Instead of using the ball, I cut the end off of the pins at a length that is the same diameter as the pin. I drove that in and then steaked it the same way as you would the ball. It is exactly the right size, so it won't split the 1-2 housing or swell the valve body.
My 1-2 had broken spring as well. Use 600 grit paper to smooth out any score marks from broken springs . Lots of meat on the o ring and teflon ring. Use #45 torque to hit top and score the check ball bore
@@CCAutoWorks still confused the pin for the 4th piston in the case do I block where the pin was with a ball or no? I’ve seen your video and another one and neither one mention putting a ball in there.
With the 1-2 housing, why did you put it in there like that? I think you could've gotten away with a regular piston because that 1-2 shift is going to be super harsh.
Idk that what the Sonnex instructions say to do and the transmission shifts super soft in my opinion might be different when I turn up the line pressure
I think I've got the same kit, I realized after installing the 1-2 ball first that the kit doesn't come with enough smaller balls. Need 2 for the forward accumulator. I've since looked it up and there's a version of the chinnax kit that comes with 4 small balls and 2 bigger ones. Make sure you get that one everybody! I swear it said sonnax when I ordered tho.. I measured the small one I had left, it's 0.230 same as the pin so I think they are actually the right size
Easiest way is to just cut the stock pins and not worry with the balls I should have done it that way but didn't think about it tell it was back together
Is there a reverse accumulator or solenoid somewhere in there that can be changed as well... I'm getting a 2 to 3 second delay when I shift to reverse.
A 45 torx bit does a great job in the pin hole. 2-3 medium hits make little tabs.

That's a great idea and I had thought about doing what your saying after I had it back together because that's truly a much better way of doing it
Why put balls in the pin bores? As I recall they"re just bores for the pins, don't connect to any fluid passages.
Future reference you can cut the pin and use part of the pin to plug the housing.
I thought about that after the fact thanks for the info

Great info thanks for watching
Awesome video CHRIS. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible day. Much love and RESPECT brother
Thank you for watching brother have a great day
So does the pin hole in the case piston need a ball blocking it?
I guess fluid flows through it that's just what the instructions say to do

@@brianpresto1446one was a dead hole it was used only to hold the factory pin
@@CCAutoWorks cool Ty much appreciated!
Thanks for the show, and Tell Brother.
Thank you for watching
That’s a great video bro. I know very little about automatic transmissions. obviously you do!
👊😎✌️
I don't know much but enough to get it going
at 11:50, doesnt the spring go inside?
Not if there wasn't one in there factory
Can this be done in vehicle?
I don't see why not u just have to remove the valve body
All the transmission repairs 👌👌
Will a bad 3-4 accumulator cause the overdrive to switch in and out at 55 to 65 MPH.
Not sure sounds like maybe shift solenoid
@@CCAutoWorks I did a sonnex upgrade on my 1-2 accumulator. I replaced my A/B shift solenoids (acdelco) while I was at it.
@@DocZoidberg549 not sure did u change anything else gears tire size
@@CCAutoWorks no. It was doing the 3-4 thing before the accumulator upgrade. That is why I replaced the A/B solenoids. Thanks
@@DocZoidberg549 does it do it with the tow/haul on

Nicely done 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you not often we get complaints
Drill and tape for set screws
That work to if u lock tight it
@@CCAutoWorks that’s how I do it just use a shallow plug. so if someone else wants to put it back in factory orientation, they can.
@@alchampion340 that's great advice thank you 4l60 gets a bad wrap but I've had good luck with them
Cool stuff, very understandable explanation, thanks.
Hopefully it was the right choice to go pinless
Is there a reverse accumulator or solenoid somewhere in there that can be changed as well... I'm getting a 2 to 3 second delay when I shift to reverse.
No I don't believe so and I'm not sure what would cause that this is the first 4l60e I've ever built
@@CCAutoWorks ok thanks for responding
I am dumb with transmissions so what does it do exactly😂
It just replaces the pin style really no gains
It removes the pin as a wear point and enhances reliability.
Cool video , But why would someone want to do this ? Because hell idon't know .
Ford guy Doing Chevy Things haha Great Video
Hahaha yeah you don't have to do the things to a ford
I did all of this and I still have a bad 1-2 hard shift. Frustrating. If it’s not this I don’t know what it is.
Could be your line pressure maybe

Thanks for watching Robert
Yessir thanks for sharing
Good stuff guys!!!
Thank you brother
Getting after it!
Little late to the party, but great how-to. Automatics hurt my brain lol
They will hurt your wallet too lol
Probably need to do mine one day! Chin-x 😂
It's probably really not worth it to be honest
👍👍
I'm First 2 day
