When the valve body is dropped, is there anything that can fall out such as springs, balls, etc... To watch out for?

 

no, nothing should fall out. just make sure you un bolt the correct ones. it sorta helps to have another guy hold it while you un bolt it. and then have them guide it back up when you torque the bolts down. pretty straight forward. look at the first post on this thread. thats what i did and i went step by step by the pictures. and it worked great! good luck!

Can I use regular dex VI tranny fluid from the chevy dealer?

 

Anybody know? Can I use regular dex VI tranny fluid from the chevy dealer? not synthetic just regular VI? Will it hurt my tranny? I went to the dealer,gave them my vin and that is the fluid they sold me for it.

 

I guess no body knows?

 

Dex3.

 

Stick says dex VI (6), dealer put my vin in computer and sold me dex VI(6) ! So what came in it 3 or 6? Why does dip stick and the dealer say 6?

 

Dex6 was never tested by Allison and over time, can harden the seals and cause leaks in the older transmissions, from what I was told by reputable transmission builder. It was recommended for me to use dex3 when I built the trans. 06 LBZ. Dealer will tell you what they are being told to tell you and not what is best (and usually know any better).

 

If yours is newer where you actually use the Trans go Jr kit aka 6speed then Dex vi is fine but transynd would be best.

Also search out the thread in here titled Mr. Transynd or something like that tons of info.

Ok,I Installed the transgo jr. Plan on switching over to transynd. How much fluid do I need to fill it up after shift kit install, drain after a few miles, and refill? ( double drain method)

 

I believe a minimum of 4gallons probably get 5 to be safe.

If you use more than half of your supply on the first fill don't drain it till you get more fluid lol

Thanks for the write up!

 

subd great write up. next on the list for the lbz

 

i like how noone answered anyones questions on how much fluid was needed when dropping the pan and doing the transgo jr kit lol

 

Also another question i saw that wasnt answered (and i literally read every single post on this thread lol) should you relearn on ur higher hp tune? I also want to know, with an h&s mini maxx should you relearn on every tune after transgo jr install or only stock and the rest of the tunes will be okay? (the tunes are stock, 60hp, 120hp, and 175hp)

Thanks for the write up. :thumb

I was half way through the disassembly of the VB (under the truck) when I came upon this thread. Helped out a lot. I wish I saw the thread before I started but it is my own fault for not looking. It would have saved me some time.

Whats the consensu on high mileage trannys? I will be getting EFI soon and was planning on this as well. I am just shy of 290,xxx miles. What do yall think? Lifted 6" on 35's.

 

It takes 2 hours and the cost is primarily new fluid.. What could it hurt?

If you roast it you have an excuse for a BD, PPE, ATS, etc high performance replacement tranny and then you can be starting threads about what head bolts and turbo upgrades you should be getting.....:gearjamin

 

lol yeah that's true what he's saying^^ but it does not hurt to do the transgo and you'll feel like the tranny shifts wayyy better than before.

 

Ok just checking. 300k is nothing to scoff at. Wasn't shre if it was like switching to synthetic if you have high mileage and oil leaks. Ill look into getting it.

I have an 06lly I'm just de-tuned 40-50 hp right? If so, if let'a say for ease of math, you out a dsps5
1)40hp- is this the same as an 07
2)80hp- would this be a 40hp increase over a stock 07?

Just trying to see exactly what kind of stress ill be adding. Thanks in advance
