New TC

[96_Bear]

I got my new TC in and put a Sonnex Boost Valve in the pump. I have like 310,000+ on the trans no rebuild just 3 converter since I got the truck. I am going to run a live data on it tomorrow to see if the new valve increased the line pressure like they claim. I seen like 5 psi at idle and 140 or so when I was checking 1/4 miles data I will see what the new numbers are and if it was worth it. I was wondering if I should put a kit in the Valve body to help with soft shifts also and with as many miles as I have on it if it would be worth it?

Wow I think you have a record for the E4OD. Do the valve body. Your tranny will thank you.

Everything works great. Line pressure is steady lower than what I think it should be. The max psi we seen was 63 so i think it can improve. I noticed that 2nd gear is mushy but everything else is great. The valve body upgrade you are talking about is that the Tri Accum spring thing from Sonnex?

Yes that will work fine. Another option take a look at Trans Go kits.

Check this guy out.

He has Sonnax kits too.

Hey thanks for the reply. The place I got my parts from is called Decca Detroit. They said they sold a shift kit for $45 that I have to drill hole in the valve body and stuff and repalce some parts to make it shift better and fmore firm shifts.

Sounds like a Trans Go kit.
