Default Re: Well, the Chevelle is D.O.A.....

A little good news:

Kammers just called and they were able to repair the bellhousing.

One rather expensive bullet dodged.

The new clutch also just came in along with the tall Mark Williams pinion yoke.

Re: the pinion yoke, I wanted to note something...

It might seem somewhat frivolous to swap the pinion yoke <span style="font-style: italic">just to</span> shave another inch off of the driveshaft, but there's a little more to it than that. The MW yoke also takes a 1350 series universal joint which is considerably stronger than the OEM 1330 series pinion flange and universal joint.

The new driveshaft will come with 1350 series universal joints by default, and as such would've required an adapter universal joint to mate to the OEM pinion flange--not the way I want to go with this. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

More details once the trans arrives.
