automatic transmission questions

[jimk]

Not being a huge fan of automatic transmissions I do believe that Maby a automatic might be good for me IF I could use it to pull my trailer.
I don't drive like I stole it or am I going to. I need second gear lockup, maby even first, as I was told that it is possible.
When I drive the truck I have to feather the throttle to give me rpm ( for oil pressure to make the clutches hold) more than 1800. I have a stock transmission and a loose fluid coupling. If the convertor was good in fluid coupling it would drop and so would the RPM. IF I have a heavy load on my trailer and only have 1200 or 1300 RPM the volume in the frount pump does not give the needed pressure to make the clutches hold with a lot of load. The reason to reduce all leakage for sure. I have to go to 2500 or so to make sure I don't drop the RPM to much when I change gears. I would like to know how much torque each clutch pact will hold with a given psi. I could do the math but I am sure that knowledge is all ready out there. Example forward clutches at 65 psi, at 75, 85 etc lock up in the converter at 120, 150, 175, There must be a general rule for how much psi for a given torque for each clutch pack. The torque being limited to the weakest clutch pack.
I would like to go to lock up at 1500 if it were possible. In my opinion the transmission needs more oil pump volume to do what I wont. It might seem like a lot of bs but even a engine mounted oil pump to charge the transmission with enough volume to provide good lubricating and oil pressure at lower RPM than 1800 in overdrive and lockup when towing.
It will probably never happen or cost 6k dollars and I will be rid of the automatic for good. It would be good to have a transmission that would keep the turbo spooled up, as that is the only reason to own a auto for me. jimk
