Hey folks.
Over a year or so ago I rebuilt my A518 [46RH (NON lock-up 3-speed w/OD)] and increased the Clutch-Disk/Steel count in the forward and direct assemblies along with a bunch of other crap. OK, fine.
Trying to make the heap faster, I recently popped the intermediate shaft and with tearing down the trans:
- I found that one of the forward clutch-disk's (that closest to the reaction-plate) was apparently riding at the very edge of the associated front planetary ring-gear hub. With that, the clutch-disk's teeth were damaged (resulting in that disk not being engaged with the hub).
- I found a similar situation in the intermediate clutch-pac where that clutch closest to the front of the trans wasn't engaging the input-shaft's hub.
> Is there any reason I can't perhaps for example, machine a little off the pressure plate and slip another steel in with the reaction-plate making up for that material machined, thus moving the clutch-pac over? Better positioning the clutch/steel stack on the associated hub?
Make sense? :1tooth:
