Can definitely hear it flare on the 2-3 shift.
Can definitely hear it flare on the 2-3 shift.
I probably will not be making any changes at all until I get to the track again. Transmission and Circle D trq conv. only have three runs on them. Might need more line pressure or band adj. For right now only thing I am going to do is keep leaving the line with higher rpms until the brakes will not hold anymore. Then I will probably start using the two step.
What happens on the 2-3 shift is the front band releases and direct (front) clutches apply.
wasnt there a spring you bake to reduce 2-3 flare?
"Joe Dzwil suggested shortening the spring in the front clutch pack by a 1/2 an inch will result in quicker and harder 2nd to 3rd shifts. He compressed his in an extra front clutch assembly and put it in a preheated (very hot) barbeque for 10 minutes. The spring was compressed about a 1/2 and inch."
yup.... from carl buchbinders old site.

Like I said I am not terribly worried about it right now. Having too much fun going fast for a change
Late here but congrats on the full runs! Messing with the return spring definitely seems like the easiest thing to try if you are doing your own transmission work. Im sure putting 400+tq through a flaring clutch pack will eat it somewhat quickly but if you're only making drag passes im sure it will last long enough to allow you to address more pressing issues and just put new clutches and steels in that drum when it finally comes down for trans work.
Dont push the red button.You hear me?
Going to let her eat on the 30th everybody keep their fingers crossed for me

Oh yes I can only go down the track once and then I let her cool down for about 45 minutes. That's the great thing about a track rental there's no rush to try and make passes

Thank you so far the weather looks like it's going to cooperate and only a high of 71 that should help out quite a bit last time I was there it was 84
