Great video as always. I was looking at your channel and thought about a video on modifying a factory th400 valve body and a how it works video on the entire valve body, just an idea. Thanks again
Hey Shawn, just wanted to thank you for doing these th400 videos, I just finished rebuilding mine and found your videos very helpful. Ps I have subscribed!
I put these in my 72 Nova LS swap, installed the transmission with the shields stalled with only minor tunnel interference. I have used them on a 70 Chevelle also.
You might be surprised. CSR makes a carbon shield that is like a second skin over the case but are expensive. Finally a good SFI case solves everything.
Hey Shawn, I bored a hole in my TCI th400 trans shield to access the case connector for the internal transbrake solenoid. I wish I had bent the connector over like you did. Probably voided my SFI cert, but not too worried about that. The tracks around here aren't really sticklers. More for my safety anyway.
Hey shawn I'm building a 6.0 liter fir street maybe a little strip I have a chance to get a 475 out of a 1990 Rv for cheap was wondering if you have a video on removing the brake and what it takes to make it fit a car or small pick up .thanks live the info
Great video. And I'm leaving a comment from now on so you can make more money, Shawn . Google makes enough money and needs to share with those that got them there, right? This isn't college sports where the guys making the money don't get paid. Good luck!
Congratulations on 1000 subscribers! I really enjoy your videos. I’ve watched all of your videos, some more than once. How about a 4L80E build as a suggestion? I’ll watch whatever you post up. Keep up the great work!
You can use either a 3/8-16 or M10-1.5. I prefer the metric so it matches the rest of the bellhousing bolts. The hole in the transmission taps nicely without drilling either way.
@@mountainsgarage do you have to helicoil it. I tried that with the one we are messing with and a 10x1.50 tap was to small but a 7/16x14 tap went right in it.
Shawn now do you get at your cooler lines if it has braid ss lines looks pretty close love all the th400 vids just wish we could get ahold of them in OZ few and far down here and when they come up they want over 800$ for a core. cheers love your channel
hey Shawn, what clutches do you us in a trans brake 400, do you sell them. i was going to use a trans shield in my car but i didn't think it would fit. a friend has a carbon fiber shield that is molded from a case in a 67 camaro and it was a fight to get it in his car. i ran a trans blanket and it was tight against the floor in some spots. but like everything else it burnt up in the fire, its a pile of burnt rubble stuck to my driveway. thank you for any information.
The aftermarket case covers both areas, as well as being stronger in general. The Ultra Bell takes care of the flexplate area but still need to cover the case. I used both of the shields in the video on my 72 Nova with an LS. Minor mods and I installed the transmission with the shields installed. It’s a relatively low buck deal, so for $200 I am covered.
Here's your problem with your video's you make nice video's but not great video's why! Its this simple, you don't stay focus on what your explaining! You bounce all over and don't stay focus on detail! Here's an example! Lets say you doing a th400 and your working on a clutch hub and installing and putting in all new steels and clutches! You explain how its done, But you don't show in detail how to take it apart or put back together! You bounce from scene to scene! You seem like a man who knows it's history well! But lack the know how on how to present your video's to TH-cam! I hope this help!
Thanks for the input, I always try to learn from feedback. I don’t enjoy watching fumble videos where the camera is rolling endlessly, I have been experimenting with some live action but want to keep it brief. I hate time lapse videos combined with bad music, nothing to be learned there. So I have been working with short segments that should generally be related, similar to talking someone through the steps on the phone, which I do a lot. It’s hard to appeal to all skill levels, and I am only just over a year in. Appreciate you!
Look at this throwback. Back when you wanted 1000 subs. Thanks for all your info buddy.
I am a fan of yours as well!
Thanks for the videos and Subscribed!
Thanks for watching!
I am really glad I found this video, really enjoyed it :-) and subscribed
Awesome, Thanks!
Thanks for the great videos!. Keep up the great work.
nice video
I just wish you were closer.
Thanks for taking time to do the videos Shawn!
It’s all great stuff and I appreciate your knowledge
Appreciate the kind words!
Great video as always. I was looking at your channel and thought about a video on modifying a factory th400 valve body and a how it works video on the entire valve body, just an idea. Thanks again
Good idea! I did some a few months ago while building a couple transmissions, but I could do it stand alone. Thanks!
I enjoy your tech video footage, keep going Shawn
Thanks! I will
Great video
Thanks for watching!

Glad to help out, hope it works nice!
@@mountainsgarage me too 😊
The problem is not all vehicles have the tunnel clearance to use that
I put these in my 72 Nova LS swap, installed the transmission with the shields stalled with only minor tunnel interference.
I have used them on a 70 Chevelle also.
I fear I'm going to have trouble fitting the shields in my 71 Corvette
You might be surprised. CSR makes a carbon shield that is like a second skin over the case but are expensive.

I love your channel, has really helped me a lot with my first th400 build currently in progress!
Thanks! Glad to help!

I wanted to drill a hole!
I can say I have learnt some from you already so def worth subscribing! Always learning and knowledge goes along way! Thanks for the videos

Hey man, great videos. I subscribed for you. Keep bangin out the content, cant get enough of the TH 400 builds!
Thanks for watching!
Congratulations on 1000 subscribers!
I really enjoy your videos. I’ve watched all of your videos, some more than once. How about a 4L80E build as a suggestion? I’ll watch whatever you post up. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Working on the 4L80E video plan.
Shawn what size tap do you use to tap the bellhousing hole for the dipstick when you are putting it behind a ls engine.
You can use either a 3/8-16 or M10-1.5. I prefer the metric so it matches the rest of the bellhousing bolts.
The hole in the transmission taps nicely without drilling either way.
@@mountainsgarage do you have to helicoil it. I tried that with the one we are messing with and a 10x1.50 tap was to small but a 7/16x14 tap went right in it.
@@MHolt3573 Yes a helicoil in either case.
Great deal on the shifter ! Only 12 more buddy
Hi , have you fitted a lock up convertor to a turbo 400
No I haven’t. I have read about it plenty, seems to be hard on parts potentially, and expensive.
Would you mind to share some of those swear words you invented? I'm always willing to learn something new!
Funny!! Thanks for the laugh!
Shawn now do you get at your cooler lines if it has braid ss lines looks pretty close love all the th400 vids just wish we could get ahold of them in OZ few and far down here and when they come up they want over 800$ for a core. cheers love your channel
The vent and the cooler lines are somewhat accessible. Have a great day!
😊
hey Shawn, what clutches do you us in a trans brake 400, do you sell them. i was going to use a trans shield in my car but i didn't think it would fit. a friend has a carbon fiber shield that is molded from a case in a 67 camaro and it was a fight to get it in his car. i ran a trans blanket and it was tight against the floor in some spots. but like everything else it burnt up in the fire, its a pile of burnt rubble stuck to my driveway.
thank you for any information.
I have been using Borg Warner lately, Raybestos, Alto, I like them all. Properly assembled the experts say any clutch works fine.
Thanks for watching.
I wont use the shield il cut off my bell and install a ultra bell or just buy a Reid case
