the video and written have nothing to do with each other at all. i am told to follow the written. does this mean where it strays from the vid? or do i completely ignore the vid altogether?

one thing i want to ask specifically:
on page 4, step 3, it instructs to do something w/ plate hole sizes and has different instructions for "custom high stall converter or race only"
(a=.093 b=.082 vs a=.101 b=.093)

should i follow the regular size or the custom high stall or race only size? my car is a daily driver that has never been to the track, but it does have a 3400 2.0, which i consider kind of a low aftermarket stall. but they might consider 3400 "high stall" since it is "custom"

which one should i go with?
anyone have experience with this?

call transgo to make sure. You are increasing the line pressure to 1,2,3,4 gears with the drilling they are talking about.

i dont have time to **** around
going back and forth to the damn VCR inside the damn house all day.
can i just discard the video
and use ONLY the written?

will that work?

oh yeah, i called them,
and they said to go with the bigger diameter drilled holes. they think 3400 is "high stall". how crappy. wait till i get a 3800 2.55
oh yeah. hows that for daily driver

Yes go with the written,and larger drill bit sizes due to your converter stall. Been building trany's for 15 years.

so.. two or three washers?
again, its a 3400 2.0
in a sloppy trans
with old beat up clutches
and black trans fluid with a custom metallic additive.

I like two. You might want to start getting to know your local trans guy!

I know what you're saying...that video will screw you up more than help. And the instructions and sequence of operations are nothing like the video.

Eventually I pitched the vid and went the written. Just make sure to sketch the assemblies before you take 'em apart and triple check your work- you don't wanna go through it again.

it is telling me to drill some holes
.101 and .120
what are these?
mm? cm?
how do i convert them to fractions of an inch?
where can i buy these?
the package only came with .093 and .082
and no one is picking up at transgo
