Bellhousing Breakage

CrateCamaro · 08-06-2012, 10:19 AM

At the beginning of the year I broke two in a row. Because I couldnt find anything wrong I replaced every bolt in the engine mounts including the ones that bolt in from the frame and all new bolts in the crossmember. I also shortened the yoke on the transmission 1/8 inch to make sure the driveshaft wasnt banging the trans and I also machined .085' off the converter pads to loosen up the flywheel to converter and to put the converter pilot into the crank a little more. So far so good.
