Valve Bodies
High horsepower engines require modifications to their power
train to prevent the transmissions from failing. A stock transmission
has limited clutch material and its holding ability can be improved by
increasing the amount of clutch apply pressure by reworking the stock
valve body.
BD's original valve bodies had many modifications that resulted in some
odd shifting patterns that required a lot of special tuning to get the
shifts just right. In the fall of 2000 BD completely revised the modifications
of their valve body! A new manual valve was created, new springs and port
sizes have been developed, and new governor piston dimensions and adjustments
have been made. They have large ports for better flow rates to cool the
converter in lock up as well improving the time to evacuate the converter
for quicker clutch apply time. They also install new solenoids on all
valve bodies. Each valve body is then tested on BD's Answermatic 2000
tester before shipping.
Torque Convertors
BD’s new 7X torque convertor contains;
1. BD’s X stator that is machined from a solid piece of aluminum.
They manufacture 3 stator designs that have Fin length, Fin angle and
Fin curvature designed to meet the torque of the 5.9 Cummins, 140 to 200
rear wheel HP (stock) , 200 to 300 rear wheel Hp and for the 300 to 500 rear Hp
plus market.
2. A new double clutch surfaced piston was designed to replace the stock
single clutch surface to meet the engines torque of 850 lbs. Ft. and heavy
loads. It has been tested to 850 lbs. Ft. of torque when pulling a 19,000
lb. load up a 6% grade
3. A new heavy billet front cover was built for the double clutch surface
piston and to prevent the cover from over heating, warping and ballooning.
A special clutch mating surface was designed into the cover that results
in high torque holding power.

competition torque convertors require BD competition series transmissions
to handle the torque being transferred.
