Their are lots of required tools needed to properly rebuild the 4t65e correctly. You can backyard mechanic it, but thats up to you.

Tools you have to have

Tiny screwdriver for snap rings
Snap ring pliers
Some form of a clutch compressor
Teflon seal resizers for input shaft and input clutch drum (can have a local trans shop do this for some cash)
Bushing Driver set to replace bushings
Valvebody reamer to implement TCC fix
feeler gauge


Lots of other recommended tools like a bearing puller, final drive clearance checker and so much more.
 
If you actually read the 4t65e manual you dont need the final drive clearance checker, its optional, there is method 2.
 


thanks jj91284 im a ase certified mechanic but not with tranz just sumthing about them scare me dont wana take the test and get my certification and get stuck rebuilding one for a customer id rather practice on my own stuff lol

tomarrow ill snap some more shots guys THE NEW HARDENED 4th clutch hub vs the old 1........ literally NO teeth lmao hahaha sungear and reverse band are bad 2 haha more pics to come!! also today i got my case and internals sparkling clean ha
 
cool thread, love the excitement in tearing into the trans.

I have a 15 min drive to work and typically my car will be at 2k rpms at around 55mph for half the drive then it will like fall into 4th completely and be @ 16-1700 rpms. its a 97 with 155k miles. :thumbsdown

FWIW, if you are only driving 15 minutes to work, the car tranny is hardly warmed up by then. Mine will not let the TC lock up until the trans temp reached 78°F. On cold days, that can easily take 10-15 mins.

Your referring to method 2 which is about using a flat edge across the trans and measuring. What you don't realize is method one is FAR superior because with the final drive tool LOADS the internal trans components along with the diff tool which keeps everything tight and gives you an accurate measurement.

Don't even try to tell me using no J-tools is better than not.

Re read my post buddy. I never said it was better. It is an alternative and ive never had any issues with my rebuild using method 2. Preload is negligible since putting it all together and forcing it down is plenty loaded down, taking the end play out is all that is really necessary.

Preload can mean taking out the slop out in parts before everythings been loaded or clamped down. That's exactly what they J-tool does and applies constant pressure and prevents the parts from being cocked sideways. Rebuilding a few transmission and having only limited mileage can not definitively say it's been rebuilt to the same standards that GM intended them to be and improved upon from R&D in design flaws.

Can you rebuild a trans without a torque wrench, sure you can. Is their potential to do damage without it, you bet.

If you did read my original post I mentioned it in the recommended tools and not as a necessary tool. You should re-read what I wrote in my original post, or better yet I'll post it
