I think you should be ok just replacing the ones that are worn. I'd use the dial indicator to check your endplay. A caliper is a bit too crude and not precise enough for what you're measuring.
Gonna freight DS a keg and nothing for me? Come on, freight is cheaper from your house to mine anyhow.

When I was at Chuck's and he air tested the input/3rd clutch we actually had to stretch out the Teflon seals for it to seal. After I put the bushing in last night I had to resize the rings to make them fit tighter. I'm really glad I ended up replacing the bushing. Everything just seems to fit so much better with less play.
Nick.....I figure you live close enough to where I'll load up all the parts I need to float test, hook up the boat, load up a couple coolers and head north. We'll go fishing, and while we're at it, you can revisit memory lane by helping me float test all my old tranny parts.

You guys trying to turn me into a raging alcoholic?...lol.
You should read the procedure for checking the endplay. The problem is is that the transmission has to be on end up in the air, so gravity is pulling the gear train down. Then you need a few special tool including the dial caliper. If you find it is out of specifications, there are selective washers you can buy to get it back into specs. Chuck probably knows more about it.
Input clutch end play check:
1. Adjust the collar on tool J 33381-A to the 4T65-E CLUTCH & DRUM setting.
2. Install J 33381 -A into the input clutch housing assembly (632).
3. Tighten the threaded rod of J 33381-A until the rod is finger tight.
4. Use J 33381-A in order to lift the input clutch housing assembly (632). The sprag clutch assemblies will also be attached.
5. Install the assembly (632) into the case. Be sure that the assembly is down all the way.
6. Remove J 33381-A from the assembly.
Important: Install bolts and tighten securely to prevent tool deflection during end play measurement.
7. Install J26958, J26958-10A, and J43425 onto the case extension (6).
8. Using two bolts, install J 33386-A onto the case.
9. Tighten the bolts in order to securely hold J 33386-A.
10. Tighten J 26958 finger tight in order to eliminate differential carrier end play.
11. Insert the thrust washer (630) from the input clutch housing into J 33386-A as indicated. If the thrush washer will not fit into J 33386-A, select the next size smaller thrust washer and recheck.
12. Use a feeler gauge in order to measure the clearance between J 33386-A and the thrust washer (630).
^ If the clearance is less than 0.0521 mm (0.006 inch), use the current size thrust washer.
^ If the clearance is 0.0521 mm (0.006 inch) or more, select the next size larger thrust washer and recheck.
13. Remove J 33386-A.
14. Adjust the collar on tool J 33381-A to the 4T65-E CLUTCH & DRUM setting. Make sure that the threaded rod is fully loosened.
15. Install J 33381-A into the input clutch housing (632).
16. Tighten the threaded rod of J 33381-A until the rod is finger tight.
17. Use J 33381-A in order to lift the input clutch housing assembly (632). The sprag clutch assemblies will also be attached.
18. Remove the assembly (632) from the case.
19. Position the transmission so that the oil pan is facing down.
20. Remove J26958, J26958-10A, and J43425.
Differential end play check:
1. Make sure that the differential carrier case thrust washer (714) and the thrust bearing (715) are still on the differential final drive carrier assembly (700).
2. Install the case extension seal (8) onto the case extension (6).
3. Install the case extension assembly (6) onto the transmission (3).
4. Install only two of the four case extension bolts (5).
^ Do not torque the bolts. Tighten them only until the case extension is fully seated.
5. Position the transmission so that the case extension is facing upward.
6. Install J 25025- 1, J 26958- 10A and J 800 1.
7. Set the dial indicator to zero.
Notice: Use a piece of wood or rubber while prying with J 28585 or a large screwdriver, to prevent damage to VSS bore.
8. Use J 28585 or a large screwdriver in order to lift the differential/final drive carrier assembly. Pry up on the vehicle speed sensor reluctor wheel through the vehicle speed sensor hole in the case extension.
9. Note the dial indicator reading before changing the differential carrier/case thrust washer (714):
^ If the dial indicator reading is less than 0.12 mm (0.005 inch), install the next smaller size thrust washer, then recheck.
^ If the dial indicator reading is greater than 0.62 mm (0.025 inch), install the next larger size thrust washer, then recheck.
^ If the dial indicator reading is 0.12 - 0.62 mm (0.005 - 0.025 inch), the thrust washer is correct.
10. Remove J 8001 and J 25025- 1.
11. Install the case extension bolts (5).
^ Tighten the case extension bolts to 36 Nm (26 ft. lbs.).

If you find you are out of spec, use a micrometer to measure the thickness of your selectable washer so you know which one to get.
Suppose I could help you float test a piece or too. Sold!

