You need the frictions for a 48RE, they have the finer splines. Im not sure if you can swap ring gears out or not. I wanna say yes, but im not 100 percent.

 

Thanks. I will try to pick them up tomorrow. I don't mind "experimenting" in an area where I am comfortable, but with something like this, I would rather be sure.

Thanks to all of you that have helped. You cannot imagine how helpful you have all been. Without DF, I would not have attemped this task. Can't wait to get this tranny back in and start on other projects like steering, plenum, suspension, and significant body repair! I know I will have more than book value invested, but ther is something about restoring a truck that you cannot put a $ value on sometimes. (Found a 1938 Dodge 1 ton for sale - may snag it up for next project!)

 

I am installing Sure Cure kit and have a question. I am looking at the separator plate modication on page 4. But there are two plates, niether of them look like the one in the instructions.

Is there something I am missing, or could this be due to a year model difference?

Thanks.

 

turn the plate on the Left 90 degrees clockwise and you will see it.

I feel a little foolish now. I did not realize that Sonnax was only shoing part of the plate. Between the frustration due to excessive heat, and losing the detent ball, I had decided to give it up for the evening.

Thanks for helping me with this!

 

Your welcome. It happens to all of us.

Well, it was a Monday. COuldn't skip out of the office to get frictions. Maybe tomorrow.

I am getting ready to order new TC, but checking various websites, I have discovered that I do not know enough to order it.

Most sites ask for stall speed. Some show 2800 to 3000 rpm. What is factory stall speed for a 46RE, with a 5.2L? Would a higher stall be be better, or worse? (I thought a TC was a TC.)

 

Stock is reported to be somewhere between 1800-1900 RPMs. You do not want a higher stall with a stock cam, no real benefit there.

Try precision of new hampton for a stock replacement, should be better then the stock unit with the same general stall.

 

Found their website. Guess I gotta find a code on the original. They show several with 23 and 24 splines. Guess I'll count them also.

Thanks.

 

Where can I find a converter code. There is a number (3799) stamped on TC housing, a number printed on housing (1289) and a taf with 595 on it. On Precisions's website, I inserted each of these with no luck.
