Noof, is this the right one? My transmission is A500/42RE, just want to avoid returning wrong parts via mail, why I don't buy this local? Because the price is not right, I bought the converter locally because it was in the right range..........TP
P.S. all bushing are being replaced, once I start rebuilding something I do it right or best not do anything at all, I don't like to remove transmission a second time because I didn't want to spend a few $

It states it's for a 42RE bro, so it must be the one you need.

Check the second link, I am sure you replied when I was editing, the reason I asked is because after purchasing the system canceled order with warning of incompatible, but I will email them for those 2 purchases

While those parts arrived I am replacing the crankshaft rear seal and the freeze plug on engine block, I already did the freeze plugs when I removed the engine head but that one, right behind the flywheel, another thing I forgot to mention, the cooler lines where glued with gray silicone and instead of a clip it seems they used wire hanger to lock the lines in place, let me take photo of the damage, I am thinking to replace with flare fittings........TP

Call me paranoid or my OCD is kicking in but the reverse band in the middle section is missing a piece? I think there should be an O ring at the end of the overdrive piston housing,,,those are the cooler line fittings I mentioned were glued with Grey silicone.
I am still in the cleaning process not done yet that is why the transmission case looks like that, it needs more scrubbing time......TP

That brake band has a boo boo alright.Is the drum it goes around marked?The band looks like it may be crumbly?In any case...
As far as the o-ring is concerned, you better take a close look at a proper exploded view to make sure.The groove you're pointing at looks more like a snap ring groove to me.

They look OK, I used pick and also a penny to feel irregularities but none............

good thread, nice to see

kudos Noof, in a different thread I took issue with something you said that I thought was inaccurate (basically nitpicking), well I take it back and then some ... it's not often you see someone that has the knowledge, to take the time to give an honest evaluation and opinion

No harm...no fowl bro.There's nothing wrong with expressing an opinion, or disagreeing with one.lol.

The thrust washer kit and bearing kit from both links are on their way I also order pliers for transmissions, I have the snap ring pliers, locally I bought the reverse band, now I am in the search of dorman 800-610 fittings, a comrade from the old days lend me the tools to compress some parts of the transmission that has springs but the press for the OD unit I have to take it to my local machine shop, he said he made the tool for that job I have to bring the intermediate shaft to align everything and new snap ring since it is not reusable..........TP

[The Noof]

Good job sir!

[The Noof]

Any updates bro?

[TurboPirate]

According to track numbers all in transit, I had to buy snap ring with different thickness when I was re-checking everything I noticed that snap ring bended when I removed it, I believe is called the intermediate shaft snap ring, I also order the spacer of the Overdrive piston, I checked the "clearness"< I don't think that is the proper word....between the piston spacer with bearing with the ATSG book and it was way off......allow me to upload photos of what I am saying

Some of the snap rings are selective in order to adjust & control end play.

The Snap Ring bended completely to FUBAR.
I also can't find Dorman 800-610 Screenshot_20230127-185713_Chrome.jpg
I took the OD unit to hydraulic press on Monday I will get it back for inspection and cleaning...........

I think the wrong size was installed because it bended.....I order the set that has different thickness also like in photo the shim with different thickness for OD unit
