Came out of a 96 van, comes with converter and no controller. Good deal?


Sorry if this is a dumb question :) I was thinking of buying this and doing the swap sometime this fall and selling my 700R4 for a few bucks before it breaks!

convertor is big paperweight worth nothing

$600 is on high end for core price. It has to come apart anyways for our trucks, so working or not makes really no difference.

While it's apart, you need to put in HiEnergy BW clutches. Clean everything up and check all the hard parts. Make sure the thrust washers are OK. OHM all the electronics and test the pressure switch manifold. Make sure it has a 34 element sprag. I've taken apart some where GM saved a few pennies and put in a 16 element piece. Take apart the VB and clean it out and check the AFL for wear. I'd at least do a 4L80E Jr kit. It's pretty cheap and you'll feel more comfortable afterwards.

So should I offer him $500 for it, get a shop to do the Jr kit, order the install kit for $1200+/- US, order a controller, and swap in the winter? :D

All other 4l80e's I've seen for sale are well, WELL over $1000 US.... this is 600 cnd...

$600 CAD would be $540 USD
$500 CAD would be $450 USD

Not horrible prices, but I'd bargain for $400-500 (CAD).

I can sell you everything you need to build it if you like. I just need to know what year it is. Better yet, I'll need to know if the lube lines are close together or spread apart(1 toward the engine, 1 toward the rear).
