Back in action tomorrow. Had to rebuild the 2004R in the last couple of weeks. Never could get pressure up where it should be. Found out that Monster Transmission totally ripped me off. It was missing the shift kit and 4th gear was almost gone. I had purchased a this tranny as a rebuild and...

Finally closing in on my LSX swap. Had a short test drive last night and tranny shifted ok. There is a threaded port on the drives side, is that the correct location to check from? Going to hook up the pressure gauge tonight and check the pressures. Here is my TV cable set up from bowtie...

Since I don't drive this vette in the winter is it a big deal to bypass the radiator and just use my B&M stacked-plate cooler?

Got mine from Monster Transmissions. No problems so far.

Trans is out of fluid. Had a little bit of a challenge when pulling it with the engine and the rubber glove came off the tail and all the fluid was drained on the floor. Might be a little in the torque converter but not much. I will stay with Amsoil as I have a few quarts left over.

Stronger spring installed and new Lokar tv cable installed from bowtie. No bracket to hold the TV cable into the transmission like the old cable, guess the rubber grommet keeps in place. Installed the gasket with a light film transmission oil. Last time I used Amsoil synthetic transmission...

What are the torque specs for the oil pan?

I may already have that as my car had cruise. so I think my switch may work. Here is more info. http://www.73-87.com/7387garage/drivetrain/lockup.htm

Currently going to keep the 3.08 until I have a problem with the rear end. The trans is currently out of the car so I can wire the lock out correctly. I have a wiring kit harness I got with the trans and had it wired up so I had to hit the switch to lock up the tc. Want to wire it so I don't...

I am installing an LS LQ9. I believe there is a vacuum port off the back of the manifold. I will need a vacuum source for my brakes and headlights. I have a lock up kit that came with the tranny. Its a switched kind where I have to switch on/or off and looking to wire so I don't have to...

Just curious what would be a situation I would need to unlock my TC?

Got my kit from Bowtie's today. I am shopping for a pressure gauge to make sure the TV adjustment is correct. Is a cheap 300 PSI gauge ok to use. I can't think of anything else I would use it for. What size thread is the port on the side of the trans? Need to add a new oil cooler. Is it better...

PATC does not have any 2004R speedo gears. Looks like I will stay with what I have.

Will call PATC this morning. What is the oil capacity in this trans? I was running Amsoil and it shifted fine except the clunk when going from 2nd to 1st. Been considering Dex 6.

3.08 and 255/60/15 tires. I have a green gear. Bowtie says I need a black but they don't have any in stock and it isn't likely they will every get any as this unit has been out of production for so long.

Are the speedometer gears color coded? I have a green one and my speedo reads 70 mph and GPS says 65.

Ordered my kit from Bowtie today. http://www.tvmadeez.com/ls1_cam/ Also have new oil filter and gasket.

Wouldn't the transmission cooler keep it cool and at operating temps? Running Amsoil synthetic trans fluid. Is there a way to make the lock up automatic. I am going to be using a Holley HP ECU and I a couple of extra I/O.

I am swapping a LQ9 in my 78 vette. Last year I purchased a 2004R heavy duty from Monster transmissions with a 2800 stall convertor with the lock out kit. Had this installed with a SBC 350. I have searched the forum and found most of my answers. The transmission is currently on the bench...
