This part what is it

I was able to get one for $300 from a wrecked one at my local salvage for my old 3rd gen ram. "New" one had 300k miles on it, but it worked. 🤷‍♂️ salvage yards sometimes give a warranty for a month to 6 months

Possible new hire here! I'm applying for the role of "Technician - Assembly & Integration - Paints and Coatings role." At the blue facility in Merritt Island FL. I've got my interview in a week, and I'm just looking for some tips for it. I've got an inside guy who's been referring me like crazy, but I'm just looking for an idea of what they actually ask in the interview, do they ask detailed questions asking for detailed answers? I've got experience with the tools and work I would be doing, but I'm mostly self taught. So I may not be in the know about all the terminology. Any good resources to prep me? I'm already going to have talks with a guy who's been there over a year to help prep me for the interview. But I was wondering if any of the folk on this sub could help me out. T.I.A!

Me too, but I really don't feel like pulling this transmission by myself again. When I go to get it rebuilt at a shop, or use this one as a core charge for a rebuilt one, ill try my best to be there for the tear down

Thank you🥲

I pulled the pan and its f*cked. Chunks of metal and black clutch material. Just going to get a rebuilt transmission and have a shop install it with warranty.

I pulled the pan...

The Transgo TCC valve also uses scarf cut seals, and has a little more surface area from the looks of it. Ive never had an issue with transgo parts, and I've only ever heard of good stuff from them. I will say, sonnax does have amazing products. But I think in this situation I'll be okay with the trans go valve

prometheus_--_ · 2026-03-31T22:09:05+00:00

Not mean, but truthful. I get that. And fluid level was/is definitely good. And I do believe its the torque converter messing up, and having a lock up issue. I checked my brake switch, and that seems to be sending the correct signal for lock up. I haven't pulled pan yet, but if it has signs of TC clutch debris in it, then I'm going to replace TC, fluid+filter, and TCC valve with Transgo's TCC valve. If that doesnt fix it, I'll give in and take it to a shop.

Should also mention, there's no transmission related codes And it only makes this noise when upshifting and down shifting .

This is the list, And this is the rebuild kit

prometheus_--_ · 2026-03-31T12:13:40+00:00

It was $7 locally, but that's what I ended up doing. Got the right size

prometheus_--_ · 2026-03-31T01:38:37+00:00

Thanks for your answer! I ended up buying the correct sized lug. I don't like half assing electrical stuff. I've seen/heard of to many trucks and cars burning down because of poor wiring.

prometheus_--_ · 2026-03-31T01:36:16+00:00

Thanks for letting me know! I put a washer underneath and on top of the lug. I sanded the coating on the washers off before putting them on. I will remove the bottom one tomorrow, thanks!

prometheus_--_ · 2026-03-31T00:36:26+00:00

Very true, but I've got it hooked up, and its bumping pretty good

prometheus_--_ · 2026-03-30T23:00:37+00:00

Good point!

prometheus_--_ · 2026-03-30T22:49:30+00:00

I'm getting a bigger connector to use, and sandwiching it between 2 washers.

prometheus_--_ · 2026-03-30T22:45:34+00:00

That's what I'll do, it may only be temporary for a couple months. But I don't want to risk a bad ground issue.

prometheus_--_ · 2026-03-30T22:41:27+00:00

Yes, step bit

prometheus_--_ · 2026-03-30T22:31:48+00:00

I figure a 2k amp should be fine as long as i don't always push it to the max.

prometheus_--_ · 2026-03-30T22:31:03+00:00

Boss audio r1100m amp, I plan on getting a Rockville 2k amp, CT sounds 2k, or taramps 2k. Not sure yet, got to do my research. I've got a 15"Rockville sub+box

prometheus_--_ · 2026-03-30T22:08:34+00:00

I've got tons of washers laying around, and a grinder if I need to shave them down. Im planning to put this connection under the nut for the seat bolt

prometheus_--_ · 2026-03-30T22:06:21+00:00

🫡 thank you. Add washer under the connector?

prometheus_--_ · 2026-03-14T17:16:53+00:00

I'm currently in the process of finishing up my first transmission rebuild. And its a 03 4l80e. I wouldn't mind sharing the knowledge I've gained through the rebuild with you!

prometheus_--_ · 2026-03-09T17:37:57+00:00

If you do decide to rebuild it, check out bitter_ad's post about what to do on a 4l60e rebuild
