New project...need a name!

Trans is back together and converted showed today.







I do have a question though. The converter came with a different spring for the pump, but that spring has already been replaced with the transgo unit. Am I safe to just leave the transgo spring, or should I pull the pump and put the other one in there?

Cant answer your question...


But did you vito buddies stand that robbed ya ?

I got it back....yes.

We use the spring that comes with the converter but the transgo should be fine.

Awesome! Hope to have it back in tomorrow.

I was able to get the tranny installed this morning. Working alone sometimes presents challenges when trying to maneuver heavy items, here is a trick I have been doing the past few years to get the tranny up onto the jack.



The new converter feels much "tighter" than the previous and really changes how the truck feels on the street. Its very easy to spin the tires from a stop or roll on now. The rest of the trans feels pretty solid, but I will need to tweak shift pressures down a bit under part throttle and hold the TC lockup off a few MPH. Overall, the initial impressions are good!

sweet! back to being fun to drive then?

Its crazy how the truck accelerates so much harder with the TC unlocked now. Of course some of this could be attributed to the failing clutches, but its very noticeable.

I got the tuning adjusted a little better and added some torque reduction to keep things happy under full power. I am sure it will hurt track times (if I ever get it there) but hopefully it reduces some of the shock load that breaks parts.

I bet its more in the converter than anything. I really miss the efficiency of my PI converter. Once this 5r110 converter locks its fine, but until then it feels so mushy as I am used to the BTS in my 7.3

Sounds like you have really got the thing dialed in nicely!

Probably is. Not sure how the turbos are going to like it though.

I tried to do a stall test and the tires lit effortlessly at @1900ish. Tomorrow I will throw it into 4x4 and try a boost launch and see how it does.

I need a PI

All the cool kids have them

Nifty trick lifting the trans.





What if you don't have a hoist tho..... Canada doesn't have those yet

If you don't have a hoist, you don't need to lift it.