Raging Alcoholic?...Nah....with the direction our country has been heading we all need to drink a little more!
Thanks for the list of checks DS. Always appreciated!
Nick...You better let word get out that you are addicted to float testing. The tree huggers will end up rioting until the law makes you scuba dive to retrieve all of the tons of scrap you tossed into the Yukon and whatever other lake or river you were close to. Better enjoy float testing while you can. I bet we're not too far away from everything, such as engine and tools, being made out of plastic. They just keep upgrading to cheaper and cheaper materials. Since they won't sink we'll have to go to a dynamite test or something similar. I don't know, a case of beer, some explosives, and our junk parts might make for a good ole" time! I'll have to show you a video of an old clothes dryer and our "Sparkler Bomb 500" sometime. Who knew sparklers wrapped in electrical tape could cause such a boom. It blew sheet metal over hundred feet in the air. Bad thing was my buddy thought it was lit and we were a little too close when it went off. Luckily it blew up instead of out. Beer and explosives don't really mix. I'll try and post it somewhere on the net. Well worth watching! Man I was an idiot in my younger days. I'm glad I grew out of that!
Diff end play was .25mm so we are good there.
I bought the wrong Kent More tool off of ebay to check transaxle end play. The one I bought checks torque converter end play. Is there any other way to make the checks without the other Kent Moore tool? When I was at Chucks he checked the clearance of the clutch plates in the input/3rd clutch. Do you think that check is sufficient or should I get the correct tool?
I've done everything, including checks, by the book. I don't want to take any shortcuts at this point unless you think I'll be okay.

Checking the clutch pack clearances is different that checking end play. The problem with the end play check is loading the gear train. I don't know of any other ways to load it without the special tools. There might be ways though. Maybe Chuck or Brad may have the tools to check it or know some short cuts. Would probably cheaper to have someone with the tools check it than buying all those special tools you may use only once.
Just hate for you to get it all together and in the vehicle and find out it clunks or ends up burning up and shifting funny.

I hear ya. I rarely take any shortcuts and not going to here. I asked Chuck if he had any of the special tools the other day and he said no. I've got a feeling he just eyeballs stuff. I'm not sure about Brad but will check with him. If not, I'm pretty sure that big tranny shop in Peoria, where I got the bushings, would check it for me. They might charge me an hours labor, but like you said, $80 or so will be a lot cheaper than buying the tools. I'm not going to open my tranny shop until next year so don't wanna spend the money now...

Is this as far down as the sprag goes? The top of the gear on the sprag is flush with the 3rd clutch backing plate. The sprag's inner race is just a little bit higher than the backing plate.

I'm not sure on that question. Usually, i'd put the sprag onto the sun gear along with the reverse drum. Then install the input clutch housing with the second clutch on it. Usually you have to wiggle it around until it seats fully. It's really a pain if the transmission is on its side with the 2nd band bouncing around. If it doesn't fit correctly, the driven support won't sit below the case port walls (whatever they are called).
If you pull the sprag out and all the clutch splines are lined up, it probably went all the way in. I am not sure on that one, but can you get the sprag reversed? I know on the 4T60 the sprag could be flipped around and installed causing no drive or reverse. I did that on my first rebuild.

I believe it's in all the way. I did what you said last night, about pulling it out and making sure the plates are lined up, and they were. I've also twisted and turned the sprag a hundred more times. It just felt like it had some slop from side to side so that's why I questioned it. I did an air test with the sprag in and it then seemed to feel like you would think it would feel.
I don't believe this sprag can be turned upside down as the bottom half of the sprag is a smaller gear than the top. If you try and install it backwards it would only go into the input clutch plates and wouldn't fit into the 3rd clutch plates. The inside diameter of the 3rd clutch plates is smaller. Know what I mean?
I'm picking up my timing chain and also my torque converter tomorrow (Tuesday). I had to wait a day on the chain because I couldn't find it in stock anywhere. The torque converter was going to be a 5 day wait but I called that local tranny shop that I got the bushings from. He was able to order me one and get it next day. The owner of this tranny shop is a heck of a nice guy. I called two other local shops to see if they would sell me parts and they wouldn't. I can kind of see why. But, the owner at the tranny shop was eager to help me out. I'll be recommending his place to everyone I know. Anyplace that will offer great service adn advice when they are hardly making a dime will do amazing service when they're working on the actual vehicle. At least that's the way I see it.

Is it worth replacing the camshaft position sensor while the tranny is out? Looks like I can get one for about $40. How hard would it be to replace if it ever needed it with the tranny in?

