Pin 1 pic only needs the 3 pins welded at one end because the other end of the pins are inside a hardened surface.
Pin 2 pic needs welding at both ends of each because both surfaces are just mild steel & all 6 holes will elongate. The 3 dowl pins won't be needed.
Pic 2 was a GTA runing E85 btw

I was just talking to a guy that said his Evo 7 GTA (auto) has been upgraded with a mitsubishi 380 auto gearset.
Unfortunately he had it done by a shop in WA and can't remember their name...
Has anyone ever heard of this? Does this mean it would be possible in a VR4?
I would kill for a some longer gear ratios, being made for a land barge I would imagine it has a higher overdrive gear at least.

So you brought the car ?
I remember people here highly recommend a transmission place called Parramatta Automatics and think it was between $1500 to $2000.
Could be more or less now, worth giving them a call Monday.

Cool just didn't see it on gumtree anymore and thought you brought it.
But yeah Parramatta Automatics, give them a call Monday and hopefully they can quote you over the phone.

Got the car and will be getting the a new auto put in. And get the work done to the box before it's installed. Hopefully by Steve
So this is the general cheap way people are strengthening their boxes? Is there anything else without going too extreme?

the internal filter replaced and a strengthened steel pump gear fitted.
I'll leave all that for a later discussion as I'm not taking the box out, and of course you should be doing the wave spring too
Do you have these in stock atm
Aldo, I think I've heard of your work on GTA boxes, what are the upgrades you do to make super strong autos?
I assume welding input and output planets, is there anything else you can do makes them stronger? Are the rest upgrades to shift faster etc?
I have 200kw thru my auto atm, but have broken 1 gearbox already with slightly less (output planets as far as I can tell, inputs were already welded)

Pretzil I'm not aloud to say anything about my 350kw auto on E85 car mods says a mod in here.
So my lips are sealed. Can't give any advice sorry..

You're allowed to give advice - that's what this forum is for. We just want people to follow the advertising/trading rules so it's fair for the others who pay for the privilege
WAVE SPRING under Low/Rev explained.
The 3.9mm wave spring doesn't brake whereas the thin one does & small bits of it can kill your pump.
It's applied for the 1st 10kph in D going & the last 10kph in deccel. Same in R
Also applied in P & N. Helps to keep all the other clutch packs neutralized.
High reving cold start issues are not good for R gear
DON'T put your car in R & wack the accel instantly. You will kill your 2 baby R clutches in no time.
Wait for the feel of the engagement before accel. The low/rev clutches will now help R & D
When you shift N to R or D, the 3.9mm spring pushes the piston back.
Now during the lowest oil pressure at idle, the piston has to re-engage.
This is why you have a big delay engaging R & D. So wait before you WOT it.
Tip: I use 2nd gear clutches in low/rev with my stepped piston plate & my combo of plates.
Why: Because it engages instantly & it helps 1st launching at 16psi with 3600rpm stutter box.
I won't offer free wave springs to anyone again. I will bin them instead.
