I see a hitch layin on the ground, did the bonnie finally loose some "unnecessary" weight? :P

the speed sensor rotor? any reason you kept that?

quick version (I'm not 100% on these, as my time in transmissions was with the RWD, but they're very similar)...

box
cooler
clutch housing (maybe the 3/4 clutch? i dunno)
closeup of the groves in the housing that the clutch packs rest in
red green takes on a 4t60
inside of the diff housing - the hole is where the speed sensor pops through
valve body spacer plate gasket
accumulator gaskets
roller clutch (only allows rotation in one direction)
some gasket
seals, seals, and more seals
band (not sure which band is which, but it'* a band)
both bands (they grab the outside of housings, stopping rotation)
more seals and a solenoid
clutch pack
apply piston
speed sensor, solenoid
another clutch pack
output shaft
input/pump shaft
box o junk
diff, chain, what looks to be the input internal gear, vacuum modulator, speed sensor rotor, and what looks like the internal reaction gear. oh, and the cooler.

but i might be wrong on a few of those - I haven't worked with trannies for almost a year now...

Thanks Bill!

Hitch is from the 93. Going on the 95.

Speed sensor rotor is still attached to the diff.

I'll get back to labels and descriptions soon, but that big drum is 2nd gear with a closeup of the wear on the teeth.

well fooey on me. looked like it from the top. is it a helically cut gear then?

<edit> never mind. with a good 300% zoom, I can see it'* a helical cut gear, not to mention it'* too thick to be a speed sensor... so is it a sun from a planetary?

Cool way beyond my car knowledge

I dont mean to insult your Bonneville....but that second gear drum looks awfully thin....I am surprised most transmissions hold up as well as they do...seeing how cheaply theyre made! How many miles were on it when it exploded? Ive got 127,000 on my 97...how long do you think ive got?

Ummm....I think it held up pretty good considering what my car puts down and how I use it. That wear on the gear was strictly because the 2nd gear clutches failed, and the shift kit fixed that problem. The new second gear should outlast the rest of the car.

if you're insulting his bonnie for that, you'd better stay away from just about every tranny on the market... most are incredibly similar to that, if not thinner...
