[Fot] Increasing OD pressure

[Allen Washatko]

Chuck,
Try Quantum Mechanics - John Esposito (203) 459-9612. He is a British 
transmission and O/D expert. He can rebuild your O/D to full race 
specs. He is reasonable, honest and a very helpful guy. To shift faster 
you will need to drill out the oil passages to increase the pressure 
and you should install upgraded clutch packs. There are several 
bearings that also need to be changed to handle the higher level of 
stress. I'm running about 600 lbs. of pressure in mine and it shifts 
very quickly!
