More Turbo
Ive got ATSG manuals and have access to Ford Manuals from working at dealerships in the past.
I've heard of the machining of the plates to fit more clutches and steels. Ive got access to all those machines. Hadnt heard of the Center support shim but saw the shim on the sonnax site. Was wondering what that was all about.
I know all about warped cases too.... Spent 3 days chasing a no-shift when hot problem on one couple years ago. Took that transmission apart more times than I want to think about.
Going to call Raybestos tomorrow and talk about their H.E. packs with Kolenes. Cant seem to find anyone local that is a distributor.
Really been thinking about just grabbing a 4R100. Cant seem to find any consistent information about that swap though. Some say you need to re-pin the main harness for a SD PCM some say its a direct swap, Some say its impossible. General consensus is that the Solenoid pack needs to be swapped to a '96-'97 NPWM along with the front pump. Seems to be more of an aftermarket for the 4R100 than the E4OD.
Thanks for the reply. This was exactly the kind of information I was looking for.

Now if you decide on using a 4R, guess what. You still need to address the center support. This is a killer of what is decent tranny in stock form. Also, you will want to use an E4OD forward drum. It has full splines where the 4R doesn't .

To use a 4R100. Change the solenoid pack and TRS. If its a PWM 4R converter lock up might be a little harsh.

I also could not find that shim you mentioned in the Sonnax catalog. I could only find the shim that goes between the CS and the case for the feed bolts.
Called my local supplier and asked about the H.E. packs. He kept pushing the Red Eagle Powerpacks. Finally had to tell him no. H.E. clutches are .77" thick according to their catalog while the Powerpacks are only .70".. Sure you can fit extra clutches in there but theyre almost 10% thinner.
