upgrade Tranny

When you upgrade your tranny what all do ya need to do to it? To handle the 450-550 power ranges?

Replace all the clutches. Replace the Valve body with a redesigned Valvbody. Replace Servo's and all with upgraded parts. Replace atleast the Input shaft with a Billet shaft. Turn up the Pressure.

In general that's what ya do.

Re:upgrade Tranny

Generall you will be doing a

Torque converter
Valve body
Master kit
Input shaft

Now with DTT you get accummulator/servo/4.4 lever ratio as well Im not sure of the others members will chime in.

I did all of the above to mine when I need a trans.

Powerwagon,

Maybe I'm just getting a little de-sensitized, but somehow all that DTT stuff for your trans seems like a pretty good deal, especially if that's installed and everything! ;D
