automatic uprating
Hi folks
im having my type 3 automatic gear box uprated to handle a subaru engine the guy say's he wil mig weld all the vains in the torque converter and fit
a stronger stator
he will fit a 4 planetary gear to replace the stock 3 gear planetary and fit bigger clutches will this be enough to handle 145 BHP or is there other
things i should be asking him to do?
ihope you can help i dont know much about these gear boxes and i can only afford to do this once so i dont want to be ripped off
the 2 boxes i have have different markings on them whats the difference between the boxes and which would be the best one to have modified
oh forgot to say this auto box is going in my splitty thats why i need the extra power
cheers phil

Look up and PM a member called Seagull in WA. There isn't anything he hasn't done to a
Type 3 auto box (sorry that's a bit personal isn't it!) He's probably the best one to talk to
on here and a good bloke too!
Cheers,
Martin.
P.S. smart move - it is many the type 3 box that has been chewed to chunks by the extra torque!
