Dan Dishon's Transmission Den / Re: Power glide pumping fluid from vent

« on: December 25, 2019, 06:20:05 AM »

Im headed to the shop today, I will trace the vent circuit through the pump to find all possible cross feeds, sounds like an issue with the pump for sure.

The 829 is a Transmission Specialties part number, the xls means it's spragless, the other stuff has to do with stator and fin angle. Call them and they will decode it for you.

The lower strap isn't so much for keeping the pan from going down, as much it keep the shield from going up. All of the straps are needed for it to work as designed.

I think you are on the right track going with 1.69. A 1.80 will be more prone to tire shake with that size tire.

If it's well built and you are light I think it would be worth a try. I have some customers in RED's leaving in high with a glide.

Wow what a strange place to stamp a converter, I dont know of any of the major companies that stamp there.

Dan Dishon's Transmission Den / Re: Powerglide build, which parts?

« on: December 05, 2018, 07:18:06 PM »

For my customers at that power level, I would do a 1.80 Straight cut gear set. 7 clutch high 5 in reverse all alto red eagles, a kevlar band, a dual ring servo, a 300m turbo spline input shaft, a reman stock pump would work but a new after market would be better, and for sure a pro brake valvebody. This combo will give you room to grow without breaking the bank.

I did a build a few years back for a TD guy using light weight parts minus the planet, we used an aluminum VB, aluminum high drum, and aluminum stamped pan. Overall I think we saved 24lbs over his JW case combo. I believe 18ish lbs was the case.

Its hard to mix manufacturers parts as they have "fixed" oem issues in their own way. I have modified a lot of valves over the years.

« on: October 25, 2018, 08:47:51 PM »

All of the new stuff coming out of Reid Racing has the stickers attached to a tag and they tell you to keep it with you to show the tech inspector. For tags already on we have had good luck using clear finger nail polish to paint over them.

« on: October 08, 2018, 05:45:05 AM »

My only concern would be an orifice in one end or the other. As long as it has good flow it should work. After all its just a heat exchanger.

Dan Dishon's Transmission Den / Re: trans temp sensor location

« on: September 25, 2018, 07:30:43 PM »

Most generally the temp sensor gets installed in the pan as close to the floor of the pan as possible.

« on: September 21, 2018, 07:31:06 PM »

Every combo is different. Some work better with some without and some it seems to make no difference. Talk to your converter people and see what they say. In a perfect world we could try both and see what works best.

10% is very high, 4% is real tight, in the real world I think 5 to 6% is the norm.
