    Tremec 3550 rebuild or new

    Tremec 3550 was leaking between the rear and main case, so pulled it to have it resealed. While it was apart we found the input/output/countershaft was in bad shape too. Called Harlon motorsports and they say they can not get the front/rear shaft and would have to change yoke/cluch to work...

    Which flywheel weight??

    Mods to the flywheel? I dont recall every having anything done to the flywheel except having it turned when I put a new clutch back in the day. I've tried digging through all my paperwork on the stroker kit I bought, but no luck unfortunately. Sounds like this kit may have been balanced to...

    Which flywheel weight??

    Pulled transmission out of my 90 Mustang to do some transmission work. I ordered a new billet flywheel from LMR that comes with 28 and 50oz weights. By looking at the year of the car, it calls for 50oz counterweight to be used. There is a note that if running a 331/347 to use the 28oz weight...

    Tremec 5 speed front housing?

    Right! I have a couple calls in to some tremec shops. Looks like this is a common problem with early makes of the 3550 and not much ribbing for support. New cases have extra ribs in the areas where this is broke.

    Tremec 5 speed front housing?

    I was told it was a 3550 when I bought it. Has 6 bolts holding down the shifter. Edit: went out and looked and the stamped tag hanging off the housing says 3550

    Tremec 5 speed front housing?

    Swapped in a Tremec 5 speed in my car years ago. At the time one of the ears on the front case that bolts to the bellhousing had been broke off and welded back. The transmission was leaking between where the front and rear case meet. Took it out to have it sealed and an ear on the other side...

    Drivetrain Grinding behind steering wheels?

    It ended up being the clock spring. It has the two pieces and after pulling the wheel, when you spin the smaller center piece, it drags hard and makes a scratchy noise. Ended up tossing the clock spring in the trash for now and put the steering wheel back together and went for a quick drive...

    Drivetrain Grinding behind steering wheels?

    Pulled air bag off, kinda sounds like it's the clock spring area. I haven't pulled the steering wheel yet. Not sure if the clock spring could somehow break and cause the steering to catch.

    Drivetrain Grinding behind steering wheels?

    1990 GT Last night I had my steering catch on me a couple times like the wheel didn't want to turn. Got home and turned the wheel back and forth a few times and there is grinding behind the steering wheel? I took the two plastic covers off just behind the wheel and verified the...

    Coilover springs?

    Unfortunately, I do not recall the spring rate. Tried digging through all my old paperwork and cant find the receipts on these to remember. This car doesnt see any track time any longer, just cruises around town. Any suggestions on spring rate?

    Coilover springs?

    Long ago I purchased a coilover set for my Fox from someplace out of Florida that I cant seem to find online anymore. I believe it was JD's performance. The front is on tubular K-member and A-arms. Anyhow, the coilover springs have settled and I've adjusted them up about as far as they can go...
