Subject: Re: Transmission questions, PETE!!!! YOU AROUND? by PeteK on 2008/10/25 16:25:10 John, As I mentioned on the phone, we had a similar motor in my friends 92 formula. By coincidence, we found a 92 trans in the boneyard, as it was formally a stick car.We used a B&M transpak shift kit. My buddy pounded the dick out of that car, for over 2 years, then sold it to a streetracer near Atco, NJ. I uderstand that it is still running well, after approx 4 years. The recipe was: Pump: Stock 10 vane gm (new vanes) .471 boost valve (stock vette) .283 lo-rev boost valve (stock vette) Transgo no yo yo kit (high rpm spring and hardened vanes) 1 pc 93 and up style stator sealing rings Wide rear stator bushing. Teflon front bushing B&M regulator spring from shift kit Reverse drum: Borg worner frictions orifice plug for aluminum piston .050 clearance Kevlar band Servo: Stock vette .085-.090 pin travel Input Drum: 1 pc sealing rings BW frictions in forwards, and overruns 29 element BW sprag Raybestos Z-Pack with matching GM apply ring (set to .050) 98 and up steel apply pistons Transgo High rev return springs. Stock Gm 4 pinion planetaries Beast reaction shell 2001 and up rollerized stator shaft and bushing Sonnax wide bushing in rear sun gear Lo Roller: BW replacement element BW frictions set to stock stack height New governor gear Rear teflon tailhouse bushing New accumulator pistons White spring in aux valve body NEW seperator plate. GM is discontinued for 1987, so a transgo plate will work well. Valvebody modded as per B&M New 4th pressure switch New 4-3 pulse switch New lock up solenoid Others may agree or disagree, but this combo has worked well for my on high powered stuff with hard 60' times |
