The Crusher Impala has been down the dragstrip multiple times but has never run the number. Freiburger and Dulcich troubleshoot transmission issues and more in the 1969 Chevy Impala that's powered by a supercharged 498ci big-block V8, then take it back to the track to see if they can finally get their 10-second time slip.

Yes, TH-400, the filter floats in the fluid. Weirder, it's Dave's first TH-400. That surprises me, because BITD everyone I know including myself, first thing to blow on our hi-po Chevrolets was the TH-350 transmission, and everyone replaced it with a donor TH-400 after a little work on the valve body and a new higher stall converter.

Back in the late 80's , I was assigned a project to help Reeves Callaway upgrade his Corvette line with THM400. Since the car was boosted, and the transmission ran on vacuum, there was a problem when the vacuum went to pressure. The fix was to plumb it with a vented one way check valve on the modulator line so the once it got into boost the modulator would only see atmospheric pressure. That system went into production on all the THM400 equipped Corvettes, worked perfect 👌 . Also the deep pan requires a longer pickup pipe, which your trans had, but there is also a sleeve that spaces between the valve body and the filter to keep the filter from moving around too much . BTW a deep pan is designed to allow more room for hot ATF expand into, the dipstick is calibrated to lower the level of the fluid. If you have a deep pan , but a shallow dipstick, when the fluid heats up it will get into the rotating parts of the trans and froth up the fluid like a milkshake. Great project, keep up the good work 👍

Back in the day ....(1972) My friend had a 69 Chevelle that had a 396 / 375 with a Turbo 400 trans. When shifted down to "1" and racing the 1/4 mile with 3.31 rear gears, the trans would upshift 1-2 on the governor which was factory set to shift at 6,500 RPM. So, playing around, he would just leave it in first on the shifter and race. Talk about consistency. You know you have a great bracket car when you run 13.95, 13.96, 13.94 using just two gears on street tires......We were careful not to beat it to death because it was used to tow a 1970 427 Nova.....We had SO MUCH fun back then.

As for the Transmission filter being lose, it's normal, but it does look a little loser on your vehicle. I remember when I was a mechanic in the military when I was working on M998, M114, and M1151 HMMWV's servicing the transmission changing the transmission filter, O-ring, and cork gasket, the filter was lose after snugging the mounting bolts down on it, but it was fine after test/normal driving.

YES, that filter is supposed to be loose like that. It is made to float up/down with fluid so it won't starve the pump if fluid is a bit low. Even though the vac modulator will control shift points, rarely ever is it the modulator that goes bad. If anything you should've check the valve behind the modulator for movement. Big waste of time opening the filter checking for wear, just look in the bottom of the pan, that's wear you will find condition of trans. clutch material, bushings, hard part damage, all right there.
