my trans guy said with less washers the harder it shifts...hes been building them for 23 years or something like that..i was confused when he said less washers means harder shifts...i thought it was softer shifts...he said hes going to put a heavyer spring behind the 2nd accumulator to soften up my 1-2nd gear shift. is this true??Thanks-Travis

 

everything this guy says seems backwards. anything i have ever read says washers equal firmness. with a washer you are effectively pre-compressing the spring and loading it so with the servo says shift it will shift faster and harder. how on earth would a stiffer spring allow for a softer shift? maybe hes been doing it wrong for 23 years.

 

Ive never heard of them either (superior) and i think Dockrocker has one in his 700R4?? thats the guy that i talked to that built docks tranny.

 

hey,thanks ill tell him that...haha im not sure thought..thanks alot for the information..-Travis

 

hey,my drivetrain makes ALOT of noise when i put it into gear and reverse,im not exacly sure what it is we have replaced Both Ujoints...im scared its going to be something expensive..any ideas??its a 00'silverado z71
thanks-Travis

 

im pretty sure its a normal chevy thing, maybe just a little slack in the system, i know mine clunks into reverse or i think it does but regardless im prett sure youll be alright

 

Mine clunks every time i break the tires loose.

 

that must be a pretty loud clunk unless you have stock exhaust

 

That's what my new Tranny is coming with... Affordability and firmer shifts=performance on a budget...

 

I have stock exhaust, and yeah i would relate the clunk to like slack in the drive shaft, it is a good clunk.
