Interesting thoughts and observations on OD transmissions

OD and lockup both are able to engage only after the trans is in 3rd gear.
They both get their apply oil from the active 3rd gear circuit.




Thats odd.
My switches are adjustable and I have 3.55 gears in the back.
To me the rpms of the shifts are more important than the speed, and I like 2,000 - 2,500 or so.
About the same for the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts.

Maybe I should do a video of it out on the road just for fun.
Although for now lockup is manual on or off since that pressure switch is dead and currently bypassed.

Yeah, 2000 rpm makes sense. Assuming a 26 inch tire, the math says you're at 2050 rpm at 65 mph when after the converter locks, so probably around 2300 under light acceleration at 65 mph. Is your torque converter stock?

Those 3.55's must be nice! The 3.23 is way low (high?) for me, but I just picked up another center section and will be putting in a set of 3.73 gears.

I would love to see a video. Maybe I'll get my car out tomorrow and do a video too (it's raining today).
