    Best fluid for 4l80e

    Lubegard is cool stuff, I stopped a bad shudder in a E4OD with it and also added just a little to a cranky noisy steering box and both stopped their anoyances.

    Is the rotation 180* before lining up the injection gear obvious for gear mark alingment? The poor engine just is not able to fire it just loads up with black smoke. Thanks for the tips I will pass them to the mechanic.

    Best fluid for 4l80e

    Has anybody got a fluid recommendation? Especially for heat reduction. On E4OD's using some 10w30 mobil one helps with heat but then that tranny gets real hot. TIA

    4L80 Fluid Change

    2 ways work for me. Unhook a tranny cooler line and extend it to a white bucket, have a friend add clean fluid while you idel out the bad using the tanny to pump itself out, just keep going until the fluid runs nice and red. The other and is my fav. is to use a vaccum pump to suck some out...
