I needed to replace the bearings in an intermediate shaft recently and it wasn't really a hard job but I did dent the outside of the large seal. I inquired about a replacement seal from the company that I got the rebuild kit from, a Febest...

Brian, I notice that this bolt isn't shown in Version 2 of the bolt torque pdf. It's in Version 1 though. There it's called a Carrier Bearing to Engine Block Bolt. No biggie, just wanted to mention it!
Even then there is some fight back from something. The bracket doesn't seem to want to move. I suppose that's because the shafts are in it. I never had both bolts entirely out at the same time because I was afraid that if the bracket did...
The problem is that the Dsm bracket is made to be aligned by the bolts, they double as dowels.Look at a 3000gt bracket. It has 2 dowels to align it, and uses regular bolts.
That is what it feels like when I put bolts in this thing. They fight me on the way in. I'm doing it with everything put together in the car. So the bracket, the bolts, the shafts and bearing, and the holes in the block, they are all possibly...
I didn't know this fitting was such a problem until one of my bolts broke.
When I found this, the passenger side bolt was still tight. The driver side bolt was broken and hanging onto itself by a whisker. That one has a spacer under the housing...
I’m just not ready to drop the transmission again this weekend so yeah, not happening until I feel like it. Probably a month from now. Lol. Or sooner if I can find a lift/air tools to make it a breeze.But in the meantime, I scored an SSQV IV...
Yeah man take your time and get better tools if you can. I don't even do that kind of stuff at all anymore but if I did it would be bit by bit and would take a while. For me it's gotta be Easy. 🙂
Woohoo. It’s so new and purdy.Not sure if I’m gonna install it this weekend or not. I hate dropping this f*cking transmission. Lol. But it’s nice I have it.
I gotta say I’m not hating on South Bend at all, I love the clutch, smooth engagement, holds torque, and I admit the fault is probably on my end, but after the headache of pulling the pedal assembly and rebuilding it and fixing the slop, several...
Randomly reminds me I tried playing with two step/als in link and it wasn’t activating. Need to address that.But this is all good info. Keep it coming.
I am kind of ok with it. I've gotten more acclimated to the sudden engagement so that I don't jerk the car when I shift.
I do a thing that makes easy street launches less finicky - I keep the Launch Limit in ECMlink set to 3,000 rpm. That...
My SBC ceramic disc that I showed in post #24 here measures 0.326" thick right now today.
It was only in the car for 250 easy miles. There's practically no wear on it. So it was probably within a couple thou of that when new.ACT, in the...
Priority Mail starts at $9.85 for a envelope, $10.40 for the Small FR Box.
I gave you guys the best rate you can get, just like I do my customers. :thumb:
If you do it from home, I believe you get a discount but I've never used it myself...
Ok I see $10.40 when I start from here and then pick "View Flat Rate Boxes". Phew.
What's that other page I found where it shows $4.95? Is that for some kind of business accounts or something?
Hmm, Ground Advantage. When I look at that, it looks like you either have to take it to a PO for them to weigh and label it. Or you can use Click-n-Ship to do all that stuff at home and then take it to a PO and drop it into the packages hopper...
