I have a 5.3 with 4l80e Clinebarger helped me build it , theres a thread here somewhere he walked me through it. It does what I want mostly tire chirps and rolling burnouts It is heavy, will take about 3-4 maybe 5mpg off your highway cruise from a 4l60e. But its easy to work on because all...

Do not use a catch can, extra hoses is extra friction and deleterious to crankcase pressure signal. Extra volume is added capacitance which creates a delay in crankcase pressure recovery during transitioning between idle/cruise and WOT situations. Combustion byproducts are gasses which cannot...

My favorite part of auto mechanics is taking stuff from a car into the parts store and having them tell you its still good. I eventually stopped believing that parts can actually go bad. When something fails, I start looking all around, anywhere other than the part that isn't working for the...

Thanks again, To see everything I've done to this 5.3 4l80e Turbo car, build threads: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/other-cars/4109370-5-3-4l80e-240sx-3000lbs-college-budget.html https://www.yellowbullet.com/threads/d-1996-nissan-240sx-lsx-4l80e-turbo-daily-driver.2559833/ coming soon...

Luckily The OEM IRS 240sx suspension is intended for a much heavier car, it is the same differential VLSD used in an Infinty Q45 for example (V8 'luxury' style car). The chassis is actually called a Silvia in Japan and they are all slightly over-engineered with respect to suspension because both...

A 4l60e or anything in that rotating weight range, is truly ideal for my car. The little Nissan is very light, and I don't use any Tbrake. But I do not have the skills, space, or patience (even with GREAT help) to attempt a one-off 4l6xe rebuild, I wish. I will in the future if ever reach an...

Glad you asked :D Its very quiet when it wants to be :D

Finally got a chance to bolt up the converter, put in driveshaft, and Drove it for the first time last night! What a rush. No leaks no strange noises, good. Shifts feel realllyyy good. I went .095" 2nd, .105" 3rd, and .125" 4th. Has a really nice 'spring' to it now, shifts feeling positive, it...

thanks for all the help. My yolk didnt have any hole in the end. It also doesn't have a place for any seal. I did however seat the seal inside the little "cover" and the yolk went into it, with some pressure. But in the end I just removed the seal and put the "shell" metal piece back on like I...

Are you saying my Driveshaft YOKE (the metal tube) has an end plug inside the end part of it? I am unfamiliar with this, so I am not sure where to look. Next, there is an O-ring on the outside of the sleeve, but you are saying that there is ALSO a seal on the INSIDE of the sleeve? I will have...

I THINK I SEE What you are saying, in my PICTURE they roller clutch is up, out, unseated. Yes that was just because disassembly and I snapped a pic before changing it out just to show old/new parts. So Yes, I put the roller clutch DOWN, just wiggled it onto the ridges like in your pic. I Put the...

What do you mean by old one? Are you referring to the picture where I am showing the original OD roller clutch next to the brand new unit in the box? If so yes I put the new one in before I assembled it. However your words could be taken another way. You could mean "OLD MODEL" Like I used the...

Another question, I just remembered, There is this weird silver cap shield thing that goes onto the output shaft, inside the extension housing. It has a seal on it also. I can get a picture of it if necessary. But I was wondering, what it is, what it does, do I need it? I had to knock it off...

thanks! Some pictures of assy from 2 days
