Tranny Upgrade List
These are upgrades Im considering. Would like your opinion on list, includeing question marks.

Also which Master rebuild kit do you recommend, leaning towards one of these 2 kits:
https://www.wittrans.com/p-38618-bt22006e.aspx
https://www.wittrans.com/p-9842-b22006e.aspx
will these kits include additional clutches and steels per your recommendations in this thread?
[quote=MonteC;2077738]youve pretty much got it covered dave. I use mostly the alto high energy greens, the alto reds with kolenes would also be a good route but raybestoes makes the blue plate clutches that i use in racing applications, the blues are $$$$.
You might also want to upgrade to a 5 pinion front and rear planet, steel of course. I always upgrade the 3rd gear drum from 3 to 4 frictions, and the o/d brake gets upgraded from 4 to 5. Dont use a stock style 2nd gear band, use the aftermarket band, WITTRANS.COM has them and most every transmission part.
I use precision of new hampton converters. http://www.gopnh.com/ They carry an "RV" converter with the optional billet back, that is a very nice product.
Thanks for your help
Dave

Can someone tell me how the rear linkage for the band goes back together Thats the only thing holding me up on my rebuild it just fell apart when I took it apart and didn't get a chance to see, and the book I was sent doesn't have anything about this linkage other than adjustment.

When I bought my truck used it came with what appears to be a factory installed aux cooler and the radiator cooler is disconnected. When I hook it back up do I plumb it before or after the aux cooler? Which line from the trans is the feed line, the one with the anti drain back value (which I plan to remove)? Does it matter which fitting on the radiator cooler I hook the feed line to? Do I do anything to clean the radiator cooler before I hook it up? Thanks

I prefer to run the temp gauge into the cooler feed line. (front line)

hey dave, when you put the drain plug in...where did you drill the hole. Earlier this week, i drilled the hole to the right of the magnet. Then the drain plug was hitting the gov pressure solenoid. So i had to order a new tranny pan.
Or did it come with a drain plug?

If you owned a 46re and were going to rebuild it what upgrades would you do so
that it would last longer and handle towing on a regular basis?
Sonax sure cure kit?
The Gm govenor solenoid?
Aftermarket Torque converter?
Aftermarket clutches? What brand Raybestoes? Borg Warner High Energy?
Alto Red Eagle clutches with Kolene steels?
Would you change any hardware internally other then what I already mentioned?
Plastic accumulator to aluminum?
Thanks Dave
