Re: Duane and others...OD questions 700 88

Rene-

Based on what I saw in my OD, the cone clutch seems like the most critical component which could wear out. I guess you can't really tell how the lining is unless you open it up, but you'll probably want to make sure that the friction surfaces all have plenty of wear left. (Then again, there's about a nickel-sized chunk missing from the lining in my OD and it works just fine. I didn't do anything about it because it would have cost me something like $400 to replace.) The only other thing that I can really think of is that I saw what looked like wear marks on the long studs on which the cone clutch slides. I'm inclined to think that that could eventually impede the movement of the cone clutch, but Duane will probably be along soon to give a difinitive answer to that. He knows a hell of a lot more about these things than I do. (Actually, he's the one who helped me pinpoint my OD problems about a year ago. He bet that it was the solenoid, which is what my mechanic told me was totally unlikely to be the problem! Everythig works great now.)

Enjoy the "new" tranny.

Tim
