I also replace all the bushings and thrust washers, multi spring retainer as shown before, and I buy my kit's from Mancini, MRE 006 has the blue plates and kolene steel also a kevlar intermediate band (don't use it with a aluminum drum)use the 999 high gear drun and you will have to have the back of the pump machined for clearance, reenforced band strut and do the oiling mod's that I believe are in the tech section or the archives,, and also keep the line pressure up if you use the TA valve body it has only about 125# of line pressure, need to get that up around 150# or a little more,
A@A has a spring you can replace on the VB that will up the pressure and greatly improve the action of the VB and clamps the clutches harder.
