    New flex plate problem with TCC

    I have a new SFI flex plate. When I put the tranny up against the block the TCC and flex plate are right. Before this plate I remember being able to rotate the TC to get the mounting holes lined up. Is some thing screwed or should I not worry about it? I already pulled the tranny loose and...

    The last two people I have hired at my shop to do basic phone calls, faxing, and general paperwork lack the basic skills that I take for granted. Both these people have been mostly homeschooled Christian HS graduates. Watching them try to make a long distance phone call has cracked me up. They...

    It has been a couple years since I have pulled the GN motor but there are a lot of small things that I want to address and on the stand will be so much easier to do than in the car. 1. Fix oil leaks, again 2. Thread inserts to hopefully seal the dog house to the intake 3. Decide wether or not...

    I have been hating driving my car lately because of the slop in the steering. Sometimes I felt like I was on the verge of losing control. I know the stag joint was a little loose and the steering box had a little also. I thought about using the popular Jeep shaft but was much more impressed...
