Rebuilding a Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 Transmission,
By Ronald R. Luman (Columbia, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Work with and Modify the Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 Transmission (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
This book is marvelous. With absolutely no prior experience with automatic transmissions, I have successfully used this book and Mr. Sessions' previous book on the Turbo Hydra-Matic 350 to rebuild two transmissions. For the novice, all you need is a Master Rebuild Kit and about two weeks of patience, and you can save over $1000 by doing the rebuild yourself. The book has a good discussion on theory, but you can skip right to the "how-to" sections and follow the text/pictures to a successful end.

Finally, Transmission repair made easy,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Work with and Modify the Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 Transmission (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
I'm an accomplished mechanic and found the manual to be very comprehensive. I've not yet done the work, but have read the manual and appreciate the author having taken the mystery out of automatic transmissions. He's cost-conscious and he shows how to do the work with common shop tools rather than expensive OEM special tools. He also thoroughly explains the advantages and disadvantages of modification, be it high performance or performance enhancement. I'm anxious to begin!!

TH400 rebuild - 1979 Jeep CJ7,
By
This review is from: How to Work with and Modify the Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 Transmission (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
Great reference for rebuilding any TH400 - contains complete information in a step by step format. This is the first reference I've seen that contains information about the TH400 used by AMC (Jeep) other than the actual service manuals.
