Built Trans Outdated

[Chevy1925]

Grab Brian's bottle & spray it on the line! I hope you make it James. We need more trucks in the 12.50 class.

Sorry for the derail

I'm gonna get a kit coming in then will think about converters a lil more. I do like the sound of the 1055 if it couples well and has good street manners but allows me to stall a lil higher at the track.

Well after talking with Sean, im out for ABQ. its the same weekend as my wifes graduation. Sorry Blake, no joy ride

on a side note, id call mike or evan or suncoast and pick their brains. sometimes something get brought up in the convo that changes the course of original thinking. thats happened a few times with me

After chatting with him i know mike would recommend Transynd :thumb:
And after hearing why I was blown away

What's the reason? I've seen him say a couple times dex 3 is great.

Not to speak for him but he said that with Dex 3 if it gets hot once the entire additive package is gone but with transynd it can take repeated heat cycles and the additives will still be there.

Transynd held 500hp in my LMM for 20,000 miles (still running fine never limped) and at least 20 trips over 130mph.... That's right 500hp tune run thru all the gears. I wasn't nice to it at all. I knew I was upgrading to a Gmax in April, so I beat the shit out of my stocker.

Has many 8.50 passes on it.
NOT in ANY WAY saying transynd will substitute for a built trans.

I run ATF+4. That's what George @ Suncoast uses in his builds so it's good enough for me.

thats true with MANY other regular oils. if you run regular engine oil and push oil temps over 270-280* for any short period, you pretty much destroyed the oil in your motor. Synthetics hold up muuuuch better under high heat. part of the reason i run full syn in the motor over summer time and swap back to reg over winter time.

Do the suncoast gmax kits include all new bearings and bushings?

 

[meshanic]

No bearings. They come with the complete gasket kit but no bearings.

Edit: the 5-3 & 6-3 come with the gasket kit.

 

[SickLL7Crenshaw]

Intersting..

 

[mike diesel]

Bearings are cheap. $3-$4 each from allison. There are 6 or 7 torringtons iirc.

Exactly that's why I'm surprised suncoast don't include them in there kits.

 

[meshanic]

If they did I'd already have a life time supply. I hardly ever come across one that's bad.

But when one does go bad major carnage!

Ouch!! Is that yours?

 

[quinton]

Yep. I never heard it. First through 3rd gear where strong and then 4th would go straight to neutral

Very happy with the 1054 here. Running stock fuel / stock charger. Trans couples real well. From a dead stop let off the brake in gear and you are doing 5mph. Also couples awesome through the gears. Dhd lockup box works real well also. I have the Suncoast 6-3r kit in mine with mikes psi reg spring / 1 shim and mikes trim and shift valve springs. Trans is sweet.
