Jasons new trans has been recond and is on its way home thanks a heap to our guru Brent 8 (6 is std) clutches in the Low/reverse pack, 7 (5 is std) in the front pack and 5 in the direct clucth pack (2 is std), custom steel direct clutch hub, the bands are kevlar (more hp capability and heat tolerance) torrington bearings throughout instead of nylon shim washers, the main servo assembly is a billet oversize one, the valvebody is a full manual unit. the converter has been cut open, cleaned and a new sprag fitted and welded back up. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
