TRANSGO 1167-71 Cast Iron Case Cruise-O-Matic Datasheet

TOOLS RECOMMENDED FOR EASIEST, QUICKEST INSTALLATION

This Trans-GO Kit was a-very intelligent decision.

Your transmission will love you for it. This kit transforms a good working “stock” automatic transmission into a rugged, responsive, hi-performance unit.
A Trans-GO Kit will more than double the life of your transmission under high load conditions. There’s no reason to lose precious efficiency with soft shifts that generate heat and consume horsepower. cees·cEtJT

WRENCH

Trans-GO brings automatic transmission performance out of the dark ages into the space age, in one giantstep. Installed in your transmission, a Trans•GO Kit recalibrates it to hi-performance specifications. It controls shift timing and “shift feel” for instant response and racing performance.
Cleanliness is important. An ideal place for valve ody work is a clean table or work bench free of any other parts or springs. A piece of cardboard makes an excellent working surface once the valve body has been drained of transmission fluid

STE.P 1

Loosen oil pan and drain oil. If filler tube screws into pan, remove it. It fluid is to be reused it should be drained into a clean container.

STEP 2

Disconnect vacuum hose from the vacuum modulator located on left rear corner of transmission case. Unscrew vacuum modulator and remove it and push rod. (See Photo No. 2A) Use thin 3/4″ wrench, water pump pliers or pipe wrench.

STEP: 3

The transmission oil screen is held in place with a metal clip, notice how it is installed. Remove clip and oil screen

STEP4-

Remove the two tubes connecting valve body to pressure regulator. To remove big tube, unplug at valve body first. Be very careful, do not bend or distort tubes. (See Photo No. 2A)

STEP 5″

If you are installing a 37-1 Kit, go directly to\ step 8. If you are installing a 37-2 or L37-2 Kit, continue as follows:
Loosen locknut on front servo adjusting screw and back screw out until the servo arm touches the apply rod. (See Photo No. 28)

STEPS

Remove both front servo attaching bolts (use 9/16 socket) (some servos have only one bolt) and the three bolts attaching valve body to case (use out when servo is removed. On models with flex
i band, two struts may fall out. (See Photo 2D)

STEP 7

Remove two tubes between servo and valve body. Install new servo parts as shown. (See Photo No. 3A)

PHOTO NO. 3A

HERE Special TransGO high volume Servo Cover, Piston and Spring. (Furnished In Competition
Kit Only)\ Install thick end of strut into band apply arm (Photo No. 3A). Use thick grease to hold it in position. While installing servo onto case, slide thin end of strut into strut seat on band.
If you have flex band as shown in Photo No. 2D, see that anchor strut is in position and hold band with screwdriver as servo is installed.

STEP 8 VALVE BODY PHOTO NO. 3B

Remove four bolts (use 7/16″ socket) and four screws that attach valve body cover. (See Photo No.
38) Slide valve body cover off servo tubes. Remove small separator plate with cover. Remove three bolts attaching valve body to case (use 7/16″ socket and remove valve body. (See Photo No. 2C)
37-2 or L37-2 KITS
Remove four bolts (use 7/16″ socket) and four screws that attach valve body cover. (See Photo No. 38)

STEP9

’91EP1.0

and discard spring and ball from cover as shown in Photo No. 3D

STEP16

Install new springs in lower valve body and discard old springs. Remove transition spring as shown in Photo No. 5A.

STEP 17 VALVE BODY REASSEMBLY

Install check ball in upper valve body as shown in Photo No. 48. Install large separator plate onto upper valve body as shown in Photo No. 4A.
Install upper valve body onto lower valve body.
DO NOT INSTALL THE REMAINING SMALL SEPARATOR PLATE AND VAL VE BODY COVER AT THIS TIME.

STEP18

Place valve body onto transmission case and start the three attaching bolts shown in Photo No. 2A. Do not tighten them now.
Make sure pin in selector arm is between the two spools on end of manual valve. The kickdown lever beside it must be between downshift valve and lever stop bracket. When arm on outside of case is moved by hand the lever must push against downshift valve.

STEP19

Place check bal I in correct location in cover. (See Photo No. 3C) Place small separator plate on cover, slip cover onto servo tubes and install the 4 screws and 4 1/4″
bolts and tighten them. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN BOLTS OR SCREWS.

STE.P 20

Install the two tubes between valve body and pressure regulator. Insert the big tube first into pressure regulator then push it into valve body,
wiggle valve body to make installation easier. To install small tube it may be necessary to tap lightly with small hammer or screwdriver handle.

STEP21

Tighten the three valve body attaching bolts and the front servo bolts. VALVE BODY BOLTS – 80 inch pounds (Firm one hand pressure with speed wrench.)
SERVO BOLTS – 25 foot pounds (Firm with ratchet wrench.)

STEP 22

STE’P23

With Lock Nut loose, turn Adjusting Screw until 1/4″ bolt will just pass between Servo Apply Rod and the end of Adjusting Screw with slight drag.
(See figure No. 68) Then turn Adjusting Screw IN” (Clockwise) one ( 1) Turn and tighten Lock Nut.
(Use 1 /4″ bolt from valve body or any bolt that a 7 /16″ wrench will fit.)

STEP24

Wash oil pickup screen and install using metal retainer.

STEP 2S

Push rod into new vacuum modulator (furnished) and install on transmission, connect vacuum hose.

STEP 26

Clean transmission oil pan, remove old gasket, install pan using new gasket, connect filler tube.

STEP 27

Pour three (3) quarts of fluid into transmission. Start engine with selector in “P” (PARK) and add fluid until level is at full mark on dipstick. PERFORMANCE
We recommend using Ford “F” fluid in this transmission. It works just fine.
We do not recommend any special fluid. Most of these “special’ fluids lack some lubricating qualities, and can shorten the life of bushings, bearings, pumps and thrust washers.

STEP 28 ROAD TESTING

Drive approx.imately two miles easy before attempting high throttle up-shifts. During this two miles move shift lever to a 11 forward positions a dozen or more times. Check oi I level and add oi I
if necessary. Do not run above full mark. IMPORTANT: After vehicle has been driven 10 to 20 miles RECHECK OIL LEVEL.

STEP 29 PERFORMANCE TUNING

Adjusting the Vacuum Modulator. Remove vacuum hose from modulator. Adjust screw is inside of tube. Use very small screwdriver. For later or firmer shifts turn screw “IN” (clockwise)
no more than 6 turns. For early or softer shifts turn screw “OUT” no more than 2 turns. Early shifts give better economy and overall performance. exclusive reprogramming gives you everything

PERFORMANCE: Positive upshifts and downshifts at your finger tips for maximum performance.
CONVENIENCE: Automatic shifts in “D” position.
SAFETY: Manual downshifts to 2nd at any speed and to 1st at 40-50 MPH depending on axle ratio and carburetion
