Transmission part number

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

Gardner:
Just a comment on Trannys....When my 80FC31 tranny blew....
the "plate" was already broken for the third time....turns out tranny
had the wrong SPRINGS in it from th BB factory long ago......
the tranny was shifting at 2800rpm causing a lot of stress on the
plate...when it blew..they ordered the same tranny number and at
first I had the same problem until I had them change the springs so
it shifted at 2300 rpm...it is OK now.....But the SPRINGS were the
problem..STRIKER PLATE CRAKED THREE TIMES......