I almost have everything back together. I'm in the process of installing the pump. It says to torque the bolts starting from the top center in a spiral direction. It then says to spin the shaft from the front to make sure it still turns freely. Well, it doesn't. I've tried torqueing the bolts every which way possible and still no luck. Once I torque one or two, and move to the opposite side, the shaft no longer turns. I did have to replace the pump due to the original one being broken but I matched up part numbers to make sure I got the right one. Any ideas? Maybe I'll throw the old one back on just to see if it still turns. I wonder if the pump I purchased had a broken part and the seller just swapped parts out of other pumps in order to make one good one. The pump does have selective rotors, vanes, and slide components.

That is strange. Maybe the pump housing or where it mounts on the control valve body is warped? I remember reading about several pump and control valve body changes throughout the years. Is it pushing the shaft down and binding it? Are the pump shaft the same as the old one? Compare the old pump housing to the new one.
Check this out:
File In Section: 07 - Transmission/Transaxle
Bulletin No.: 02-07-30-046
Date: November, 2002
INFORMATION
Subject:
Newly Designed Transaxle Valve Body and Oil Pump Service Information
Models:
2002-2003 Buick Century, LeSabre, Park Avenue, Regal, Rendezvous
2002-2003 Chevrolet Impala, Monte Carlo, Venture

During the months of June and July of 2002, 2002 and 2003 model year 4T65E transaxles were produced with two different valve body and pump assemblies. When servicing these transaxles, the design of the valve body determines which pump assembly must be installed.
A physical inspection of the ID Tag is necessary to get the proper update level before ordering components for these transaxles.

I installed the old pump and the same thing happened. Although, I was able to get more bolts torqued down before the shaft stopped turning freely. I took the valve body back off so I could check out the shaft. I measured them with a caliper and they are all the same.
Both pumps have the same casting number. If they changed designs wouldn't they change the casting number? Although, if the old one is doing the same thing it must be the way I'm torqueing them. They're suppose to be torqued to 106 inch pounds. I think I'll start with a low torque setting and work my way up. Hopefully that will do it. I wouldn't think it would be such a problem though.
I'll let you know. Thanks DS.

Make sure that the valve body isn't warped and distorting the pump housing when you tighten it down.
Here are some oil pump specs:

I took a straight edge to the valve body and it's not warped at all. The internals in the new pump I got are a little different. But, from what I understand, pump to tranny can be different. The only thing that can't be different are the internal parts to the pump body. You can't take parts from one pump body and install in another pump body. Like I mentioned, I was thinking maybe whoever sold me the pump swapped out some parts but the old pump is doing the same thing.
I'm puzzled on this one. I don't see anything that could be causing this. I've got to be missing something though.
I think your due for a road trip DS. Start heading north right away. The beer has been on ice for 6 hours. Nick probably heard the faint sound of ice and beer rattling around in the cooler, went into zombie mode, and is probably already on his way.
This shows how the internals need to match the pump body. It doesn't seem to matter which pump goes to the tranny though.

I gave Chuck a call. He said he runs into this quite a bit. What he told me to do is take the pump apart and buff it with a scotch brite pad until I get the clearance where it needs to be. He said it doesn't take much for it to catch. I'll let you know the results one I'm finished.

Beer only rattles in the cooler if someone is shaking up my beer. Don't be that guy, you don't live that far away from me. Its opening weekend of deer season in WI but my work schedule of 60 hours a week keeps me from enjoying the hunt for the third year in a row. On the upside I have a ton of tame little city deer that stare at me when I have a smoke on my porch and a friend owns a crossbow that I will be borrowing soon so my chest freezer is supplied with the proper protein sources.
Chuck has been pretty handy to you and I'd recommend a bottle of Glenlivet should he be a scotch man to show the proper gratitude.
Look on the bright side, your repairs are doing much better than your Bears are. HaHa

Me shake your beer up....never. You know, you could just dig a big pit in your front yard and put some branches over it. I'm sure your girlfriend has always wanted a pet deer. Plus, when your protein source runs low later on in the year you'll be able to restock it even if deer season is over.
I've been thinking of something I could do for Chuck for all of the help. He doesn't drink. I know this because the day before the election he explained to me why Obama is the antichrist. He's very religious. Maybe some sort of new tool or a gift card to somewhere? He probably has every tool he needs but then again, you can never have too many tools even if they're doubles.
Still a no go on the pump. I took the cover off and clamped down the rotor to simulate the cover being on. I took a straightedge and it appears that the rotor and vanes have clearance below the top cover. I put the pump on the valve body without the cover and it doesn't seem like the sleeve on the valve body is rubbing on the rotor. I took a straightedge to the valve body and it's not warped. I also checked the pump body and it seems to be perfectly flat too. The only thing I can think off is that the vanes are getting jammed on the slide when the shaft turns. When I barely tighten the last bolt it instantly jams. Maybe the pump shaft is warped? I'm going to pull the valve body back off so I can remove the shaft and take a good look at it.
I really don't think it's the shaft though. This one has me stumped. I don't see anything that could be causing the problem.

