I am going with A&A transmission's parts, red frictions with kolene steels rebuild kit and his thrust washer kit as the rebuild kit doesn’t look like it comes with thrust washers or plastic spacers.
I have a newbie trans rebuild question…how do tell if you need to replace the two bands in an unknown condition 727?
Some backstory, i acquired a transmission that has been sitting for a bit and i am going through it doing a refresh with new seals and clutches. It is supposed to be a good unit...
For the front conversion, it’s just straight bolt on minus the trimming to the turn stops? Is the geometry the same still or are the spindles a lot different?
Hm, might be a good excuse to upgrade my welder, i just have a Hobart handler 140. I’ve built a trailer with it and haven’t had any issues with the welds so far.
I was thinking that could be an option if i needed to do that, the nuts on my spring packs are a fair bit smaller than the holes on the spring perches on the axle currently in the car, so realistically it’s less than 5/16 of flex on each side.
I found c body axle shafts, but they are 1/4” shorter than the imperial shafts from the imperial rear end, is that an issue? Do the axle shafts have to be the perfect length to function? I can see to long being an issue.
Should add, the c body axles already have the green bearings installed on...
Thats that axle housing flanges difference. The spring perch center line would be going from 45.5 to 46.125 which is 5/8 difference, so actually 5/16 each side that the leaf packs would be pushed out.
I know this has been asked before, but is there a definitive first hand experience direct bolt in swap for these axles? I have been searching locally for a while now and the best i have come across is a 67-69 imperial rear end that is 46 1/8 center to center on the springs and 55 5/8 flange to...
I drove it yesterday after retorquing the bolts. It slightly exhibited the behavior still. When i got back home i torqued the bolts to 35 instead of 25ft lbs. drove it this morning and it’s much better, still goes a bit lean but i think a normal amount of lean. Yesterday and today though driving...
