    Alright guys, tonight Bill and I dove into the transmission. Bill thought we should've gotten further within the 1.5 hrs we worked but I think we did okay. Today we:

    - removed all parts within the case
    - removed filter/accumulator
    - installed 3rd gear Zpak (added additional wave plate, yeah, no slop there lol)
    - Raybestos Stage 1 clutches for input (added additional steel plate, no slop) and 2nd gear (added additional friction plate)
    - swapped over to the newer ratcheting 3rd gear sprag

    Parts I learned that I now need to order/planned to order: Transgo shift kit, high energy green bands for forward, reverse, and manual 1-2, new 4th gear clutches/steels, filter, and maybe a few other things I forgot.

    When I tore down the trans I shook the clutch packs. There was a lot of slop. 2nd gear was pretty well shot. I managed to do that kind of damage in about 5-10k miles when it was in the GTP haha. The Raybestos Stage 1 clutches are the best we can get right now for our 4t65e's and of course the 3rd gear Zpak (nice knowing I have a spare). Looking forward to nice firm shifts and breaking the tires loose on command.

    I'm taking Tuesday-Sunday off so project intrigue is happening next week for sure. Prior to that, Kooks Longtubes are making there way into the G8 this weekend

    PS.. 8 foot car work table was one of those, great tool purchases. And it doubles as a pong table.
