Here is an update on the C4 that is holding up the drivetrain.
I'm starting out with all Alto Red racing clutches, Kolene coated steels, and a Kevlar lined intermediate band.
The direct or high gear drum has been trued and refinished. Then I drilled relief vents in the clutch area of the drum. This will help release the band and apply the clutches quicker for a better 2-3 shift. I added 1 clutch fiber and steel for a total of 5 and set the clutch clearance to a nice tight .025".
The forward clutches have also been clearanced to .025" with 5 clutches and steels. I don't think this application will warrant welding the peanut slots in the face of the hub, which is usually done when lots of cubic inches are combined with big boost or lots of NOS.
I have also finished the stator for the pump. The plug is drilled out of the housing, followed by removing the 2 check balls and spring. I tapped the hole to 1/8th pipe and installed a brass plug. The plug is not install too deep where it restricts the outlet and then filed to shape.
