Thanks Gary - all good

[HOLDAN]

i agree, if it's a decent dual or tripple plate stall the bigger the better especially if towing.

i can lock mine up at full throttle, so locking up at a lower speed with some weight on the back shouldnt be a problem.

Sounds like that's the go. You'll have to excuse my ignorance here - if it's say 5,000rpm stallie, then if I'm in stop start traffic for most of my driving, won't the transmission be slipping most of the time?

The stall will be but not the transmission. The slipping will be causing torque multiplication and heat. Hence the need for a transmission cooler (or even a standard auto)

Just got a single plate. Works well.

i'll get a video of mine for you holdan, you'd be surpised to even think it had a stall in it the way i have it programmed.

I got my hands on the Caddy trans filter today, it is extended and sits 8mm off the bottom... so the factory Caddy pan and filter will suit most people, all I have to do is make a baffle for them and extend the oil level tube if your going to race it.

Sorry gaz, does the caddy filter sit 8pm from the bottom standard or is that with your extension.

[HOLDAN]

No worries - thanks. I have a PWR tranny cooler istalled.

Thanks - that would be great.

8mm off the bottom is standard Rocket, its light years ahead of the VE pan and filter.

Sounds great, but why wouldn't they have just used the caddy pan then, why make a VE one?

At a guess, ground clearance, it is 30mm lower but thats not an issue really, lots of things lower than the pan, the VE items would be cheaper to manufacture.

[etrocket]

Can someone list the item codes for the caddy pan and filter. Also how much are they roughly

[cashie]

It sounds like the caddy option is a goer, what's the way ahead Wonky and Gaz??
Thanks to you all for your work to date.

[Tre-Cool]

Thanks - that would be great.

Couple of vids as promised. it's a bit jittery as i was holding the camera and unfortunatly the go-pro has shit night vision but you'll get the jist of it.



Locked WOT 3-4 shift - I ease into it to prevent wheelspin.
