High horsepower
engines require modifications to their power train to prevent the
transmissions from failing. A stock transmission has limited clutch
material and its holding ability can be improved by increasing the
amount of clutch apply pressure by reworking the stock valve body.
New valve designs,
new springs, oil port sizes, new governor piston dimensions and
adjustments have been made. Larger ports increase flow rates which
cools the oil and reduces convertor oil evacuation time for quicker
clutch apply time. Solenoids are pretested as is the complete valve
body prior to shipping.
BD&also
has 2nd gear lock up available so you can use 2nd gear for some
serious engine retarding. A TorqLoc switch will have to be used
to activate this function.
If you have
an extremely high horsepower engine we can preset the valve body
for pressures up to 180 psi! Normal applications are usually set
for 100 psi.
Each valve body
is tested on our Answermatic 2000 tester before shipping. Take a
look at the installation procedure. It is available under the button
on the right hand side of the screen!! |
