    What was the converter to flexplate clearance? Did you replace the flexplate and by chance get a C6 one ? They are different .
  2. Gregaust
    No it does not for normal use

    If a street type tread , likely a 20 will do .. I have found a 275/60 drag radial a little taller than a street tyre and is best with 21
  9. Gregaust
    1/4-28 is the thread for fitting into case , the 5/16 inverted flare !/@-20 is the fitting for the line into the fitting
  10. Gregaust
    Yes you will . Depending on tyre size a 20 or 21 for auto , manual may be bit different
  11. Gregaust
    What sort of rebuild was it ? Was it built right or just new parts thrown at it with no other measuring or checks ? Was the valvebody aligned correctly when fitted ? Were any bushes changed ? Endfloat checks ? Clutch clearances ? Band adjustments ?
  12. Gregaust
    As suggested . mark the nut prior to removal , retighten up to just past the marks is the safest
  13. Gregaust
    Yes . Does the kickdown lever feel ok and spring back if moved ? The valvebody will need to be loosened , then locate the selector. On a C6 you can see up in therewith the pan off. It can be tricky to get the valvebody in to line up both the manual valve and kickdown as the valvebody is located and bolts started

    There is a one piece seal available also . From memory Jon Kaase sells it . It takes a single cut so as to slip it over the crank to fit .
  15. Gregaust
    Sure sounds like the valvebody and manual linkage not aligned right . Can be tricky if you've not done it before . Need to get the manual valve in right , also the kickdown needs to slot into position at the same time
  16. Gregaust
    Oh dear someone made a mess there , no wonder it was stuck
  17. Gregaust
    Good idea
  18. Gregaust
    Nice write up . FMX can be fiddly but are a good trans

    One way to I.D , is a brass gauze is the early style , Then they went to a dacron . 67-72, then 73 on seems to be one way to tell
  20. Gregaust
    That's just the booby trap I needed to hear ... thx ... I'll check :jawdrop: ...is it year specific ? :chin: One way to I.D , is a brass gauze is the early style , Then they went to a dacron . 67-72, then 73 on seems to be one way to tell
  21. Gregaust
    No so much line pressure , BUT the cooler pressure may indicate and issue . Pretty rare though for a C6 to have excessive converter pressure
  22. Gregaust
    I like to use the Farpak gaskets with an Aluminum pan that has a solid flat pan flange , If a pressed steel pan I prefer the rubber/cork . BUT .Those must be retorqued after a few heat cycles
  23. Gregaust
    They are an E clip original
  24. Gregaust
    Make sure you get the correct year filter , There is two different ones
  25. Gregaust
    A good rubber/cork gasket works well . Don't try to torque it . Just nip it up firm with 1/4 drive socket . Retorque a few times after a few heat cycles will be fine . Trying to use a torque wrench will just bend the pan Ensure pan is flat around the holes . The Farpak gaskets are great with aluminium pans or late model steel pans with a ribbed face . not good on a steel c6 pan
