If you have a three rotor you should be running a six pinion planet carrier. No
amount
of additional oil will compensate for the higher line contact loads on the pinion
gears.
The best thing to do is add two more pinion gears. You can buy such a planet carrier
or
machine your own out of a light duty three pinion version and add three more pinions.
Since the planet carrier, complete with pinion gears, can be bought from a automatic
transmission parts house for about $20 you could cannibalize one of these for
additional
pinions.

Yes, but can you buy a 6 pinion carrier for Ford C-6 gears?

This is a picture of one from the ACRE NL web site. Performance Automatic.
I am going to make you check the web site for the phone number as penance
for not seeing this Chris :-)
Ask for the one without the splines that has the retangular tabs that fit in
the housing. The one shown has splines for a shaft.
