I think you can use gm synchromesh
Thats a good alternative to gl4.
-
Yeah, I think an update would be cool. I live within 100 miles of him and would be interested in checking it out...

Less than that, my shop is in vallejo, right on hwy 29.

LOL, just realized that some guys have posted in this thread. The front suspension geometry works like a charm, the rear geometry sucks something serious, im going to move the uppers so i have a single triangulated 4 link and get rid of the panhard. Here is how my steering and panhard angles look like in the front.
I'll take some pics of how i killed the steering on a rock that didn't agree with me. haha

For the budget minded individual. haha... it has held up to crawling on 35's with stock t/c gears, 5 speed, and 4.88 gears.
-
Any news on this? I'd totally be up for this... also a good excuse to tweak on my truck.
-
who's down? yooozzzsssiii???
damn it, why didnt you IM me or something. i just saw this.... gah
-
How odd, i come back home to the bay area from Indiana (went to purdue) and slick is moving from cali to indiana. LOL
-
Honestly I prefer using the automatic off road. But it's looking more and more like that's the best option
Too bad you are not closer to our shop, i would take a look at the trans and see if its something that still can be salvaged without a full tear down. Funny thing is that i just finished fixing a trans in a 88 300zx that was having similar problems.
-
True but it couldn't hurt, and it's cheap enough that trying it first won't be that big of a deal financially. And if I do need a new transmission I'd need a cooler to go along with it anyways.
Just because it has an internal problem doesn't mean you have to get a whole new trans.

Should be an RE4R01A and RL4R01A
Same difference, one is just as ****** as the other, one has crappier planetaries and smaller bands plus one less friction clutch and iron... It really sounds like a front band issue, not a solenoid problem now. I don't think putting on a trans cooler is going to fix the problem.
-
So, you have no manual 2nd and it doesn't actually shift into 2nd from 1st? Just free rev's where 2nd should be? Sounds like a broken/burnt up front band and or front servo/apply piston failure. It could also be the front band strut has fallen out or broken. Only way to inspect the front band is to take the valve body off.
I'll take a look at a spare e4n71b and e4r01a i have at work, could be a solenoid issue if you are lucky.

A fluid change will not fix that problem, i suggest taking a good look at the fluid and seeing how burnt it is. Got manual 2nd?
-
where in the east bay are you? Last time I heard from you, you were out of state.
Nah, im back from school now. I live in Orinda and our shop is in Vallejo.
-
What the heck.... no one near the east bay??? =(
-
Like i said, im already in the east bay so they are close, i might hit up both this weekend.
-
I know it sucked a few years ago but heard it has gotten better, its real close to me (like 45 minute drive) so i want to give it a chance. Any one want to join me?
-
Looks like you have 3 or 4 bent tie rod ends, the idler arm bushings are shot, and i bet the center link is fawked too. That is the reason i got rid of the ifs, even after i had the stage 3 steering.
-
Newer pathies have rack and pinion steering......
-
I am leaving at 5:30am as well. there is plenty to do in Hollister until the meeting time. No worries.
Yozzi , We will have to catch you next time. I kinda wanted to see your truck. I have been toying with the SAS idea but want to keep its road manners. I wanted to see what made you truck have to be towed. I am kinda leaning toward not doing a SAS now..
Ahh, no highway driving because of bad rear geometry, soft springs, and no sway bars. Yea, catch you guys later.
-
Now i feel like an asshole... but now i definately cant go. Sorry guys. Maybe next time, i wish there was a closer place to the bay area....ugh.
-
You know guys... i might not go. I'm just not up to waking up that early and trailering my rig for 2.5 hours both ways for a day a wheeling. Maybe next time, i just worked my butt off this week and im just not up for so much driving.
-
jeez... 730? imma have to leave orinda at like 6- 630.
-
Also what time are we meeting in SJ?
We could meet at like 830 or 9? i dunno how early you want to be there. Also, i think it might be a good idea to swap cell numbers with everyone. Mine is 219-771-4899 and my name is oliver.

Alright, since enjoi is from san jo, then he should pick the spot.... last time we met at a costco or something....

I did custom 4 link in the rear and used 5.5 inch deavers.
