Guys,
This question is mostly directed to Bruce but if any other trans builders want to put in their $.02 I'd appreciate it.
I'm having a problem with trans longevity in my current combo. The car runs consistent 10.20's-10.30's and is very heavy (3700lbs with driver). I've got all the good high dollar stuff in there including billet parts, additional frictions, super servo, deep pan blah, blah,yadda, yadda.
The transmission works very well and lasts for a while (12-15 passes+ regular street duty) then begins to flare the 2-3 shift. When we dissassembled it this last time everything (band, direct clutch pack, OD clutch pack was on it's way out although there was no clutch material in the pan.
Is there anything that can be done to further upgrade my trans or is it time for something else? Also how much line pressure can you get away with at idle and WOT before the car wants to start off in 2nd gear. I ask this question because I think this is an area where we might be able to get some greater clamping force with higher press.
Thanks for any insight.
Neal
