TRNW TECH TIP
OF THE MONTH!
45RFE Homemade pressure testing tool
How to make a pressure testing tool for a 45RFE / 545RFE / 68RFE!
RFE Homemade Tool (click to enlarge)

RFE Pressure Testing Made Easy!
Here is a photo of the PSI testing tool we made for the RFE units. It is just a 1/8 brass T and a brass nipple. You have to ream out the inside of the T for the solenoid and then cut a groove for an O ring on the nipple.

We also cut a slot in the end of the nipple so the oil can run around the end of the threads as it bottoms out in the case. Then to hold it in we just welded some bolts together. Its ugly but it works fine. Northland tools makes a pretty one. - more

INDUSTRY NEWS!

    new feature!INTERACTIVE TECH TIPS & TECH DATA

    TRNW has just introduced a new feature to their website which allows technicians to add rebuilder tips, picture tips, and technical data for every transmission model. Members can vote on each rebuilder tip or picture tip with the results determining the placement of the tip. There is also an option for adding a comment to each rebuilder tip, and error control is built into the whole package allowing members to delete any tip that they created.

    Technical Data such as application charts, checkball locations, torque specifications, etc can now be added to the website by the members, and rebuilder "cheat sheets" can be printed out for technicians to take to the bench. A cheat sheet can be created, edited, and saved by each member by selecting from the list of current rebuilder tips, picture tips, and technical data for the desired transmission. The output is formatted nicely for printing.
