You reckon it doesn’t like the constant on/off in 2nd gear?

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

Nah there’s something going on with the valve body or the pickup, fairly common in 350’s to lose reverse and 3rd as they share the same clutch pack…

This being the first one I’ve built I may have got it wrong..

Apart from that I’m really happy with the chassis, hit the tyres with the IR Gun and temps are fairly even so it’s working well, responded to all the tweaks I tried.

Fastest time on both days and fastest combined 3 best runs each day gave me the overall win!

What do you think the issues is?

Assembly error…

Some Numptie (me) put the inner pump gear in backwards and it’s machined the back of the pump housing and created a low pressure situation that’s trashed the Forward and Direct Clutch packs… DOH

I feel the same mate. It takes me forever to get anything done.

And Home Dropped my Converter in for a CutNclean and to repair the Snout, collected the repair parts for the Trans.

Wrecked Pump Housing, the green arrow points to where the “600 Hp Lathe” has machined away the face 70 thou deep” normally I’d machine the surface to save it but it’s too deep..

Reco Pump, New Clutch discs, Filter screen and Sealing Rings.

Little bit here little bit there eventually adds up, I’ve taken 105Kg out of it since I built it!

Spent the morning “cleaning” and removing all the Shrapnel from every nook and cranny..

All done I’ll get a fresh start on the reassembly tomorrow.
