I can/should take the two check ***** out of the case?

 

Frank you mean just remove the ball right there in the bathtub? Or that one plus the two in the case?
thanks!

 

You leave out the bathtub ball. You can either leave in the overun ball or not does not matter , I generally leave it in

 

I am a bit confused but I think you are asking

In VB LEAVE OUT THE BATHTUB BALL AND IF YOU LIKE THE OVERUN BALL NEXT TO IT , DOES NOT REALLY MATTER WITH IT.
As for case as long as you have blocked the 4th acum then no reason to a ball there.
Other ***** in case low/rev ball at back of case you can remove or leave, removing might make a more aggressive rev apply

Of course the ball in the case near servo inside capsul must be there.

Hope I covered all .

Frank

 

yessir all good, thank you very much. I will pull the VB bathtub checkball and the CASE 4th accumulator. Leave the rest.

thank you!

 

Well guys i messed up..
i got a chance to finish this up, finally, and i couldnt get the pump to seat all the way back in.
I must have forced it too much (i was tightening down the bolts with a rachet) and it just didn’t seem tight. I kept taking it back off and checking things, but in reality i don’t really know what to look for. The reverse drum seemed like it was low enough, so i did it a final time and there was a low kinda quiet pop that i got.
At that point the input shaft would only turn one direction. It would lock going the other way. So i ended up pulling the valvebody and everything back off, took out the input drum and removed the 3-4 clutches.
They must not have been lined up, because i bent the little splines.I gues when i remived the pump I pulled the whole assembly out and twisted it. So now i need a new 3-4 clutchpack, which i guess is ok, im sure an upgrade wouldnt hurt.

Any recommendations for a good one, with the modifications I have already done? BTT, this is a pretty decent turbo HP rig, about 5000lbs.

Also, any point in upgrading to a wider band for my application? For that I would have to buy a new drum correct? Is that upgraded needed? Does that mean every time you replace a band, even stock size, that the drum is to be replaced?
I have read mixed results on leaving out the 3/4 release springs/holders, as well as drilling the 3/4 steels for oil lube holes. I could do that at work (drill and chamfer) is that something good to do/upgrade? Do that with my old steels or new ones?


thanks guys

 

OOPS! I can put you together one of my 3-4 sets just message me if you like and wide band is great but make sure you have a totally flat or new reverse drum

 

sure Frank, i’ll take ya up on that 3-4 pack…do you think I should spend the money doing the drum/band upgrade?
i dont realy have a way to check it other than put a straight edge across it and use feeler gauges or plastigage? We have a lathe at work in maintenance but it is not hooked up for use yet.

 

use a straight edge and yea its a great upgrade IMO
