I ran into a dilema tonight. I got the Sonnax pinless accumulators and when I went to install it in the 1-2 bore, i realized it didn't really go together because I dont think the Sonnax stuff fits with the Transgo stuff. I already plugged the pin bore and staked the hole so Im stuck with the pinless setup.

I can simply re-use the factory springs, but I want to use the Transgo stuff if I can.

here is what came out




here is what is supposed to go back in according to sonnax




here is what is supposed to go in according to Transgo




If I stack the springs together, with the spring perch in betweenm, I get the same dimensions as factory




Right is factory. Left is what I came up with.

If I flip the spring perch it will seat in the bottom spring to keep it from sliding off, and the top orange spring wont slide off because it sits inside the piston.





does this seem stupid or should I just stick with the factory spring setup? how much of a difference will it make in the different spring tensions?

 

I wouldnt run dual springs, try your factory spring with the pinless accumulator. It'd be the same as running your stock one an make for an easier 1-2 shift vs a chirp.

 

Use the factory springs with the sonnax accumulator. Any other way you try to do it you are looking for trouble because you are using the sonnax piston.
