How do the hydraulic throw out bearings differ between Mopar, Chevy, Ford? Are they application specific or modular meaning that only the piston (diameter) is different and swapping the piston allows you to turn a Chevy TOB into a Mopar TOB?

Here are two assembly tricks for a 4-speed transmission I came up with (haven't seen these before): The most cumbersome job (at least for me) when assembling an A833 is to mate the main shaft assembly with the main case. The loaded main shaft (I know I know ;) ) is quite heavy and since you...

What's the deal with the woodruff key for the cluster pin? The counter shaft pin is supposed to be secured with a woodruff key but the key I took out of the tranny is much wider than the slot in the new pin? Interestingly the slot in the old pin is the same width.. Do I have the wrong key or...

I'm assembling the mainshaft and realized that I can spin first and second gear but not third gear. Turns out that the synchronizer hub (3-4 synchro) rubs against the front of the third gear cone once I put the snap ring in place and prevents the gear from turning freely. How much clearance...

Are these parts still useable? Countershaft shows some flaking of an otherwise perfect shaft. I know these are available new but cost $60 in Europe. Is welding and grinding down an option (are the shafts hardened? I assume yes...). Mainshaft: this is the bearing seat area (rear bearing)...

I have a torque lock style synchronizer assembly which I think was only available on later OD transmissions. They use a special hub but the keys are the same as for the other 1970 and later synchros (3/8" wide) - at least that's what I thought. The cutout in the slider sleeve is very shallow and...

I have some pretty worn gears and synchro sliders and I tried grinding the dog teeth so that they are somewhat pointy again (vs. rounded as before). Turned out ok but could this be a problem in the sense of that the dog teeth are too far back now? Didn't grind of a lot but removed some material...

I'm in the process to convert my car from auto to 4-speed and one of the necessary tasks is to set up the clutch linkage. I think the following lines might help others who are in the same position. 1.) There are several different ways how you can actuate a clutch: a) mechanical linkage b)...

Do I need to/should I remove the over center spring when running a hydraulic throwout bearing paired to a Borg&Beck-Long style clutch (McLeod)? Thanks

I have a few questions about these parts: is there anything special about the gear on the right as the cutting of the dog teeth looks different compared to gear on the left. Which slider should I take for my build / for which synchro style are they? First one has an indent in the middle...
