Few Buildup Questions

[jakeshoe]

Ok,
Got a few questions on the 200 buildup.
1. I know the BRF trans have the 3-4 accumulator pistons and spring reversed compared to lesser models. Should all buildups use this method for a better shift or only BRF calibrated ones?

2. Should I use 2 waved plates in the forward clutch pack or delete one or both?

3. On the 4th clutch the ATSG manual says to install one steel. one friction, then 2 steels together, then another friction, then backing plate. Is this still recommended even when adding a friction? Or do you just use a normal alternating method and use correct backing plate and machine piston as needed?

More to come....

TIA,
Jake

Ok,
I found the answer for question #1 already, thanks to the search function.

Mark or Bruce,
I'll be ordering some stuff soon I hope. Got my rebuild kit with red clutches, alto band, new sun shell and stator, ATSG, and a few extras, also picked up the BRF core last Sat. Spent my Servo money on it
It is supposed to be a rebuilt unit as you saw. Anyway I got the band while I was ordering and will get the Servo and band kit soon from you guys. I'm thinking I may have enough leftover stuff to build a cheapie 200-4R for my dad. Gonna have the leftover GN servo, extra band, and GN TV valves, etc..
So maybe if this BRF I got has some good pieces in it I'll take them out and make a leftover parts trans for dad's.
My luck it'll work better than my $$$ unit.

fwd. use what was in it originally, 4th w/3 clutch set up you would alternate the clutch/steals. Good luck and keep us up on it!

you wont be able to double the steel s in the middle ww/out cutti ng down the clearance at the plate or piston using 3 disks .we use 4 clutches and 4 steels in o/d and do this by maching the piston and pressure plate down .as for the acunulator it works better by installing the piston and then the spring not reverse because the shift wont get firmer w/more throttle like it is supposed to .unless you believe in paramythia what us greeks call fairytales www.ckperformance.com
