4T65 RACING TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS

This handbook section illustrates parts and modifications that are used to transform a 4T65-E automatic transmission for Off-Highway drag racing. Starting with the heavy duty or supercharged application of the production transmission, the gearbox is modified into a three speed transmission with driver shift control utilizing an aftermarket performance torque converter. The changes have proven to be reliable behind a 600 hp engine and track proven behind a 1000+ hp ECOTEC engine.
The information contained in this section of the handbook has been provided by GM Powertrain in conjunction with GM Racing. The photographs shown are from a transmission that is configured for Sport Compact Drag Racing. This handbook attempts to illustrate the changes; however, it is not totally inclusive of all changes needed for a 1000+ hp application.
Extensive modifications have been developed by GM Racing/Hydra-Matic to keep this transaxle consistantly performing at high horsepower levels.

 GM SPORT COMPACT Performance Build Book

Fig. 191
The transmission brake is mounted externally on top of the transmission case and is operated with an on-off switch by the driver. A transmission brake may not be required on applications below 800 hp. (Fig. 191)

Fig. 193
The major sub-assemblies of the transbrake are shown above. The check ball assembly is not shown. (Fig. 193)

Fig. 192
The transbrake assembly is mounted externally above the reverse band servo cover and requires a 12 volt current to activate it. (Fig. 192)

Fig. 194
The two fittings shown in the case are used for the transbrake system. The fitting in the lower left of the view is where low-1st gear oil is routed from the transbrake to apply the reverse band. When the transbrake is released, the oil is exhausted through the fitting shown in the upper right corner of the picture. (Fig. 194)

4T65E SHIFT ALGORITHM
The 4T65E transmission is shifted with two shift solenoids. The ground sides of the solenoids are pin A and pin B in the pass through connector. Pin E requires switched 12V. The shift algorithm of the 4T65E is:

SHIFT ALGORITHM OF THE 4T65E

Solenoid A Solenoid B

1st gear

on

on

2nd gear

off

on

3rd gear

off

off

4th gear

on

off

An easy and cheap way to shift the 4T65E is with two toggle switches. The toggle switches need to switch ground to pins A and B in the pass through connectors. To operate the transmission turn both switches on. This will put the transmission in 1st gear. To shift into 2nd gear shut off the switch to solenoid A off. To shift into 3rd gear shut off the switch to solenoid B. For 4th gear turn the switch for solenoid A back on.

SHIFT CONTROLLERS

TCI and CompuShift offer automatic shift controllers that will operate the 4T65E Transmission. These are excellent choices for street strip applications.
An inexpensive alternative for drag racing and occasional street use is the MSD Programmable shift controller part number 7559. (Fig. 234) This controller was developed to shift a Lenco type transmission. With a little ingenuity it can easily be adapted for use on the 4T65E transmission.
Two relays are needed to convert the system for this application. The MSD controller needs two inputs a: Launch / Reset and Shift Override. The Launch / Reset button resets the controller to first gear both in electrical outputs and in the shift sequence. The Shift Override button manually up-shifts the controller. In first gear the controller

does not output a signal. When the 1-2 shift is made it turns on a 12v signal. When the 2-3 shift is made another 12V signal is turned on. Since the solenoid needs a ground to activate, relays are needed. Ground should be connected to the input of two relays. The Normally Closed output of the 1st relay should be connected to pin A on the transmission pass through connector. The normally closed output of the 2nd relay should be connected to pin B of the transmission pass through connector. One side of the coil of each relay should be connected to ground. The 1st shift output from the transmission controller should be connected to the other side of the coil of the 1st relay. The 2nd shift output from the transmission controller should be connected to the other side of the coil on the 2nd relay. The normally open side of the relay can be used for gear indicator lights. Two lights can be connected to power and the other side of the lights connected to the normally open side of the first and second relays.
When the transmission is in 1st both lights will be off, in second the 1st light will turn on and in 3rd the second light will come on.
· MSD Programmable Shift Controller PN 7559 (Fig. 234)
TRANSMISSION FLUID INFORMATION
Fluid Type: GM Dexron III (part number 9985912) or Allison Transmission Fluid: TranSyndTM. TransSyndTM is a fully synthetic automatic transmission fluid that is used in the 4T65 race transmissions for Sport Compact Drag Racing.
Fluid Quantity: Fluid fill quantity will depend on the oil pan configuration and whether the torque converter is dry. Past experience has shown that about twelve quarts are added to the 4T65 transmission with a dry torque converter. Always check the fluid level at operating temperature and while the engine is idling. Do not overfill - keep the level below the spinning components of the transmission to reduce foaming of the fluid. Track experience has found that checking the oil level at engine idle and in first gear with brakes applied produces a consistent readable oil level indication on the dip stick.
