I'm going to be starting it this Sat probably.
99, 5.9, 46RE
Doing a complete rebuild minus the OD section.
Wondering if anyone else here has done their own rebuild.
As of right now I don’t have the clearances, my bro in-law was going to get them for me but he had an emergency appendectomy yesterday so now I'm kinda screwed for a bit.
Need the clearances in both clutch packs and total end play.
If you have please post up.
Thanks

I'm gettin allot of info over at this other site.
No one got back to me on this info.
This is very technical info on rebuildingthe 46 REtrans and should be available.

I just had my tranny rebuilt Wed -Friday 1700 and seems to be OK so far. This was thru a Tranny shop recommended by my buddy who has used this guy for 30 plus years (family too)

A little FYI, change your radiator out with the rebuild otherwise you will have problems down the line. There is a site out there that offers lifetime warranty radiators for I believe a little over $100 and that will save you big down the line.

Really? Why would one swap out a radiator are they made of paper mache now?

I always recommend an auxilliary cooler, and replacing the one-way anti drainback valve in the cooler line.

I've done a couple hundred trannies with no consistant"radiator" issues,unless you are refering to the cooler in the radiator.Again I reccommend an external cooler and a new anti-drainback valve.
