WOW
I went to the Trans shop that did the all of the original work and talked to him for a little bit. (Over the years they have done two PGs, one TH350 and 3 T400's and I have been happy with all of them).
I asked him the same question about upgrades and BRF and "whys I didn't" and "why I dids" the things I did.
Anyway the out come was that at the time I had the Trans done I didn't have enough money for a BRF body and supporting goods AND that I didn't need it.
Because My Trans is a "BQ" ? And even after I had installed a cheap (B&M) Shift kit. He went in there and made some his adjustments to it (him being familiar with the B&M kits).
Anyway he told right from the beginning of hour conversation that my problem all ways and has been the converter and if I had waited for one from the beginning I wouldn't have any doubts or upgrades questions about the Trans.
The bottom line is, he said he would order me a D5 with a HD Bearing and that I would be more then happy with the Trans. And he was right on the money.
Well after 9 years of getting the Trans done. (1 year on the road and 8 collecting dust) I am happy as a pig in ship.
I put this stuff just before I installed it today.
New front and rear seals
New O-ring on the Plug
New filter and gasket
And the new D5 with HD bearing
And it was like driving a completely deferent car.
I put it gear and NO more hard BUMP.
I drove it normal and it felt almost normal (strong second and third shift)
I stepped on it from a 15-20 roll and it just broke loose
I stepped on it from a dead stop (off of idle) and it almost instantly broke loose and it went thru first and second.
I took of hard but with no tire spin and when it shifted into second it chirped the tire and just took off.
This Trans never felt like this heck this set up never worked this good.
Tuesday they are getting breakfast on me.
I just want to go back out and just drive my car.
Anyway thanks guys for all of your help and advice.
Now I wonder what’s going to be my next issue
