Learning to listen!! Valvebody from DUSTY!

[scottstoy]

Ok ya'll i'm almost 40yrs old now and i have finally begun to begin to listen to others advice. It is hard to do sometimes but I have decided after all the mistakes I have personally made in my life , that I am going to try to take others advice even if I think I can do it better, there has to be benefits from listening to others and learning from their mistakes or expiriences rather than making them on your own.
Anyways maybe i'm rambling on but today I ordered a valbody from Dusty at HTC trannys, and I sure hope this works out well, i was going to put a Transgo shift kit in my QCs tranny to improve and hopefully extend the life of my tranny but so many friends on here told me not to do it that I finally said, OK, I will take their advise and call DUSTY, so next weekend i will putting in the new valebody and GM conversion selinoid, and changing the fluid and filter, thanks to all, I am finally growing up!!!

I'd be real careful about assuming anyone's advice on here is gonna help you grow up...LOL!!! J/K of course, there's some good souls on this site, and some well...like me... Keep us posted on your mod!

Why did you dicide to get a new valve body? Any isseus with the tranny? How many miles on truck? I am asking because I just sent my tranny out to get work, and eveyone said(not on this site)that it was the second gear band. It turned out to be the 3 and 4 bands also, and the drum had to be replaced, there was sh!t all through the fluid. Just a little heads up.

I really have not had any troubles out of the tranny, just seems to be shifting a little slow sometimes, i have 47000 miles on it and never changed oil or anything so i thought i would change the oil, new valvebody, filter, and GM conversion selinoid and see how it feels , then get the computor flashed and give her hell!!:rock:

Get the valve body, the billet 2nd gear accumulator, the diesel spring that goes with it, and stiff 2nd gear band servo return spring. Those items will help with the 2-3 overlap quite a bit, and you can do all of them without removing the tranny. If you go this route, be prepared to do some fine tuning. Out of the box, the thing will shift like a drag car. You might need to tweak the pressure line pressure and adjust the TV cable until you can tolerate it.

Excellent advice,I also am putting all of Dusty Hawks- HTS Transmissions parts in my tranny too so it will hold up to the new engine build!:rock:

I'm babbying the snot out of mine and putting off my vortech install until I get the parts that WOT is speaking so well of. Right now I've got to give it a bit more pedal. I cant drive around with very light throttle. It's giving me those tell tail signs of destruction that i've come to enjoy with this thing. So, I can't drive too soft, or too hard but I'm finding a happy median and putting more miles on it than ever.......... I don't believe in jink's and all that, but I sure hope i didn't just jinks myself

Remember that hard shift your going to get is bad on ujoints more gooder on the transmission though. Try to replace them with some brute force heavy duty jobs.
