The lock up clutch failed in the torque convertor.  There was no metal or clutch material in the pan so it did not burn up; it just would not fully engage.

Here's the build sheet and I upgraded the torque convertor to a Goerend 15SS

Air temp 91°F  Transmission fluid temp 165°-190°F

Line pressure, transmission in drive :  no throttle  stopped   85 PSI       

                                                          light throttle  2ed gear 105 PSI

                                                          light throttle  3ed gear  110 PSI

                                                          light throttle  4th gear   120 PSI @ 2200 RPM

                                                          W/O throttle  1-2 shift   180 PSI @ 2800 RPM

                                                          W/O throttle  2-3 shift   175 PSI @ 3100 RPM 

                                                          W/O throttle  3-4 shift   150 PSI  

                                                          W/O throttle  4-3 shift  150 PSI  

                                                          100% throttle 4th gear TCC locked @ 70 MPH 160 PSI

                                                          0% throttle 3ed or 4th gear TCC locked down hill slowing 100PSI

                                                          reverse gear stall test 330 PSI

This transmission is putting power down that was wasted with a stock build.  I now have the power to the tires to brake them loose or tow my 5er with the boat behind it up an 8 mile 6% grade at 65 MPH with throttle to spare. 

 

Thanks Jon.

 

 

                                                           

That looks to be a list of parts I could do with, I doubt I could jump on a trans done then shipped as the damn shipping and customs would be huge also the core charge is a killer but the parts I could do

Curious about the governor relief circuit and why kevlar bands in this tranny 

[Dynamic]

I don't use kevlar bands in anything.

 

I put a pressure relief valve in the governor circuit to protect the transducer from high line pressure.

 

 

[Evan]

That's what I thought.  Your build sheet has kevlar bands listed .

 

The relief valve is slick

[Dynamic]

Where does my build sheet show kevlar bands?

[IBMobile]

Raybestos Pro Series intermediate band

OK. I see what he's referring to now.

 

Yes, they do have kevlar fibers in the weave, but the Pro Series is a high-energy woven carbon style band. It's not what is typically referred to as a "kevlar" band. That's where I was confused. Either way, they're a great band! LOL!!

 

Carry on.....

Sweet 

 

I'm watching for a core. I'd love to have you build one.
