When you say you build Rat Rods, it’s a whole complete class of building. You’ve touched every nut, bolt, and piece on that Rat Rod not to mention as built engineering and building the front suspension,rear suspension, steering,drive train, radiator and numerous other things that I forgot. Good job, Bob. Guess that’s why you are the Dean of Ratrodology. Thanks for the complimentary class😮

Bob, that's a pretty good job done there and should last a good long while.....just one thing on the valve body with that mod. You need to remove that rubber disc from the valve body. Even if you don't modify the valve body remove it. It will get you going with a snappy shift if you do!!!!! And slow shift overlap if you don't!!!!!!!!!.......Nice video ..................

I'm about to dive head first into my 4R70W transmission thats in my mustang. I've never been past the filter or torque converter in a transmission but it's a heck of a lot cheaper than replacing it. Long gone are the days of $75 used transmissions at the local bone yard. Even the ones that are around are asking $500-$700. And i sure ain't about to take the chance of getting one and installing it only to learn that it's no good. . Im just gonna yank it out, throw it up on my bench and go for it. And im terrified 😏 But i gotta go for it.

Sooo, that little piston and spring that the tab on the filter holds in?? What happens if that is left out? I was told by my transmission builder that it's NOT needed, and somehow I don't believe that. It was missing from my transmission when it came back from the shop. I was removing the filter to install an extension for a deeper pan, and it was not above the filter when I pulled it off? What happens if it is not in there? I am getting 2000 rpm's to start the car moving, and it shifts once between 0 and 50 mph, under normal acceleration. There's a lot of websites and pages that say DO NOT forget, but what happens if it is not there? Thankfully I have a spare, and I am installing it in a little while. Hopefully my transmission is still okay.

Your valvebody mods are sort of close. You need to understand what you are modifying. Was going ok until you refitted the rubber puck. For any shift improvement. In conjunction with reversing the accumulator valve spring the rubbe4 puck shoul$ be left out to open that circuit up for improvement to 2nd gear apply.
