I was pretty drunk last night, but your still not understanding I think.

If the compressed height of the spring is 1", 1/3 of that is .3334" which is the height you should not exceed with the shim for a 2" uncompressed spring. Blah.

2"spring means >.3334" shim.

Re: 98 teg auto
 

so whatever the spring compresses to is 3x the shim height, basically

Oh, sweet jesu. :S

Re: 98 teg auto
 

if im not mistaken the shims cause a harsher shift getting rid of that clutch slippage the factory uses to make the shift feel smoother, which may provide some extra life to the trans. As far as raising pressures if i remember correctly its usually through the gasket for the valve body changing the orifices that are located for the shift valves, which u can usually buy gaskets modified for such a purpose. I have never teared into a honda *auto* trans tho :1

Re: 98 teg auto
 

Your half right. Accumulators are act as the cushion for the shift and as a pressure bypass. Valve body clearance (gasket thickness) only deals with orifice size/shape and really only affects pressure on that circuit.

Shimming or stalling the accumulators increases clutch holding pressure and reduces shift time, which reduces heat our enemy in the automatic tranny.

Long story short, barring the unavoidable physical weaknesses in the bands, sprags and sunshell, the more pressure we run and the more heat we remove from the fluid the more torque capacity we gain.

Soft shifting/low fluid pressure is the #1 reason why Honda transmission self destruct.

Re: 98 teg auto
 

to throw 2 pennies in... some people use the amsoil atf instead of honda atfz1 and seems to help. most honda auto trannies fail once you boil the fluid. can be because you our a cheap ass or a vag and don't know crap lol. a quick search on bobistheoilguy.com forum can provide you with users of the amsoil atf in hondas

Re: 98 teg auto
 

---- your 2 pennies nig nig. Everyone else is talking about fluid pressure, not temp. This is HMT, we are all cheap asses. I know "crap" fag, check out bobisb20xsguyfrienduptheass.com. I'm too drunk for this ----.

Is it wrong for a noob like me to call this retard a noob?

------- retard :1

Re: 98 teg auto
 

Amsoil is the exact same ---- you can buy at the toyota dealership for their factory transmissions. Nothing special about it. Just clean synthetic ATF.

Amsoil = money racket.

Did you not read any of this post?
