700R4 Torqe Converter Lock Up Wiring
I've learned a lot over the winter rebuilding my Chevy automatic transmissions. Thanks a bunch to Michelle for letting me take over the basement all winter and putting up with the musk of burnt tranny fluid. I feel much better about my automatic Astro van now, knowing I can fix the transmission, should I burn it out. Before it was like "when's this trans going to go?" and I would always be on the look out for a new van, or have a back up truck ready to go. Now I will have a back up automatic transmission built and ready to install.
I didn't really film the rebuilding, cause honestly I didn't know what I was doing, and it took about 6 months, hour here, hour there. Next one I will film, with short cuts, to show what you most likely get with a $800 rebuild.
I did a few mods to the automatic transmission to make it hold up better towing the 4500lb electrical trailer. Those mods are going to cost me more work on the install, because I will have to mess about pulling the governor, and modifying the governor, to get the shift rpms back to where they were before the higher pressures and bigger valves. I have 2 videos covering the mods I did here.

Engine and Transmission Removal - '95 Suburban - Part 1
Using the Ford backhoe, we removed the engine and trans combo from the Suburban. This truck has about 170,000 miles, and sufferred a driveshaft failure caused by a cracked transmission case. The only fix is to rebuild the transmission into a new case. Since so many parts were going to have to come out, it was decided to remove the engine too so it can be gone over, and freshened up.
Now the project will meet a fork in the road - rebuild the trans, freshen up the motor, and put it back in? Or just build up a carb'ed 572 and make lead sled. :)
