I gotta quit...

[Viperwolf1]

It involves hours of scraping, wire brushing in the parts cleaner, drying, scraping with a pick and finally pressure washing. I wish I had a bead blaster.

I'm with Ken, Great problem to have, lol..

Don't quit

The tcase and one C4 belongs to Landshark. Just a re-seal on the tcase. It was low miles and has the best looking gears I've ever seen inside. Here are some before pics.

What's your opinion of "Boss Hogg" torque convertors?

My spare parts stack has a nice coat of rust on it. ;D

 

[POOH BEAR]

Do you have any extra shift levers for a c4?

Check with EBS Idaho, he told me he has a few.

I actually used one of their low-stall converters for a while. It was ok but my combination of 302/HO cam/3.50 gears didn't really care for it. That was right after putting the EFI motor in and I toasted the old 100K mile trans within a couple months. I built a healthy trans and went with a stock converter after that. I would like to try something around 2k stall but I'll wait until I have a good reason to take it apart.

Right on.. Was just curious.. I still got a "new in the box" boss hogg convertor was going to use on the last Rig, thought I'd hang on to it for whatever reason ya know. Got a C4 in the new rig, so it might come in handy.

Phil, you can't quit yet! I am almost ready to pull the tranny and tc out of the turd.. and send to you for healing!

Well, I dropped Jeremy's C4 off today so that leaves an open space.

Do they all belong to someone or spoke for? What do you charge to rebuild one with the good stuff. The shipping would probably kill me both ways from Ms.

They all have local owners or are spoken for. Parts run close to $300 for a rebuild if all the hard parts are good and I charge $200 for the labor. That's probably only $5 per hour cause I like to take my time and build them as if they were going in my Bronco. I only work on local parts because shipping would be a killer and I wouldn't want to replace one that got lost or destroyed.

That's the story of my life. A day late or a dollar short or a 1000 miles way. I would love to get you to build it right, but the distance is too much.
Is it feasible for a guy that knows nothing about a auto trans except where to check the fluid and never even looked inside of one, to rebuild it right? I am fairly mechanical, as I farmed for 30 years and did most of my repairs, except engines.

You could do a basic rebuild with some good reference material providing nothing is abnormally wrong with the trans. I rebuilt one last year that had so many problems I couldn't believe it worked at all. Pump bushing was installed backwards, pump gear installed backwards, direct clutch seal installed sideways, direct clutch burnt up, and all the rear bushings and front planet was burnt up. Turned out the trans cooler line was pinched shut and that stopped cooling and lube to the rear of the trans. The moral is if you take your time and lots of pictures you can put it back together with fresh parts but it may not have been correctly previously.

Badshoe productions is supposed to have a real good video on C4 rebuilds but I haven't seen it. You'll need a couple special tools like a dial indicator and a direct clutch compressor. I made my own compressor.

Here in backwoods Ms. we don't have a lot of choices as to trans shops. I talked to the one that built Nyles's trans, but he just did a stock rebuild and did not want to do any up grades other than better clutch disks.

It has held up under Nyles's heavy foot though.
