If that is so I would expect to derate the torque limits by some percentage when installed in a vehicle with the ability to load the transmission more ie. four wheel drives used offroad or a vehicle set up for a drag racing application. Any input you have on this would be appreciated. Your knowledge of these transmissions is amazing, and I wish I lived closer so I could have you rebuild one for me thus giving me piece of mind that I had the job done right. Back in the day my GTO would destroy a T400 every 18 to 24 months. Up side was I never had to service a tranny.  |
I stated a torque limit on a stock Delco SunShell at 350 ft.lbs., That's at the wheels.
In a serious wheeler or drag racer.....Run a Sonnax Smart Shell & Sleeve the Input Drum. I didn't cover many performance modifications in this thread.
