4R100 rebuild parts list
Hey all. As some of you read in a previous thread my transmission went on vacation. Actually it sounds like the clutches in 1st & 2nd are burnt up. I can't afford for a shop to rebuild it ($3,800 + torque converter) so I'm rebuilding it myself. While I'm in there I want to fix whatever weak points I can. I've put together a parts list for my rebuild. Any thoughts, comments or cuss words are greatly appreciated.
-ATSG manual
-Master rebuild/overhaul kit from OPT (borge warner clutches) ORE-E4OD-RB $256
-Cryo'd intermediate shaft from John Wood $55 w/core
-Cryo'd stock input shaft from John Wood $55 w/core
-E4OD fully splined foreward drum (stock not billet)
-John Wood valve body (maybe) $245
-Tugger shift kit from Transgo
-Roadrunner tripple disc billet torque converter $435+25 shipping
-and of course a new auxilery cooler & radiator to replace the contaminated oil to water cooler
Here's a link for the master rebuild kit if anyone is interested

And here's another link to the Roadrunner TC. Scroll to the bottom, E40d/4r100 tripple clutch. Anyone with experience on this converter please chime in good or bad.

Obviously there are many TC's on the market, the Roadrunner fits my budget and driving style which is daily driver & occasional towing 10,000 lbs or less. The Cryo'd parts and E4OD are what I have learned are a few of the weak points in the 4R100. I'm an average joe mechanic with a work history of helicopter turbine engine rebuilding and refinery maintenance, I feel I'm up to the task but a little nervous as this is my first transmission rebuild. If I missed anything please chime in.

Thanks for the video link Dan. I glanced at it just now, I'll be sure to watch it in great detail.
And thanks for the heads up on the slow shipping for OPT. I'm not set on them but so far they have the easiest web sight for me. I'm looking for a master rebuild kit with Borg Warner & Raybestos (spelling) clutches & pressure plates. I've found a few other sights with the kit I'm looking for, I'll compare prices and shipping speeds. Fortunately a have a spare hoopty to get me to work so I'm in no rush and plan to take my sweet time on this build. This gives me enough time to read through an ATSG manual several times before I start.

Now about Roadrunner TC's. I spoke to a rep from RR yesterday and of course he recommended their TC's. The most I'll be towing is my friends toy hauler 10klb loaded maybe once a year to Glamis. Mostly daily driving and occasionally towing a 5klb boat or flat bed with quads, no big loads.
I've done a web search on RR TC's and the feedback so far is everyone who owns one is happy. Both gasser's & diesel's, one of which has a F250 7.3. One man raved about the customer service at RR. This man somehow crushed the TC into the trans pump destroying both. RR overnited a brand new TC for free (shipping on the buyer) and only requested the damaged TC in return. That's pretty cool. Still, I'm a bit concerned on the price at $400, supposedly they are built in house which drives down the price. They offer a 2 year warranty as well so that is a plus and worth a try. I guess I'm just thinking out loud right now so I apologize for running on. Bottom line is my budget is keeping me from buying a bigger name.

I sent John Wood an email a few days ago requesting a quote for one of his tow master torque converters but have not heard back from him. I guess I'll call him. I learned a lot about the weak points in the 4R100 from a few write ups about J. Wood, he seems to know his stuff.
Thank you for the advice Pop, I'll PM your guy this evening.

I have responded to numerous inquiries about the 4R100 and have provided my phone number, once contact was made by PM, if further assistance was needed. I am always happy to help when I can.
