See what it takes to replace the bushings on the GM TH400 automatic transmission.
Replacing some of the bushings on this unit is pretty straight forward. However, there are a number of bushings that are not as easy to tackle. Over-looking some seemingly minor details can lead to problems during the build, and cause a repeat transmission failure.
Learn about SOPs (standard operating procedures), tips/tricks, and upgrades.
TH400 Bushings:
1). Pump bushing.
2). Stator bushing.
3). Direct Drum bushing.
4). Center Support bushing.
5). Intermediate Shaft bushing.
6). Front Planet bushing.
7). Output Shaft bushing.
8). Case bushing.
9). Extension Housing bushing.

I have been attempting to rebuild my TH400 with the help and guidance of a book "How to Rebuild & Modify GM Turbo 400 Transmissions" by Cliff Ruggles. I'm definitely NOT the brightest bulb and therefore have been struggling with this rebuild. However, now that I have found your Southpaw Autowoks RU-vid channel with your "TH400 Build Series" my knowledge of my rebuild has greatly increased. Thanks to Andy's methodical easy to understand explanations I have a much clearer picture of how to proceed. THANK YOU GENTLEMAN, for taking your time and efforts to produce this series on the TH400. Your videos are a GREAT help to me. Please continue. Thanks Again, Doug

Also, for viewers, it’s important that after all of the bushing installation is complete, there needs to be a cleaning process that is repeating the original cleaning process remember clean, clean, clean three steps of cleaning before installation and blowing out all lubricant ports with an air nozzle, a transmission can never be clean enough for assembly, but it needs to be as clean as one can get it at least clean enough to eat from
@SouthpawAutoworks
@SouthpawAutoworks Год назад
We eat while building. Does that count? #Chips&Guacamole Couldn't agree more. 14:47 comes to mind. You can see the OD of the bushing shedding, as the bushing is pressed into the bore. That stuff has to be cleaned out. Shift valves, governor valve...they're all super sensitive to debris.

If I can, I'd like to know the bushing removal sizes you used to remove and install so I don't waste money on a bushing kit that won't work. I thank you for this video, as I bought a complete rebiuld kit with everything, including new bushings for a 74 th400. And I plan to use your videos as I rebiuld this tranny. Thank you.

@@SouthpawAutoworks 🤙🏻 Damnest thing is not doing it anymore. It’s of course electrical and intermittent and they are the FUN ones! I drove to Utah a month ago and no issues! I would love to put the TCC on a switch if you have any suggestions I am interested. Thanks for remembering. I know you have a ton of subscribers 🤩 PS: what size arbor press is Andy using?
@SouthpawAutoworks
@SouthpawAutoworks Год назад
I understand/recall that you've run the redundant ground for the PCM...which is a good practice. Have you, by chance tried these other things: 1). Running a redundant ground from the battery ground to ground wire at TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) sensor? 2). Disconnecting alternator power wire (or fuse), and try driving it, and see if the problem goes away? 3). Check output speed sensor/wiring? It's the sensor located on the extension housing of the trans. Note: The sensors are magnetic, and collect debris. Derbris on the internal end of the sensor can cause TCC issues. Note: The sensor, itself, can become faulty. And the wiring harness for the sensor can get damaged. To answer your question... We imagine that it's possible to bypass the PCM, and manually control the TCC operation. However, we have not done this sort of thing. Imagine that the PCM will throw a check engine light when the TCC lockup solenoid is no longer present (voltage). Arbor Press: 3-Ton Arbor Press (12 inch working height): amzn.to/2Reqmyx Note: This is larger than needed for most bushing replacement stuff. However, we also use this press for compressing clutch drum piston return springs. This working height is enough room to work on the 4L60E Input Drum. Just a personal preference.

@@SouthpawAutoworks hey you guys!! Awesome INFO I throughly appreciate your feedback on the issues!! I will definitely be looking into those fixes when I encounter the issue again. I don’t have TPS on my truck. (Tire pressure sensor) The plug in at my trans was missing wire insulation on some wires and I remember years ago using ultra black to coat the wires so they wouldn’t touch each other 😳 I will have to look into that one at the tail end. I have been lucky lately with no problems 🤞🏻 I ended up buying a 3 Ton for around $350 I appreciate you getting back on that also 🤙🏻 Take care and look forward to seeing upcoming episodes.

I should've clarified which TPS sensor. I was referring to the Throttle Position Sensor. That's a hard price to beat. You bet!

Not TH400 related, but every direct drum bushing I install in a TH350 needs to be honed because it always ends up being too tight. I don't have a press so I use a hammer and bushing driver. Maybe I need an arbor press.
@SouthpawAutoworks
@SouthpawAutoworks Год назад
It's not uncommon for us to need to "size" bushings, in order to get them to operate smoothly. We really like the arbor press. But, a hammer works just fine, too.
@workingonwonders1605
@workingonwonders1605 6 месяцев назад
Just out of curiosity, for this build, what HP and torque will this transmission be able to handle?
@jraydelatorre
@jraydelatorre Год назад
I guess it is safe to assume that bushing removal and replacement in a way applies to all transmissions, the same. especially the GM series of the 60E and 80E and TH350.
@SouthpawAutoworks
@SouthpawAutoworks Год назад
Generally speaking, yes. There's a lot that carries over from one trans to another (standard operating procedures). Like always, there's exceptions. Some bushing might need staking/sleeve retaining compound...for added insurance.
@jraydelatorre
@jraydelatorre Год назад
@@SouthpawAutoworks there’s always been a ton of questions when it comes to these bushing i’ve heard some people say to use WD-40 in some cases to lubricate before installation. I’ve also heard someone say, use a retaining compound, such as Loctite rather than staking a bushing. I may reach out to you on this subject when I start my next build. right now I’ve been collecting Cores of the 700R4 and the 4L60E and I plan to bring them all back to life soon still in the process of gathering much-needed tools.
@SouthpawAutoworks
@SouthpawAutoworks Год назад
We've done both methods, without any issues. However, I can see the value in wanting to retain as much bearing/bushing surface as possible, by using compound...versus staking. It maintains more surface area to support the journal. Good deal on the cores. Was it you that previously had some tools stolen? A vacuum test kit?

@@SouthpawAutoworks yes sir slowly but surely I am re-tooling my little shop and staying away from these guys. That still call me almost daily to please come help them, and I’m not going to do it anymore because too much risk and not enough reward given the fact that I have to furnish my own tools, yes, there is decent money in it, but it’s not worth it,if you can’t trust the ones that surround you, I did get my vacuum kit replaced and my test plates and all of my bushing drivers. And I may have mentioned on Facebook a time or two about my neighbors that both have a franchise in Matco and snap on tools. Between the two guys they brought me a new rolling snap on toolbox well, not new, but it was all donated from a gentleman that passed and left the tools behind to pay forward. Guess I was the lucky guy so I have a ton of stuff literally 2000 pounds of tools that I never had before most of the tools are not snap on or Matco they’re just regular but decent craftsman cobalt Milwaukee, all of the stuff you buy from the local stores but still decent and worth it for free. You can’t beat that. I have to leave now for a doctors so I will talk to you later. Have a good day Robert keep up the videos. We love what you do.

Not on purpose. ha On my end of things, RU-vid has a series of buttons to address incoming comments. The APPROVE button, and DELETE button are situated right next to each other. I prefer to use a desktop computer and a mouse, whenever possible. However, sometimes I use a touch screen tablet (when traveling). In that case, it’s very easy to accidentally press (touch) the DELETE button, when trying to press APPROVE. And of course there’s no way to undo an accidental delete…
