Does anybody offer a 4l80e internal dual feed kit with the necessary gaskets, plug, seals that need to be replaced? Would I be better off buyin an hd2 and ommiting some of the parts? Id rather do the internal dual feed mod since I have a used trans and id like to take a look at the direct clutches anyway.

 

pretty sure jakes performance has a kit

 

Awesome i'll tear in to it and make sure the clutches are in good shape then shoot them a call. Thanks man.

 

I don't recal any special gaskets, plug a hole, leave out a couple seals. I forget exactly, it's been awhile.

 

Yep that is how you dual feed it.

 

Small modication i made was smothing out where that gasket goes to help with flow

 

^ Thats a great idea there. I'll have to try that mod.

 

Ya, mine is ground smooth also.



Plug

 

Is there a way to dual feed the directs without plugging that feed hole in the case? I was told by a local builder that the plug wasn't necessary...it told him it would cause a leak and he laughed at me. Trans lasted about 2 weeks and burnt the directs and intermediates.

 

How is that going to help with flow?

Why do you think that's a restriction? Where else in the circuit might there be a restriction? What does cutting that down do to circuit volume?

I know some builders like to do that mod. I avoid it but I'm posting to stir up the technical thinking and stop the monkey see/monkey do reason for mods.
