We are looking into this. MTF.
Just out of curiousity is this not essentially the same thing? https://www.sonnax.com/parts/2460-fo...buse-bore-plug

You want to pin the 3-2 valve against the reverse abuse bore plug, Have you/your builder checked your old VB?
#42
As for possible processes as to how the pinning occurs this is the best explanation (yeah, it is yours) I have found yet using the TransGo kit: https://ls1tech.com/forums/automatic...l#post19658365
Therefore, if I am reading this correctly (page 2, step 1) the HD-2 uses a tightly-wound/near-solid "purple" spring to pin the valve: https://ls1tech.com/forums/automatic...questions.html

You got the basics! The Trans Go spacer-spring usually does the trick....You can check by trying to stroke the valve....If it moves at all....Try different bore plugs/flip yours over etc 'til it doesn't move. I machine a spacers for my builds.
#44
Looking at the HD-2 instructions I noticed the inclusion of the 1-2 Shift Valve (plus springs and things) on Page 2, Step 5. I am wondering what this does (TransGo doesn't offer much info on it), and if it is compatible or worth while to use with the Sonnax Performance Pack?

I strongly suggest NOT installing the Transgo 1-2 shift valve because it could cause you to accidentally and seriously overrev your engine in a way that the PCM could otherwise prevent. As Clinebarger points out, with a performance tune it is not needed.

Took a month and a half start to finish - but it is home now. I'll do a detailed spec wrap up later.
First thing I've done is plumb in the pressure transducer. For those wondering why it is positioned back there it is so I can remove the sensor and use it elsewhere without taking a bunch of crap off to pull it out of the case. AWD crowds things pretty good.

Wow, that is an excellent set of parts! And I'm sure very pricey to get in Canada.
Do you remember your target clearance for the 3/4 clutch?
Good luck with the install and fingers-crossed that it works perfectly the first time.

As for the clearances on the 3/4 clutches - I don't know. That said - I did pass this information along: https://ls1tech.com/forums/automatic...tech-drum.html And based on the conversation he worked it to get the 9 clutches and the tolerance set up well.
So yeah - I wish I had more information. But, that is why paid a guy vs. doing it myself (got to manage my expectations).

Still gingerly driving this thing and tuning the FMC/PCS to get the pressures into acceptable ranges at part throttle conditions. Thus far I have reduced the FMC in the 100-400 ft/lb range by 10-15% (which is really increasing the mA - but whatever).
Found these PCS figures to use as a reference mostly interested in the 5.7L and 6.0L applications:
The target pressures I was given by the builder were:
Park: 60-80 psi
Idle in Gear: 80-90psi
Cruise (~2000rpm): 110-120psi
Load: 160psi
So programming upwards of 227psi is acceptable by GM, right?
What I am seeing is in that range just at a very low throttle position - this is definitely correlated between the calculated torque and absolute load. To be fair this is an overdriven Procharged LS2 with a wastegate so boost comes on quickly (and therefore torque); and being that it is consistently -20 to -30*C right now is probably giving the MAF/IAT fits (arctic air density bitches!).
When compared to the pressure commanded by the FMC it makes one wonder what those figures represent. My best postulations are the PCS augments the base mechanical line pressure at various load points, in various states (static/gear/coast) by "adding" the programmed pressure number (goes from 0-148psi in HP Tuners) to the base mechanical line pressure.
So if you were to subtract the Commanded Pressure from the Measured Pressure you would likely have your Base Mechanical Pressure. Keep in mind the figures presented above are the averages of whole 10 minute drive - not the minimums vs maximums seen (which I do have access too).
I am going to plot the pressure against road speed and rpm, and then filter it for low-TPS or the like.

**2001 to 2008 valve bodies are functionally the same. A generalization but applies to this discussion.
The only difference in the spacer plate is a extra Actuator Feed Limit slot to feed the EPC Solenoid. I have mixed & matched the 2 style spacer plates with each other....Not a functional difference that I have detected!
**2007 Plate Detail (Includes M33 Hybrid) Doesn't show the extra AFL hole.
2009 Plate detail...Shows the extra AFL hole.
2004 GM Corvette replacement spacer plate....Has the extra hole (yellow)
