Adding extra friction and steel to direct clutch

[SICKS LITER]

My white 2006 has an 08 or 09 6.4 trans and converter in it, I had a direct clutch solenoid failure that wiped out the direct clutch's. Since every other gear is fine I am going to pull it apart and replace the direct clutch's, what has to be done to add an extra friction and steel?

Is this a big secret or what?

You need to contact Warren Diesel Transmission for one of his Direct Drums. They are custom machined to accept a higher clutch count with a correct thickness pressure plate.

Ok. So how do these rebuild kits from suncoast work, they add clutches. Sounds like there more parts needed

The suncoast kit runs a thinner pressure plate. The problem is that there's so much force on the clutch pack it will actually bend the pressure plate and then smoke the clutches again.

Don't want that. If I were to add a clutch everywhere else what would I need?
