Used the original TEHCM with a Quick Learn & a extensive test drive, Not a catastrophic failure....Just a burnt 456 clutch. I have plenty of experience with 6L80E/6L90E builds & swaps, I don't bother with used T43 TEHCM's. Original or GM reman only.

Good job CLine. Now ya gotta tell your buddies.

How many miles are on it?

 

[clinebarger]

Right at 100,000....Odd failure as it has the same exact front pump seal that the 6L80E/6L90E uses. Front pump bushing was it perfect shape as well.....No surprise there, The converter weighs about 1/2 what a TMBX 6L80E converter weighs. Of course this only got out of hand because the leak wasn't caught/repaired before the fluid level got low.

Yep odd? I wonder if it ran low and ruined it?
