ATS Pump Kit

[Mike L.]

I run the ATS valve and spring only in the pump and I really have to beat on it to make it reach 200 degrees.

Stock valve or hollow valve?

To be honest I cant remember if it was, I'm leaning towards it wasn't. I remember Randy getting his and it was different than mine was and I thought it was cause his was
hollow.

I can remember talking about that when we were looking at all of the parts and pieces.

Stock valve or hollow valve?

I'm 99% sure mine was hollow. But I haven't looked at it for awhile.

Stock valve or hollow valve?

I got mine a year before Randy got his. I originally was only going to use the spring and thought, hey no cut back in 5th gear cant be a bad thing. As I watched my temp gauge keep climbing! At that point I wasn't about to pull the trans back out as I already did from a faulty ML(converter clutch dragging) on my back again so I made it work.

Running 300/325 mainline pressure will ring groove the front rotating assembly pretty bad and start losing pressure to C1/C2. Special mods need to be made to correct this.

What kind of temps are you seeing?

about 210-215 in stop and go low speed. less if I'm over 30ish cause the tcc is locked then but still up around 190-200

Do you think I should take it apart and take a look? Probably has 5,000 miles or less on it.

You have any idea how much pressure my lbz was running in 5th with the ats pump kit and converter flow valve with the red spring? I was always curious. I suppose you wouldn't say what the special mods are would you to help from ring grooving If not I understand!
