After doing all sorts of mods to the Prado engine wise it was time to play with the auto...
I find the auto changes a little slow at times when you don't want it too and also reading up on the net tweaking the valve body's can help with better changes, less friction as it slips less and less heat.... Got to be good.....
There are some quick fixes where by you pack up the springs in the accumulators but that's really only half the story.....
A few re builders is the states use these kits or similar with the Supra's and AW4 auto's in the Jeeps with good results and still use the std friction linings....
So I ordered one! And it arrived last week....
And.....Well I got bored and started putting in the valve body upgrade kit...
So it was off with the pan and let it drip dry...
Here is the valve body, will let it drip dry and pull it apart during the week...
It gets new balls !, gets some removed... Some holes in the plate get drilled out to allow better flow...And also some new rated springs.
The accumulators below get new springs and rods....
The kit comes with great instructions with photo's....So with paitence any one could do this...
It also helps the truck has a lift and sitting on 35's... Easy to work under.
So far its only take me about an hour......
Will add more as I progress...
