My only problem were Keisler and them getting me the stuff they promised. Once the transmission was in it worked great.
Today I busted my hump and pulled the drivetrain(w/motor). I am wore out.
The transmission is a little dirty but everything looks good. The input shaft is still nice and tight. When I pulled the saginaw in the beginning of this the input shaft felt like another shifter only horizontal. Very loose.
The clutch looked brand new even after 5000 miles. I think this impressed me the most. Center Force dual friction. The pressure plate had virtually no wear I could detect. It still had the grooves from the machine work from when I bought it brand new.
The throwout bearing: it had an odd "wobble" to it. The bearing itself felt nice and tight when you spun it but it did not spin 'on center' .
Could this be poor runout? I want to say no because I would have felt the vibration in EVERY gear. But as it was I only had a vibration in 4th or 5th gear above 75 mph. Never any other gear. Am I worng? I am not a professional so if you know something I dont please chime in...anyone.
Could the throwout bearing got that way if I pulled the transmission wrong. There was a moment when I had the crossmember out and supported the engine and transmission( with a jack) from the transmission AFTER I had begun pulling it out. I had to as I was under the car alone( dumb) and could bearly support the transmisson whileI was laying under it. Its heavy with fliud. Its heavy without fluid. Its heavy period. I am tired.
After I was done, I went ahead and took out the A/C and heater box. It did not come out easy. Its in 100 peices now. The heater core is still good. i did save that.
