4R100 Forward drum

[early99powerstroke]

I've heard of people discarding the wave plate to fit an extra clutch and steel in the forward drum. Is this a bad idea? Whats the purpose of the wave plate?

Into my trans soon, I would like to know as well.....

The wave plate is to soften the engagement into drive.

 

[early99powerstroke]

how hard will it engage into drive without the wave plate?

 

[Mark Kovalsky]

I don't know. I haven't tried it.

Would you recommend taking the wave plate out to put another clutch plate in?

 

[Mark Kovalsky]

I have no opinion on it.

I don't build performance transmissions. That's not my area of expertise.
