MT Accumulator Delete Mod (ADM) and BS Thread

$25 shipped if anyone wants mine.

 

Anyone still have one of these ADM kits laying around cause I'll take it if you do.
Sent you a pm @GF8er to see if yours was still available.
I just ordered the Techna-fit HCNL-20 off of Amazon but am willing to cancel cause I'm not sure what other parts I will need to go along with it.

 

Seems like there's a few folks in here who are looking for an accumulator. Mines sitting around in the garage and it's yours for the price of a flat rate box!

 

Just grind the accumulator. Free and easy.

 

Sorry, I cant find the one I had forsale. It's buried in the garage somewhere.

 

You can pick up the parts to make one of these kits from Autozone. Part# PAJX-312 and BLU-9C. I know some people have said this will leak where it connects to the slave but iI've had zero issues in 30k miles on my 2018.

 

I did the parts from autozone as well. Havent had any leaks. I think the thing is you just need to make sure that the fittings are squared up when you tighten them down and make sure they are tight.

 

Per the manual, the Taco comes with DOT 3.

 

DOT 4 is completely compatible with DOT 3 and offers a higher wet and dry boiling points, and is generally considered superior.

DOT 5.1 offers even higher boiling points and is still compatible with 3/4.

DOT 4 or 5.1 might not be necessary in a Taco, but if you live in hilly areas or are towing often, there is literally no downside to going with 4 or 5.1.

 

A round burr would be easiest, but you could probably accomplish it with a sanding drum. The little grinding stones don't usually work well on aluminum, they get clogged up pretty quickly.

Something like these.

Use this one

 

I'd stay away from 5.1. It caused some weeping seals for me.

 

Just got finished driving around after doing the ADM and love the way it feels. This is how it should have shifted from the factory.
I used the Techna-Fit HNCL-20.

 

is that line a direct bolt on?

 

Yep

 

could you post a pic of it installed? Seems like a better option for me vs the dremel mod or hard line

 

I'll take one in the morning once its daylight.

 

Can you 3rd gen guys not just bend the lines a little and use a double female bubble flair union? That's what I did, like a $7 part.

Dot 3 and dot 4 are compatible, mixable, interchangeable, Dot4 has a higher boiling point in the clutch that doesn't really matter but I use Type200 Dot 4 fluid for everything since I have it for my motorcycle too.

Do not use Dot5, Dot5.1 is supposedly interchangeable but I have heard issues about it effecting seals like Dot5 will.

 

No. We don't have enough slack in the lines. From what I could tell, only some 2nd Gens could do that as there were a few different accumulator configurations.
