just wanted some oppinions from everyone on some low budget ways to beef up my tranny for towing and everyday use,thanks guys/girls.

 

Which auto tranny ya got???

 

I would atleast get a good aftermarket Valve Body and a Torque Conveter.

Suncoast
ATS
BD

Those are just a few. Give me a call sometime and we can discuss your options.

 

a good converter valve body pressure up just a little and depending on year a clutch upgrade

 

47re

 

how many miles on the trans and have you had any issues. if your trying to beef up a tranny with issues its not a good idea.

 

128,000 roughly,overhauled it at about 70,000 and this month put in new bands,governor sylinoid & switch and i change the fluid & filter every 10,000 miles just to be safe.i read somewhere there is ways to increase the pressures or boxes to help with shift points, any ideas?

 

Transgo Shift Kit will help increase the pressure and give you firmer shifts. That and a good Single or Triple Disc Converter.

 

Lukes Diesel how often do you reccomend adjusting the bands 47re ? I have one with 140000 on it . I am the third owner an trucks never been pulled hard no goseneck . I pull small farm equipment ocasianally an general farm use . The truck just seems very mushy when it shifts under load an even empty for that matter . But it dozen't slip an will lockup
when it finnally gets to third . I have serviced it no metal in the pan . The trans shop talked me out of adjusting bands . I'm thinking we should have an maybe replaced the govenor . What say you as Bill Oriley would say ?
