Hi everyone, I'm in the middle of a rebuild of my T5 and I'm coming across a strange issue:
When the tailhousing is bolted to the case, and bearing retainer bolted on w/NO shims, I'm only reading .004" of endplay...seems waaaayyy too tight to me from everything I've read online/using the Tremec manuals. My smallest shim is .012", which is the minimum that Tremec specifies to use in conjunction w/other shims. I also had alot of drag turning the input shaft, but I believe I've diagnosed that down to the reverse brake synchro having some trash in it, so the measurements have been taken with the 5th drive gear out.
I've rechecked everything I can think of but I can't find why I seem to have such a tight clearance. All the gears except both 5ths are new (Astro upgraded 2.95 gearset, not A-5), bearings, synchros, etc are new from the 94 piece latemodelresto kit. I have made sure the 3-4 hub and input shaft bearing are both pressed all the way down.
Any help of things to look for would be great!
