how is this done properly i have heard of people doing this before. Just wanting to try this out. I know that you have to disable the band from alplying but i do not know how this is done, do you just leave the band out, put a spacer under the servo so that it dosent ingage the band, checkball removal, what is the most effective and safe way to do this? i know that this can put extra strain on the intermediate one way race. i just want someone to explain it to me


Thanks

You must misunderstand the operation of the tranny in question.

the strain is on the intermediate sprag race during acceleration , not during decel.

The band holds the drum for engine braking only.

If you remove the band and while in manual second gear the tranny will seem to 'neutral out' when you lift on the gas pedal ( no acceleration)... when throttle is reapplied hard that is when the sparg race is really stressed .


:cool:

Remove the band and servo parts.

Remove the spring from under the accumilator piston in the valve body. Use washers or a spacer to block the piston down into the v-body. Reinstall the E clip retainer

Plug off all the holes in the case where the servo was. 1/8 pipe plugs, a cup plug the size of the large hole , they must be plugged off or you have a massive leak
