Re: rebuild trans

As said the transmission repair hand book is your best friend.
Also AF's Blue Bowtie has some info here.
It is on a Blazer but a lot the same as yours.

Re: rebuild trans

Another thing,in the direct drum,there are 5 black springs in the drum.GM says to put them back in and the aftermarket says to throw them away.Take the aftermarket's advice,throw them away.The problem with them springs is that it restricts the clutches from floating easy starting to burn the top clutch and will burn the rest of them up.Get the removal tool to remove the line from the Jiffy tite connectors,they are not flare nut fittings.

The springs are there to keep the clutches from dragging during high centrifugal force situations.
