Question A340H modification for 3.4 SWAP

I know Team ShiftPoint has done these. Does anyone know of the EXACT details that go into modifying the A340H tranny that comes with the 3.0? I believe that I can do this to my tranny myself, but just would like to know what it involves.

ie. Modifying speed sensor, valve body, solenoids, torque converter lockup rate

I will be keeping 4x4, and getting the engine sans tranny will be much cheaper. Anyone with this sacred knowledge out there?

might be better off getting the tranny too.

just in case you wanna stick a dual crawler case... you're halfway there...

check out the case where a 340F was stuck behind a 3.0 so a dual t-case could be installed:

i know mine works well...

No idea, but I'm sure if you PM him he'll gladly help out.

I'm not really interested in a crawler. Maybe someday later. I want more power, for the 90% freeway driving, better gas milage, a bit more speed. My rig is gonna be more of a Baja rig, not a rock crawler.

Modifying my current tranny, (by a nice rebuild of it) seems to be much less complicated and cost effective than haveing to purchase an adapter, which still may leak and a crawler.

I've talked to him a bit, but he was a bit genera in what he had to do to the tranny. I know someone else did it, but I somehow lost his PM's.

I have a 3.4 A340F bellhousing and torque converter for sale if you find you have to go that route.
