More pump carnage. Probably could've rebuilt it but thats alright.
Tore into the trans as well. Everything looked good. Band was good, all the clutches etc as well, except the reverse input drum. Clutches had like a coning to them and ll the steels were warpy.
I think i just want to do a basic overhaul, new clutches, beast shell and new gaskets/orings
Going to verify that there is a transgo kit in the trans and remove it. Plan is to order a Sonnax LB1 boost valve and a new separator plate as a couple of the checkball holes were fairly beat up
That's the 3rd Accumulator Feed, Blocking it will slow the Band Knock-Off on 2-3 shifts by forcing ALL 3rd Accumulator oil through the Band Release Orifice.
This may work on the smaller 553 & 554 2nd Pistons, It might have even fixed a 2-3 Flare.
I'm assuming your going to use a factory 093 or a larger aftermarket 2nd servo?

Well, should I?
I don't mind spending money on smaller upgrades, but not a chance in hell I'll buy something like a $600 smart drum either.
Until I get stupid with the truck the 60e is staying in.
Edit
Should also note I didn't find the Transgo boost valve in the pumorning that got damaged as well

Found a corvette servi last night just look through my parts
I never really checked my commanded vs actual shifts but I can say it never tapped the limiter despite the wot rpm and redline being very close
Still trucking along slowly
Started putting my 3-4 stack together and was like wow, this clearance is a little snug but not bad (0.028ish)
But something didn't seem right with the apply plate, I'm assuming from the crap pictures on google this is reminants from the Z-pak already in there. Measured the clearance with the old zpak in there, clearance was kind of sloppy around .062
That being said my rebuild kit (transtar) came with a 7 stack bw hienergy. Any suggestions on apply plate and retainer plate thickness? I know the general concensus is to run an 8stack clutch kit, but I would like to keep cost from spiraling out of control any more than it already has
