rcapone Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Unsure what's causing the issue, so I bought a new trans that my tech's getting started on rebuilding tomorrow - Modded intermediate drum w/36 element sprag, 34 element overdrive, billet shaft, Coan low planet gears, transgo hd2 and alto red eagle performance rebuild kit w/kolene steels. Just curious if anyone has good or hopefully not bad experience with those alto red eagles?? Here's the rebuild kit I bought off ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191289795885?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT And here's the intermediate drum & sprag: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171631165039?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Take a look at this beauty out of a '95 GMC 2500 Edited March 28, 2015 by L8ERBRO (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003_SuperSport Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Just curious if anyone has good or hopefully not bad experience with those alto red eagles?? I currently am running red eagle clutches in my 65E and no problems yet and by no means am I easy on her... My stock clutches were burnt up before we rebuilt the trans... Those Alto's claim to hold good up to 230' temps, so unless your tranny is boiling hot you should be good... I built my tranny over 5 years ago, once we got her back together I filled her up with some good ole Oreily's ATF and a bottle of Lubegard friction modifier and no problems yet...

rcapone Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Thanks James, I needed a little assurance that I chose a good rebuild kit! It's good to hear those alto's can withstand some heat too just in case. Since I installed my 40k, my temps stay around 130 cruising down the highway and usually no more than 175 max when it's hot out. I can't say I'm a fan of the Borg Warner high energy's that were in my 2 FLTs since I roasted the fist set with cool tranny temps and this one is already slipping right out of the box. I really have my fingers crossed I'll get it right this time so I can enjoy my ride instead of having to worry about the trans slipping.

bigreds10 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I'm gonna be running alto reds, billet shafts (input and intermediate), 36 element intermediate sprag drum and the billet intermediate pressure plate, and forward clutch hub 4340 alloy .....hopefully it will hold together Along with my 408 and ls3 tvs2300 with cog gears. ... hopefully make good power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcapone Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 The rest of my parts for my 80e resurrection came in yesterday Custom made intermediate drum and 36 element sprag - supposedly rated for 2000+ rwhp, not that I'll ever get there but more is always better IMO!
