Hhmmm I just found this today.....
This is of course for the larger transmission.... the 46RE
Mine the 44RE, but it can give you an idea what might be involved.
This guy also skipped some steps, so don't use it as a step by step....

Looks like I will pay someone to install it

I always relate automatic transmissions with black magic, and this does nothing to change my mind. I think you're making the right call.

Sometimes I gross myself out when looking at a transmission - it seems like a bunch of intestines in there. I know they're there, I'm glad they're there, and I want them to work. I just don't want to see them or touch them.

Sorry for over sharing...I better go have some more coffee.



Take care,
Jerry

I think you had too much flank steak for lunch.

Marcus - it depends on the kit. Do you know if you purchased the towing kit, race kit or performance kit?

July 7, 2004

I'm not sure... I'm looking into it....

Another thing that is making me worry....
I have seen where it is listed for the 46RE and 42RE, but not the 44RE.
I've sent an email to the seller asking if they know, seems how they say they are a transmission shop or something like that

I'll keep you all posted....

Dunno if this helps.

Ceo from that link you posted I think it's the Performance kit... The part numbers match up

It also looks like everything should install fine......
So I'm back in buisness....

Hijacking this topic two-fold...

First--speaking of 80's music...there's this radio station in the Sac area that plays just 80's songs! I dunno about you fellas, but IMHO the 80's was the best decade as far as pop/rock/R&B music in the last few generations is concerned.

Second--I'm sorta considering getting a trans kit (in addition to the Westers tranny programming already in place), or at least a tranny cooler; on my recent trip to AZ my tranny temp was regularly stuck around 200 deg.--not in the red, but considering that previous to going on that trip, the tranny temp barely got past 150. 'Cuz you know what they say--next to shift abuse, heat is the worst enemy for a tranny.

Hmmmmmm..........the Westers AND a Transgo or B&M shift kit. Please keep us informed if you go that route. I was steered from the B&M because people complained that the shift was too harsh.

July 8, 2004

I'd love to get a programer and a tranny cooler also...

Does anyone here have a programer and a shift kit?

I know, Jerry your just going to have to get a shift kit and let us know how the combo feels
Just tell Kim I said it was okay..... Actually I think she's onto our plan... You better not mention my name

July 8, 2004

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see a need for a shift kit - at least on my truck. The full-throttle shifts were firm, even before the Westers. I'm not sure they're any more firm now...they just happen at higher RPM.

Take care,

Jerry remember everything can always be more firm
