    The importance of measuring bell housing runout.

    So what changed from Fri and Sat to Sunday? The initial .082" TIR was because the engine mounting surface was not smooth and prepped. After prepping, the second measurement came in at .048" TIR; not great but within spec using a .021" offset dowel. The reason the 3rd attempt jumped up to .056"...

    The importance of measuring bell housing runout.

    There's no substitute for experience and over the past week I've scaled the learning curve and its finally beginning to flattened out. Back to the task at hand: Greg took the initiative to drop one of his 440's onto a cart so we could compare runouts. The cast iron bell had almost zero runout...

    The importance of measuring bell housing runout.

    Tomorrow morning we're going to bolt up the TKX bell to a 440 that Greg has secured to a stand. If the runout is consistent then we know its the bell. I'm actually more concerned that the bell will fall in spec. That means something is off with the engine. The engine mating surface has been...

    The importance of measuring bell housing runout.

    I don't think the dowels are stackable, meaning a pair of .014 dowels will adjust the BH .014" not .028". At .028", a pair of .021" dowels reduce the TIR to .007"; out of spec for a Tremec. I'm the FBBO member that Greg mentioned at the beginning of this thread. The TKX is going in the...

    Out with the Automatic and in with the Tremec 5 speed

    I bought the Dart with an old Keisler Engineering Tremec already installed. I love it. With the 360 crate motor and 4.11's out back, the car launches hard, and on the freeway turns 2100 rpm @ 65 mph. I noticed your bell has Keisler stamped on it. Just a thought - since the interior is...

    Who here has used a Powertrain Technology hydraulic throwout bearing?

    I have a 10 year old Keisler Engineering trans with the jyd TO bearing and two years ago it started not wanting to shift in gear. Turned out to be the master cylinder; fluid was leaking past the seals. Got a rebuild kit and issue solved. Your case is similar in that there's not enough...

    Who here has used a Powertrain Technology hydraulic throwout bearing?

    That's too bad; if and when mine ever goes out then I'll be in the same boat.

    Who here has used a Powertrain Technology hydraulic throwout bearing?

    The slave cylinder listed on their page won't work? The description mentions Keisler by name. Hydraulic Parts and Accessories and Hydraulic Kits

    Who here has used a Powertrain Technology hydraulic throwout bearing?

    I have a Keisler Engineering hyd TO bearing in the Dart (over 10 years old). When Keisler went belly up several years ago, two companies were born: Powertrain Technology and Silver Sport Transmissions. I can't comment on Powertrain because I've never contacted them, but SST was very helpful...
