I do believe it was windy today, but for the most part, rain free. Where are you on the progress of your transmission install?

 

Well I pulled the clutch with the intent of adjusting it so it engages sooner on the pedal, but instead I was met with a hot-spotted & cracked flywheel and pressure plate. Dunno what to blame. Autozone clutch, or flywheel (I had it resurfaced previously, but it still had hairline cracks). Either way, it is another setback, and another chunk of money to throw at the truck.




Bought me some cheap copper plugs at the part store.


So, for the good news of the day, I discovered that my budget refurbed transmission has the upgraded cast iron tailhousing! (OEM is aluminum)That makes me happy.

Also got the engine pretty much put back together.



Anyone know where to get a new flywheel for my 360 cheap? I am finding mostly $350 stuff.... I hope I don't have to pay that....

Shweet! Thanks. None of this will be ordered until after next payday however

 

I was pretty excited to order up a new Zoom full Kevlar clutch kit for this thing until I found out they are made in China

ACdelco also has a Kevlar clutch kit for me, But it is made in China as well!

Centerforce is a little better with their dual-friction setups... the parts are made in mexico, but get shipped here to be modified and assembled. So now I have to decide. Any thoughts? Or does anyone know of any alternative options for my application?

 

Center force is the only way to go man

 

And good luck finding anything that isn't made in China. It gets harder by the day it seems.
