Well went to rebuild my tci th350 and install my brake, and found this lovely gem. Only supposed to be weak in third gear, I suppose this could be weak in all gears lol. As much as I couldn’t afford it, I knew I needed to upgrade anyways so I bought the ckc performance mechanical diode drum assembly and the bullet input shaft and drum.

Soooooooooo much better. Tapered the ports back about an 1” to 1.25 inch depending on how bad the lip was. That should help a ton.
