Having 2-3 shift overlap - Thinking of switching from 4.2 apply lever to 3.8 - Any Other Thoughts?
Hi guys,
I'm in the middle of lots of maintenance items on my Barracuda, one of which is addressing the 2-3 shift overlap clunk. We built this tranny (727) several years ago (2015) and it's still running strong but has the nasty 2-3 overlap clunk only when under very light throttle conditions.
It's currently got a 4.2 lever in it with I believe to be 12 springs, but possibly 15. I can't remember and my old photos don't show what we loaded for springs.
It's also got a reverse manual valve body with billet servos, heavy duty bolt-in sprag, etc.
I've been reading through the threads quite a bit and it seems like swapping a 3.8 into it might be good idea. I should probably also check the adjustment on the band today. From what I've read, that should be around 1.75 turns out for the 4.2 and 2 turns for the 3.8, correct?
Also, I have a 4400 stall and mainly street driven.
Thanks!
