Per the awesome folks at RevMax:
Many
years back we (circa 2014) RevMax began using billet valve bodies in
their 68RFE 1000 series transmissions. These units featured on demand
lockup and the rigidity of a billet channel casting. These were offered
for a short time by us but the market was not yet open to paying for
what was thought to be an unneeded and expensive item. We stopped
selling this an option in 2015 and mothballed the project.
Our
initial 1” solid version was a game changer. It gave the market what
they asked for, a perfectly flat, rigid and smooth surface finish. As
great as it was, it did have a drawback, as it could not be used with
some aftermarket pans or with any stock pans. Customers have commented
that they wanted a new design channel plate that incorporated all of the
initial designs’ features yet allowed it to be used with a stock pan or
with any aftermarket pan. After nearly 8 months and 6 revisions we now
have the V2.0 available!
Our
V2.0 still is 1” thick but this new version has precision cutouts that
allow the use of a stock filter and pan. Unlike other designs, we still
have full depth worm tracks in crucial circuits. The other designs we
have seen have only a .190” deep worm track in several critical
circuits. One restricted circuit is the combined vent track. This track
is responsible for all venting operations and in particular the
problematic SSV valve. The next restricted circuit is the torque
converter clutch signal circuit. Restrictions in this circuit creates
all kinds of torque converter related concerns including; dragging when
coming to a stop, overheating, soft or harsh TCC apply or release and
back feed issues resulting in P1776 and P0871 trouble codes. Both our
original and V2.0 have nearly full depth worm tracks in these areas
which eliminate these issues!
Our
V2.0 plate will work with ANY aftermarket transmission pan as well as
with stock transmission pans. There is no need to alter any part of the
pan or use and special filters. Just install it like you would a stock
channel plate and go!
The RevMax 68RFE V2.0 Billet Channel Plate features the following:
- 6061 billet aluminum construction
- Deep critical worm tracks
- .0003 flatness across the entire plate. The only truly flat billet channel plate!
- Micro
polished worm track surface. There are no visible or perceptible
machining marks or stepovers. This ensures no chance of any leaking due
to machining marks.
- Large Radius machining on the filter cutout increases rigidity yet allows the use of a stock filter assembly.
- Angle milled step downs increase rigidity in problematic flexing areas.
- Ability
to run up to 325psi of line pressure without any warpage! (transmission
tuning, TCM upgrade or pressure box is needed) No pump modifications
required for up to 250psi!
- Proprietary worm track layout
- Shortened Shift Times for crisp, clean shifts
