ok so i have a c4 that i want to rebuild. I wanna do it my self but it would be nice to get some advice from someone who has done it before. i have a manual reverse vavle body for it also. its just goona be a back up in case i break my t5. that or if i build another car for the track.

 

There are some speacialty tools you need when doing trans work...if you dont have access to them, it would be cheaper to have it built. I can get them refreshed for $500 and I know the kit is like $130 at Dacco

 

500$ is high i know a good shop in lakeland that would do it cheeper... i was gonna rebuild mine also but i thought it would be best to take it to someone who has rebuilt 1000 of them.. and it wont cost you $500..

 

What clutches/bands are they installing? Stock or performance? Name of shop? I'll call them

 

Exactly, what clutches, what steels, what bands, what moifications are they going to make..... There are a few things that need to be done to a C4 so they will last a reasonable amount of time.....

 

^^^^ this is who would be rebuilding mine if he had the time.

 

I built mine myself bought a video and a couple tools. hat a trans shop press in a couple bushings.performed oiling modifications, put in some roller bearings, performance clutches and steels. I think alto red and koleen steels cant remember. put a better servo that I had on another trans I had(I bought several before I decided to do it myself)lying around.I had around 5 or 6 hundred in the rebuild. but now I own the tools and I did it a hundred here and a hundred there so it did not break me. I did everything in the video. and it works kick ass. I want to add a manual valve body but it works great now with a shift kit in it. I also found the original problem that I was having
