I finally got around to getting the line pressure hole drilled. The measuring was good and lined up perfectly with the valve body mocked up.
I drilled a 1/8 hole in the back of the case to lube the sprag clutch better.
And then drilled a decent sized hole for a 1/8th pipe thread plug or a vent to be put there and possibly block the vent in the pump. I know this was unnecessary but while I was at it and had aluminum shavings ll over the place. I figured to just get it all done at once whether I was gonna use it or not.
I do wonder though. Why do people block the pump vent and open up the top of the case or put it toward the back near the governor.
Why not just have both vents and vent out pressure and heat from two locations? Either way.....I don’t think I’ll use it but it’s there.
I haven’t had a chance to drill the valve body yet for the Transgo. Been busy with work.
But as said above.
I decided to go the more tf1 route and go with the largest of those.
The .140
Hopefully it will be more of what I’m looking for. I opted out of the shift command mod.
I should be drilling the separator plate tomorrow and start the process of putting this back together.
It’s been out for way too long. Longer than I expected by far but other stuff gets in the way. The book by Tom hand and the other book by Carl munroe are both excellent. I recommend both of them.
