I also use the 4.2 lever and back off 2 turns on both adjustments.
I'm pretty sure JW uses the red bands and/or clutches. Forgot the specific brand. Don't know what else he does or sets the pressure at, but mine don't have any "trick" parts in them.

I was told this weekend to use Hydraulic/Transmission Fluid for Tractors in the P/G Trans to help with the Heat.
Anyone ever tried this and does it work.

Hdy fluid/auto trans fluid are the same....My dad saw this "out in the field" as he drives a timber cutting machine for a living . he said some are thinner the the others but both work.

Allison TranSynd, been using it for 5 years switching from Type F to lower fluid temp and extend fluid change intervals.

Installed fresh at the start of every season, logging 200+ passes each season.

Kevin,
I've been told that by more than 1 tranny/convertor builder. I still stick with my synthetic though.
I recently switched to the same stuff Myron uses AMSOIL trick shift. I will put around 400 runs on my glide this year and don't anticipate any issues.

I build race trans and you need to stick with any of the brand name synthetic fluids.
I prefer the Mobil 1 fluids.
The synthetic fluids hold up better under the heat loads of racing in all areas and are better lubricants period.
They are a little more expensive but worth it.
My 2 Cents and experience from using and building the transmissions.
