Well, just to make sure my memory aint slipping, I went and tore down a new style that I have in the shop. This is what I found:
#1 cones ARE NOT THREADED INTO THE CASE. they have lube groves cut in them for the same reason a synchro does
#2 there is NO RAMP system on the crosspin. it is held by the case and cannot move
#3 the ONLY force pushing the tapered cone into the case, is the spring pack PERIOD.
#4 Rusty said in the first line of his first post, that a cone style will lock up as tight as a clutch type, then went on to say the clutch type could require 1000 lbs to break free, where as the cone would be 150-300, so hows that the same?
Now, can anyone explain to me and the rest of the world, how this is "torque sensing" just trying to weed out the "chest thumping" posts from the facts, that's all
