I ordered extra TOB fasteners if you are having trouble finding them or don't want to wait for shipping.

I'll take them. Enough to replace all correct?

 

[Mahkoi]

Yeah its enough to replace them all. If sms doesn't need them I can send them your way.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Thanks.

I just went to the hardware store and got 3 new bolts. Now I’m wondering if I should use them our buy yours from you

 

[SmsDetroit]

I could be wrong but I think this might restrict the flow on my inner cooler. Lol

Flow regulator

Cut the hose slightly shorter to make an arc rather than a 90 degree angle for the intercooler hose.

Mine had a similar kink and I replaced it with a hose from the local parts store. I took my hose in and asked to look at their hoses in the back and I found one shaped similar to mine. I should have saved the hose part # but didn't unfortunately.

 

[SmsDetroit]

I just added a 90 for now

 

[SmsDetroit]

Trans is back in. Now to bolt everything back on

 

[SmsDetroit]

Trans and clutch are back in. Now to bleed it. Does anyone have the STL file for the rear rotor centering rings. I have a broken one

 

[SmsDetroit]

I got everything back together this past weekend and took it for a 15 mile drive. Wow this thing feels like it has a brand new transmission in it. I think the old clutch I took out was never fully disengaging. Shifts are much smoother.

 

[SmsDetroit]

Note. Anyone with an LNF that is looking for an intermediate shaft support bearing. You can not find them anywhere. All of GMs sites show back ordered. I went to all the auto part store in person and online. Last one I check was Advanced Auto. They had a bearing labeled as “axle bearing”. I took a chance and ordered it and holy **** it was the correct one

 

[Gtstorey]

You can also pull the number for the bearing and order it that way. Looking back through my email, I'm pretty sure 6008-2RS1 was the one I ordered for this but I'm not 100%.

Ugh. Took the car for a second drive. Still driving fantastic but I noticed a drip from under the trans. Looks like brake fluid. Picking up a borescope to look inside before I rip the trans back out. Hopefully it’s just some that leaked in when I was bleeding the clutch

 

[SmsDetroit]

Well some good news is it looks like I shouldn’t have to pull the trans. The leak looks like it’s coming from the elbow on the top. I’ll be taking that off tomorrow and check the seal.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Make sure you don't have a 'double' seal with 2 o-rings in there. Has been a problem with a few builders in the past.

I never took it off. I think I just shifted it enough to mess it up

 

[SmsDetroit]

Okay so I installed a new disruption block and purchased the clutch pipe because that’s the only way to get the seal. I tried to just swap the seal to the pipe on the car so I didn’t have to pull the trans again. I still have a bit of a leak and am at a bit of a loss now. Any suggestions would be helpful

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Did you lubricant the o-ring before installing it? Genwrally, lubing with brake fluid with swell the o-ring slightly to give a better seal.

Since you have all new parts installed and have everything installed correctly, I'm at a loss why you still have a leak?
