• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Magnasteer wire

    I pulled the tranny out of my 2000 Olds Intrigue over the weekend. Yesterday, I went to pull the jack out from under the car and it hung up on the wires going to the magnasteer and jerked them out of the rack. Has anyone ever been inside the magnasteer rack? If so, is the magnet accessible in...

    4t65e rebuild...the sequel...

    I got the tranny back out today. For those not familiar with this, I rebuilt the tranny in my 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue a few weeks ago with less than stellar results...heh, there's an understatement. Well, it promptly burned out the second gear. Anyway, I tore it apart and holy cow. I hate to...

    Learning the 4T65E

    OK folks, since I botched the rebuild of my 4T65E I decided to do what I should have done to begin with. I found a GM manual that explains exactly how this thing works, including hydraulic schematics. Since I work with electronics by trade, I am more comfortable reading these. In an attempt to...

    Heat and the 4t65E

    OK, so if you have been following my other thread on the rebuild, you know there are problems. Here is a rundown: Cold engine and tranny: Everything is fine, runs like a top. Engine and tranny at operating temp: Engine runs fine. Tranny slips, mis-shifts (both under load) and sometimes sets...

    Side pan removal...in car

    Hey Bill, I was looking at your write up here: http://www.grandprixforums.net/how-transmission-4th-gear-side-cover-access-54448.html. I am going to pull the side cover off the recent rebuild because I am beginning to suspect VB or CP gasket leakage as the cause of the problems I'm having. I...

    Clutch air test

    Does anyone have or know the procedure to air test the clutches in a 4t65e? I built the clutch stack and filled the apply holes with fluid. When I use about 25psi in the apply holes, the input clutch engages fine, and the fourth piston engages fine. Second sounds like it's leaking and does not...

    4t65e rebuild...

    And boy do I have questions! History: This tranny is out of a 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue with nearly 200,000 miles on it. As far as I know the fluid and filter have never been changed. Problem: A few months ago it started the infamous "bang shift". Then a few weeks ago it began hesitating...

    Introduction and hello

    Hi, I'm Monty from West Virginia. I don't own a Grand Prix, but joined because of the knowledge I found in the transmission forum; particularly concerning the 4t65e. I have a 2000 Oldsmobile Intrgue with nearly 200,000 miles on it. The tranny finally gave up the ghost and decided it didn't feel...
