Putting in a transmission

So, I took my beast mudding up in the Dells the other weekend. On the way back, I'm on the freeway and I notice my trucks running at a really high RPM. I wasn't going to stop because my luck, it wouldn't start again and i'd be stuck there, so i just kept on my marry way. Once i got back into town, it was shifting really hard, by then i knew my tranny was smoked because i've been waiting for it to go for a while. So i decided i was going to go from my 700r4 tranny to a th400 out of a 1 ton.

Tools you'll need:

• 1/2 Breaker bar w/ sockets
• Wrenches
• Extensions
• A jack w/ jack stands
• Pry bar
• A small flat-head screw driver
• Standard line wrenches
• Hammer

Parts you'll need:

• A torque converter (if the new tranny didn't come with one)
• A tranny
• New cooler lines (if yours are really rusty)

Disassembly:

• Jack up the front end as high as you can go and put it on jack stands, then remove the jack
• If you have a 2 piece drive shaft, remove the bracket in the middle and the drive shaft should just slide apart then pull it out of the tranny
• Disconect the cooler lines
• Disconnect the shift links and the throttle cable
• Put a jack under the tranny and just make it snug, don't jack it up
• Remove the tranny mount
• Start loosening the bolts from the bell housing
• Once the bolts are loose, jack the jack up a little so u can take them out
• Once all the bolts are out, slide the jack with the tranny on it backwards a little bitto make sure its completely disconnected
• Take a flashlight and make sure everything is disconnected, then lower the tranny and put it off to the side

Assembly:

• Attach the new torque converter to the new tranny
• Put the tranny on the jack and slide it into position under the truck
• Jack it up and slide it into the motor
• Put the cooler lines on
• Start threading in the bell housing bolts, DON'T CROSSTHREAD THEM
• Once there all started, tighten them all down really tight
• Re-connect all of the shift links and throttle cables
• Put the drive shaft in the tranny
• If the drive shaft doesn't go in all the way, you might have to push the truck a little bit so the shaft turns and the splines line up
• Bolt the bracket back on in the middle
• Make sure everythings tight
• Take her for a spin
