For the folks who are rebuilding their own transmissions, what are you using for a backlash measurement? The manual says around .007, but that seems a little tight. We're trying to get some temperature out of the transmission and were thinking about running a little looser. Anyone tried that?

QUOTE(396 @ Oct 7 2013, 06:44 PM)  QUOTE(Jon B @ Oct 6 2013, 09:57 PM) QUOTE(Dr Evil @ Oct 6 2013, 09:35 PM) Not using inches, why would you assume so? Hi, I didn't assume numbers were in inchs, I said "1/1000 of something" because it wasn't noted, just .012-.018 of something. But in US when people see .018 they do assume inches. Matt began thread with .007, an inch dimension although also not noted as such. Just felt it should be corrected in case future forum members search "backlash". No? Jon B. Some might not know Jon B. But as an FYI, he's one of the premiere 901/915/G50 trans experts on the west coast. Jon, good catch on the decimal thing. Only an expert would have caught that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) If thats Jon Bunin, then add 356 trans guru as well. |
