New disk is warped for sure

Josh

 

Yeah.

I've never messed with a warped clutch disk before new or used, it's
never been an issue even used all sorts of junky looking disks in dune
buggies too. Slapped in which ever one looked best at the time and go.

That little bit of warp-age cause all the trouble the OP's been having? :)

Cool videos, P, the first one was way better than the second one tho. ;)

The inner and outer pilot bearing hole business threw me until I saw
your picture (thanks) and realized it was just your way of describing it
and there really wasn't an inner and outer pilot hole. LOL :)

And your picture brought up another point... is Rockauto's data base
messed up on the 460's pilot bearing outer diameter? :/

ps- Wow went back and read this thread from the start, I'm into too
many threads on too many forums I guess. :/ Anyway, cool thread! :)
And BTW a T18 only weighs 150 pounds is a T19 ~10 more pounds? ;)

 

Alvin, it's heavier than me, lol.

 

Well, sent some pics and an email to L&L. Guy is out of the office until Monday.

Glad this isn't a daily driver (yet).

 

Update.

Disc was bent a bit. Whoops. I have it driveable now, albeit the pedal must be just about to the boards for the clutch to release, and that's with the rod adjusted 'tight'.

In any event. I realized something. I hate the T19. In fact, i feel like I'm driving a small school bus. The 5.11 first gear even with 3.25:1 rear is pretty much unusable, and the splits are a bit much for me.

Sooo..



I went and got one of these.

 

< Jealous!


Does Tremec have Big Block bellhousings?

I'd love to have a 5 or 6 speed in place of my C6

 

Negative. But, I got a TKO 500 with a short input shaft, so it will bolt in place of the T19.

 

Showcasing the size difference. Yikes.

 

That is one sexy SOB!!!

You will not regret your decision, that is an awesome transmission for a 2wd.

 

Well, preliminary install.



Anyone considering this, you need to use a mid mount shifter, unless you keep your bench all the way back and never move it forward.. then you could probably get away with the rear mount shifter flipped.

 

I think my fan club here dissipated since I dropped the T19, lol.

In any case.

I used an 88-98 Chevy C/K Hurst shifter stick



This is in 2nd gear.



A litttttttle close to the seat (all the way back, btw) but it works. Comfortable to shift and drive.

3rd gear.



You could possible use the other S10 stick, which is the same height, but not as much 'lean back', but, boom, here it is. I need another transmission floor pan, as I have a thin street sign covering the now-swiss-cheesed panel.

 

Good call! :)

"Showcasing the size difference. Yikes."-psquare

A transmission guy told me as a general rule the father apart the main shaft
is from the counter shaft the stronger the transmission.

LOL. The TKO-500 is rated for 500 ft lbs. In a 2wd street truck like mine with street tires, I think I'll be fine, it just spins anyway. Gear splits with the TKO are 3.27 1.97 1.34 1.00 0.68. Much more usable for my use, IMO.. I'd have done a T5 originally, but....... yeah. I have a T19 on Craigslist if anyone is local to me, lol.

 

Went up and down the street with it, shifts nice. I had some huge swap issues that I think were self inflicted. I'll post more later. Right now I need to fix this.

"Van" pullies and "truck" radiator hoses do not mix.

 

Cool, thanks for posting that. :)

...I'm -starting- to see a pattern in transmission designations. xD

Believe it or not that's how my '75 F150 360FE+factoryA/C+PS came from
the factory.

The trick is to buy one of those hoses that you cut-the-legs-off-of to make
it fit and don't cut it where the hose company sez to. xD

Cut the horizontal leg the length you need to push the vertical leg back. ;)
(as if you didn't already-done-knowed-that)

1/2" space has been plenty for me, my belt's never touched the hose.
