1998 E4OD on the outside... ...wait a minute!
Reverse into the Case (Cont.) The hub has a one-way sprag that needs to go onto the Inner Race that was installed earlier. I found that if I twisted the Hub while pushing down, that it would eventually find its' way onto the Inner Race. (The hub only rotates one way, clockwise looking at it...- SDEconVan

Thanks Typ4, You are right in line with the thinking of several other Tranmission Builders I've spoken to... ...a cracked Pressure Plate is one of the main things they pull out of failed transmissions amongst other things. The general consensus is to keep some beef in the pressure plate...- SDEconVan

Hi Mel, Sounds good, if someone can benefit from this, all the better, I post mostly to "draw fire" and get help as I go, which TrackSpeeder has done a lot.:hail Auto trans are weird science on a good day... ha ha. I'm not committed to any one turbo, I just snooped around a little and...- SDEconVan

Thanks again :hail Good to know about the Alto Regulars vs Raybestos. Now I got to round up another friction and get the Pressure Plate milled, OR I got some thickness numbers and Alto sent me two different thickness Steels and an extra number of Reverse Frictions as well. Altos left...- SDEconVan

Hi TrackSpeeder, Yeah, I finally got a shop that was willing to talk about my hobby/project transmission. He's not really a shop, though he's been building transmissions for 37 years, he now Sells Parts only, both to businesses and private sales. He quickly clued-in on what I was trying to...- SDEconVan

2nd Design (Cont.) Just to clarify what I was trying to say: Slop in the Direct Clutch/Intermediate Brake Drum Stack The other thing Mike helped with was the 0.064" clearance I had in the stack (regardless of how I arranged it I couldn't get any less.) I had an Alto machined...- SDEconVan

(Cont.) Reverse Carrier and Clutch This part is pretty simple, replace some seals, then check for fit of parts to get ready to install into the case. The Planet that was in the transmission was a 3-pinion with aluminum case: The 3 got replaced with a 6-pinion, steel case...- SDEconVan

Still waiting on my van, but no rush as I sort this tranny out.LOL:dunno Well I'll have to say that I'm not too happy about the sloppy spec on the Intermediate Brake Drum. In fact I'm not satisfied with the lack of aftermarket frictions and steels for this part of thetransmission. I...- SDEconVan

To add to what TrackSpeeder said, the instruction sheets that come with upgraded friction pack kits are good for getting tight tolerances and looking out for trouble spots. Likewise the TransGo shift kit has good info, or at least to me it seemed well-suited for the hobbyist like myself...- SDEconVan

Thanks Trackspeeder! I checked the snap ring, it looked set, it's worth checking a hundred times instead of having to R&R the trans and repair the damage just ONE time!:idiot: Looking at pic#6, maybe the quality and angle of the pic made it look that way. I got another pic I always...- SDEconVan

Yep, the Kolenes are very thin so more durable is good!;Sweet I hit the Direct Drum with some air (See fluid port at far/low right in pic) I'll try to get a better action shot of the blow gun hitting the port, basically the air pressure pushes the piston and you can see the stack of...- SDEconVan

Yep, the pressure on the Bypass Circuit does not change enough to put a warning gauge on it. But, the cooling system will have low pressure just down stream in the case of a clog or other negative function. I might place a 1/8NPT tee just leaving the cooling elements and run a dash light off a...- SDEconVan

TrackSpeeder- Yeah I got to really figure out what Solenoid Pack I have, the Baumann Controller is for Non-PWM, which I know I have, but I am not for certain yet what year my Sol Pack is yet. More research. My gut say's I have a 95-97, and with a broken plastic shield:mad:. "As for the seal...- SDEconVan

Thanks Trackspeeder, I appreciate the ideas for upgrades!;Sweet I also have to watch it though, I've got to learn moderation in this build, it is a trap!
