700r4 3-4 clutch
OK, from second look at fluid and taking tranny out I find the 3-4 clutch pack is most likely fried, will find out tmrw hopefully, I"m doing this myself...
well I bought the clutches and when taking valve body apart and starting to read up on this thing, I find a 3-4 clutch accumulator valve, piston with spring....I"m wondering if I should take that spring out, making the shift harder.....into 3 and 4 gears.....I know from previous tranny experiences years ago that cutting or removing/blocking the accumulator valve would sharpen hell out of the shift.....any ideas anyone????
Thanks...

I am afraid that modifying the accumulator may lead to a failure if you do not beef up the clutch pack. I am afraid that there is a weakness to the design. Maybe someone else can give us more info if they have tried this modification. :eek:
