Re: Advise On Modifications
When you load the C4, all the force is against the rear of the case. There is a thrust washer in that position that is not well lubricated. With a trans-brake I would suggest you replace that thrust washer with a thrust bearing kit from Broader Performance. It is the #9 thrust bearing kit. It comes with a new inner race for the one way clutch and the bearing. all you have to do is install it and then recheck your end-play when you get the transmission assembled again.
If you don't do anything to the #9 thrust washer it is likely to spin, breaking the tabs that are supposed to hold it in place, and ruining the case. I would also recommend an extra clutch in the forward and direct clutch packs and the use of at least an "A" servo. The "H" servo is better and the best is the rare "C" servo.
More than that would depend on the amount of HP that your engine produces but those mods should be good for up to 400 - 500HP.
