Default Re: Clarification regarding 69 Turbo 400 verients

Lots of differences. You need the high shift point governor, impossible to find. You can trim some off your governor weights or use V12 Jag governor to raise your shift points. I think the CX was set to shift at 5,800 to 6,100rpm at WOT in Drive. Line pressure being raised will increase shift point with no other mods. Its a balance between governor weights, rpm and line pressure. Direct drum has 2 bleed off ball checks instead of 1 to speed dumping of oil and shift speed. A good machinist can easily add a ball check hole to a regular drum, you can also machine your drum plate to accept 1 more clutch plate. I think the L88 convertor is still available? Accumulator springs and valve body differences are numerous but a shift kit will take care of most of this. The link to the thread Bob posted has a lot of the differences. all the parts were listed in the sheets I sent to Ray Morrison. I have the CX and CY tags available for $29+ postage. Frank.
