Yep, trans pan tapped. Super simple deal. It's not on his website, email him about it. I can take some pics of it tonight, there is some pics on the YB as well of others utilizing on thrust wipe threads.

Exactly what I.. That's completely false.
There is no magic restrictor number. Without knowing more about his setup telling him to add a .1xx restrictor is a shot in the dark and can lead to more problems. Every shaft is different, not every pump will respond the same way to an orifice. Line pressure changes the diameter of a restriction to obtain the same pressure. Converters play a role , oil type has its effects and the list goes on.

If you are short on bread, now is the best time to learn how to build your own tranny.

I'm in ct.
The trans is almost back together. All the clutches were smoked and had an untouched converter charge orifice. 610$ with a billet clutch hub, new seals and clutches, pump mod and some other things. Money well spent in my book. I'll probably add an external dump valve just incase the cooler is super restrictive

Good point about the driveshaft. I raced the entire last season with my th400 which did not have a restrictor mod of the pressure relief with 0 thrust issues. I measured my thrust is still at .006". But for peace of mind and with the new PTC converter I did both those mods. Got my valve and all my info from hutch.

My cure... on my 80E.
A cheapo Summit inline #6AN filter, with the element out, a restrictor/ orifice put in. Determining the orifice size once I get this pig running. [I have the machine tools to make various size drop-ins]. Or, washers drilled to size?
My cooler is remote, has a pressure port/-6 fittings, so I can add the tee, and retain the same setup.
I measured a -3ANx1/8npt fitting bore. .107". [7/64" = .109]. I don't know why a gauge port, -6 union couldn't be used in line, w/ a -3 in the side of it, and then to the pan. If a -3 line is too small, and would restrict flow, then a -4, w/ the npt end threaded for carb jets. As easy as changing shims.
I have waaay too much time on my hands.
