    9-11 converter

    I know this is an OLD thread but question. Did the 9-11 converter from PTS back in the 2002 era, come with an anti-ballooning plate in it?

    40,000 Mile Seats from My Show Car.

    I read some people claim that Dexron VI synthetic is "too slippery" and it can cause clutch slippage. Is that claim true? The 2004R transmission was NOT designed for Type F fluid from the factory. While this shouldn't cause issues with the clutches since Type F is high in friction modifiers. I...

    If changing trans fluid types, one can never remove ALL the trans fluid since the converter always stores fluid. Is it OK to have some Type F with Dexron VI fluid? I bet the valves in the valvebody prefer DExron Vi as the 2004R valve body was designed for Dexron and not Type F. The Type F might...

    Is Dexron 6 Synthetic trans fluid a good fluid for 2004Rs?

    Running B&M TrickShift but I have a hard time reading the dipstick as it's clear. Going to add some Lucas Semi-Synthetic Dexron/Mercon to tint it red. Is it OK to mix the 2 fluids? We are talking maybe 1-2 quarts of the Dexron.

    No manual 2-3 up shift at WOT

    Also, is it better to leave the transmission in Drive or Overdrive when you do a 1/4 mile run?

    New Molnar 6.350 narrow journal on center rods $575

    Where should the trans fluid level be sitting inside of the transmission? Just above the filter? Just below the valvebody? I'm trying to line up the dipstick tube with the proper oil level in the pan.

    Who sells this gauge pod? Not crazy for the 3 pod A pillar style.

    The trans pressure goes to like 250+ when in Manual 1st or 2nd, no matter the engine RPM. While in Drive it is dependent on the TV cable being pulled out. The band is engaged when shifting 1-2 so the higher the line pressure, the better the band engagement around the drum.

    Does Manual mode boost line pressure and help grab the band and engage the clutches better than Drive mode?
