    Tranny cooler.

    Well, no one knows? OK, how about this, does anyone have a cooler with a fan on it? Are they hard to wire up? I do a majority of city driving but traffic isnt a big problem. So I dont know if a fan-cooler combo is necessary. I talked with Performance Automatic and PI about the cooler idea...

    All I have to say about converters is that you get what you pay for in the end...thats why I went with PI.

    Yes, anything that effects hp or tq can cause a change in stall speed. When PI builds their stall converters for a car, they ask for mods and such, so they know how to set it so you get the desired stall speed.

    Tranny cooler.

    I know that I need to order one. I have come down to the choice of either Perma-Cool or Flex-A-Lite. I like the cost of the Perma-Cool units. The question is what is a good size to go with, like how big is too big (I know you cant have too much cooling). Is the fan really necessary, I would...

    94-95 vs 96-98 Taillights

    I am doing it right now. I started out at like 400, and I am slowly making my way up to 2000. They should turn out pretty clean once I am done. I will put a clear coat on top of them once they are all done.

    B&M Hammer Shifter

    I think they work just like the stock shifter, just a little different design. They work with the stock valvebody just fine from what I have read.

    B&M Hammer Shifter

    I am ordering one tonight or tomorrow actually. It will basically complete the tranny stuff.

    Once I get my car up and running with the 3500 stall and other stuff, I will give you an update on how I like it...I did a ton of research on what I wanted to do with the tranny, and talked to many people. When I talked to PI about the stall, they recommended a 3000-3500 stall, and from what I...

    Odd Transmission Problem

    http://www.hanlonmotorsports.com/hanlon_faq.htm 5.) Q: When I have my car in neutral and my foot is off the clutch, my car chirps like a bird. Is there something wrong with my transmission? A: The problem is most likely with your throw-out bearing, and not the transmission. When the...

    Odd Transmission Problem

    I think he is talking about the 2001 V6. I would be willing to bet its the TOB, the sound comes and goes sometimes...How has the 94 been acting since you got it back? How many miles on the tranny?

    Well the rebuild kit will only help if needed, it really wont help with the times unless you has some slippage or anything like that. The valvebody will be a helper in quicker track times, since the shifts will be faster and more firm. A converter will be the best thing you can do to the...

    Yes, the line pressure will be increased with a new valvebody. That allows for much faster and firmer shifts. I know the feeling that you are talking about with lag...

    I have talked to most of the after-market tranny places, Art Carr, Level 10, Performance Automatic, and Lentech, and from what I can tell the clutches for the kits are made by Raybestos or Alto. The after-market guys just repackage other companies products. I am pretty sure the mechanical...

    Any idea on how to remove rust spots on fuel rail?

    I would say try some that Nevr-Dull stuff, it took rust off of a knife I had found in my garage. Should come in a can that looks like this...

    I will tell you one thing when building these aod-e's, if you do it right the cost of it gets up there. But as many will say, do it right the first time and you wont have to worry about it again for a long time.

    They can work with the stock shifter with no problems. I will be getting a B&M hammer shifter though, I have heard they shift much easier into each gear with less chance of skipping a gear. The stock shifter tends to slide right over second sometimes.

    The valvebody/transbrake came together. I got a pretty good price on it for just under $500. The full manual part of it is where you have to shift the car from gear to gear on your own, no automatic ability anymore. I have driven a foxbody with a combo very similar to what mine is, with the...

    The Alto Red Eagle rebuild kit came in at around $265.00, give or take a few bucks. Basically the transbrake will allow me to reach full stall rpm at launch at the track. You cant do that with applying the brake and the gas at the same time... I wont be the one actually rebuilding the tranny...

    I am in the middle of a rebuild right now, the parts are in the sig. Alto makes the Red Eagle clutches for Performance Automatic and Level 10. The Alto Red Eagle also came with a gasket kit that seemed to be packaged by Level 10. I have a few other parts that I am going to order, like a B&M...
