Conversation Between truckdoug and Dukecarolina

I do have the answer though--China and whoever else plays that dumb copycat the American engineering horseshit!! There is so much slop in the plastic roller assy for sure, But the fucking rollers must be at least .0195 .Mine measured .194 --I know--OH DUKE COME ON MAN !!!! YEAH?- Well you have 12 rollers Dude so you multiply that and throw in a used drum and planet and you are fucked. I removed my trans twice--no reverse before I caught it. Found a NOS Delco sprag and it measured a true .195 and I am good. I experimented with a new drum,new roller and new delco planet and used as well---FACT--If you take an inferior sprag and place it on an UNLOADED drum, Turn the sprag counterclockwise by hand tight then spin your planet on either clockwise or counter clockwise it will spin both ways---This tells you it will fail immediately if not very soon under any shock load.--TRY IT--Duke

Without an email address I can't--this site is too fucking complicated--email me at dukecarolina@yahoo.com

can you link the video? I've been fucked on a couple units with the late style OD sprag, one or two blips on the dyno. i have a couple videos i think, as Ive fought it a couple times

Hey Doug,

Remember that simple 4l80e overdrive roller sprag no lock video of yours all over the web? Why no follow up ? It is an issue unresolved .Ever hear back again from this owner?-thanks-Duke
