Too Much Time
Ok guys I have 2 separate questions for 2 different trucks.
First question on on a 98 12v with a full billet full manual 47re. When I am driving this truck down the road it drives good under normal crushing power besides shifting 2-3 which I'm guessing is just a bind shift and the band needs adjusting. Now when you really get down in it and lock the converter it feels like it is slipping, this is a brand new billet triple disk converter with less than 10 miles on it and the trans. I do remember when I put the trans in, the converter was stamped 48re so I messaged the guy that built the trans and got the converter from and he said it would be fine and I'm beginning to think there is something going on with that. My main question is, is it ok to run a 48re converter in a 47re trans?
My other question is I have a 06 cummins with EFI, well the same guy above build this trans as well. The first time he built it it ran and shifted perfect. I broke the input in it and took it back to him and it ran and shifted perfect after that as well. So now the 3rd time the trans just quit pulling, I took it to him and he went threw it all and I had him put a billet input shaft and a triple disk converter. I got the truck back and it feels like every gear, besides lockup, is not pulling to its full potential. I'm not sure what is going on there. Low gear is sluggish but when the converter locks it throws your head back. Any suggestions for this?
