    i have never rebuilt a transmission before. I had a “friend” who was supposed to help and walk me through it so I could learn. Instead he came over ripped everything apart and left me with a table full of parts and a book and wished me luck.. I have done pretty damn good so far but I’m down to...

    Hi guys I'm chasing a park brake for a TH400 or need to know if the 4L80e unit will fit on. The unit i'm after would have come out of a late 80's P30 or GM motorhome. Can anyone help?

    Good Morning all, It's been a while since I've posted here, but this issue is throwing me a curve ball. I rebuilt my TH400 a little over a year ago with the upgraded clutches and steels. I also dual-fed the direct drum by removing the second teflon seal and plugging the main feed hole right of...

    Hello All, I am working on installing an TH400 into an 89 Chevy Silverado that previously had the 4 speed transmission (TH700) with the TV cable. Where is the best place to install the vaccuum line for the modulator and is the wiring there for the down shift relay? Any help on this would be...

    OK, I have been driving manuals for years and like how you can slow down by simply letting off gas, upshifting, because the gears are "locked" there until you tell it what to do. Today I seafoamed my motor and was running around high rpm and noticed with my TH400, first gear does this! It...

    I have a TH400 in a 34 Coupe. I ran it hard in 1st gear until the governor shifted to 2nd. Now it won’t shift out of 1st and when you let off the gas the tranny doesn’t hold the car back it goes into a coast. There is no fluid in the vacuum line at the modulator, vacuum line is good. Level is good.

    Greetings Rodders! I've been a GM guy my whole life, which is funny, because the the only car I've driven for any length of time was a 1967 Cougar. I have two 1967 Camaros - one is for sale, because I finally bought my dream car - 1968 Charger. Once the Camaro is gone, I can finally get to...

    We have a th400 in an RV manufactured by Chevy and Fireball Industries. It is 31 years old. It will not go in reverse. We checked with a pressure gauge and everything is within normal ranges. No problems going forward. We think the problem has to do with a broken band inside there. The...

    New to rebuilding the TH400. got one that was previously gone through by another builder and I have found some of the mods done that are common. One I'm trying to figure out has to do with the 1-2 accumulator valve in the valve body. the ATSG book shows 3 configs, 2 of which have a spool...

    Hey everyone, I just rebuild my 355 SBC, and the engine runs great. Plenty of power. The transmission has a Hughes 2500 stall converter, a B&M Street and Strip Transpak, and a B&M Unimatic shifter. What's weird to me, is when I really get on it in 1st gear and slap it into second gear, it...

    Good Morning, Last week I rebuild my 400TH, it had been slipping in 2nd and 3rd before the rebuild. I found plenty of burnt clutches that I replaced along with a few bushings and seals. Hard parts were alright with little signs of wear. I put the transmission back in yesterday put 6 quarts in...

    I recently dropped a SBC (350) into my 1980 camaro, the transmission had been sitting out of the car for about 8 months, But when i drove it last, it shifted fine, so why it would stop working out of the blue is beyond me. I did remove the oil pan and change the gasket/filter, but I thought I...
