How To Log Transmission Pressure on a DSM

Hey, Joe here! In this video, I show how I log my front and rear clutches in my DSM Automatic Transmission.

Another good video sir

Thanks for watching!

Really beast build

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks!

If you don't mind making a suggestion and hopefully this will help you out. What about using remote lines, put -4an 90s off the ports and mount the sensors on a block or separate brackets which also would be less vibration on the sensors.

[@JoeWrenches]

That was an option. Decided to try this first.

Being that I was just talking about pressures on Facebook recently, I felt there should've been a dedication to me being mentioned somewhere in this video 😂

[@JoeWrenches]

Hahaha! Sorry I left you out Scott!

Hey Joe, I noticed you no longer appear running the cooler in/out to the RD port near the pan that you routed in a previous video. What was the reason for that? I am building my first W4A33 and your tips and tricks have been really helpful.

[@JoeWrenches]

I found out I need a restrictor on the line that returns to the pan to maintain proper converter pressure with that mod so I removed it for now. The mod is for people who are having heat related planetary issues and I'm not even seeing those kind of issues yet.

[@ttpgarage]

Awesome video Joe as always 👍🏻. Quick question, So in one of your videos you was running a line from the trans, to the port on the side of the trans for the planetaries, then the other to the cooler and back into the pan. Are you no longer using that method? What changed?

[@JoeWrenches]

I decided to remove that as it can cause low pressure in the converter. The fix is to add a restrictor in the cooler circuit, but I opted to go back for now.

[@291715]

Good stuff. No longer using the rd port for planetary lubrication?

[@JoeWrenches]

Not for now. Thanks for watching!

[@Chris_King3]

The cheese was on it!

[@JoeWrenches]

Oh Fo Sho

[@john-martin]

So "FC" means Rear Clutch and "RC" means Front Clutch? I would think it would be the other way around

[@JoeWrenches]

No, FC is front clutch and RC is rear clutch. I must have misspoke somewhere. Looks like I plugged them in right 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@whoismario]

Fun fact, its not a good idea to google POV videos in google on your work computer. You never know what might come up. LoL

[@JoeWrenches]

Hahaha

[@profiesy]

timing belt looks loose

[@JoeWrenches]

It's tensioned for horsepower.
