4l80e help required please

[capssy]

hi guys beginning re assembling my 4l80e and noticed a chip is missing from my rear planetary drum please see picture my question is will this chip compromise the transmission in anyway to me that tooth on the drum serves no purpose there was no metal in the box when i disassembled it only damage i found was the direct clutch was smoked im just after some opinions on what to do i need a trans in the car and being from Australia 4l80 boxes and parts are very hard to find they never came in any cars here so any bits i order from the USA will take me 3 weeks plus to get took me over 2 months to land a core box and rebuild kit here. what do you think gents will it be ok to assemble this is my first 4l80 build

That's actually a normal machine mark from when it was balanced. Some of those drums will have multiple lugs that look like that depending on how much material has to be shaved off to get it balanced. You're good to go.

Another question mate about 4l80e stalls are they all the same fitting ie can i put a 4.3 v6 4l80 stall into a 6l lq9 4l80 i need to get a convertor and i read the v6 has a higher stall speed stock

Torque converter stall needs to be matched to the engine dynamics, vehicle weight, rear gear, and rear tire size for optimal performance. Yes you can put any stall speed you want and it will work, but it probably won't be right. If you have a good converter shop where you're at they should be able to put one together for you really easy, if not I can always make one and send it, but I'm sure the shipping cost will be crazy due to the weight of the converter.
