Re: George Blake
this worries me about mine, ill post my findings when i open mine
Well.... Update on my PG George Blake 4L80e...
He got me... :fist:
But unlike others my trans looks pretty good on the inside.. Except for not having a billet clutch hub or billet intermediate shaft.. :rant:
I was at the trans shop when they yanked it appart... Off came the TC and there was a billet input shaft sticking out... Good... Trans came apart and no other billet parts... Not so good..
Geoge's special 2nd gear cluth pack was just thinner steels with one additional clutch... Nothing special as far as the trans shop is telling me... Just standard Hi-Po stuff..
Looks as it has some of the basic upgrades, transgo HD2 installed, and quality clutches and bands..
The true story will be told when they go and throw it back together and they measure all of the clearances and go through the pump..
After speaking with the trans builder he recomends that we get a billet cluth hub in the trans as the stock one does not like more than 650-700 ft. lbs. He also stated that I have no need to get a billet intermediate shaft put in the trans as he has seen that the stock one is good for 1000+ ft. lbs.
So in total George got me for; $500 billet intermediate shaft, $200 billet clutch hub, another $200 billet clutch hub, and $650 worth of labor.
Gotta love dirt bags... Too bad he doesn't live closer... I would love to pay him some special attention..
What comes around, goes around...
See ya...
