Nonsense !!!! The "tech" probably believes that the delayed clutch engagement will cause the clutches to wear...we're only talking fractions of a second delay. In fact, the factory reduced the size of the front clutch feed orifice in the VB separator plate in '71 to eliminate overlap, the orifice plug does the same thing but further downstream.


Interesting info about the reduced size in the front clutch feed orifice for 1971.
I understood from what the Superior tech said that the orifice plug I am installing in the front clutch passage on the aluminum case could somehow restrict flow of fluid and cause the direct clutches to slip due to a reduced apply pressure but I hope that would not be the case...???