Hmmm? A gift for now web famous "Chuck" when this all works out knowing he doesn't drink. How about making a clock out of some of your spare parts or nasty hard to find but an engine part - Chrome coffee cup,
Here's a home made clock sample,
No joke, he has been quite the resource for stuff for this job for you - T

I clock out of spare parts is a great idea! The 2nd clutch drum could make a good face and the input housing could be the base. I could weld the 2nd clutch to the top of the input shaft. I also have the springs from the input/3rd clutch spring assemblies. Maybe I can use springs as the clock hands. Or, I could use the 4th clutch hub and shaft as a base and use the 3rd clutch piston as the face. It wouldn't be as big and heavy then. I'm gonna need a new project one I'm done with the van.
Yep, I'm going to definitely do something for him. I'm getting ready to call him again because I'm almost positive the used pump shaft I ordered is warped. Both the old pump and the new used pump I ordered are getting hung up in the same location. I put the pump on, left the cover off, put some washers on the bolts so I could see what was going on inside. I can see where it's getting hung up. There's one spot where the vanes get too tight and push to hard against the slide. At first I thought maybe the bushing for the shaft could be bad but that would give me more slack and it shouldn't get hung up, correct? The pump vanes are so tight to the slide that even a very slight warp in the shaft, one that wouldn't even be noticeable, could cause a vane to push against the slide. I'm going to give a shaft a try and go from there. I don't see anything else it could be.

I think you're on the right track. If you can get ahold of a precision straightedge hold it again the shaft and see if you can get a feeler gauge under it anywhere. Or lay it into a piece of angle iron and look very closely. Thats not too precise but if bent badly enough you could see it.

That is a strange one there. Hopefully the shaft is the culprit. Your pretty much at the last piece of the puzzle. That would be cool to have a transmission clock. I'm sure Chuck would appreciate that. Heck you could probably make them and sell them...LOL I know plenty of gear heads that like that kind of stuff.

I went to Chuck's this morning and took the whole transmission with me. I didn't want to get a different pump, drive 2 miles back home, and find out it didn't work. I bolted on a different pump, torqued it down, and the shaft turned just fine. I think what happened with that used pump is that whoever sold it pieced together a couple different bad pumps to make one good one. I should call the place that sold me the pump and thank them for throwing one hell of a curveball to a first time tranny rebuilder. Oh well, that's how you learn the do's and don'ts I suppose.
Well, We're going to be heading to my wife's family's house in Kentucky Wednesday morning. I was hoping to have the van race ready before we left but it's probably not going to happen now. I have some other stuff to take care of tomorrow. I still have to install the oil pan, rear main seal and get the power steering pump back on. I'll probably finish that up today and get back at the rest Monday.
I talked to Nick earlier. He wanted me to pass the message that he'll be offline for a week or so. Something about a couple 12 packs, half a bottle of wine, getting pissed off at the computer, the mouse flying across the room and cracking the screen on his girlfriend's flat screen. I think 3 things broke. His computer, the tv, and his nuts after his girlfriend mule kicked him between the legs for breaking her tv.
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

Re: 2002 Venture 3.4 Front Wheel Drive Tranny Removal

The tranny is finished! I just hope it works as it should. I feel confident that it will be fine but who knows. I might have to fake being sick so I can get out of going to the in-laws house this weekend. I'm anxious to get it back it. I'm gonna be a nervous wreck when I turn the key and go to put it in gear! Tearing back into the tranny doesn't worry me. It's just getting the darn thing back out. It wasn't all that bad getting it out. I just have a feeling getting it back in might be a pain in the butt. If anyone has any helpful tips I'd appreciate it.
Now I need to find me a core 4l60e for either a 2005 Envoy or a 2003 Sierra. At least I assume that's what the Sierra has. I had fun and I'm ready to start another one. The trannies in the Envoy and Truck are fine but at least I'd have a spare on hand. The truck does have that hard shift into second I need to figure out though. If I accelerate a little fast it doesn't have the hard shift into second but has a slight shudder. If going slow it has kind of a long hard shift. From the sounds of it I can take care of that with a shift kit though. Seems to be a common problem.
I'll try and post a "final report" on my findings during the rebuild sometime in the near future. Maybe posting some of the snags I ran into can help someone else down the road. I want to make sure it works as it should before I post anything that might be helpful.
Thanks for sticking with me throughout the whole rebuild. I couldn't have done it without you guys.
