so my local shop has the task of rebuilding my trans, i already had a billet single & an HTS vb. So last week the strut band or whatever broke. I ordered the suncoast extreme rebuild kit, billet input & billet flex plate. The mechanic called me this afternoon stating that the truck would only shift from 1-2 would not shift to third/od. He also told me that he had some "extra " clutches/plates left over from the rebuild, seems he thought it was to tight trying to get all of them in there or something.....
so i`m no tranny guy at all so i`m asking you guys this:
with the kit & the increased clutch count doesn`t it make sence that it would be a little more difficult getting all back in there? Does he need a press or something after all the clutches/steals are installed to compress them in order to re-install the snap ring???? i`m guess with the increased clutch count etc that is why he is saying its too tight for all of them to fit, but my guess is it needs all of them to allow it to shift otherwise it would be a "loose" not enough friction to shift sympton.....maybe?
He has done tons of stock rebuilds but this is the first rebuild of this type.
I`m lost i really need some input that i can pass along before he tears into it again on Monday.
I know someone has the knowledge & can help me out.
Thanks Alot
