Re: 4l80e swap slip yoke question

That might just be the ticket. Think my output shafts splines are 5.5" and it has that goofy sleeve on it that looks like a small soda can. Will contact the sonnex folks and make sure this will work...

Re: 4l80e swap slip yoke question

So the measured engagement of slip yoke to output shaft as far as yoke fitting over the output shaft is 1.75 inches. That seems way too short. A second question is, the output shaft has a fair amount...

4l80e swap slip yoke question

Re: Choosing a torque converter

So to sum up KingtalOns post's, shifter position D4 should be used for cruising only? When racing or WOT, make sure to drop down into D3? Seems simple enough.
