Rated up to 15 psi of engine boost. Still operates as an automatic. Limiting factor is that the Vacuum Modulator controls line pressure and at around 15psi, late full boost 2-3 shifts occur. 2nd is the Full Manual P-R-N-3-2-1 with 4th activated by a 12V switch when in 3rd. Limiting factor are now transmission internals. Finally is the Transbrake. Same as the Full Manual except Transbrake is available in 1st. Upgrade Parts:VASCO Plus Input and Intermediate Shaft Set Billet Intermediate Servo/Piston Set Billet Over Drive Piston Cast Alloy Pan- must have with transbrake Multi Friction Over Drive Clutch Hub- unsure if your model would need this. We believe this was only used in Australian Market. Paul keas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMeyerhoff Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Do you know what the billet servos run? I believe the purpose of the billet piece is it can hold more fluid than the stock unit and apply more pressure to the band. Its also good to know a upgrade shafts are out there.

Indiana Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 KEAS is no more, sold almost a year ago I think it was. http://www.alsraceglides.com.au/parts.html This is a popular tranny in AU and it is not weak, its just that in this car they are 20+ years old and were burned out 15 years ago. KEAS had stage III kits to hold to 900hp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 There is supposed to be some guy that is still going to continue doing the work that KEAS did. That site has been that way for a long time, not working. You need to be searching with the terms jatco, 3n71b, 4n71b, turbo, manaul valve body, transbrake stuff like that and its all over in AU not here. They will sell you the parts and ship you just have to build the tranny yourself. There are no special tools required to rebuild this tranny, its all in the service manual. You just use high quality or OEM steel and friction plates in the rebuild, there are kevlar bands from someone too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I got this when I was quoting, what do I turn off to directly copy a post? This car ran the same with any rear gear and turbo, actually the best with the 17C? WOW! Gears did not help the et. Not even the 60'. Did the 19C take a bit more to rev, I mean it is only a mm larger inducer than the 17C if I remember right. nice to know but is this comon?
