Project LBMC

Ultimate Transmission Build

Published in the September 2013 Issue September 2013

Trans Inspection

After the tear down was complete, the case and all parts were put into a hot wash tank to be cleaned. When the parts are cleaned, Fleenor and his crew begin their inspection to check for im­perfections, wear or damage. All piston bores are checked for scratches, scuffs and cracks. If any are found they hone the case to assure a leak-free seal. All oil passages are pressure checked, and mating surfaces where valve body and the transmission pump attaches are also inspected. On a performance build much stronger than stock parts are a must, especially when you are running the amount of horsepower and torque that most performance diesel trucks run with aftermarket modifica­tions like LBMC.
