very interesting
in what position should the pistons be locked och what is the best way to lock them?
does one have to be a rocket scientist to find the ports in the valve body or does it become obvious when you take it apart?
You need to know what to drill, there are lots of holes in the valve body plate.
In this picture, the two circled in red would be for the 1-2 shift and then the 2-3 shift, those holes would be drilled a bit larger, but not bigger than the checkball unless you plan to remove the ball.
I locked my accumulators so that they had ~ 1/8th of an inch or about 2mm of movement down. You can use anything.
sounds good but what different does it make in reality?
Sooner the line pressure is up the more pressure is applied to keep the clutches engaged, the less likely it is to slip as much. its the slipping in between shifts thats partially responsible for wearing the transmissions out at higher power levels.

aah well, text is better than nothing
most swedes are too stupid to realize the benefits of an automatic transmission = the general knowledge is very low over here
Well, after spending some time looking at the AW7X transmissions, more to satisfy my own curiosity, I've come to the conclusion that most people want nothing to do with asin transmissions. Not sure why really, they're great transmissions and have a lower friction design than most GM transmissions.
The A341e from the 960 is the same basic transmission as the mk4 supra turbo, if one made a bellhousing for that, you could put that transmission behind a redblock, after some modifications it could hold a lot of power.[/quote]
Hey!
Searched the net for info on my ZF (4HP 22) automatic gearbox when I came across thiss thread.
I got the feelin' that you guys know what you're talking about so I thought I'd drop you a few questions:
The ZF Aut.Gb. from my -88 745 TIC, is it good or anus? I know the manual ZF gearboxes are pretty good but have no info on the automatics.
Is it possible to "prepp" the ZF in the same fassion as the AW 71 according to this thread?
If not, dare I use it original behind a 300hp B230ET in a 800kg(aprox 1700 pounds) heavy Triumph Spitfire?
Can i do anything else to make the gearbox last longer?
Any usefull info is accepted.
Thanx!
