I've read about a few guys who have fabbed an aluminum spacer, using the bellhousing for a pattern. Also, I've read complaints that the splines on the input weren't cut far enough back. I believe there are a few different TB' heights.? Keep us posted, I have a buddy with a similar issue in a Corvette.

 

Well after spending most of the morning fabricating a spacer plate because of my bad math was a waste of time,i didnt need it or have to shim my setup.I bought a PRW SFI flywheel and a Centerforce dual friction clutch and a GM Hydromax kit just got the transmission installed clearance is in within specs.No problem with the splines on mine i had lots of room there.

 

Well got my driveshaft cut and installed,emergency brake cables adjusted,had to drill two new holes in frame for the crossmember.installed american power train hydraulic clutch setup today.So far everything looks good.Have to do a check on the pedals tommorow should be ready to move,and then put my carpet seats and console back in.

 

I went with the stock setup with the clutch. Less hassle and I like how the manual has a feel to it. You are going to absolutely love this tranny! Pun intended! Mine has the .64 overdrive and it cruises on the highway like a regular car. I have 3.73s out back and the buzzing was too much for the BBO. Hence the Tremec. Bring on Power Tour! I'm doing the leg between Crown Point, Ind, and Iowa. Can't wait. The motor now has 1000 miles on it and runs like a champ.

 

My last post was #1320, ha!

 

Have the transmission all installed and working had a small problem with clutch pedal bind,with hydraulic clutch but got it all fixed up can push it down by hand.Have to put seats back in and cut console.Have to rig up reverse lights and Neutral safety switch.

 

I built a tough t-5 3 or so years ago, minor floor work, its great. Shifts so much better than the muncie. I dont race it but i do thrash it, no problem. If i ever got real traction on take off i might be in trouble.

70 mph at 2300 rpm, 3:25 rear end.

 

Good job, i'm sure you'll enjoy it!

 

Post some Pics and video glad all came together!

 

Had my car out finally Tremec works flawlessly shifts awesome.Had a vibration in my car gone now so i blame that on my 2004r.I have a couple of bugs to get out.I changed from a 750 eldelbrock to a 650 holley ultra car sounds awesome at 4300 it broke tires loose in 3rd but will not go over 4300 dont know if it is a timing issue or carb although eldelbrock did the same thing.

 

After some tuning ,everything works flawless now,my wife even said she never seen it work so good guess thats a bonus.Put the top down and cruised all day.Cruises on the highway about 2000 in 5th with 3:55 gears.

 

Congrats on getting it done and back on the road!

 

I want the same so bad, enjoy the ride!

 

I just got my new Tko 600 and have been looking at clutches what centerfoce did you get?
I am going with a hydraulic clutch as well so this info would be great.
