    Which ZF Trans

    I had a 7.3idi with ZF5, everything worked normal. Blew the 7.3 and installed a 6.9 idi. Ran that for maybe a year or so. It never shifted the same: couldn't downshift to 2nd gear unless i was going very slow. Reverse was even more difficult to engage. Same clutch and such. then the...

    I would like to verify what I already fear

    Indeed. Thank you for the response. I've removed the turbo and ran the motor and those funny noises went away. Will be rebuilding again Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Definitely has some up and down play, but no in and out play. I think the up and down play seems like too much. I can here it click in there... Other than that, did you hear any other unwelcome sounds? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    I think I need to rebuild my Turbo again. I rebuilt it probably a year ago and maybe I did something wrong in the rebuild. It seemed pretty straightforward and simple. If someone can take a listen on my test drive and hear what I'm hearing. What noise is there that wasn't there before is a...

    New Clutch, CMS and SC: But Still Slipping

    Problem solved! Macrobb pointed me in the right direction. When I did that heim joint modification, I didn't take enough of the shaft off. It only took about an eighth of an inch of excess shaft, to engage the clutch enough to slip it. It never occurred to me that this was a problem because...

    New Clutch, CMS and SC: But Still Slipping

    Macrobb, thank you for the response. Sure enough, I couldn't budge it. It's an awkward position to reach up and push on it, but I pushed with everything I had and it didn't move. I'm thinking maybe I did that clutch-pedal-heim-joint modification wrong. not leaving enough slack in the...

    New Clutch, CMS and SC: But Still Slipping

    Correct, it is, however, I already had the SMF conversion, so I ordered the kit without the flywheel. The old clutch and pressure plate were the same LUK parts. That is, I ordered the same parts I was replacing. I absolutely could have installed it incorrectly. I have a knack for screwing...

    New Clutch, CMS and SC: But Still Slipping

    I have a 6.9 idi with a zf-5 and SMF. A few weeks back I noticed my clutch becoming softer, or "squishier". After some more driving, I suddenly couldn't go faster than 35 or so. I found some information about inspecting your clutch pedal linkage and fire wall. Fire wall seemed fine, but my...

    UPDATE: Problem solved. No more burned glow plugs... or excess smoke... or kinda-sorta-high EGT's. As it turns out, the cam gear was 180* off of the IP gear. If the reader doesn't read any of this thread... I want them to know the IDI can still run pretty good even when its 180* out of...

    Or to put it another way: looking at a picture of a new cam, I don't see a key where you can line up the gear and cam upon installation. A key like you see on the crank and crank gear. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
