Good times, I bet this setup made some crazy noise before it got pulled out. Lol. Might have to bite the bullet and get some new gears, just on a tight budget right now...

Yeah, I'm not sure what happened there. The gearset and carrier were in the backseat of the parts car. It looks like rather than pressing the pinion bearing on, the guy who initially installed them took emery cloth to the pinion and made it into a slip fit bearing. I've had the pinion spray...

Hi all! I'm building a rear end (my first one) and would like some opinions on the pattern I am getting. This is a 7.5" 10 bolt, I know they are weak I got the housing, limited slip carrier and gear set for free out of a parts car that was given to me. The gear set is a Richmond, and their...

I installed a TCI-374301 0.500" boost valve when I built the transmission Here are my pressure readings: No TV: P=90 R=155 N=90 D=90 3=90 2=205 1=205 Full TV: P=245 R=250 N=245 D=255 3=255 2=210 2=210 Any feedback on these readings? I would assume that I should set the...

Thanks for the info everyone! So instead of my usual research, research, research then buy parts, i gave a parts guy the carb model number, intake model number & transmission info to purchase the bracket. Thats how I wound up with the wrong bracket. Now, instead of waiting a week to get the...

TCI 376700 - TCI Throttle Valve Bracket TCI 376710 - TCI Throttle Valve geometry corrector kit Looks like I am going to have to wait till Monday and call TCI for some guidance. Thanks guys, I appreciate your help!

I had started a thread about an early 1-2 shift here: http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/transmission-talk/359150-very-early-1-2-part-throttle-shift.html A buddy of mine sold me a brand new edelbrock 1407 carb for a nice price, so I didn't mess around with the TV cable as per gsgns4me since I...

You will have to add in the TV cable bracket and the tranny lines are different, if I remember correctly. The tranny mount on the crossmember will be about 5 3/4" further back, and depending on the tailshaft length of the 350, the drive shaft make have to be shortened. This is based on swapping...

I recently rebuilt a 200-4r for my 85 olds cutlass, and am looking for some help from the very knowledgable turbo Buick community. I got the big TCI rebuild kit that includes their shift kit. After a lengthy rebuild, and custom crossmember build, I finally got it into the car. I also bought a...

Well, I chucked up the stator between centers and spun the pump in a lathe at dinner... the is alot of walk when I spun it. It looks like either the stator itsaelf is crooked (highly unlikely as it is brand new) or I goofed on the install. Once I get some time I'll pop it back out, check the...

I just had a thought while I was out in my shop trying to figure out whats wrong. I am going to take the pump in with me into work tomorrow and chuck up the body in a lathe and dial up the body. I'll then put a dial on the stator support and check it for run out. I had install a new hardened...

I've got an old yoke with ears cut off stabilizing the output shaft, and the transmission is sitting on an old 1 ton rear brake drum. There is about 1.25" of clearance from the floor to the end of the old yoke. I also made a bracket out of 1/4" mild steel bolted to where the transmission mount...

Hi all! First time poster, long time reader here. I finally deciede to do a tranny rebuild and have come across a problem. For some back ground the tranny is going behind a 400HP chevy 355, I purchased the TCI pro super kit (comes with shift kit) as well as a hardened stator, 0.500" boost valve...
