hurting for the money, but I'd like to see a return on my investment sooner rather than later. I think if someone offered me one or two hundred over what I have into it, they could have it.

Rebuild parts include:
New frictions
New steels
New seals (stretched/shrunk teflons, NOT scarf cut)
New drive sprocket bearing
New solenoids (4x)
New manifold pressure switch
New washers
New Filter
New Forward Apply Band
New molded 2nd apply piston
New molded 3rd apply piston
New lube dam
All new bushings (not just the common ones)
Trans-go shift kit
Superior valve body kit
Superior AFL valve kit
Lube tube retainer
Hardened 4th clutch shaft
Inspected bearings (replace any bad ones)
Reconditioned input clutch piston (TEP)
Reconditioned reaction carrier w/ steel washers (TEP)
Bonded separator plate
Torlon check balls
Input clutch upgrade (10pc.)

Rebuild procedure includes:
Checked and adjusted final drive end play
Checked and adjusted transaxle end play
Complete disassembly and cleaning of valve body
Modified separator plate for better shift
Modified clutch stack for better shift
Inspected and tested internal wiring harness

Torque converter:
I can include a used one. I have no history on it so, IMO it would only be good to cover the core charge of a new one. Or I can grab a PNH for an extra $225.

Cooler fittings:
Are the flare type, but I can be swapped to push lock.

If only you could ship this for free... Lol

If you have a Fastenal near you, they will ship store to store for $150 pretty much anywhere in the country. I believe they will even band it to a pallet for you so you don't have to crate it. Had a dually truck axle and a few sets of offroad tires shipped to me this way.

he lives in Alaska sadly, the land of double the shipping costs no matter what.

Sometimes triple. Lol

A valve body and pnp switch, not that difficult for Brandon.

It would.

When I move back down to the lower 48, you can expect me at your door with a transmission, Brandon. Lol

Exactly why I said "pretty much anywhere"...and not just anywhere

Great... Just what I need. A GPF member creepin' around my house.

(creep, creep) Oh hi, how you doin?...

(creep, creep)

Free bump.

Build a 97-02 GT tranny so I can buy it from you.

Hmmm. Maybe the next one should be a standard 4t65e....

Seems wasteful to me to build a trans and not put the hard parts in, diff is the only other difference between 4t65e and 4t65eHD

So what are you driving now? You sold the GTP, your sigs you bought another fwd car but didn't I remember you saying you'd get a g8? Im a bit behind on times around here lol

I don't disagree, BUT... It depends on what you're end goal is. For a guy running a tune, 3.4" pulley and headers, a 300m and 7/8" chain is unnecessary. A lot of the techniques used in a "built" transmission translate to a great "standard" build. A good build using stock parts will result in a quicker shifting, cooler running, longer lasting unit. It just wont handle the higher horsepower levels. Think about a taxi, or soccer mom's minivan. Not race cars by any means, but they live in some of the harshest conditions.

If you ever head in that direction we can talk.

The perfect GT transmission.

First time was just kind of thrown together to get something out there.

USPS delivered more parts today. Going in this afternoon. Shift kit will go in per the instructions (standard configuration). I can modify it for a different power level if trans is purchased before the final assembly
