Ok got the valve body drilled for the the 2-3 shift valve and the separator plate modified.... I went ahead and used the factory plate that came with my valve body... Just need to get the surface rust off of it before i install it, decided to go that route, so i either have the transgo plate as a backup or can return it and get some money back from it......
1/8" hole drilled through valve body for the hd2-3 shift valve as per sonnax instructions.....
Well after a 12:30am walmart run for a $15 set of drill bits..... My pwm feed hole is plugged, gonna see if i cant use a real hammer and a vise at work to peen it a bit flatter tomorrow...
Sonnax kit has plugs for the pwm hole included... Took my die grinder with a 3m disc on it at about 1/4 throttle, just barely grazed it til the rust came off.... Ill probably hit it again with trans fluid soaked steel wool before it goes in....
Theoretically....yes, however.... Had an offer brought to my attention I would be stoooopid to pass up, so.....im goin back with 5 pinion GM planetaries

At this point im about ready to get this together get my tc and get it in so i can get my headers and cats on at the same time, so i can get her retuned.... And im really curious as to what is so special about this trans thats in the truck!!! Kicking myself for ever sending them the core back.... Coulda saved myself some $$$, oh well live and learn...... Debating if i wanna pull the input sprag back aprt and spend another $50 on the bw dual cage....

If you have the time and $$ bw part might be a good thing. You're doing 5 pinion after all!
Live and learn?! Yeah, I do that all the time I kinda wish I got a newer 4l80e. Then again I've learned a ton and that's what I wanted.
