Hi
On the 200-4R :
1. Ball & Capsule inside the Turbine shaft, what does it do?, and if it is missing, what kind of problems it will cause?
2. What are the clearences for the clutches?
thank you for your help

the ball capsule controls oil flow /volume rate into the convertor to apply convertor clutch when applying as well as lube circuit /cooler out oil.leaving out the ball on a lock up application can break the convertor turbine and also allows the oil not enough time in the transmission cooler for heat transfer as it is forced too quickly thru the circuit.if it is a non lock up convertor howevewr it should be omitted.
