Transmission Alignment

[blkblk63ss]

I would go back and check and make sure you have the right throw out bearing .

 

[blkblk63ss]

Compare the clutch forks too ,make sure curve is the same.

I askedJegs the diameter of the bearing , already checked the forks.

 

[albjerryg]

I went to the spec it does not tell the diameter of the bearing it tell me the box size. Thanks

 

[albjerryg]

My old one is 2 .9 inches and the package size is 3.3 inches. I know I need to get this all straight but still don’t why I could not slip the transmission in.???

 

[blkblk63ss]

I think you would have eventually, just not lined up.

 

[albjerryg]

Yes I think you’re right. I found the spec on that keg bearing and the outside diameter is larger. Boy I tell you for being retired I worked 7 hour yesterday and 6 today and accomplish almost nothing , just like work.

Does anyone know what difference a 5 sprig plate to a 8 spring plate.

 

[blkblk63ss]

Some days I don't get nothing done and I don't have to try to hard. Ha . Did you order the jeg bearing?

 

[albjerryg]

If you look at the bottom of the page it has the dimensions but it for 5 different bearings none match to my old one

 

[albjerryg]

I will tell you I ordered a set of Ram it has pressure plate clutch and throw out bearing.

I thought for a Chevy it’s either a long or short……..????

I have pictures of the clutch and fly wheel. My question is if you look at the clutch it has a center side the sticks out and a side that is flush. Which side goes towards the fly wheel. Thank

Flush! When I was in college a buddy finished the clutch replacement on my 409 Impala and did it wrong.

 

[albjerryg]

Ok so flush side towards the fly wheel. Thanks

Working on mine right now. I marked my disc because of my low IQ. RAM sintered iron. This is how it was when tore down.

I do not understand why they aren't marked from the manufacturer.

Just put b/h back on due to not having clutch fork on when installing the first time. DUH....

 

[albjerryg]

I agree wish everything was marked. I try to take pictures of everything but some they get deleted.

 

[albjerryg]

Skip fix I wanted to know what happen to you buddy car when he started ie with the clutch plate backwards.

If it was in there the way it is pictured in the first pic it was in backwards…. Looks like theres marks on the springs where it was probaby hitting the flywheel bolts…
