A farpac gasket came with my BTE pan. When I freshened my trans, I got a reseal/gasket kit and the gasket that was in it was in a felpro package, and happened to look EXACTLY like the farpac I had from before....

Neither have leaked, ever.....but I also didn't grease them before I installed them, I put them on dry...when the pan comes off they usually are stuck to the case or pan and it requires me prying the pan off to get them separated.

I purchased one of these tapered pans. Its a really nice piece. The only problem is if you have a different style valve body it doesn't work. I have the billet FTI valve body and the filter adapter doesn't work. Even if you remove the damper the filter still hits the front of the pan. Just and FYI check to see if your valve body is compatible with the pan.

Buy a TSR filter adapter with high flow brass filter. Mill the adapter at the correct angle, it's billet aluminum.

How I'd do it anyway.

Waste of time and $ that provides no performance advantage, no service life advantage in your car but hey, it’s yours to waste.

If your data looks like this it'll fix it. If your pressure don't drop you're good.

This car only goes 1.10 - 1.15 60ft.

My choices for pans with a baffle were Sonnax or Hughes and at my HP level I felt the cast pan would add some strength to the case so I choose Hughes.

My trans pressure is extremely stable at both ends of the track now, not showing any cavitation.

This car leaves real pretty, wheely bar a few inches off the ground. It's probably when the tire grabs it accelerates real hard and the oil crawls up the back of the case behind the valve body, uncovering the pickup a hair for a split second. It might go a little better 1.10 so it's no rocket ship.

But you can see there's room for improvement in the graph. He ordered one. Runs a Hughes converter too, so it's a natural fit, he didn't hesitate once I made the suggestion. Made sense to him looking at the data.

True, Then why do you judge the man. It's none of your business is it?

Not judging, stating my opinion based on experience and it becomes everyone’s “business” once you post on an internet forum.

I put my other deep pan back on the trans. I'm good to go now. ready for the fling.

S/C 718. TSR sells a baffle that you can weld in your pan you already have.

How would you know C-cup, you don't build transmissions?

Or engines.

Do you think the line pressure dropping causes the slight dip in the rpm around 1 second in to the run?

No sir, might be aerating the oil though. That'll take the life out of the unit. It could look like its got 1000 laps on it, and only actually has 150 or 50.

That's the converter grabbing the engine, you can improve that a little lowering the converter pressure possibly, depending its pressure.

This gragh is from a really nice state of the art Chevy II.

Please post a run from data logger of after the pan change.

How's your graph look 329L? Can you post a photo?

I do not have one from my personal stuff, and the racer i have access to doesnt want his shared. What i will say is, we fixed that issue by raising pump pressure, we just figured that the converter was being "refilled" when it lays on the converter and thats why you get the drop in pressure.

The circle is a pressure drop at the servo cover, if you raised the line pressure, you tightened the converter by raising the converter pressure. You didn't affect a pressure drop at the servo by upping your converter pressure. The converter pressure is the aqua on this graph, converter pressure is nearly its highest in the middle of the pressure drop at the servo, so I'm not following your theory.

I'll ask the man if the pan worked to fix the pressure drop, and get a photo of the new graph evidencing results.
