Clutch Packs And What Else?


Recommended Posts

i am having my buddy throw a torque converter in my truck and shift kit. while its out he is putting in the beast sunshell, 2nd gear vette servo and forward pinless acc. piston. is there anything else i should do while its out? i was thinking of doing the clutch packs is this worthwhile and what is the best brand to go with and where is it the cheapest??? is it a very hard project? also should i do the reverse acc piston also or anything else while its out. im not looking to break the bank but id like to do it right while its out. please list anything else that should be done that will help it hold up. also refilling fluid with the bg synthetic. was told it was the best fluid i could get for the tranny. all info is appreciated. please include price range and where i can buy parts if anything else is needed? also for the clutch packs is the red alto ones best or the zpacks? thank you in advance. also tranny only has 50,000 on it.

What mods are done to the truck? What is the power level?

 

 

mods are.. obx long tube headers, no cats, magnaflow dual exhaust, s and b cold air intake, throttle body spacer, ported and polished throttle body, msd 8.8 ignition wires, zex spark plugs, wheatley performance tune, 2800 stall torque converter, beast sunshell, transgo hd2-c shift kit, forward pinless acc piston, and vette 2nd gear servo

 

truck is 03 silverado ss awd 4.10 gears

 

was wondering if i should do anything else tranny wise? i was looking at the clutch pack kit that had the bands and the kolene steels in it. please let me know what the best thing i should do is of if its not worth the labor or parts for current mods. truck only has 50,000 on it so i wasnt looking for a complete overhaul but if i do something once i like to do it right...

 

this is my daily driver i want the most bang for the buck but i need it to stay reliable.
