on the next batch I think i will machine the spring pocket into the top of the piston to eliminate the plastic spring seat.The new lo reverse piston is running too.ive got a new return spring assembly designed into too and no steel apply ring ,just a solid billet aluminum clutch piston.im going to try to incorporate a ball capsule to eliminate partial apply when used with stage rite or with cross leaks into the circuit.

Hey Chris,
Any updates on the Billet Low/Reverse piston & some Pics?
Also do you have any of your manual supplements left?
Plan to buy Direct & L/R piston to go with the StageRite Brake I have.
Thanks, Todd

Hi Chris, looks nice! I used to build a lot of these trans but it has been a while. One question I have and I talked to a number of guys about this 7-8 years ago but since you mention adding a capsule to help with crossleaks and accidental clutch apply were you referring to the lo/rev pack or 3rd? I built quite a few of these for V8 guys shifting in the 6200-6800 rpm range and there seemed to have been a drag problem so drilling very small bleed hole in the piston or adding one or multiple capsules to prevent apply from crossleaks or centrifugal apply. On the GN transmissions I didnt really see the problem since they never got up to that rpm. I drilled a few sets of 3rd steels like the turbulator steels and it solved it but was an aweful lot of work to do, especially if the piston or something else would solve the problem. I ended up on most of them drilling a .030" hole on the 3rd apply section and that also seemed to help but didnt seem to completely cure it. Not really a huge deal as I rarely get into these anymore but I get a call now and then for one.
