    Wife's at work, I'm home with the boys, I have them taking naps, and got some time to myself...











    Clearly a clearance problem. I am almost certain I followed ATSGs max gap spec of .085"! You won't believe what the gap actually was. I guess I should've gone tighter. Interesting.

    Looks like an installation problem. Looks like when you inserted the mating parts that one clutch wasn't lined up properly. I may be way wrong though. Did it tear up the mating part?

    I thought the same thing initially. Vince (@ FLT) confirmed it. I really need a shop, cuz doin this in the bed of my truck isn't cuttin' it. :p The clearance was still waaaaay off. Dunno how that happened, but no matter... what's done is done. I got something in the mail today. I will NOT mess these up.




    Uh... question... where did ya drill that hole in the input drum for better fluid flow? Wanna knock that out while the drum's out.

    I drilled mine. Was very easy. You have to drill at an angle. Its better to drill at too great an angle than too little, you can always drill from the inside to meet the angled hole. Finding the drills is fun. Go to Graingers to get the drill bits you need. I wrapped them with teflon tape so my hand drill could chuck on the tiny bit. Fastenal also has the number drill bits. I had to ask the better half the Fastenal name. My memory sucks.

    Fastenal is a bolt and tool company that is nationwide. A search on the net or your local yellow pages will let you know if you have one of their stores in your area.
