Found out the trans was out of a 98 model 3500 pickup, 2wd, 5.7L engine.
Only reason to go back to the 60e is because I lost too much speed at the track due to the drag on the transmission or there is something wrong with the 80e. There was no gauranty the transmission is good, just that it would drive the truck the guy bought on and off his trailer. The fluid is a little dark and I will be changing it out along with the filter when I take the pan off to fix the dent in the bottom.

Got the 4L80E conversion U-joint today from Orielly's, its a number 447 made by Precision(Federal-Mogul)http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku . If you have to go from a 1.188" cap U-joint(snap ring outside or not used) to a 1.125" cap U-joint(snap ring inside), this is the one you'll need. This can be used for rearend swaps to a 1 ton rear and allows you to keep your original driveshaft without having it modded. My stock driveshaft is going to fit right on the 4L80E output yoke. I had already bought a Denny's Driveshaft urethane carrier bearing support, so now the driveshaft should be pretty solid. The transmission I have came from a 1 ton 2wd truck and the output shaft has a bolt-on yoke which allows me to just remove my stock 60e yoke and U-joint, install the 447 U-joint and bolt it back in place.If someone has the 80E similar to mine and needs new straps and bolts for the output yoke, the PN for Precision replacement parts from Orielly is 492-10.
So far I've removed the transmission pan and pounded it back flat. Inside the pan was perfectly clean, fluid was dark though. I replaced the filter and the filter seal that is driven into the case. Who knew that the stock transmission pan used a captive seal on it similar to the ones they use on the LS1 engine gaskets? Not me. I replaced both cooler line fittings that were missing. I found out the rear fitting is special and has a guide tube in it if you have a 98 or newer 80e. If you use the short fittings on both locations you will burn up the rear section of the transmission. I had to cut the return/rear line to extend the connection to the new fitting location. I bought my rear cooler fitting from transmissioncenter.net for $8 but the damn shipping was $10!The pressure side fitting is one from my old 60e. For rear mount, my stock 60E urethane mount is going back in.
Tomorrow A.M. I will be bolting the driveshaft back in and seeing about putting the dipstick tube in without buying a custom unit. After that, all I need is an 80e wiring harness from NelsonPerformance and to build a crossmember. Getting close to being complete but we all know what a pain in the ass details can be.

Okay, I've never used a transbrake or seen how they work. Rossler sells one for the 80e. 4l80e trans brake What would I be getting for the money? Would I not need a stall convertor if I got one of these?

Well, found out that it locks both drive and reverse gears in and then when you push the button all the load goes to the drive side. Interesting.

The transbrake locks both the drive and reverse gears? Which button are you talking about? Does the wiring harness from nelson change everything that you have now since its an OBS your putting the 80e in? Or I guess I mean how much is different?Originally Posted by RedHeartbeat

The transbrake solenoid activation button.
Waiting for Allen to let me know when he can get me the 80e harness. I'll keep you updated on ease of install. The PCM has to have the 80e trans control programming overlayed into the LS1 PCM to shift it. If it gets too difficult I'll just buy the Transgo stage 3 kit with vacuum shift pressure modulation and full manual shifting.

What made you decide to dump the 60E finally? 3-4 go again?
