How To Make An 18 Automatic Into A 23 Automatique LSE

That is a bullet proof front end!!

Thanks Geno and GT, "Bullet proof front end" for sure. I hope no one tries to shoot it, LOL. Now it's time to move onto the hopefully bullet proof back end, for just a bit of an update.

82.) Right-hand Transaxle Case
83.) R.H. Front Needle Bearing {1532} Installed, outside, inside
84.) R.H. rear Needle Bearing {1532} Installed, outside, inside
85.) Oil Filter Fitting, Installed
86.) Dowel Pin, Installed
87. - 88.) Ditto 82 - 83 for Left-hand
89.) Ditto 84 but uses {8049}
90.) Ditto 86 for Left-hand

Wow, didn't know you were rebuilding the rear as well.

:bow1 :surprised

Yes, the only way to know what's in them is to open them up, besides I am converting to the larger bolts bull gear, end caps, and locknuts, not to mention the longer axles for duals. Does anyone know what the purpose of the allen set screw is, that is near the needle bearing in the lower part of the first pic, and just right of the right needle bearing in the second pic?

Does anything sit there inside when it's assembled? If not it's probably just a plugged extra hole.

This area gets covered by a gasket, and the gasket gets covered by the motor.
