Oh Crap, that sucks, do you think you can do a trade with a local trans builder?

prob not, just have to sell it on ebay or something.

Build coming along nicely. Shame about the valve body though.

Wow! That's some really nice work there, great photos too.

thanks!

Just started rebuilding the input drum, about halfway rebuilding it, hit a snag, clearance between the snap ring and Forward Clutch Pressure Plate is 2.3mm, standard clearance is 0.75mm - 1.60mm, even after a pressure testing the pistons and rechecking everything in there it's the same. The pressure plates come in different thickness mine in stamped C so might have to hunt down a B stamp one which should bring the clearance back in range. Just fired an email off my trans guy about it.

BUGGER, 1 snag after another, did you sort out valve body?

[The1]

i have another valve body seperator plate coming from the US, wasn't expensive.

hey mate did you get the pressure plate sorted?

shoot me a picture of the one you have and I will check the spares I have left over from my build and you can have it if I have the right one

yeh i ordered the correct one a few weeks ago, waiting for it to arrive.

Well i got a fair bit done over my holidays, apart from the pump it's ready to go back together.

Looking like the stator shaft will have to stay in there as i can't find a torx bit that is strong enough even buying some top end ones for $15 a pop resulted in twisted bits. The wear isn't bad on the shaft anyway and i have new spare bushes and seals so will redo them all. Asked the transmission guy and he can only get them out with a heavy duty snapon one with a rattle gun.

I have 100's of photos to go through and update the build log, will take me a while
