Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Where do you get your polyurethane?

    Looking to cast some polyurethane mounts for an outboard motor. I don't need much, maybe a 1/2 lb to 1 lb kit, 80A durometer or so. Preferably black color, but not that important. I know many of you have cast/filled various mounts with polyurethane. Where'd you find a good price on a product...

    Torque converter, is my one-way stator clutch gone?

    FLHB torque converter from my 4T65E From what I understand of how a torque converter works, the one-way clutch in the stator should allow it to rotate freely in one direction (clockwise), but not rotate in the other (counterclockwise). Right? See video: MOV032.mp4 video by agrazela -...

    SSIC core opened up; saw pics somewhere???

    I recall once seeing pictures of the inside of a ZZP SSIC core opened up (that is, with the plates separated and the corte taken out) I can't remember what forum it was on...maybe this one? Anyway, anyone seen (or have) said pics?

    PT vs Tiny Tuner; Spark mg/cyl not the same...?

    Screen shot of my Good Fuel Spark (GFS) table on PowrTuner: Now, same table looking at Eddie's Tiny Tuner on the Web: On both shots, starting at 80 mg/cyl, the mg/cyl increments by 40 up to 560. But then the last three rows in PT say: 600, 640, 680 mg/cyl The same last three rows in Tiny...

    Tuned topswap / SSM90; what's your WOT timing?

    People who've done a Gen3 M90 topswap or put a ZZP SSM90 kit onto an L36/L26 bottom end and have tuned out the KR... What kind of WOT timing are you seeing? Also list: -Pulley size? -Octane fuel? -Supporting mods? -psi boost being made (if you know)? -Anything else pertinent??? (Don't be shy...

    "Tuned for X deg adv at WOT"...what's that mean?

    When someone says, "I've tuned for X degrees spark advance at WOT," do they mean maximum advance they see under WOT, or minimum? In other words, are they saying: "I'm doing X degrees just as I get into WOT (although it may tail off as RPM goes up)"; or, "At no point in a WOT run, even near...

    How much Dex 6 to have on hand to fill dry trans?

    Will be swapping in a rebuilt 4T65E over Xmas break. There's already 1 qt of Dexron 6 in the 245mm reman TC. How much more at minimum should I have on hand to be sure to get the rest of the dry trans filled?

    TrannyMan95 rescued my rebuild

    I mangled the install of the teflon sealing rings on my 4T65E input / 3rd clutch hub and input shaft, because I'm too cheap to buy the right tools. Shipped the hub and shaft to tripleedgeperformance, Dave installed and sized all new seals and shipped back. One week total turnaround...

    "Extra Clips" in 4T65E Transmission Valve Body?

    Questions (for Trannyman, likely)... In inspecting the valvebody from this 1998 Regal GS 4T65E-HD, I found three "mystery clips" like this one: These clips are not referenced in the manual. They are smaller than any of the valve or solenoid end / retaining clips. One was found in this...

    Clutches for 4T65E-HD rebuild: BW, Raybestos, or Alto Red Eagle (or other)?

    Considering rebuilding a 4T65E-HD transmission for a topswapped, mildly cammed, lightly modded, daily driver (with the occasional track run). Expecting somewhere around 250-275 whp. Would go with a GT 3.29 35/35 stock gemini gearset and stock GT 245mm torque converter. I'm considering various...

    Another year compatibility "what would it take" thread...

    Call this an offshoot of this thread, and taking it "in reverse": http://www.grandprixforums.net/f21/some-4t65e-year-compatibility-questions-trannyman-2706.html Suppose I wanted to drop a 2003/2004 transmission into a 1998 H-body. From looking at the thread above and other sources (especially...

    L26 / L36 flexplate interchangeable?

    So the L26 has the powdered metal versus cast (?) rods of the L36, right? I imagine that would give the L26 rods a different weight? So then, is the L26 crankshaft different? (or weighted differently)? Ultimately, would the flexplates (flywheel) between an L36 and L26 be interchangeable?

    Some 4T65E year compatibility questions; Trannyman?

    What all would need to be done to a 1998 4T65E-HD (from a Regal GS W-body) during a rebuild to prepare it to drop into a 2004 H-Body (LeSabre)? I am thinking in terms of torque converter, line fittings, valve body / PCS update, harness / controls (98 is non-IMS, 04 is IMS), and whatever else...

    What is K-factor "R115" on 4T65E TC?

    I understand what k-factor is in a torque converter: Torque Convertors - Thrasher Engineered Performance 3800 & 3800SC Pontiac Grand Prix GTP & Buick Regal GS Looking at charts of 4T65E applications: GM FWD Transmission ID charts Up to 1999, all the TC's have simple k-factor numbers (e.g...
