Dive into the comprehensive world of transmission rebuilding and modification with the "How To Rebuild Or Modify Chevy Turbo 400 Th400 Transmission Manual Book".
Pretty pictures, lacking actual information. In this case, pictures are not louder than words.
Not very descriptive, and missing key information and instructions. Missing things like parts exploded views, actual procedural info. Very picture heavy. Although the pictures are color and very good, there's few actual words detailing what to do or what to watch out for during procedures. Just one example: installation of the direct drum piston is fairly difficult to get right the first time for a beginner, as three seals must be seated at once while keeping the piston straight and level as it goes in. And yet nowhere is it even described in words or pictures. Basically it just sums it up as 'install the piston'. Thanks... we can figure that out ourselves, we don't need a book to do it. What WOULD be worth spending money on is tips or tricks to install it, like use a feeler gauge to slip the outside seal in place, or something similar. And so on and so forth. The whole book is pretty much that way. It's lacking in every regard except it's got pretty pictures. Pretty much this is just standard stuff you can either figure out on your own or don't need anyhow. I would say the pictures are very good and somewhat useful, but where's the rest of the book I paid for? Like, actual words? We do still use them, right?
