My transtar master kit did not come with a new modulator or 2nd gear servo piston- I definately needed them both. Both parts are pretty cheap. Why did you order all the shim kits? I can see getting a thrust washer kit, a few endplay selectives and some selective snaprings for the foreward clutch ( mine was at max clearance with frictions and steels and the original snap ring), but that's about it.

There are no bearings in a stock c6, only bushings and thrustwashers. The bushings are all press fit- you only need to replace those that are worn out-I replaced any that had worn throught the copper colored layer. Typically you'll only have to do the t/c bushing and the tailshaft bushing if its a 2wd (no tailshaft bushings on 4x4s). the c6 is pretty user friendly to rebuild- no special seal installers or centering tools needed. just a good clutch spring compressor. Air check each clutch pack after you assemble it and check the clearance before you put it back in the case, and inspect each tooth on the planetary, sun and ring gears. Recheck endplay after you've replaced the thrust washers. Visually inspect your pump gears- if they're not scored on the sides or broken/chipped you should be ok. Is the tranny working right now? Why are you rebuilding it? If it wasn't making noise from the pump, I don't see any reason to replace the gears.

well today I found out today im an idiot. I started to remove everything in the way of the transmission and found that the cooler lines have some pinholes and spraying up on to the transmission. I am still gonna rebuild the transmission though, I have the parts and I have the time so I am gonna go for it. Any info anyone has would be great, and thankyou to everyone that has responded already.
