Alright, i was speaking with my transmission builder and he brought up a good point that i would like to share and ask your opinions/experiences on.
I am going with a turbo 400 transmission and as we all know that these had issues with over pressurizing the torque converter and thus whipping out thrust bearings.
flywheels, or flexplates are suppose to have some lee-way to flex around a bit, especially during high load conditions, and with a JW wheel being a solid flywheel, such as the one i and most others have, could hinder the amount of flex that should be seen in the flywheel, thus MAYBE also contributing to thrust bearing failure.
What do you guys think? What have you experienced? What flywheels are you running with you turbo 400?
Thank guys,
Adrian
