Thread: Major upgrade! - Better Engineering parts washing cabinet rehab.

Do you run a transmission business or a painting business? Comments in the thread got me all confused. Lol. Looks great man! I was thrilled when I bought my first gallon bucket of parts cleaner. You know the thing with the little tray that drops in? Yeah man, that was a big step up for me!

I guess by definition I run a transmission business. I have an LLC and rebuild 4L60e's exclusively out of my garage. That's not my full time job however. My regular job is only tangentially related to the auto industry and the only tool I need for it is a mouse. Everything else you see me do is just for fun, experience, and to save some money.

Thanks! Hey, it's all about progression. I remember when I got my first pressure washer. 1500 PSI. After cleaning cases by hand with a garden hose, that was a big step up. Then I got the 2030 PSI unit. Another step up. Now I have this cabinet. That should do for a little while.

Thanks Scott! I have a tendency to dive into a new area of interest, learn as much as I can, monetize it, then move on. I cut my teeth on the 4T65e and enjoy building them. Unfortunately there just doesn't seem to be a market to support that side hustle. The 4L60e on the other hand... Those seem to be everywhere. Also, considering the popularity of the LS swap, there's potential to be building them for the next 40 years. Shoot, the 700r4 was introduced in '82 and guys are still rebuilding those.
