thanks bison, i remember my brothers was purple paint with brf on it when i changed his filter and servo,, & mine was yellow . and was just wondering th e difference. so just a regular regal huh no turbo correct. does that make my valve body weak?? will it work with what i have?/

someone may have switched valve bodies on me i know i had the original brf in there.. thats ok i have another one. however..
If i cant get this 2-3 slide or flare fixed on mine it looks like im gonna have to send it in to chris ckp. im gonna try this PR spring to see if it'd help my pressures come up a little then if that doesnt work im pullin it....

im gonna get this 200r tranny build down one day that is my future goal. i really need to learn how to do this my self i have the manual now, over the next 6months im gonna slowly start buying the tools to get this done right... thanks again for the response bison.

LC2 is the for the turbo engine. Sounds like you have the correct turbo valve body.

LC2 is the 3.8 turbo. If you have a 2-3 flair its not likely a recalibration or vb switch will help it. Id start by posting the pressures. The pressure on the 2-3 shift is a good place to start. More than likely there is a leak in the direct clutch circuitry which is common on these. The more power you throw at it the worse it gets. Dual feeding direct is the best solution from my experiences. This requires use of a billet shafted forward drum. Other than the cost of the drum the modification is very easy for a trans builder to do. Id buy the book from CK and start reading if you are going to attempt to build your own.
