- 2003 VY II S-Pack 25th Anniversary
Gday Guys,
Been working hard lately fully rebuilding my 4L60E trans for a VYII S commodore, With all the hard parts done and the transmission installed back into the car, I turned the car on and all works a treat.
Now at the minute i am just granny driving it around, as im too scared to give it a boot.
So to help with my confidence i want to know if anyone here has some type of stress tests i can run on the transmission to make sure its not going to blow up on the freeway on the way to work.
I have already tried driving it up steep hills , and used the 'engine brake' type feature by lowing the gears.
I have also instaleld a stage 2 shift kit and a transmission cooler, Some of my worry goes to the transmission cooler lines blowing off, Is there a way i can test the hoses line pressure resistance by pushing the pressure up to the limits of the trans? Will running the engine at high RPM cause a higher pressure in the lines?. I know engaging reverse raises the pressure up somewhat, is this the most pressure the trans will usually see?
Thanks Guys for your helps in advance!
