I would like to get any ideas about making my trans a little stronger than stock,, i do not want to have to worry about,,. Not really sure which one i have but it is a 318 truck 4 wheel drive. The pan is square with a corner cut off. The truck was bought with a bad rod , I only drove it a few miles before it let go the trans seemed ok in that short amount of time but the fluid is dark, and the truck had sat for about 5 years before i got it. should i just reseal it and a new torque converter,, is there a better converter to use,. I have the trans on my bench right now , will start taking it apart in a day or so..

 

i would put a shift kit into the trans, it will shifter harder with the it, but thats better for it and will make it last longer

 

isnt that just removing a spring or check ball?

 

No.


Install a Transgo Shift Kit. Get an oversized torque converter for the added velocity. Don't do rebuilt converters.

You need to find out what that trans is?

 

can you tell what the trans is by the number on the case?

 

I know im a little late but if u havent done anything yet try out Dirtydogperformance.com Alan is a real good guy hes been in the tranny business for many years. I like to use "The Sure Cure" by Sonnex there the best in my mind it solve all the problems with the engagements and the flow problem as well

 

Yes,

It should be on the drivers side.

 

One word. Saine.
