I need to know the thicknesses of the paper seals/spacers so I can reset my r&p depth.
Had to combine some pieces to get a good tranny... and add the H gear 5th (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks, Chris |

Do a "prussian blue" test, or if you dont have some machinists dye around, use some white grease.. put a nice but not to thick coat on the ring gear.. assemble the tranny with whatever gasket you have..put the tranny in gear, rotate the input shaft so everything is turning in the forward direction...
the pull the diff out, check the "smear" on the ring gear teeth.... if the white grease has a wear pattern halfway up, and halfway down, just go with it...if the wear or wipe is to high on the ring gear use a thicker shim.. Most of our cars dont make enough power to be really to concerned about perfect r/p depth...if we dont get it right we just hear a bit more whine from the tranny.. unlike my friends 3.8 twin turbo which shears teeth off a G50/50 ring gear (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |
