Furnace brazed fins - greatly improves the strength characteristics [...]
Transmission Components: Torque Coverters and Stall Speed
September 24th, 2009
Essentially speaking the torque converter in an automatic transmission takes the place of a clutch in a manual transmission. An explanation of stall speed will help you understand how it works. Read it carefully.
Stall speed — The rpm that a given torque converter (impeller) has to spin in order for it to overcome a given [...]

Rebuilt Transmissions: It’s the small things that count…
August 31st, 2009
One method transmission manufacturers use to deliver the automatic transmission fluid from the valve body to the band servo assemblies, or to flood transmission fluid on the critical lubrication areas are called “delivery tubes”. They are not used on every transmission though. In fact the most common way to transfer fluid is through pre-machined passage [...]
Transmissions: What does a band look like?
August 31st, 2009
Here is a look at two different types of bands. Both perform the same types of duties and work in a similar manner. We discussed what bands are and how they work in a previous article we did on bands and their part in making transmissions shift. I wanted to show you what the two [...]
Transmissions: Thrust washer introduction…
August 29th, 2009
Lets discuss what we call “thrust washers” inside 99% of all automatic transmissions. Thrust washers are buffers, made out of softer metals than the sufaces they are protecting. They protect by being a buffering agent between two hard metal surfaces that are not supposed to touch.

Technical Data: Dodge TF-A604 / 41TE
August 15th, 2009
The Torque Flight A604 Dodge transmission, (designated the 41TE in Chrysler talk), came out in 1989 and has turned into one of the most reliable front wheel drive transmissions on the market. Partly due to factory upgrades and partly through the after market. Even the chronic leaky axle seal problem can be cured now.
The 41TE [...]
Transmission Theory-2: How your T-400 works.
August 13th, 2009
Lets discuss how a General Motors T-400 transmissions and how they operate on a simplified basis. Although it uses different components to produce some of the gear ranges in terms of transmission theory than the 3 speed TF727 transmission, the end result is an automatic transmission with 3 forward speeds.
1. When you put the vehicle [...]
Transmission Theory-1: How your transmission works…
August 13th, 2009
Talk about the seven wonders of the world, well we have eight wonders, they forgot to include or add automatic transmissions. An automatic transmission is truly a wonder in terms of theory and engineering. It is much like the human body, meaning it has a variety of systems that should operate in harmony to produce [...]
