rollerizing a C6 ?
Someone in another tread mentioned somthing called "rollerizing" a C6 to get less HP drain on the enging, Does anyone have any info on this or a site to go to get info ? Also can a taller 1st gear be installed like a 3.05 insted of the stock one ?
thanks

tci sells a low drag kit:"This low drag set for the C6 replaces the troublesome stock thrust washers with needle bearings that reduce friction and extend transmission life. Set includes forward planetary assembly, forward clutch hub, reverse planetary assembly, reverse ring gear, rear sprag inner race and roller bearing rear park gear. All thrust washers are replaced by a needle bearing." $261.39 from summit
tci low gears with low drag bearing installed:$615.69 from summit

Guess it's my turn to start paying attention, if you notice they mentioned discontinuing the M7398-c kit which is the old one and only used a 4 pinion planetary but thats cool that they brought it back as the 6 pinion using hte 4L100 parts like I was talking about I didn't know they had done that.
Thanks for that info.

This is what I found while looking for a lower transmission ratio

I don't know if it is the same as the Ford kit though. It is alot cheaper (quality???), I don't know he seems repitable.
