Sorry to hear it man. Our transmissions are our achilles heel in these thing, everything else is solid. I've had 3 rebuilds already. #2 and 3 were under warranty from #1

 

There really isn't much to these trany's. It's completely torn apart on the bench. I was really surprised at how easy it came apart
Didnt find any other problems after the disassembly, all the frictions look really good, I'll be replacing them anyway. Don't see a point in having it out and apart on the bench and not throwing some new parts at it.
[/align] Anyone done any upgrades they would recommend while it's the bench?
Wondering about the converter, as in what stall the factory one is vs what I should get.
Anyone tow with their D that's changed the converter? What stall did you go to?[/align]

I had the valve body modified/shift kit installed. I have a ~2200+stall.(crappy brand) I don't care to tow,more of a performance guy,but with the 4.10 gears it didn't have a problem. If I was to buy a "good" one I would get one from thefastman. If you tow alot & care about gas mileage, I wouldn't get a stall convertor.

 

I have a Fairbanks Shift kit to install, so got that taken care of.
I was thinking I would just stick with a stock stall at this point, just wanted to know if there was anything else that worked better.

Iam having problems between 3/4 shifts and am about to replace the governor pressure sensor and the solenoid. However I was reading this post about the input/output speed sensors and that there might be one located inside the tranny under the pan. Is this true? I pretty much just want to replace every bit of electronics while I'm in there. I know there's an external speed sensor on the back of the tranny but inside as well? What other electronics exist under the tranny oil pan? Thanks

 

I'll take a look tonight but I didnt find a second one onmy 99 46re, Only had the one on back of the trans.
