He takes good pictures!  I have about half the pictures loaded into a page for my site but I tried to shortcut the procedure by simply cutting and pasting his text so I would not have to retype all the verbiage... but when I did that, it picked up the formatting off the site so in the end, I will have to retype it to be consistent anyway LOL

Thank you for putting in the work for your site.  Sounds like a pain in the ass on your end also. 
Looks good so far.

If I’d known what I was in for from the start, this write up wouldn’t exist. 

Side note.  Working on some updated info on the pump bushing selection.  I actually found the original manufacturer of the bushings and they’re for sure the same company making the white ones. Looking into the black split ones.  Etc etc. 


I’m currently balls deep in playing around with hydraulic lockup and if I ever get it all sorted out that’ll be the next write up.   Not many seem to be playing with it.   Oem parts are scarce

It was not too bad once I learned how to overcome the formatting that was carried with the text I copied off your post.  In the end, I was only missing one picture that I had to come back for.  I was glad to do it

As of right now I’m only seeing the second half of the info on your site.   Is there a separate link for page 1 or something?

This is where it starts on my page.  Could I have missed an earlier part?

Pump bushing: Number 1 in the picture is the OE style babbit bushing. Number 2 is the teflon bushing that trans shops used for the better part of 15 years, and solved a lot of problems with, until one day (circa 2012) they quit making them. I've heard a couple versions of the story but my personal favorite was "they were shipping production of that bushing overseas and the boat carrying all the tooling sank". Numbers 3,4, and 5 are the teflon bushings available today. Notice 2,3, and 4 are a split bushing with a simple butted seam and number 5 is a solid bushing. Number 3 is a sonnax bushing and I think number 4 was from transtar. The bushing saga unfolded after I quit the trans shop and I can't honestly speak for which one of those two would be "better" if any difference at all. I've used whichever one i'm holding at the time AS LONG AS IT'S A SPLIT BUSHING. I've tried pressing the solid bushing (number 5) in on a couple different occasions, and both times they were tight on the converter hub and I didn't use them.  I've heard others report the same findings.  Number 6 is a "sure seal" bushing by teckpak/fitzall, note it has a rubber o ring in the middle. This is an attempt to keep oil from pushing the front seal out. I've never ran one, as my former boss/mentor told me to run far, far away from them. I'd rather do the proper drainback/seal mods. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bushing or two I've missed or if there's a cheap knockoff of the split teflons out there somewhere. Anything that's the same as a 700/4l60e and needs replaced in every build is bound to have a wide variety of options.

Well, hell, Steve!  Yep, I missed the first part somehow...no problem.  I'm glad you looked at it.  SMH second mistake of the day.  I must finally be getting old

ON the bottom of the first page, you made a note to yourself to insert forgotten picture.  did you do this?

Originally there was something to insert back in the original post.   I later fixed it but left that note in there on purpose as a nod to Gil Younger at Transgo.   He used to put shit like that in his shift kit instructions and it made me chuckle so I left it there when I retyped it.    You can delete it lol
