Tranny guy has my 4R100 apart. I sheared the splines off of the 2nd gear sprag plus all the clutches in the tranny were down to bare metal. No signs of overheating (I asked) just overpowered it. Although my stock planetaries are ok he recommended I change all 3 planetaries with those from a turbo diesel as they are steel and have more pinion gears. Expy planetaries use aluminum frame?! and 3 pinion gears. He plans to use the stronger racing clutches etc... When all is said and done it should be as a beefed up turbo diesel tranny.

I am also having him go through the transfer case while its out to check for wear. I am getting a 2000-2400 stall converter while I am at it.

I know this sounds mean but I'm glad to hear about the second gear problem. That means you have one helasious engine in that thing.

Was told the turbo diesel uses 4 clutch sprag vs 3 in the expy so it will have additional clutch.
