Really .. you don't???I am not sure what this guy did ....
but he knows not to do it again............
Hi, The advantage of not applying the band is because you can have an overlap issue from 1st to 2nd. The 1st gear band has to release & 2nd gear band has to apply at exactly the right time to avoid what is called overlap. I used a stock valve body & rebuilt it with a TransGo TF3 kit. The band is on in 1st. I also installed a bolt in SPRAG among other goodies. Works perfect. SteveI dont think there is any bennefits of not applying the band. I think it was done to make shifts faster origanally
Not Yet you mean.
I was rolling through a water puddle at work one day and thought I'd do a "Smoky". Broke the sprag in a heartbeat! Stock 340, Early Turbo Action manual valve body.
70, no way a 904 is any safer. You dont see many because not too many mild 904s are being raced in comparison. If a racer has a 904, it's already been beefed up, and most know about the 2nd gear burnout. The geartrain and hydraulic systems are identical in 904s, and the material is the same for the clutch retainer. If the sprage gets rolled, the same issues arise.
thanks will call him tomorrow
Where can I buy the 16 roller bolt in sprag?
Thank you
